A mum saved her daughter's life with her newly learned first aid skills. 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-year-old daughter Tilly.
Sonya, who also has son Emmen, six, attended the first aid course at Lune Park Children's Centre in Lancaster. Then she was faced with every parent's worst nightmare when Tilly went blue in the face and stopped breathing. But thanks to her newly acquired skills, Sonya saved Tilly's 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 1 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 compression(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 with Reflex Anoxic Seizure(反射缺氧发作).Sonya
said, “The seizure can happen when there's any unexpected pain, fear or fright It's just so lucky that the day before it happened, 1 had been practicing 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 1 would not know what to do in a crisis situation, but luckily 1 had the knowledge and skills to deal with it.”

If you have ever talked about your dreams with your friends, you may have noticed something interesting. Some of your friends rarely remember their dreams, while others can describe their dreams very clearly. Why do people remember dreams differently?
The answer is simple: they are two different types of dreamers --- low — recall dreamers and high-recall dreamers.
According to researchers at the Lyon Neuroscience Research Center in France, high-recall dreamers reported they remembered their dreams almost every day while low — recall dreamers said they only remembered their dreams once or twice a month, reported Live Science.
Perrine Ruby, a lead scientist at the research center in Lyon, studied 41 people （21 high-recall dreamers and 20 low-recall dreamers） and recorded their brain activity.
She found that a part of the brain called the temporo-parietal junction （前颞顶叶交 界处）was more active in high-recall dreamers. This was true both when they were sleeping and awake.
This area of the brain is responsible for collecting and processing information from the outside world. This means that high-recall dreamers are more sensitive to what is happening around them. For example, when they are awake, they respond more strongly to hearing their own names. When they are sleeping, they tend to be woken up more easily by sounds and movements.
By closely studying people's brain activity, Ruby found that high-recall dreamers have twice as much "wakefulness during sleep as low-recall dreamers do. And it is during these short periods of wakefulness that the brain memorizes dreams.
This is not hard to understand. Just try to think of your own sleeping experience. If you are restless during the night, you are more likely to remember your dreams, but if you sleep well and soundly, you tend to remember very little in the morning. This is because “you never get a chance to remember”, Robert Stick gold, a Harvard Medical School researcher, told The Washington Post.
As another research project at the University of Turku in Finland showed, dream content can also affect our memory. Negative dreams are easier to recall than ordinary dreams. Nightmares （噩梦）are often recalled because they are emotionally negative, and such dreams evoke fear.
( )61.What can we know about high-recall dreamers according to the article?
A. They have very little brain activity when they sleep.
B. They can remember their dreams clearly.
C. They don't know how to describe their dreams.
D. They remember their dreams twice a week.
( )62. Compared to high-recall dreamers, low — recall dreamers .
A. have higher quality sleep
B. have more sleepless nights
C. are more easily woken at night
D. respond faster when hearing their names
( )63. What is the main purpose of the 8th paragraph?
A. To explain Ruby's findings.
B. To attract readers' interest in future studies.
C. To show the advantages of being a low -recall dreamer.
D. To suggest what to do to become a low — recall dreamer.
( )64. What did the research project in Finland find?
A. Ordinary dreams can help our brain rest.
B. Dreams are often affected by our emotions.
C. Nightmares often happen when we don't sleep well.
D. Negative dreams are more likely to be recalled.
( )65. What does the underlined word "evoke" in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. approve of B. define C. result in D. extend
D
An analysis of almost 50 years of competitions-including Eurovision Song Contests and world skating championships-has found that contestants are more likely to win if they are among the last to appear before the judges.
The study by an American university appears to provide scientific proof that the best man, or woman, does not always win. It found that, on average, the last competitor to appear in the Eurovision Song Contest was more than twice as likely to win as the one who went on first.
The first rounds of figure-skating championships, for which the running order is selected at random, showed more dramatic results. The final skater had a 14 per cent chance of victory, making him or her more than four times as likely to win as the first skater.
The study showed a gradual worsening of chances for competitors who appeared earlier in the running order. A contestant who appears first in a contest is two per cent less likely to win than one who appears second. A contestant who appears second is two per cent less likely to win than one who appears third, and so on.
The findings are published in the March issue of Acta Psychologica, a scientific journal. Robert Hardman, a senior lecturer in psychology at London Metropolitan University who specializes in the science of decision-making, said that the results were interesting. He suggested that the effect was caused by the limitations of the human memory.
" When people make comparisons, they aren't really able to make a lot of fine-grade discrimination. When contestants appear at the beginning of a contest, judges have little to compare them to and are perhaps careful about the scores they give,“ he said.
“Later on, when judges are able to compare the contestants to those that have gone before, they might give more extreme marks because they feel more confident about their judgments.”
( )66. Robert Hardman's words mainly tell about his .
A. explanation for the findings B. own achievement in the research
C. suggestion to solve the problem D. comments on the findings
( )67. The first skater in the first round of figure skating championships had a .
percent chance of winning.
A. six B. four C. three D. two
( )68. According to the study, the best competitor does not always win possibly because
he / she .
A. fails to show his / her very best
B. is mistakenly put in the running order
C. meets with unfair judges
D. appears too early before the judges
( )69. What may be a problem with the judges according to the article?
A. They believe the first is seldom the best.
B. They can't remember things well enough.
C. They don't really know what is good.
D. They show favor towards the contestants they like.
( )70. What could be the best title for the passage?
A. A contestant who appears last is sure to win.
B. Judges have a preference when giving scores.
C. The best way to come first is to go last.
D. Judges usually made no comparison in contests.

第一节：阅读表达(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
I remember doing the household chores (家务)to help my mother when I was nine. I hated changing the vacuum cleaner (真空吸尘器)bag and picking up things the machine did not suck up. Twenty years later, in 1978, with this lifelong dislike of the way the machine worked, I decided to make a bagless one.
Easier said than done, of course. I didn't realize that I would spend the next five years perfecting my design, a process that resulted in 5,127 different prototypes (样机).By the time I made my 15th prototype, my third child was born. By 2,627, my wife and I were really counting our pennies. By 3,727, my wife was giving art lessons for some extra cash, and we were getting further and further into debt. These were tough times, but each failure brought me closer to solving the problem.
In the early 1980s, I started trying to get licensing agreements for my technology. The reality was very different, however. The major vacuum makers had built a business model based on the profits from bags and filters (滤网).No one would license my idea, not because it was a bad one, but because it was bad for business. But soon after, the companies that I had talked with started making machines like mine. I had to fight legal battles on both sides of the Atlantic to protect the patents on my vacuum cleaner.
I was still in financial difficulties until 1993, when my bank manager personally persuaded Lloyds Bank to lend me $1 million. Then I was able to go into production. Within two years, the Dyson vacuum cleaner became a best-seller in Britain.
Today, I still embrace risk and the potential for failure as part of the process. Nothing beats the excitement of invention.
71. What drove the author to make a bagless vacuum cleaner? (no more than 10 words)

72. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us? (no more than 10 words)

73. Why did the companies refuse to license the author's technology? (no more than 10 words)
