36、cy. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何实施CPR(心肺复苏)。1given考查非谓语动词。该句有系动词is，故设空处应使用非谓语动词，give与其逻辑主语an effective form of first aid是动宾关系，故使用过去分词，此处相当于定语从句which is given to the victim。故填given。2survival考查词性转换。the victims后应接名词，故填survival。3simply考查词性转换。设空处修饰系动词are，应使用副词，故填simply。4In考查介词。in this way为固定短语，意为“通过这种方式”。故填In
37、。5the考查冠词。人共有两只手，一只用one，两个中的另一个则用the other。故填the。 6pushing考查非谓语动词。该句已有谓语动词，故考虑非谓语动词形式，又因push与谓语动词表示的动作几乎同时发生，且与逻辑主语即省略的you构成逻辑上的主谓关系，故使用现在分词，作伴随状语，相当于and push。故填pushing。7are/have been completed考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。after引导时间状语从句，从句中缺少谓语，且因complete与主语compressions构成动宾关系，且主语为复数，又结合上下文可知，应用一般现在时，故使用一般现在时的被动语态。故填are completed。又因该动作发生在主句谓语动词表示的动作之前，故也可以使用have been completed。8to see考查非谓语动词。该句谓语动词为check，故此处考虑用非谓语动词，根据下文“看看这个人是否在呼吸”可知，此处表达的是目的，故使用不定式作目的状语。故填to see。9which考查定语从句。设空处引导非限制性定语从句并在从句中作主语，先行词mouthtomouth指物，故填which。10it考查代词。need后缺少宾语，根据句意可知，此处指的是CPR(心肺复苏)，为避免重复，可使用代词来代替。故填it。
