第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下面的短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
First aid is emergency care for a victim of sudden illness or injury until more skillful medical treatment is available.
First aid may save a life or improve certain important signs including pulse, temperature, an unobstructed (未堵塞的) airway and breathing. In minor emergencies, first aid may prevent a victim's condition from worsening and provide relief from pain.
First aid must be done as quickly as possible. In the case of the badly injured, a few minutes can make the difference between complete recovery and loss of life.
First-aid measures depend upon a victim's needs and the provider's level of knowledge and skill. Knowing what not to do in an emergency is as important as knowing what to do. Improperly moving a person with a neck injury, for example, can lead to lifelong disability.
Despite the variety of possible injuries, several suggestions should be followed if first aid applies to all emergencies.
The first step is to call for professional medical help. The victim, if sensible, should be reassured (使安心)that medical aid has been requested, and asked for permission to provide any first aid. Next, assess(评估) the scene, asking other people or the injured person's family or friends about details of the injury or illness, any care that may have already been given, and preexisting conditions such as high blood pressure and heart trouble. The victim's medical card should be checked that describes special medical conditions. Unless the accident scene becomes unsafe or the victim may suffer further injury, do not move the victim.
First aid requires rapid assessment of victims to determine whether life-threatening conditions exist.
One method to assess a victim's condition is known as the ABC, which stands for:
A-Airway: Is it open and unobstructed
B-Breathing: Is the person breathing Look, listen, and feel for breathing.
C-Circulation (循环) : Is there a pulse Is the person bleeding badly
Check skin color and temperature for additional indications of circulation problems.
21. It is very important in first aid to .
A. move the injured person from the scene of accident immediately
B. spend a few minutes making the difference between recovery and death
C. know what to do and what not to do according to the condition of the victim
D. make it clear what illness the victim has had
22. The underlined word "indications" in the last paragraph means .
A. injures B. signs C. instruments D. treatments
23. This passage mainly tells us .
A. basic knowledge about how to give first aid
B. the history and skills of first aid
C. some knowledge to help anyone who may be injured in an accident
D. that first aid is dangerous to those who do not know how to do it
B
I suddenly heard an elephant crying as though frightened. Looking down, I immediately recognized that something was wrong, and ran down to the edge of the near bank. There I saw Ma Shwe with her three-month-old calf struggling in the fast-rising water, and it was a life-and-death struggle. Her calf was floating and screaming with fear. Ma Shwe was as near to the far bank as she could get, holding her whole body against the rushing water, and keeping the calf pressed against her huge body. Every now and then the rushing water would sweep the calf away.
There was a sudden rise in the water and the calf was washed clean over the mother’s body and was gone. Ma Shwe turned quickly to reach it and pressed the calf with her head and trunk (象鼻) against the rocky bank. Then with a huge effort, she picked it up in her trunk and tried until she was able to place it on a narrow shelf of rock.
Just at this moment she fell back into the river. If she were carried down, it would be certain death. I knew, as well as she did, that there was one spot(地点) where she could get up the bank, but it was on the other side from where she had put her calf.
While I was wondering what I could do next, I heard the sound of a mother’s love. Ma Shwe had crossed the river and got up the bank and was making her way back as fast as she could, roaring (吼叫) all the time, but to her calf it was music.
24. The moment the author got down to the river bank he saw _____,
A. the calf was about to fall into the river
B. Ma Shwe was placing the calf on the rock
C. the calf was washed away by the rising water

Just what is a tiger mother？Amy Chua is a law professor at America's Yale University and her recent book on the subject is making waves. She's been called “dangerous”，“outrageous”，even a “monster” for her descriptions of how she brought up her two daughters.
Her book Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother describes fighting with a daughter for hours at the piano to ensure the child gets a piece of music right. She rejected birthday cards made for her by her girls because she didn't think they had made enough effort. She compared one child negatively with the other，threatening to burn their toys. Her rules include：schoolwork always comes first; an A minus is a bad grade; children must be two years ahead of their classmates in math，and playing the violin or the piano is a must.
Ms. Chua considers the Chinese hard work ethic(道德) as a way of creating happy，successful children—at least in her case. Although she's had a large amount of flak(批评) for her theories, one thing can't be ignored—the success of Chinese children in the education system.
In Britain，shocking research shows that Chinese girls,for example,are outperforming all other foreign groups at GCSE—79 percent getting 5 A C Grades，compared with 58 percent of white British girls. So what is it about Chinese parenting that's leading to high achievers？And how do Amy Chua's theories play into that success
She told me that if her daughter came back from school with 96/100 in a test，Chua would ask her what happened to the other 4 points. It's about always knowing “you can do better”，she told me.
Interestingly，in China，the birthplace of the tiger mother，people are moving away from traditional Chinese parenting. They are following more western parenting styles.
28. After reading Amy Chua's recent book，the public ______.
A. feel very sorry for their own children
B. consider her a very successful mother
C. realize their methods of bringing up children are wrong
D. don't think highly of her methods of bringing up her children
29. What can we learn about Amy Chua according to Paragraph 2
A. She is very strict with her children. B. She doesn't think her children are clever.
C. She is very interested in playing the piano. D. She knows playing is important to children.
30. Paragraph 4 shows that ______.
A. Chinese parents don't think grades are very important
B. Chinese children are cleverer than British children
C. Chinese parents are proud of their children
D. Chinese children do well in their study
31. It can be inferred from the text that ______.
A. Amy Chua will change her methods
B. Amy Chua considers her methods useful
C. Amy Chua's children don't love their mother
D. Amy Chua's children prefer western parenting styles
D
Mass media are tools of communication. Mass media allow us to record and pass information rapidly to a large, scattered (分散的) audience. They extend our ability to talk to each other by helping us overcome barriers caused by time and space.
There are various ways in which mass media make daily life easier for us. First, they inform and help us keep a watch on our world. They gather and pass on information we would be unlikely or unable to get on our own.
Second, mass media help us to arrange our time and life. What we talk about and what we think about are greatly influenced by the media. When people get together, they tend to talk about certain happenings in the newspapers or on TV. Because we are exposed to different points of view through different kinds of media every day, we are able to evaluate (评价) all sides of a certain issue.
Third, the media are used to persuade people. A good example is advertising through the media. Newspapers, magazines and TV are filled with all kinds of colorful, persuasive advertisements. Though many advertising may not say openly that they want you to buy a certain product, they describe their products in such a way that you may want to buy them.
Fourth, the media also entertain. All of the media make some efforts to entertain their audience. For instance, even though the newspaper is primarily a medium of information, it also contains entertainment features (特征). Television, motion pictures, fiction books and some radio stations and magazines are devoted mainly to entertainment. It is estimated that in the future, the entertainment function of mass media will become even more important than it is now.
32. This passage mainly tells us ________.
A. something about the functions of mass media
B. something about the development of mass media
C. how media entertain us
D .the types of mass media
33. According to the passage, what are mass media
A. Tools for advertisements which persuade people to buy things.
B. Tools for entertainments which make daily life easy.
C. Tools for communication which record and pass information to people.
D. Tools for education which help improve people's knowledge.
34. How many ways that mass media help make daily life easy are mentioned in this passage
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
35. Which of the following statements is NOT true
A. From mass media, we know what is happening in the world.
B. Sometimes we arrange our time and life according to mass media.
C. Mass media's main purpose is to pass the information of advertising.
D. Mass media can make people feel easy.

Dear Eric:
I’m awfully sorry to hear that you are going to quit the Tang Poetry Recitation Contest to be held in your school. I hope that you can be well prepared and enter the contest on time.
In my opinion, self - confidence is the first step towards success. Only when you become self - confident can you spare no effort to work hard to achieve your goals. In addition, even if you fail, you mustn’t lose heart. After all, failure can happen to anyone. More importantly, you’d better conclude the reason for your failure and thus make improvements. Therefore, from now on, you must give up the negative ideas and make full preparations for the contest. I’m convinced that you’ll succeed and learn a lot.
Looking forward to your good news.
Yours,
Li Hua
