A frightened parent arrives with a child who swallowed a cleaning liquid. Or perhaps the harmful substance is a medicine. Or it might be a chemical product meant to kill insects. These are common causes of accidental poisoning.In cases like this, seek medical help as soon as possible. Save the container of whatever caused the poisoning. And look on the container for information about anything that stops the effects of the poison. Save anything expelled from the mouth of the victim. That way, doctors can examine it.Millions of people know a way to save a person who is choking on something trapped in the throat. The method is commonly known as the Heimlich Maneuver or abdominal thrusts(腹部按压), which you can do by getting directly behind a sitting or standing person. Put your arms around the victim’s waist. Close one hand to form a ball. Place it over the upper part of the stomach, below the ribs. Place the other hand on top. Then push forcefully inward and upward. Repeat the abdominal thrusts until the object is expelled from the mouth. For someone who is pregnant or very fat, place your hands a little higher than with normal abdominal thrusts.Red Cross experts say taking these steps can save many lives. But they also warn that abdominal thrusts are not for people who have almost drowned. They say use of the method could delay other ways to re-start breathing in the victim. Abdominal thrusts should be used only in cases where a near-drowning victim is choking on an object.To learn more about first aid, ask a hospital or organization like a Red Cross or Red Crescent Society for information. There may be training classes offered in your area.4.According to the first paragraph, which of the following is NOT the common cause of accidental poisonings?A. A harmful medicineB.

Because it could hold up other ways to re-start breathing in the victim7.What is the author’s purpose in writing this text?A. To promote medical researchB. To share some knowledge about first aidC To show how to perform abdominal thrusts D. To help people deal with accidental poisoningCAt your next meeting, wait for a pause in conversation and try to measure how long it lasts.Among English speakers, chances are that it will be second or two at most. But while this pattern may be universal, our awareness of silence differs dramatically across cultures.What one culture considers a confusing or awkward pause may be seen by others as a valuable moment of reflection and sign of respect for what the last speaker has said. Research in Dutch(荷兰语) and also in English found that when a silence in conversation stretches to four seconds, people start to feel uneasy. In contrast, a separate study of business meetings found that Japanese people are happy with silences of 8.2 seconds---nearly twice as long as in Americans’ meetings.In Japan, it is recognized that the best communication is when you don’t speak at all. It’s already a failure to understand each other by speaking because you’re repairi ng that failure by using words.In the US, it may originate from the history of colonial America as a crossroads of many different races. When you have a complex of difference, it’s hard to establish common understanding unless you talk and there’s understandably a kind of anxiety unless people are verbally engaged to establish a common life. This applies also to some extent to London.In contract, when there’s more homogeneity, perhaps it’s easier for some kinds of silence to appear. For example, among your closest friends and family it’s easier to sit in s ilence than with people you’re less well acquainted with.8. Which of the following people might have the longest silence in conversation?A. The DutchB. AmericansC. The EnglishD. The Japanese9. What might the Japanese agree with a in conversation?A. Speaking more gives the upper handB. Speak out what you have in your mindC. Great minds think alike without wordsD. The shorter talking silence, the better10. What does the underlined word “homogeneity” in the last paragraph mean?A. SimilarityB. ContradictionC. DiversityD. Misunderstanding11. What can we learn from the text?A. A four second silence in conversation is universalB. It’s hard for American to reach a common agreementC. English speakers are more talkative than Japanese speakersD. The closer we and our family are, the easier the silence appearsDCities are likely to be affected by overheating, thanks to something called the urban heat island effect. Cities tend to be short of trees, which provide shade, and they are covered with black pavement, which absorbs heat from the sun. Think of how it feels to wear a dark shirt versus a white shirt on a sunny day. A black shirt absorbs light, heating you up. But a white shirt reflects light, keeping you cool.The average temperature in a city of a million or more people can be more than 5 degree s F hotter than surrounding areas. That extra 5 degrees can turn a hot day from uncomfortable to deadly. As temperatures rise, cities will be an especially dangerous place to be during a heat wave. To protect public health, city officials are going to make the city cooler.As part of that effort, Los Angeles is coating its roads in CoolSeal, a gray paint that keeps streets and parking lots 10 degrees cooler than black asphalt(沥青). It will help Angelinos save money during the summer, when air conditioning sends power bills soaring. And it will save lives by lowering temperatures and improving air quality. Hot weather worsens air pollution by turning car exhaust into smog, which can make life miserable for people with asthma(哮喘) and other breathing problems.Of course, LA will have to do more than paint over a few streets to cool off the city. Angelinos will also need to plant more trees and apply white paint to rooftops- at least those not already covered in solar panels. While LA is a pioneer of reflective streets, other cities, like New York, are already experimenting with reflective roofs or, like Melbourne, lowering the temperature by planting trees. LA is hardly alone in its effort to stay cool.“This is an urgent challenge, and it’s much bigger than one person,” said Mayor Garcetti in a recent statement. “Climate change is a fact of life that people in Los Angeles and cities around the world live with every day.”12. Which of the following contributes to the urban heat island effect?A. Planting more trees in the streetsB. Covering the streets withC. Applying reflective paint to rooftopsD. Furnishing every house with air conditioners13. What should the city officials emphasize during hot summer?A. How to make the city coolerB. Where to wear a white shirtC. Why to coat the roads with black paintD. When to cut off the electricity supply14. What benefit can people gain from the use of CoolSeal?A. Increasing the indoor activitiesB. Promoting the sale of air conditionersC. Making life easier and more comfortableD. Reducing the number of cold days15. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. L.A. adopted many approaches to fight against the heatB. L.A. calls on people to fight against global warmingC. More and more countries begin to plant trees in the streetsD. L.A. is painting its streets white to keep the city cool第二节阅读填空（每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
