of any injury that breaks the skin can help prevent an infection. medical experts say the first step in treating a wound is to use clean water. lake or ocean water should not be used. to clean the area around the wound, experts suggest using a clean cloth and soap. they say there is no need to use products like peroxide (过氧化氢). it is important to remove all dirt and other material from the wound. after the wound is clean, use a small amount of antibiotic (抗生素的) cream. they also help to keep the surface of the wound from becoming dry. finally, cover the cut with a clean bandage while it heals. change the bandage daily and keep the wound clean. as the wound heals, inspect for signs of infection including increased pain, redness and fluid around the cut. a high body temperature is also a sign of infection. if a wound seems infected, let the victim rest. physical activity can spread the infection. seek help from a doctor. for larger wounds, or in case bleeding does not stop quickly, use direct pressure. place a clean piece of cloth on the area and hold it firmly in place until the bleeding stops or medical help arrives. direct pressure should be kept on a wound for about twenty minutes. do not remove the cloth if the blood drips through it. instead, put another cloth on top and continue pressure. use more pressure if the bleeding has not stopped after twenty minutes. if the bleeding still does not stop, send for a doctor immediately.1. to treat a wound, you should not _.a. clean it with sea waterb. clean the dirt around itc. cover it with a clean clothd. use peroxide2. what should a patient with a wound do if he has a high body temperature?a. change the bandage daily and keep the wound clean.b. put a small amount of antibiotic cream onto the wound.c. do nothing as

ago when the shuttle columbia broke up upon re-entry into the atmosphere. after landing, shuttle commander steve lindsey inspected the spacecraft and declared it free of damage after its long journey. “this is my fourth flight, and ive never seen a vehicle that looked as clean as this one did.” that is important to nasa, because it worked more than three years to ensure that shuttles suffer as little damage as possible. nasa chief michael griffin attributes discoverys success to the new measures they had taken and a bit of luck. “this is as good a mission as weve ever flown, but were not going to get overconfident,” he said. “we have to take it flight by flight.” during discoverys two-week flight, the orbiter carried a third crew member to the space station, which has had only two since columbias accident. it also hauled up new supplies and equipment, and its crew members made repairs to station systems critical to continuing the outposts construction. michael griffin said, “so with this flight, we are ready to get on with construction, and we will do just that.” station construction restarts late next month, when the shuttle atlantis is to deliver a pair of solar energy panels, new batteries and other components. griffin points out that shuttle flights are always risky and that station assembly (装配) missions are the most complicated that shuttles fly. he says only 16 shuttle flights remain before the fleet is retired in 2010, and more orbiter troubles could be ruinous for the space stations construction schedule. “we dont have any leeway (松懈),” he said. “we have just enough shuttle flights left to do the job. so, we cant afford to mess up.”5. from the passage, we learn that _.a steve lindsey has travelled four times in spaceb. it took nasa less than three years to ensure that shuttles would suffer little damage c the shuttle discovery forced nasa to pause construction of the space stationd. discoverys successful flight was due to luck 6. what do we know about the shuttle discovery from the passage?a. it broke into pieces on re-entry into the atmosphere.b. its successful flight means nasa can continue constructing the space station.c. it sent solar energy panels and new batteries to the station.d. it carried two crew members to the space station. 7. it can be inferred from the passage that _.a. discovery is the worst damaged shuttle after a flight that michael griffin has ever seenb. there will be many other shuttle flights in the near futurec. the space station construction will be continued soond. the crew members havent repaired the space station8. what would be the best title for this passage?a. space station construction to be continued.b. space flight accident avoided again.c. space shuttle discovery lands safely.d. the space shuttle discoverys two-week flight.cburns can be caused by fire, the sun, chemicals, heated objects or fluids, and electricity. they can be minor problems or life-threatening emergencies. distinguishing a minor burn from a more serious burn involves determining the degree of damage to the tissues of the body. if you are not sure how serious the burn is, seek emergency medical help. first-degree burns are those in which only the outer layer of skin is burned. the skin is usually red and some swelling (肿大) and pain may occur. unless the burn involves large portions of the body, it can be treated at home. second-degree burns are those in which the first layer of skin has been burned through and the second layer of skin is also burned. in these burns, the skin reddens intensely and blisters (水泡) develop. severe pain and swelling also occur. second-degree burns require medical treatment. third-degree burns are the most serious and involve all layers of skin. fat, nerves, muscles, and even bones may be affected. areas may be charred black or appear a dry white. if nerve damage is substantial, there may be no pain at all. these burns require emergency medical attention. follow these steps when treating minor burns at home 1) if the skin is not broken, run cool water over the burn for several minutes.2) cover the burn with a sterile (消过毒的) bandage or clean cloth.3) take aspirin to relieve any swelling or pain. seek emergency treatment immediately for major burns. before an emergency unit arrives, follow these steps1) remove the person from the source of the burn (fire, electrical current, etc.). 2) if the person is not breathing, begin mouth-to-mouth resuscitation (人工呼吸) immediately. 3) remove all clothing to stop further burning. if the clothing is stuck to the burn, do not attempt to remove it. 4) cover the burned area with a cool, moist, sterile bandage or clean cloth. do not place any creams, ointments (药膏) or ice on the burned area or break blisters. 5) monitor the patient for signs of shock, and treat accordingly. 9. the underlined sentence in the first paragraph probably means “_”.a. they can be dangerous if you dont treat them seriouslyb. they range from slight burns to deadly onesc. they seldom cause deaths even if not treated properlyd. they usually cause deaths if not treated properly10. burns are divided into different degrees according to _.a. what kind of treatment they needb. what kind of tissue of the body is damagedc. whether there is pain and what degree of pain there isd. which layer of skin is burned11. from the passage we learn that _. a. if there is severe pain, then you need medical treatmentb. first-degree burns dont require medical treatmentc. burns without pains can be treated at homed. the larger the swelling is, the more serious it is12. it can be inferred from the passage that _.a. you shouldnt cover the burn with a bandage or cloth if it is severeb. you shouldnt move the person unless you know how to do first aidc. you shouldnt run cool water over the burn if the skin is brokend. you shouldnt place any wet towels on the burned area dfarmers use different kinds of soil conservation methods to protect their land from damage by farming and the forces of nature. one important form of soil conservation is the use of windbreaks.windbreaks are barriers (屏障) formed by trees and other plants with many leaves. farmers plant them in lines around their fields. windbreaks stop the wind from blowing soil away. they also keep the wind from destroying or damaging crops. they are very important for growing grains, such as wheat.there have been studies done on windbreaks in parts of west africa, for example. they found that grain harvests can be twenty percent higher in fields protected by windbreaks compared to fields without such protection. however, windbreaks seem to work best when they allow a little wind to pass through. if the wall of trees and plants stops wind completely, then violent air motions will take place close to the ground. these motions will lift soil into the air where it will be blown away. for this reason, a windbreak is best if it has only sixty to eighty percent of the trees and plants needed to make a solid line. there should be at least two lines in each windbreak. one line should be large trees. the second line, right next to it, can be shorter trees and other plants with leaves. locally grown trees and plants are best for windbreaks.13.what is a windbreak according to the passage?a. a windbreak is a concrete wall to prevent the strong winds.b. a windbreak is a wood with different kinds of trees.c. a windbreak is a wall of trees to hold soil in place.d. a windbreak is a wall of wind to fight wind from the opposite way.14.when can windbreaks be most effective?a. the trees are planted one by one.b. the trees and plants grow in a line.c. the trees grow as high as they can.d. windbreaks allow a little wind to blow through.15.which of the following statements is not true?a. a windbreak is one of the best forms of soil conversation. b. a windbreak is very good for growing grains such as wheat.c. one line of trees is enough for soil protection.d. locally grown trees and plants are the top choice for a windbreak.二 完形填空（满分30分）sometimes i really doubt whether there is love between my parents. every day they are very busy trying to _16_ in order

are these just stereotypes or is there really such a thing as national character? and if there is, can it affect how a nation succeed or fail?at least one group of people is certain that it can. a recent survey of the top 500 entrepreneurs (企业家) in the uk found that 70% felt that their efforts were not appreciated by the british public. britain is hostile (敌意的) to success, they said. it has a culture of jealousy(嫉妒). 71 jealousy is sometimes known as the “green eyed monster” and the uk is its home.scientists at warwich university in the uk recently tested this idea. they gathered a group of people together and gave each an imaginary amount of money. 72 those given a little were given the chance to destroy the large amount of money given to others but at the cost of losing their own. two thirds of the people tested agreed to do this.73 . but there is also opposite evidence. the organization for economic cooperation and development recently reported that the uk is now the worlds fourth largest economy. that is not bad for people who are supposed to hate success. people in the uk also work longer hours than anyone else in europe. so the british people are not lazy, either.“it is not really success that the british dislike,” says carey cooper, a professor of management at the university of manchester institute of science and technology. “its people using their success in a way that seems proud or unfair or which separates them from their roots.” 74 they set out to do things in their way. they work long hours. by their own efforts they become millionaires. 75 .it hardly seems worth following their example. if they were more friendly, people would like them more. and more people want to be like them.a. this seems to prove that the entrepreneurs were right to complain.b.the one who owns most money in the end is the winner.c.as a result, the survey said, entrepreneurs were “unloved, unwanted and misunderstood.”d.it is not true that british people are born jealous of others success.e. some were given a little, others a great deal.f. but instead of being happy they complain that nobody loves them.g. perhaps it is the entrepreneurs who are the problem.二卷（满分50分）班级：_ 姓名：_ 考号：_ 四 语法填空(每空1.5分，满分15分)one sunday morning in august i went to local music festival. i left it early because i had an appointment_1_(late) that day. my friends walked me to
