In daily life,there are some emergencies that you might have to deal with one day. Learn to handle the emergencies below for yourself,your family and friends.
Sudden heart attack
Having CPR training is the life-saving help for someone having a heart attack. Move the patient’s head back and look for breathing. If the patient doesn’t take a breath in less than 10 seconds, start CPR. Push on the chest. Put your hands on the center of the chest. Push hard and fast-about twice per second. Push on the chest 30 times and then give 2 mouth-to-mouth. Repeat cycles of 30 presses and 2 mouth-to-mouth until the help arrives or the patient wakes up.
Choke
Stand behind the choking person. Put your arms around the waist and bend him or her slightly forward so that the object blocking the airway will move out of the mouth. Do this up to five times. You can also do back blows—firmly slap the person on the back with your hand while he or she is bent over. If the object still doesn’t come out, call 120.
Nosebleed
Ask the person to lean forward and pinch(捏)his nose for five to six minutes. Do not move the head backward, as the blood may run into his mouth or even his lungs.
Encourage the person not to speak, swallow, cough or spit because these may break blood clots (血块) that may have started to form in the nose. If the bleeding lasts more than 30 minutes, call 120 for medical help.
Burn
Burns should be treated by an adult—the injured area should be put in cool water for 10 to 15 minutes to relieve the pain. Ice should never be used, as it can make the injury even worse. If a child has a serious burn, he or she should be taken to a doctor or the emergency room.
1. How often should you push on the chest when you do a CPR
A. Once a second.
B. Twice a second.
C. Once every two seconds.
D. Once every three seconds.
2. What can you do to help a choking person
A. Do some back blows.
B. Ask him or her to drink some water.
C. Press his or her stomach and back at the same time.
D. Help him or her bend forward as much as possible.
3. According to the text, what is the first thing to do with slight burn
A. Put it in cool water.
B. Put an ice pack on it.
C. Wrap it in a cloth.
D. Call a doctor for help.

Basic first aid allows you to quickly determine a person’s physical condition and the correct course of treatment. You should always seek professional medical help as soon as possible. 1
Check the surroundings. Evaluate the situation. 2 Are you or the victim threatened(威胁)by fire, poisonous smoke or gasses, an unstable building, live wires or other dangerous situations Do not rush into a situation where you could end up as a victim yourself. If approaching the victim will endanger your life,seek professional help immediately. 3 First aid becomes useless if you can’t safely perform it without hurting yourself.
Call for help. 4 If someone is with you or approaches,instruct him to call the authorities and be prepared to inform them of the situation so they can update the responders. It is not recommended that you leave the victim unless absolutely required, but put them in the recovery position if you need to leave them for any reason.
5 Taking good care of someone who has just gone through serious trauma(创伤)includes both physical treatment and spiritual support: Remember to stay calm and try to be reassuring(使人安心的);let the person know that help is on its way and that everything will be all right. Other ways to reassure them include asking about their names,if they know what has happened,and then about their interests.
A. Care for the person.
B. Come up with an idea quickly.
C. Never get yourself or others into trouble.
D. Are there things that might put you at risk of harm?
E. Call out for help three times before you begin assisting the victim.
F. They have higher levels of training and know how to handle these situations.
G. But following correct first aid procedures can be the difference between life and death.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文,续写的词数应为150左右。
A woman who had a stroke(中风)while on a FaceTime video call with her sister said the technology saved her life. Esmee Russell,head of the Stroke Association, said, “A stroke can happen to anyone,at any age,and at any time. That’s why it’s so important that people know how to act fast;it could save a life.” Strokes happen when the blood supply to part of the brain is cut off by a clot(凝块), or damaged by bleeding that causes brain cells in the affected area to die.
Opokua Kwapong,who lives alone in New York,was on a call with her sister,Adumea Sapong, in Manchester,when Mrs. Sapong noticed that her elder sister “didn’t look right”. And she also noticed her sister’s voice was indistinct(不清楚的). Ms. Kwapong said she had not realised how serious the situation was.
58-year-old Kwapong had just woken from an afternoon sleep when Mrs. Sapong called her on FaceTime. Ms. Kwapong said, “My sister looked at me and said she could see that my face didn’t look right. She also said that I was slurring my words,but I thought she was making a fuss(大惊小怪)and I didn’t believe her.”
Mrs. Sapong said, “When I called Kwapong, she said that she’d not been feeling well but she had been feeling tired and had been also having some difficulty walking. I said, ‘Perhaps you need to take some medicine.’ She tried to pick up a glass of water but wasn’t able to. Then I noticed on the FaceTime video call that her face was drooping. I told her she needed to hang up and immediately see a doctor. She thought I was making a fuss so I then called one of my other sisters,who is a doctor,and she could hear her speaking and could also tell that her speech was indistinct. We both told her to call for help at once.”
Paragraph 1:
Ms. Kwapong hung up and then dialed the number of the emergency services. __

参考答案及解析:
I.语篇解读:本文是一篇科普类的应用文,介绍了在不同的紧急状况下应该实施的正确的急救措施。
1.B 细节理解题。根据第二段的 Push hard and fast-about twice per second.可知,实施心肺复苏时按压胸部的频率是每秒钟两次,故选B。
2.A 细节理解题。根据第三段的 You can also do back blows--firmly slap the person on the back with your hand while he or she is bent over.可知,当一个人被食物噎住时,可以拍打他的后背,故选A。
3.A 推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句 Burns should be treated by an adult—the injured area should be put in cool water for10tol5 minutes to relieve the pain以及后文又提到了针对患者严重烧伤或烫伤时的做法,可以推断轻微烧伤或烫伤时
应该将受伤部位放置在凉水中,以缓解疼痛,故选A。
Ⅱ.语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了在专业医疗救援到来之前对危急病人采取的恰当的急救措施。
1.G 根据上文 You should always seek professional medical help as soon as possible及后文介绍的在专业医疗救援到来之前可以采取的恰当的急救措施可知,该句与上文为转折关系,故选G(但是接下来的正确的急救步骤可以决定生死。)。
2.D 根据该段主旨句 Check the surroundings.可知,该段主要讲如何检查周围环境。又根据设空处前一句 Evaluate the situation.和下文 Are you or the victim threatened(威胁)by fire,poisonous smoke or gasses,an unstable building,live wires or other dangerous situations?可以推断,该句应该讲的是如何评估周围环境,故选D(有没有东西会将你置于受伤的危险中?)。
3.F 根据上文 If approaching the victim will endanger your life, seek professional help immediately.和后文 First aid becomes useless if you can’t safely perform it without hurting yourself.可推断,该句应该讲为什么要寻求专业帮助,故选F(他们受过更高水平的训练,知道如何处理这些情况。)。
4.E 根据该段主旨句 Call for help.以及下文 If someone is with you or approaches,instruct him to call the authorities and be prepared to inform them of the situation so they can update the responders.可知该句讲的是如何寻求帮助,故选E(在开始帮助患者之前,大声呼救三次。)。
5.A 该空设于段首,应该为该段的主旨句,又根据后文 Taking good care of someone who has just gone through serious trauma(创伤)includes both physical treatment and spiritual support可知本段讲的是如何从身体和心理两方面照顾患者,故选A(关爱患者。)。
III. One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
Ms. Kwapong hung up and then dialed the number of the emergency services. The ambulance rushed to her house and nurses sent her to hospital. In hospital, Ms. Kwapong was diagnosed with stroke and should stay in hospital for at least one week. Her sister Adumea Sapong looked after her. Her doctor said she was lucky to receive treatment quickly or she could have had much trouble.
Paragraph 2
Ms. Kwapong said, “There is no doubt that the Internet and technology saved my life. If my sister had not noticed that something was wrong, things could have been so different. Not only did technology save my life, but it now also allows me to live my life. I rely a lot on FaceTime as I’m not able to travel as much as I did previously. We heard a lot of negative stories about the Internet and technology, but I think this is an example of how technology can help us in daily life.”
