This morning, as I was getting close to the supermarket, I saw a small   36   gathering around an elderly woman with blood under her face. I stopped and asked if I could   37 . I told her I was certified(授予证书的)in first aid. Then I   38  someone for a first aid kit(工具箱). But she didn’t want help, saying she was fine. But she wasn’t fine. I asked her to   39  with me and we   40  about her routine of getting groceries. People brought out ice packs, water and paper towels from the   41  nearby. I put on the gloves from the first aid kit, and cleaned her up a bit, but   42  I just talked to her and held her hand.
Two   43  happened to be passing by and   44  to help check her out a bit. Finally, after ten minutes the   45  arrived and I talked to the emergency medical team and they   __46 .
I was certified in first aid years back, and I got re-certified a month ago, but I never   47  it once. However, I realized being certified isn’t   48  about providing the aid. I didn’t stop the bleeding. I didn’t   49  to examine her. Mostly it was about providing comfort for people in a difficult   50  . The certification gave me the   51  to do that: to kneel on the sidewalk, holding an old woman’s hand, and to help make those _ 52  few minutes just a little bit better.
If you’re not certified in first aid, I can’t   53  it strongly enough. It takes four hours of your time at your   54  Red Cross. With what you’ll   55  , maybe you’ll be able to help someone like the old lady one day.

试题分析:本文通过“我”帮助一个生命有危险的老妇人的故事,劝告人们学习急救知识来帮助那些需要救助的病人。其实急救并不是很难学的,我们只需要在他人最困难的时候给予安慰和陪伴即可。
小题1:考查名词辨析。我看到一小堆人聚集在一个满脸是血的年迈的老妇人周围。People 人们;public 公众;traffic 交通;crowd 一群人。根据上下文可知 a small 后面只能跟crowd为习惯用法,意为一小部分人。其他词前不能用用a 表达词义。故选D。
小题2:考查动词短语的用法。句意:我停下来问我是否能帮帮忙。watch out 当心;look out 注意;help out 帮忙; make out辨认出,理解。在这里应该是看到有病人,我主动提出帮忙,而且下文第四行也出现了短语help out,故选       C。

举一反三
Can a fish hear fishermen moving along the stream? What are the facts about the ability of a fish to see? Can they tell the difference between colors?
The sharp hearing of a fish has been proved by two scientists, who trained a fish to expect its food when it heard the sound of a whistle. And a slight sound two hundred feet away could drive fishes away. That should make fishermen start thinking.
One scientist had made experiments to prove fish can recognize different colors such as red, brown, yellow and green.
Fish also have an eye for different shapes. One scientist proved this by teaching fish to connect certain patterns with food. He used a small circle and a square. If the fish swam towards the circle, they received food as a reward. If they swam towards the square, they received nothing. The fish learned in time to go to the circle but not to the square. Does this mean that in time fish might learn to leave alone all food on hooks that they have seen often before? Here is something for all fishermen to think about!
These facts help to make more believable some of the “believe it or not” stories that have been told about fish. It is clear that fish have sometimes shown their ability to gain knowledge as man does. A good example of what we might call “thinking” by a fish is given by an experience of Dr. Andrew Gage. Fishing over a bridge, he hooked a fish. It struggled and dragged the line two hundred feet away before he stopped it. Then it swam back to the bridge. The clever fish then swam round a pile and, with a sudden push, broke the line. If the story ended there, one could say that the fish had freed itself by chance. However, Gage went on fishing. Below him he could see the fish that had broken loose. After another twenty minutes the fish again seized the food on the hook. This time it did not swim out but swam round one of the piles and again broke the line.
Many stories are told of the fish that get away and the clever “old hand” ones that can’t be caught. The more often a fish is nearly caught, the more difficult it will be to interest it next time.
小题1:The last two paragraph’s mainly discuss _________.
A.whether a fish can think as man does
B.how a fish could escape from danger
C.how to catch a fish more easily
D.whether a fish is believable
小题2: What’s the best title of the passage?
A.Fish can hear and see
B.How clever is a fish?
C.Fish can play tricks
D.How scientists help fishermen.
小题3:We can infer from the last paragraph that _________.
A.it’s difficult to catch fish;
B.fish are cleverer sometimes than fishermen
C.fish seem to learn by their experience
D.fewer people will be interested in fish

Our senses aren"t just delivering a strict view of what’s going on in the world; they"re affected by what’s going on in our heads. A new study finds that hungry people see food-related words more clearly than people who"ve just eaten.
Psychologists have known for decades that what"s going on inside our head affects our senses. For example, poorer children think coins are larger than they are, and hungry people think pictures of food are brighter. Rémi Radel of University of Nice Sophia-Antipolis, France, wanted to investigate how this happens.
Does it happen right away as the brain receives signals from the eyes or a little later as the brain’s high-1evel thinking processes get involved. Radel recruited 42 students with a normal body mass index. On the day of his or her test, each student was told to arrive at the lab at noon after three or four hours of not eating. Then they were told there was a delay. Some were told to come back in 10 minutes; others were given an hour to get lunch first. So half the students were hungry when they did the experiment and the other half had just eaten.
For the experiment, the participant looked at a computer screen. One by one, 80 words flashed on the screen for about l/300th of a second each. They flashed at so small a size that the students could only consciously perceive. A quarter of the words were food-related. After each word, each person was asked how bright the word was and asked to choose which of two words they’d seen-a food-related word like cake or a neutral word like boat. Each word appeared too briefly for the participant to really read it.
Hungry people saw the food-related words as brighter and were better at identifying food- related words. Because the word appeared too quickly for them to be reliably seen, this means that the difference is in perception, not in thinking processes, Radel says. "This is something great to me. Humans can really perceive what they need or what they strive for. From the experiment, I know that our brain can really be at the disposal of our motives and needs. "Radel says.
小题1:Why was there a delay on the day of the experiment?
A.Because hungry people needed time to fill their stomach.
B.Because Radel wanted to create two groups of testers, hungry and non-hungry.
C.Because noon was not the right time for any experiment.
D.Because Radel needed time to select participants in terms of body mass index.
小题2:What does the writer want to tell us?
A.Human’s senses aren’t just delivering a strict view of what’s going on in the world.
B.What’s perceived by our senses affects our way of thinking.
C.Human brains can really be at the disposal of our motives and needs.
D.Thinking processes guarantee the normal functions of our senses.
小题3:What can we infer from the passage?
A.42 participants are too small a number for a serious investigation.
B.An experiment with hungry and non-hungry participants is not reliable.
C.Our thinking processes are independent of our senses.
D.Humans can perceive what they need without involving high-level thinking processes

Digital Trend: BOOKLESS LIBRARIES
What if you could fit all of a library’s collection in the palm of your hand? That’s part of the idea behind an upcoming bookless public library in San Antonio. Called Biblio Tech, the system will lend out e-readers loaded with 10,000 titles for two-to-three –week periods. But don"t bother holding on to the device longer than that because it’s programmed to go dead.
Other libraries have tried similar programs: In 2002, the Santa Rosa Branch Library in Tucson, Arizona, launched a digital-only facility, and a bookless project was proposed last year in Newport Beach, California. Those digital-only projects folded—residents wanted their paperbacks—but Stanford University maintains a successful bookless engineering library with over 65,000 titles. Officials say digital libraries are a low-cost way to educate the masses and argue their rise is inevitable.
Still, some insist print isn’t doomed. A recent Wall Street Journal article notes that e-book purchases skew(倾斜)heavily toward the sort of  “light entertainment” novels you can pick up at the grocery store. A survey from the Pew Research Center shows that about 90 percent of digital readers still crack open physical books.( After all, there are only four Twilight books. How hard is it to drag those around?)
小题1:From the first paragraph, we can tell _____.
A.you can always keep all of the books in your hands,
B.Biblio Tech will lend readers 10,000 books temporarily.
C.the books will not be stored in your device forever.
D.the bookless public library can be found in San Antonio now.
小题2:The following statements are true except that _____.
A.the Santa Rosa Branch Library lend out e-readers with 10,000 books.
B.the physical books are still popular despite those bookless projects.
C.Stanford University sets a successful example of bookless engineering.
D.some officials agree that digital libraries are educative and unavoidable.
小题3:What is the meaning of the underlined word in paragraph 2?
A.succeededB.openedC.acceptedD.failed
小题4:Some people insist that print will not disappear because _____.
A.e-books are mainly sort of “light entertainment” novels.
B.most of the digital readers prefer books about physics.
C.a majority of e-reader users still choose to read paperbacks.
D.it is easy to take 4 Twilight books everywhere.

It had been a difficult move. I’d left my family and friends in Indiana, the beloved state where I’d lived most of my life. My new home in Florida was thousands of miles away from anything I knew. It was hot—all the time. Jobs were hard to come by, but I was up for almost any challenge.
At last, I taught in a special school where students have severe learning and behavioral difficulties.
Another teacher and I had spent weeks teaching the children appropriate behavior for public outings. Unexpectedly, only a few students, including Kyle, had not earned the privilege of going. He was determined to make his disappointment known.
In the corridor(走廊) between classrooms, he began screaming, cursing, spitting, and swinging at anything within striking distance. Once his outburst died down, he did what he’d done when he was angry at all his other schools, at home, even once at a juvenile detention(拘留)center. He ran.
People watched in disbelief as Kyle dashed straight into the heavy morning traffic in front of the school.
I heard someone shout, “Call the police!”
But I ran after him.
Kyle was at least a foot taller than me. And he was fast. His older brothers were track stars at the nearby high school. But I could run long distances without tiring. I would at least be able to keep him in my sight and know he was alive.
After several blocks of running directly into oncoming traffic, Kyle slowed his pace.
He took a sharp left. Standing next to a trash bin, Kyle bent over with his hands on his knees. I must have looked ridiculous. But his was not a look of fear. I saw his body relax. He did not attempt to run again. Kyle stood still and watched me approach. I had no idea what I was going to say or do, but I kept walking closer.
He opened his mouth to speak when a police car pulled up, abruptly filling the space between Kyle and me. The school principal and an officer got out. They spoke calmly to Kyle, who willingly climbed into the back of the vehicle. I couldn’t hear what was said, but I didn’t take my eyes off Kyle’s face, even as they drove away.
I couldn’t help but feel that I had failed him, that I should have done or said more, that I should have fixed the situation.
I shared my feelings with a speech therapist who was familiar with Kyle’s history. “No one ever ran after him before, Rachel,” she said. “No one. They just let him go.”
Things changed the day he ran and I ran after him, even though I didn’t have the right words, even though I wasn’t able to save him from the mess he was in. It was the day I didn’t throw my hands in the air and decide he was too fast, a waste of time and effort , a lost cause. It was the day my mere presence was enough to make a profound difference.
小题1:From the passage we know that _____.
A.the author left her family to Florida because jobs were hard to come by in Indiana.
B.students were allowed to go out after they passed some specific tests.

⑦I walked toward Kyle.
A.①⑤②⑥③⑦④B.①⑤②④⑥⑦③
C.⑤④②⑥③⑦①D.①②⑥⑦③④⑤

Poor Oral Health Leads to Social and Emotional Problems
A new report says nearly four-billion people have major tooth decay, or cavities. That number represents more than half of the world"s population. Health officials are warning that failure to repair cavities can lead to social and emotional problems.
Wagner Marcenes is with the Institute of Dentistry at Queen Mary, University of London. He led a team of researchers as part of the Global Burden of Disease 2010 study. About 500 researchers attempt to collect and examine studies about all major diseases. They used the information to estimate rates of the infection.
The report says untreated tooth decay is the most common of all 291 major diseases and injuries. Professor Marcenes says cavities or holes  in permanent teeth are also known as caries.
"Caries is a chronic disease that shares the same risk factors as cancer, cardiovascular disease. What we"re having now is an increase in disease from highly developed countries happening in sub-Saharan Africa and probably it will be in other areas of Africa, too."
He says an increase in tooth decay in Africa could be a result of developing countries becoming more like Western nations.
"It is likely to be related to a change in diet. Our industrialized diet leads to chronic disease, which includes caries. And that may be the main explanation."
Western diets are rich in sugar, a leading cause of health problems in the mouth. Wagner Marcenes says oral health problems can have a major effect on a person"s quality of life. First, cavities make eating difficult. Second, people may change what they eat. They may eat softer foods that are not hard to chew. However, softer foods are often fattier foods.
But professor Marcenes says the biggest issue in tooth decay is both social and mental. He says the researchers found strong evidence that the mouth has a big influence on socialization. He says many people want to hide bad teeth. They smile less and communicate less.
Wagner Marcenes is calling for an "urgent, organized, social response" to the widespread lack of oral health. He believes in a natural method to fight tooth decay by having a healthier diet. He is also calling for the development of new and less costly dental materials and treatments.
小题1:From the passage, we know that Wagner Marcenes ______.
A.works as the leader of the Institute of Dentistry at Queen Mary, University of London.
B.and his researchers accumulate some studies to find out some ways to cure all major disease.
C.is in charge of the activity to estimate the infection rate with the collected and examined studies about all major studies.
D.thinks that the most serious problem caused by tooth decay is cancer that will last for a long time.
小题2:Caries is a disease that ______.
A.is listed in the most common of all 291 major diseases and injuries which will last for a long time..
B.is closely related to industrialized diet which calls for people to eat slowly.
C.increases in Africa now because developing countries are becoming developed countries.
D.will cause phychological disorder which will affect people’s communication.
小题3:The writer wrote this passage in order to ______.
A.arouse people’s concern about caries and take measures to deal with it.
B.tell the result of the Global Burden of Disease 2010 study.
C.warn people in Africa to adjust their diet to prevent caries.
D.tell doctors that caries affects a person’s quality of life.
小题4:What is the writer’s attitude towards tooth decay?
A.indifferentB.concernedC.angryD.negative
