Sonya Hall, 33, of Denny Avenue, Lancaster, had only just attended one first aid class the day before when she found herself needing to use the skills on her three years old daughter Tilly. Sonya, who also has son Emmen, six, attended the first aid course at Lune Park Childrens Centre in Lancaster. Then she was faced with every parents worst nightmare when Tilly went blue in the face and stopped breathing. But thanks to her newly acquired skills, Sonya saved Tillys life.Sonya said: “Tilly was playing with her brother and they were fighting over a toy. Emmen won the fight. Tilly fell backwards and her head was hit. She was face down and shaking and at first I thought she was upset. But then I saw she was blue in the face and had stopped breathing. I reacted without thinking and immediately started using the first aid skills I had learned the day before which were so fresh in my mind. I began doing mouth-to-mouth and chest compressions (胸外按压). It probably took about a minute before Tilly started breathing again, but to me it felt like a lifetime.”After getting Tilly breathing again, Sonya called an ambulance and the doctors came. Since then, Tilly has been diagnosed (诊断) with Reflex Anoxic Seizure (反射缺氧发作). Sonya said: “The seizure can happen when theres any unexpected pain, fear or fright. It is just so lucky that the day before it happened, I had been practising first aid.”The Empowering Parents First Aid course is run by Lancashire Adult Learning. Sonya said: “I am just so glad I did the course and learnt the first aid skills. I always feared I would not know what to do in a crisis situation, but luckily I had the knowledge and skills to deal with it.” 21. What happened to Tilly?A. She was knocked down by her brother.B. She fell on the floor and hit her head.C. She was hit by a toy on the head and felt upset. D. She was hit by her brother and stopped breathing.22.

Mums should attend first aid coursesB John von Neumann was the oldest of 3 children of a banker, and his speed of learning new ideas and of solving problems stood out early. At 17, his father tried to persuade him not to become a mathematician because he may lead a poor life being a mathematician, and so von Neumann agreed to study chemistry as well. In 1926, at 23, he received a degree in chemical engineering and a Ph.D. in mathematics. From then on, mathematics provided well enough for him, and he never had to turn to chemistry. In 1930, von Neumann visited Princeton University for a year and then became a professor there. His first book was published in 1932. In 1933, the Institute for Advanced Study was formed, and he became one of the 6 full-time people in the School of Mathematics (Einstein was one of the others). World War II hugely changed von Neumanns areas of interest. Until 1940 he had been a great pure (纯粹的) mathematician. During and after the war, he became one of the best mathematicians who put mathematics theories into practice. During the last part of the war he became interested in computing machines and made several fundamental contributions. After the war, von Neumann continued his work with computers, and was generally very active in government service. He received many awards, was president of the American Mathematical Society and was a member of the Atomic Energy Commission. He died in 1957 of cancer.Von Neumann made several great contributions and any one of them would have been enough to earn him a firm(牢固的) place in history. He will be remembered as one of the greatest minds of the 20th century. Von Neumann really was a legend (传奇) in his own time, and there are a number of stories about him. His driving ability is a part of this legend. He reported one accident this way: “I was driving down the road. The trees on the right were passing me in an orderly fashion at 60 miles per hour. Suddenly one of them stepped in my path.”25. According to the text, von Neumanns father believed that _.A. a mathematician couldnt earn a lot of moneyB. a mathematician needed a good memoryC. von Neumann had the ability to learn two subjects at the same timeD. von Neumann had a gift for solving problems at a high speed 26.

He began to research how to put mathematics into practice.C. He left college and served at the government department.D.

Since more and more foreigners come to China every day, many restaurants around China are providing English translations of their menus. They want to make it easier for foreign visitors to order Chinese dishes when they travel. Some restaurants also hope that the translations will increase foreigners knowledge of Chinese cuisine (烹饪). But an article in China Youth Daily says the English menu translations have not lived up to public expectations. It argues most of the English names of Chinese dishes lack the cultural meaning and attraction of the dishes they describe. Instead, the translations only provide a list of each dishs ingredients, the article notes. For example, one English name of a Chinese dish appears as “Stir-fried mutton slices with Chinese onion or green scallion (葱爆羊肉)”.Because the English translation focuses only on the ingredients, the author says it fails to describe the dishs rich cultural meaning and charm. The dishs beautiful Chinese name, “Fo Tiao Qiang,” has a story behind it. Buddhist monks (和尚) are required to eat vegetables only, but they cannot resist (忍住) the delicious dish. So, they jump over their temple walls to get a taste of the dish. The article suggests that translators provide more beautiful English translations of the names of Chinese dishes. It also notes a more vivid (生动的) English translation is very important to provide international visitors with a better understanding of Chinese cuisine. 33. Why do many restaurants provide English translations of their menus?A.Because they want to show their dishes ingredients.B.Because the public expect them to do so.C.Because Chinese dishes are popular across the world.D.Because it is a convenience for foreign travelers.34.According to China Youth Daily, whats the main problem of the English menu translations?A. They are too long to remember.B. Many of them are not correct.C. They lack cultural meaning.D. They are too difficult to understand.35. What would be the best title for this text?A. Measures to attract customersB. Ways to translate Chinese menusC. Better menu translations are neededD. Are English menu translations necessary?其次节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 依据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to teach kids responsibilityWed all like our kids to develop into responsible people. How can we help to ensure that our kids learn the lessons of responsibility? Here are some ideas:Start them with tasks when theyre young. 36 They can do a lot more than you think if youre patient and creative. Encourage them to begin at an early age, and this helps them build confidence and enthusiasm for later tasks in their life.Dont use rewards with your kids.If you want your kids to develop a natural sense of responsibility, they need to learn what they do affects others not just themselves. 37 Use natural consequences when they make mistakes.If they keep losing their baseball glove somewhere, let them deal with the consequences. Maybe they have to ask to borrow one for the game. 38 If you rescue them every time they make a mistake, theyll never learn responsibility. 39 This is where theyll learn it from. Take care of your stuff (素养). Try to be on time. Theyre watching you very closely.Give them an allowance (零用钱) early in their life.Let them make their own money decisions from an early age. Theyll learn their lessons in a hurry. 40 A. Model responsible behavior for your kids.B. Maybe they have to buy a new one if its lost.C. Dont help them out if they run out of money.D. Train your kids to be responsible and careful.E. They wont learn that if theyre focused on what theyre going to “get”. F. Young kids have a strong desire to help out, even as young as age two.G. Theyll pick up on this belief and theyll tend to rise to the level of expectation.第三部分：英语学问运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可填入空白处的最佳选项.My father brought home a sailboat when I was ten, and almost each Sunday in summers we would go sailing.
