17、ll kill the patient, but by learning simple rules you could make the difference between life and death. First, you need to find out if theyre unconscious, asleep or drunk, by squeezing the skin between their neck and shoulder and shouting. If there is no response at all, you need to establish if the
18、y are dead or just unconscioussometimes its very difficult to tell the difference. Open the airway by placing one hand on their forehead and gently tilting the head back while lifting the chin. If there are no signs of lifeno obvious pulse and their chest is not going up and downcall an ambulance an
19、d then start cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR)（心脏复苏） to maintain（获得）a flow of oxygenated blood to the brain and heart.

21、hould start CPR. C. first aid is not needed. D. an ambulance isnt necessary.27. Which of the following pictures is TRUE about CPR according to the passage?C“You know, the soft subjects,”says the boy in maths.“The easy ones: the stupid girls at the bottom take them. Like dance. It shouldnt even be a
22、subject.”Were choosing subjects for our A-level taster day at school. I see the raised eyebrows (眉毛) when I explain two of my GCSE (General Certificate of Secondary Education) choices are dance and drama (戏剧).I was told by advisers that dance and drama wouldnt help me to get a suitable career. My fr
23、iends told me Id get bored of dance and switch to science within the first month.But taking GCSE dance was the best decision I ever made. Dance gives me something to pour my head and heart into. It gives me a feeling of belonging, creativity, security and freedom.The education secretary Nicky Morgan
24、 has put emphasis on (强调) science, technology,engineering and maths (STEM), saying that students who focus on the arts risk their careers. Stopping young people from expressing themselves at such a young age is not doing them any favours. Perhaps Nicky Morgan has forgotten to open the door of having
25、 a drive to study that subject day in, day out. It shouldnt matter what that subject is.I dont doubt the influence that STEM subjects can have on the people that love them. But to force children into one field is cruel. As much as I try, Im not good at and dont love physics, biology or maths. I dont
26、 want a career in these areas.There has been a decrease in the number of state schools offering arts subjects taught by specialist teachers. I cant even imagine how it feels to be told that you dont teach a “real subject” by an 8-year-old boy.To the teachers, the parents, the government I say: Let c
27、hildren make their own decisions. Let them live in the present. Let them have a real, unlimited education.28. How does the boy in maths feel about dance?A. Important. B. Difficult. C. Beautiful. D. Useless.29. After the author took GCSE dance, she _.A. lost interest in it. B. turned to other subject
28、s. C. kept her mind on it. D. struggled with her lessons.30. What do we know about Nicky Morgan?A. She encourages students to learn soft subjects.B. She underlines the importance of STEM subjects.C. She suggests students take a risk in their careers.D. She allows students to express themselves freel
29、y.31. Whats the present situation of arts subjects?A. They attract much attention worldwide.B. They are considered less important.C. They are taught by non-professionals.D. They have made great progress.DI once saw a TV programme at college about a scientist who used “drift bottles (漂流瓶)” to mark oc
30、ean currents. It was a rather boring programme. I was more interested to read an article about someone who found a bottle on a beach with a message inside. Like the drift bottles, it had been thrown into the sea but 21 years before. I decided to find out more about such bottles, and I started work o
31、n this intriguing (非常有趣的) research.An early message in a bottle was thrown into the sea by Christopher Columbus during a terrible storm. He wrote about his discovery of America and expected that his message would be sent to the Queen of Spain. He wanted the news to reach her, but he thought he might
32、 be drowned in the storm. In fact, he survived but the bottle was never found.I would be excited to find a message in a bottle, but in the 16th century, it could be dangerous. In those days, the British Navy (海军) used messages in bottles to send information about the enemy. When Queen Elizabeth foun
33、d out that a boatman had opened a bottle containing one of these secret messages, she created a new job, Uncorker of Ocean Bottles. I was amazed to learn that anyone else who opened a bottle could be sentenced to death. It seems very strange to us now.A long time ago, before dating websites existed
34、to help people find partners, a sailor in Sweden put this message in a bottle “To someone beautiful and far away.” It was found by a young woman in Sicily. She answered the message “I am not beautiful, but it seems a miracle (奇迹) I found your message.” They began to write letters to each other, and
35、eventually got married.Nowadays it s easy to communicate with anyone anywhere in the world, but I think people will still go on throwing bottles with messages into the ocean and guessing where the winds and the waves will carry them. And how romantic it would be to find a bottle with a message insid
36、e!32. Why did the author do some research on bottles thrown into the sea?A. He had found a message in one.B. He had to do a project on them at college.C. He had read an article about one.D. He had watched a TV programme about them.33. Christopher Columbus put a message into a bottle to _.A. study oc
37、ean currentsB. ask for rescue C. report his discoveryD. try his luck34. How did the author feel about the 16th century punishment for opening ocean bottles?A. Frightening.B. Astonishing.C. Amusing.D. Satisfying.35. Why did the young woman in Sicily reply to the Swedish sailor s message? A. She was i
38、mpressed by the bottle s journey.B. She felt she fitted his description.C. She failed to access a dating website.D .She wanted to have a pen friend.第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to keep yourself safe from new virus?After a new-type coronavirus was detected in vir
