Help someone who is having a seizure
Seizures (
疾病突发
) can be scary things for people who have never experienced them before.
Luckily, helping people with seizures is relatively straightforward.
·Clear the surroundings to protect the person from hurting themselves.
·Activate (
激活
) emergency medical services if the seizure lasts more than 5 minutes or if the person
is not breathing afterward.
·After this period of time has ended, help them to the floor and put something soft or flat under their
head. Turn them on to their side to ease breathing, but do not hold the person down or try to stop
their movements.
·Be friendly and reassure them as their consciousness (
意识
) returns and do not offer food or water
until they are fully alert.
Help someone survive a heart attack
It helps to know the symptoms of a heart attack, which can include rapid heartbeat, pressure or pain
in the chest, a sore throat, general unease, and sweating. Rush the person to the hospital immediately
while giving them an aspirin, which the person should chew.
Identify someone having a stroke
Again, knowing the symptoms of a stroke is important. They include temporary inability to talk or
understand what is being said, confusion, loss of balance or dizziness, inability to raise their arms
and severe headaches with no warning, among others. Rush a person that you suspect has had a
stroke to the emergency room immediately.
21. Which of the following treatments is proper to save people with seizures?
A
．
Protecting them against injuries from others.
B
．
Having the meat or drink nothing before recovery.

D
．
Contacting doctors the moment the condition happens.

C
．
A brochure for visitors.
A few weeks ago, someone posted a photo on my small town’s community webpage. It was of the
construction site of our new child-care facility, located at the elementary school. Crews had just
B
．
A website about health.
D
．
A guidebook about animals.

finished fixing a very large, permanent sign. In all capital letters, it read: EARLY CHILDHOOD
LEARNING CENTER.
My cheeks heated. Although I rarely post, my fingers itched. I had to comment. “Looks great,” I
wrote, “but it’s spelled American! It should be centre’.”
About 15 years ago in Calgary, my two children started attending a brand-new elementary school.
The door plate on the counsellor’s room read, “counselor”. I frowned (
皱眉
) every time I passed by.
At the same school, my kindergarten-age daughter was sent home with a list of words to learn, with
at least one word incorrect. I corrected the teacher. I didn’t bother correcting the “counselor”. But as
a daily defender of Canadianisms, inaccuracies like these scream out to me. Worse, they feel like a
punch to the gut — especially when they’re huge and can be clearly read from blocks away. We’re
practically American as it is. If we proudly announce new “centers”, will our uniqueness continue to
fade?
Languages are living things, always changing with the times. That is why educational settings must
be careful — including a child-care facility being built by the school district itself. A habit set in
childhood is a habit set for life. My own daughter, as she was about to graduate from high school,
wrote an essay using “practice” as a verb. I tried to persuade her to change it to “practise”. She
refused. She said that spelling it like that would best range.
That’s the point. If becoming Americanized makes us “normal”, I’m all for being strange. So
whoever ordered the sign, please ask a worker to remove the final “e” and “r” and flip them the other
way around. The effort would be slight but the impact would be grand.
24. Why did the author post comments about the school sign?
A
．
It was put in a wrong place.
C
．
Americans were confused by the words.
B
．
The words couldn’t be read clearly.
D
．
It used the American spelling for one
word.
25. What can we learn from the third paragraph about the author?
A
．
She liked English as an American Canadian.
B
．
She attached great importance to education.
C
．
She tried to keep Canadian English unique.
D
．
She hated correcting American spellings of words.
26. What does the author think educational settings should be careful about?
A
．
Teaching the different spellings of words.
B
．
Making changes with the times in teaching.
C
．
Developing students’ habit of writing correctly.
D
．
Requiring students to know about living languages.
27. What is the text mainly about?
A
．
A trend for American English.
C
．
Away to change Canadian English.
Humanity’s impact on the environment is often framed in the context of the post-industrial era but
new research shows how intensive land use by a medieval East African population changed their
natural habitat forever.
Unguja Ukuu, a historic settlement located on Zanzibar Island, in Zanzibar, Tanzania, was a key port
of trade in the Indian Ocean by the first millennium (
一千年
) AD when the island was populated by
farming societies establishing trade links with the Indian Ocean, China and beyond.
“The islands of Zanzibar witnessed numerous environmental and cultural changes as the region
became a center of maritime trade, cross-cultural interaction, and global exchange,” says the study’s
lead author Dr. Ania Kotarba-Morley.
These changes resulted in the dumping of food remains, general waste and increased agricultural
activity and land use, all of which negatively impacted sediment (
沉淀物
) build-up along the island.
“Our study outlines clearly how human disturbance in a natural environment impacted coastal
landforms and sediments on a remote East African island already over 1,000 years ago and directly
changed the fortunes of the coastal inhabitants in the area as a result,” says Dr. Ania.
The researchers applied a variety of standards and new techniques to find new patterns which
improve our understanding of the changes in the make-up of the sediment along the coastline of
local creeks (
小海湾
) and the bay on the island, directly impacted by human activity.
To help understand how and why these ancient ports thrived (
繁荣
) or declined, it is important to
know how the coastal landscape influenced the way traders undertook their commercial activities, or
drove decisions, including mooring (
停泊
) locations and investments of labour and capital by local
communities and any central authorities.
The researchers say these processes might be responsible for the decline, and eventual abandonment
of Unguja Ukuu at the turn of the second millennium AD — a period of regional socio-political and
economic transformation of coastal African societies that marked the appearance of maritime
Swahili culture.
28. What can we infer about Zanzibar Island in the first millennium AD?
A
．
It had the biggest port of trade.
C
．
It was the center of the world industry.
29. What did Dr. Ania’s research find out?
A
．
Agricultural activities promoted global exchange.
B
．
The building of Unguja Ukuu destroyed the shoreline.
C
．
The Indian Ocean was the birthplace of globalization.
D
．
Ancient humans influenced African island environment.
B
．
It had developed agriculture.
D
．
It had the settlements of first Africans.
B
．
A defence of Canadian spelling.
D
．
A struggle to use English correctly.
30. What did the researchers focus on in the study?
A
．
The fish numbers.
C
．
The changes of coastal landscape.
B
．
The bay on the island.
D
．
The make-up of the local creeks.
31. What happened at the turn of the second millennium AD?
A
．
Unguja Ukuu was deserted.
B
．
The Swahili culture disappeared.
C
．
The cross-cultural interaction started.
D
．
The trade links were established in the world.
An antibacterial drug obtained from the liquid of an Australian tree has shown promise for treating
chronic (
慢性的
) wounds in animal tests.
Chronic wounds are common in people with diabetes (
糖尿病
), because poor circulation and other
symptoms slow down healing. Such wounds are painful and have a high risk of infection.
Doctors increasingly want to control the use of antibiotics (
抗生素
) in order to minimize the
development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. To look for alternatives, David Thomas at Cardiff
University in the UK and his colleagues investigated chemicals obtained from the liquid of the blush
wood tree, which grows in Australia.
They tested a gel containing a promising chemical called EBC-1013 in two animals: mice used to
model diabetes, with chronic wounds, and milk cows. All milk cows have their horns taken off, so
the researchers applied the treatment to this wound.
In the cows treated with EBC-1013, 75 percent of the wounds were recovered after 28 days,
compared with just 25 percent of untreated wounds. In the mice, complete wound recovery was
observed in five of the seven animals studied, whereas none of the seven wounds was recovered in
the control group.
Bacteria in chronic wounds are more likely to form a sticky material called a biofilm. They are
resistant to antibiotics, making such wounds difficult to treat. The new drug appears to disrupt the
structure of biofilms and cause the production of cells and proteins that promote recovery.
“The next challenge will be to show that these preclinical findings translate into the clinic and that
they can be developed into a safe and cost-effective treatment for chronic wounds,” says Matthew
Hardman the at University of Hull, UK.
32. What’s the purpose of the research on the tree liquid?
A
．
To increase the use of antibiotics.
C
．
To reduce the growth of the bacteria.
B
．
To find replacements for antibiotics.
D
．
To strengthen the circulation of patients.
33. What does the underlined word “disrupt” in the sixth paragraph mean?
