一、阅读理解

1.

First aid means the aid or help that can be given to an injured person first, that is, before any other help arrives. Nowadays there is usually a telephone not far away and the first thing we should do, if a serious accident happens, is to telephone for an ambulance. Sometimes quick action by us may save someone’s life.

Shock

People often suffer from shock after receiving an injury, sometimes even when the injury is a small one. The face turns grey, and the skin becomes damp and cold. They breathe quickly. They should be kept warm. Cover them with a blanket and give them a warm drink.

Broken bones

Do not move the patient. Send for an ambulance at once. Treat for shock if necessary.

Bleeding

A little bleeding does no harm. It washes dirt from the wound. But if the bleeding continues, try to stop it by placing a clean cloth firmly over the wound until the bleeding stops or help arrives.

Poison

A person who has taken poison should be taken to a hospital at once. With some poisons, sleeping pills, for example, it is a good thing to make the patient sick by pressing your fingers down his throat.

Remember: When an accident happens, send someone to telephone for an ambulance at once. Keep the injured person warm and quiet. Give him plenty of air. Do not let other people crowd around him.

D. When a person has taken poison, you should take him to hospital at once.

(3) Why can’t an injured person be crowded by people around him?

B. Because he needs plenty of air and to be quiet.

2.

External bleeding. Apply direct pressure. Place a clean, folded cloth over the injured area and firmly apply pressure. If blood soaks through, do not remove it. Instead, cover that cloth with another one and continue to apply pressure to the wound for 7­10 minutes. If the bleeding is from the ear, place a clean bandage over the ear, lay the victim on his side, and follow the blood to drain out through the bandage.

Elevate the injury. Position the wounded part of the body above the level of the heart if possible while you apply direct pressure.

Know the pressure point. If direct pressure and elevation don’t sufficiently slow the bloodflow, find a pressure point. Large arteries(动脉) found close to the skin’s surface supply blood to the head and to each arm and leg. The most common pressure points used during the first aid are located in the upper arms and in the creases(皱纹) above the upper legs. Apply pressure to the closest pressure point to the wound so that the artery is pressed between your fingers and the bone directly behind the artery. If using the pressure point on a leg, you may need to use the heel of your hand instead of your fingers.

Resort to tourniquet(止血带, 脉压器). On very rare occasions everything listed above may fail. To prevent the victim from dying, you should apply a tourniquet. Once a tourniquet is applied, it should not be loosened or removed until the victim has reached medical help. Use a tourniquet only if everything listed above has failed. If you use a tourniquet, write down somewhere on the victim the time when it was applied, so medical persons will know how long it has been in place.

(1) According to the passage, if a person is wounded and bleeding, you should________.

A. cover the wound with a clean, folded cloth and press it

3.

If you see someone drowning, speed is very important. Once you get him out of the water, if he isn't breathing, you have four minutes before his brain is completely destroyed. Support his neck, tilt(使翘起) his head back and press his chin(下巴) upwards. This stops the tongue blocking the airway in the throat and is sometimes enough to get him breathing again. If that doesn't work, start mouth­to­mouth breathing. Press his nostrils(鼻孔，) together with your fingers. Open your mouth and take a deep breath. Blow into his lungs until his chest rises, then remove your mouth and watch his chest fall. Repeat twelve times a minute. Keep doing until help arrives.

To bring a child back to life, keep your lips around his mouth and nose and gently blow into his mouth. Give the first four breaths as quickly as possible to fill the blood with oxygen. If, in spite of your efforts, he starts turning a bluegrey colour, and you can feel no pulse(脉搏), then pressing is the last chance of saving his life.

With arms straight, rock forwards, pressing down on the lower half of the breastbone. Don't be too hard or you may break a rib(肋骨). Check how effective you are seeing if his colour improves or his pulse becomes independent to your chest pressing. If this happens, stop the pressing. Otherwise continue until rescue arrives.

(1) This passage is mainly about ________.

A. how to save people out of the water

B. how to give first aid to people who are drowning

C. how to do mouth­to­mouth breathing

D. how to save a child from a river

答案与解析: B　主旨大意题。结合文章的内容特别是文章第一句If you see someone drowning, speed is very important.可知作者主要是想向读者传递如何急救溺水者，故B项正确。

(2) Once you get a drowning man out of the water, if he isn't breathing, you must first ________.

A. get him breathing again

B. take him to the nearest hospital as soon as possible

C. find someone to help you

D. call the First Aid Centre

答案与解析: A　细节理解题。根据文章第一段第二句可知当一个溺水的人被救上来后，你有4分钟的时间可以抢救他，所以让他能重新呼吸是最重要的。故A项正确。

(3) In the last paragraph, the underlined word “rescue”means ________.

A. breath   B. help

C. doctor   D. pulse

答案与解析: B　猜测词义题。结合文章急救的主题，和rescue所在的语句，以及上文内容可知rescue意为“营救”。

(4) If the drowning boy has no pulse, ________.

A. pressing his chin upwards is enough to get him breathing

B. blowing air into his mouth is sure to save his life

C. pressing his nostrils together with your fingers can work

D. pressing is the last chance of saving his life

答案与解析: D　细节理解题。根据文章第二段最后一句. ..and you can feel no pulse(脉搏), then pressing is the last chance of saving his life.“如果你还是感觉不到他的脉搏，那么按压胸部是挽救他生命的最后机会”。

Electric Shocks Can Be Fatal

Government statistics recently showed that in the UK, more than 3，000 people a year experience electric shocks in their home. A smaller number of people are killed after they contact with power lines outside the home. Electric shocks can cause a person's heart or breathing to stop, can also cause burns and are potentially fatal. It is essential for people to learn basic first aid techniques to deal with such emergencies.

What to do?

● If you are the first person to reach someone who has had an electric shock, don't touch him/her!

● If they are still holding the appliance (家用电器) that has given them shock (e.g. a hair dryer), unplug it or turn off the power at its source. Under_no_circumstances_will_you_try_to_move_the_appliance_with_your_hand!

● If you can't turn off the power, use a piece of wood, like a broom handle or a chair, to separate the victim from the appliance or the power source. You may even be able to do this with a folded newspaper.

● The victim must remain lying down. If they are unconscious, victims should be placed on their side. But they should not be moved if there is a possibility of neck or spine injuries unless it is absolutely necessary.

● It is essential to maintain the victim's body heat, so make sure you cover him or her with a blanket before you do anything else. If the victim is not breathing, apply mouth­to­mouth resuscitation (人工呼吸). Keep the victim's head low until professional help arrives.

● If the electric shock has been caused by an external power line, the dangers to the victim and to anybody providing first aid are much greater.

(1) What kind of passage is it?

A. An advertisement.  B. A horror story.

C. A news report.  D. First aid emergency advice.

(2) The underlined sentence “ Under no circumstances will you try to move the appliance with your hand！”  implies that ________.

A. you should move the appliance that caused it

B. you should pick up the appliance and turn off the electricity

C. it is very dangerous to touch the appliance with your hands

D. it is unnecessary to unplug the appliance with your hands

(3) When a person has got an electric shock, you should________.

A. separate the victim from the appliance and let him sit up

B. keep the victim warm and help him breathe again

C. move the victim onto his side if he has got neck injuries

D. keep the victim's head high until professional help arrives

(1)解析: 通读全文可知，文章用大量篇幅向读者介绍对触电的人该如何进行急救，故这是一篇有关急救建议的文章。

答案: D

(2) 解析: 本句为倒装句，意为: 任何情况下都不要用手将家用电器移开。可见用手触碰触电者所持的家用电器是很危险的。

答案: C

(3) 解析: 由倒数第二段可知，要保持触电者的体温，同时要帮助他恢复呼吸，故选B项。由倒数第三段首可知，应使触电者躺下而不是坐起来，排除A项；若触电者颈部受伤了，不应挪动他，排除C项；由倒数第二段末句可知，应将触电者的头部放低而不是抬高，排除D项。

答案: B
