21、A blocked airway can kill someone in three to four minutes, but it can take more than eight minutes for an ambulance to arrive. So a simple procedure such as opening someone’s airway can save their life while they’re waiting for emergency medical help. This means you’re more likely to give first aid to someone you know than a stranger.
There are many misconceptions surrounding first aid. Below are the "most popular" ones with details of what you should do.
Top four first aid misconceptions:
You should put butter or cream on a burn. The only thing you should put on a burn is cold water—keep the butter for cooking. Put the affected area under cold running water for at least ten minutes
The best way to treat bleeding is to put the wound under a tap. If you put a bleeding wound under a tap, you wash away the body`s clotting agents（凝血剂）and make it bleed more. Instead, put pressure on the wound with whatever is available to stop or slow down the flow of blood. As soon as possible call 911. Keep pressure on the wound until help arrives.
Nosebleeds are best treated by putting the head back. If you put the head back during a nosebleed, all the blood goes down the back of the airway. Instead, advise them to tilt（倾斜）their head forwards and ask them to pinch（捏）the end of their nose and breathe through their mouth.
You need lots of training to do first aid. You don’t—what you mostly need is common sense. You can learn enough first aid knowledge in a few minutes to save someone`s life—whether it`s from reading a book, attending a course or watching videos online.
Remember that anyone can save a life.

22、A start-up company in California, called Zume, is testing machines that make pizza. The robot takes and shapes dough to create the base of the pizza. It then adds tomato sauce, cheese, meat or other toppings. Next, the robot places the uncooked pizza into a hot oven. A few minutes later, the pizza is ready. The pizza comes out the same each time. Zume says the robots work quickly and do not get sick. The robots do not get paid either.
Julia Collins is the company’s founder and chief executive officer (CEO). Her business can spend money on better food products because it does not have to pay the robots. Zume is using robots to make pizza.
Charity Suzuki has bought the robot-made pizza. She likes its taste. “It’s delicious. It’s always hot and fresh when it comes. I mean it’s great that they’re making it, but I can’t tell the difference that it’s made by a robot versus a human.”
The companies say they are developing robots so people can get higher quality food faster. But what about the jobs the robots are taking from humans?
Ken Goldberg is a professor at the University of California in Berkeley. He also directs the school’s automation laboratory. Goldberg said researchers have been working with robots for 50 years. He said that, while there has been progress, the jobs are not going to disappear right away. “I want to reassure restaurant workers that the skills that they have are still going to be of value,” Goldberg said.
“We’re going to get rid of boring, repetitive, dangerous jobs and we’re going to free up people to do things that have higher value. There’s going to be amazing new ways of working that don’t exist yet that are going to be created.”
【1】Why can Zume devote more money on better food products?
A. It earns a lot by selling pizza.
B. It wants to create more robots.
C. It can save a lot by using robots.
D. It hopes to attract more customers.
【2】What can we know about the robot-made pizza according to Suzuki?
A. It really agrees with her.
B. It is hot and fresh all the time.
C. It is tastier than the man-made.
D. It is delicious and free of charge.
【3】What’s the benefit of robots’ making pizza?
A. They work efficiently.
B. They help sick people.
C. They need little payment.
D. They produce more food.
【4】What does Goldberg think of the jobs of restaurant workers?
A. Disappearing. B. Boring.
C. Dangerous. D. Necessary.
23、 We’re loving the sea to death. We swim into it, live near it, build beside it, and even imagine about living under the sea. For much of our history, we have turned to “hard engineering” to control the marine environment and manage its influence on us. We build dams, sea walls and channels. But all these efforts seem to fail, because we’ve not been thinking about design of structures with respect to ecology. Some coastal structures create shade, which reduces the growth of seaweed. Bright lights at night contuse species such as turtles. That’s why blue engineering comes in.
Johnson, a marine ecologist, is advocating for “blue engineering” — the marine version of the “green engineering” movement on land that has seen nations like Singapore building the walls and roofs of the concrete jungle with plant life.
Researchers with the World Harbour Project are creating tiles similar to the natural structures found on rocky shores with 3D printing technology. These make more attractive homes for marine creatures. Researchers are also actively seeding these tiles with local seaweeds and creatures such as the Sydney rock oyster, which is particularly good at improving water quality. Twelve harbors around the world are taking part in this marine tile experiment, each working with their own unique marine life.
It’s a far cry from the days when huge numbers of old tyres were thrown into the sea to build “artificial reefs”. Those early attempts are now costing millions to remove, showing just how far we have yet to go in understanding how best to co-habit with the underwater world.
【1】What do we know about “hard engineering”?
A.It has improved sea environment. B.It controls the influence of sea well.
C.It has failed to achieve its purpose. D.It makes living under the sea possible.
【2】What does the underlined word “contuse” in Paragraph 1 mean？
A.Injure. B.Heat. C.Defend. D.Involve.
【3】Which of the following is a form of “blue engineering”?
A.Growing plant life on concrete buildings. B.Building rocky shores with 3D printers.
C.Creating an artificial reef with old tyres. D.Building structures benefiting sea creatures.
【4】What’s the main idea of the passage?
A.Two ways of sea engineering. B.The green engineering movement.
C.Construction of artificial reefs. D.Research on blue engineering.
24、Climate change in the coming decades could lead to an increase in cases of kidney stones(肾结石), according to a research by scientists in the United States.
A research team from the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia knew from previous studies that high temperatures and dehydration (脱水) increase the risk of developing kidney stones. The researchers said incidence (发生率) of the condition has increased in the last 20 years.
The scientists created a model to estimate the impact of heat on future kidney stone presentations in the southeastern US state of South Carolina, which has a higher incidence of kidney stone disease. The model predicted that the number of cases will increase between 2.2 percent and 3.9 percent by the year 2089, depending on projected daily temperatures under two climate change circumstances. In the first case, greenhouse gas emissions (排放物) are cut to an middle level as humans shift to using lower-emissions sources of energy, while in the second, emissions continue at the current rate. Meanwhile, in the first case, average temperatures increase by 2.3℃ by 2100, compared with 3.6℃ in the second. These projections were taken from studies made by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
In comments with a news release, Gregory E Tasian, a urologist at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and senior author of the study, said, “While it is impossible to predict with certainty how future policies will slow or speed greenhouse gas emission and anthropogenic (人为的) climate change, and to know exactly what future daily temperatures will be, our analysis suggests that a warming planet will likely cause an increased burden of kidney stone disease on healthcare systems. As researchers, we have a duty to explore the burden of climate change on human health.”
【1】Why does the author talk about temperature increase?
A．To find the reason of climate change.
B．To estimate the burden of kidney stones.
C．To predict the strength of greenhouse gas emissions.
D．To confirm the increasing incidence of kidney stones.
【2】How did the scientists start the study?
A．By creating a model.
B．By predicting the effect.
C．By collecting information.
D．By measuring temperatures.
【3】What can be inferred about global warming?
A．It will increase daily temperatures greatly.
B．It will be predicted by the model accurately.
C．It will likely have bad effects on human health.
D．It will be certainly controlled by future polices.
【4】What is the scientists’ attitude to the impact of climate change on kidney stones?
A．Ambiguous.
B．Concerned.
C．Cautious.
D．Doubtful.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文.
Nada Popovici was at a professional hockey (曲棍球) game. She kept looking at the back of the man’s neck. She wrote a message with the words “mole (痣)”“cancer” and “doctor” on her phone in bright red type. She did it to get the attention of the man, Brian Hamilton. He is an assistant equipment manager for the Vancouver Canucks hockey team.
Mr. Hamilton had a small mole on his neck. It was irregularly shaped and red-brown. These are the signs of a cancerous mole that Ms. Popovici had learned to spot. Maybe he already knew? But if so, why was the mole still there? She thought that Mr. Hamilton did not know.
“I need to tell him.” Ms. Popovici typed a message on her phone. The game ended. After waving at him several times, she finally drew Mr. Hamilton's attention. She placed her phone against the glass. The message read, “The mole on the back of your neck is possibly cancerous. Please go see a doctor!”
Mr. Hamilton looked at the message, rubbed the back of his neck, and kept walking. He was thinking, “Well, that’s strange.”
After the game, Mr. Hamilton went home and asked his partner to spot the mole, and she said she could. He asked the team doctor if it was worrisome. It was. Then after he had it removed, he waited for the biopsy (活检) results. Was the fan sitting behind the team's bench right？
Indeed, Ms. Popovici was correct. She had saved Hamilton’s life. Doctors later told him that it was a type of skin cancer. They said they could remove with ease and treat. But early detection is important. “The sooner you find something, the better it is,” a doctor said.
Mr. Hamilton recalled the doctor telling him, “I am going to diagnose you with cancer. And I am going to cure you of cancer in the same phone call.”
Once he knew he was fine, Mr. Hamilton tried to find the woman he described as “a hero”.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Mr. Hamilton wrote a letter posted on the team’s Twitter account.
