***阅读理解。

Doctors in hospital emergency rooms often see accidental poisonings. A frightened parent arrives with a child who swallowed a cleaning liquid. Or perhaps the harmful substance is a medicine. Or it might be a chemical product meant to kill insects. These are common causes of accidental poisoning.

In cases like this, seek medical help as soon as possible. Save the container of whatever caused the poisoning. And look on the container for information about anything that stops the effects of the poison. Save anything expelled from the mouth of the victim. That way, doctors can examine it.

Millions of people know a way to save a person who is choking on something trapped in the throat. The method is commonly known as the Heimlich Maneuver or abdominal thrusts(腹部按压), which you can do by getting directly behind a sitting or standing person. Put your arms around the victim’s waist. Close one hand to form a ball. Place it over the upper part of the stomach, below the ribs. Place the other hand on top. Then push forcefully inward and upward. Repeat the abdominal thrusts until the object is expelled from the mouth. For someone who is pregnant or very fat, place your hands a little higher than with normal abdominal thrusts.

Red Cross experts say taking these steps can save many lives. But they also warn that abdominal thrusts are not for people who have almost drowned. They say use of the method could delay other ways to re-start breathing in the victim. Abdominal thrusts should be used only in cases where a near-drowning victim is choking on an object.

To learn more about first aid, ask a hospital or organization like a Red Cross or Red Crescent Society for information. There may be training classes offered in your area.

篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文，介绍了青少年时期在人们一生中的重要性，并说明了青少年时期对于每个人都不尽相同，抓住这个时间成为最好的自己对于成年有重要意义。

1．because 考查连词。根据上文的“‘Why？’you may ask.”可知，此处是回答这个问题的，故用because来引导原因状语从句。

2．annoying 考查词性转换。此处and连接两个并列的形容词作表语，且描述的是“Being a teen”的状况，故填annoying，意为“令人烦恼的”。

3．embarrassment 考查词性转换。根据下文的“and annoyance”可知，该空填名词embarrassment与annoyance并列。

4．what 考查宾语从句的连接词。分析句子结构可知，空处引导从句作figure out的宾语，空处在从句中作like的宾语，表示“所……的事物”，故用连接词what。

5．which 考查定语从句的引导词。分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，且在从句中作主语，先行词为前面主句整体内容，故用which。

6．of 考查介词。名词way后接to do sth.或of doing sth.，表示“做某事的方式”，根据“living a life”可知，该空填of。

7．is spent 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。描述一般性情况，本文的时态为一般现在时，且主语“The majority of the human lifespan”为单数，与动词spend之间为被动关系，故填is spent。

8．an 考查冠词。此处表泛指，且important的发音以元音音素开头，故用an。

9．potentially 考查词性转换。此处应用副词修饰动词control，故该空填potentially。

10．it 考查代词。此处指的是“不要不重视青少年时期”；take sth. for granted为固定搭配，意为“视……为理所当然，不把……当回事”，此处用it来代替“Being a teenager”。

***完形填空。

Hello, Mr. Wi­Fi. Life without you is next to impossible now. We're happy to sing your name from morning till evening, sometimes till dawn. __1__ I know you help me, sometimes you're making me do things with __2__ attention. Many times I promise myself that I'll __3__ my feelings towards you, but you're __4__ me closer and closer... You've entered both my home and my __5__. You're just a window for our __6__ and information. But we people aren't __7__ only with the window. So we open all our __8__ for you. Is this a(n) __9__ or some kind of attachment? If this is an illness, is it curable? And if this is an attachment will you __10__ me to the lifelong togetherness?

We want you 24/7. Can't you take a few days off so that both you and I can __11__？ You're a poison — not a slow one but a super __12__ poison which holds our mind and makes us dance __13__ its tune. Nowadays you're so __14__ that anyone can buy and make you our __15__. You'll never be bothered about our health but we'll __16__ be concerned about your “health”. Because you accompany us everywhere and never let us be alone.

If you were a __17__ person made of flesh and blood (血肉之躯) would we love you the same? You __18__ us with your numerous talents and we even can't get rid of you. We're all you __19__. Sometimes I wonder how people in the previous generations __20__， but if they did why can't we?

【解题导语】作者用诙谐的语气质问Wi­Fi，这呈现了现代人的一种通病，那就是对无线网络的依赖。

1．C　根据语境可知，虽然(Though)作者知道Wi­Fi帮助了自己，但是正是Wi­Fi的特殊作用让作者在做事情的时候会分心。

2．D　参见上题解析。

3．A　根据语境可知，作者很多次都对自己承诺说要抑制(keep in)自己对Wi­Fi的情感。bring back“使回忆起，使想起”；approve of“同意，赞成”；give up“放弃”。

4．A　根据语境可知，此处形象生动地表现了作者不能抗拒Wi­Fi对自己的吸引。draw“吸引”符合语境。force“强迫，迫使”；observe“观察”。

5．B　Wi­Fi进入了作者的家和灵魂中。下文中的“holds our mind”是关键提示。

6．A　Wi­Fi(本来)只是我们娱乐(entertainment)和获取信息的窗口。argument“争论”；expansion“扩张”；struggle“斗争，奋斗”。

7．B　根据上文的“You're just a window for our... information”以及“But”所表示的转折关系可知，此处表示人们并不满足于(satisfied)Wi­Fi仅仅是个“窗口(window)”。 strict“严格的”；generous“慷慨的”。

8．D　此处表示人们将Wi­Fi的作用扩大化，不仅仅满足于其作为窗口的作用，而是将所有的“门(doors)”打开迎接Wi­Fi。某种程度上而言，door是window的“升级版”。

9．A　结合下文中的“an illness”可知，作者疑惑的是自己和其他人对Wi­Fi如此依赖的现象是否是一种病(disease)。inspiration“灵感”；routine“惯例”；phenomenon“现象”。

10．C　如果对Wi­Fi的情感是一种依赖的话，Wi­Fi能保证与作者一生都亲密无间吗？commit意为“保证(做某事、遵守协议或遵从安排等)，承诺”，符合语境。recommend“推荐”；instruct“教导”；adapt“适应”。

11．B　Wi­Fi不能给自己放几天假以便它和作者都能放松(relax)一下吗？persist“坚持”；progress“发展、(使)进步”；balance“平衡”。

12．D　根据本句中的“not a slow one”可知，Wi­Fi并不是慢性毒药，而是快速起效的毒药，故用fast与slow形成对比。raw“不熟练的”；ambiguous“含糊不清的”。

13．A　Wi­Fi是一种能控制人们的思想并使人们随着它的音调起舞的毒药。dance to表示“随着……跳舞”。

14．A　根据下文中的“anyone can buy”可知，如今Wi­Fi的价格是如此低廉以至于任何人都能买到，并使其成为人们的伴侣。affordable“支付得起的，不算太贵的”；valuable“有价值的”；conventional“传统的”；attractive“有吸引力的”。

15．C　参见上题解析。下文中的“Because you accompany us everywhere and never let us be alone”亦是提示。addition“加，添加”；companion“伴侣，伙伴”；instrument“工具”。

16．B　毫无生命的Wi­Fi是决不会在意其用户的健康的，但是用户们会一直担心Wi­Fi的“健康”，此处用always与上文的“never”形成对比，强调人们对Wi­Fi的在意程度。

17．D　根据下文中的“person made of flesh and blood(血肉之躯)”可知，作者想知道如果Wi­Fi成为拥有血肉之躯的真实的人，人们是否会一样喜欢它。selfish“自私的”；dishonest“不诚实的”；responsible“负责任的”。

18．A　根据上文作者介绍的人们对Wi­Fi的依赖及下文中的“we even can't get rid of you”可知，人们离开了Wi­Fi简直无法生活下去，而本句中的“with your numerous talents”正是Wi­Fi控制人们的方式。control“控制”；scold“责备”；comfort“安慰”；challenge“挑战”。

19．B　根据语境可知，Wi­Fi控制了人们，也就是说人们成了被其掌控的奴隶(slaves)。colleague“同事”；employer“雇主”。

20．C　根据语境尤其是本句中的“in the previous generations”可知，作者非常疑惑的是在早期没有Wi­Fi的时候人们是如何存活(survived)下来的。suffer“受苦”；connect“联系”；surf“冲浪”。

***短文改错。

The second English Festival of our school was held on last Tuesday. It lasted from 4：20 pm to 6：00 pm in the auditorium. Students from Grade One and Grade Two are required to attend it. All the English teachers and some honored guests were invited to present. After the headmaster announced the opening of the festival, a guest teacher delivered a warmly speech. He congratulated us on the opening of the ceremony or wished the event great success. Then students from each class took turns to put on some wonderful performance such as singing English songs, street dancing and short plays, all of that were popular among students. The English festival provides a good opportunity to communicate with English. It also enriches my life in a creative way.

答案：

The English festival provides a good opportunity to communicate English. It also enriches life in a creative way.

难项分析：

第一处：去掉on 考查介词。在表示时间的名词短语前如有last, next等词限定时，前面不用介词，因此去掉on。

第六处：great前加a 考查冠词。句中的success指一件成功的事，为可数名词，因此要在great前加上不定冠词a。

第八处：that→which 考查定语从句的引导词。逗号后的句子是非限制性定语从句，that不能引导非限制性定语从句，且关系词指代的先行词为前文提到的各种形式的表演，为物，因此把that改为which。
