Ⅰ.阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)
第一节(共12小题;每小题2.5分,满分30分)
阅读下列短文,从各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
Doctors in hospital emergency rooms(急诊室) often see accidental poisonings(中毒).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 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 how to give abdominal thrusts(腹部按压)to save a person choking on something trapped in the throat.The American Red Cross says a rescuer should first hit the person on the back five times between the shoulder bones.If the airway is still blocked,the Red Cross suggests pushing hard five times along the victim’s abdomen.You can do these abdominal thrusts by getting directly behind a sitting or standing person.
The Mayo Clinic health centers suggest several steps if bleeding (出血) is severe.First,if possible,remove dirt from the wound and press on it with a clean cloth or piece of clothing.In the past,people were advised to stop severe bleeding with a tourniquet(止血带).But experts now say tourniquets are dangerous because they can crush(挤压) major arteries and nerves.If a wound seems infected,let the victim rest.Physical activity can spread the infection.Treat the wound with a mixture of salt and water until medical help arrives.
To learn more about first aid,ask a hospital or an organization like the Red Cross or the Red Crescent Society for information.Training may be offered in your area.
If you know first aid methods,you can be calmer and more helpful in case of emergency.

Kristy,28,a cook in La Gross,often wondered what she’d do in a life-threatening situation.On August 29,she got her answer.While she was driving on a road,a big truck hit its head on a pickup car.The pickup car burst into flames.Kristy rushed out and ran to the pickup.Two farmers,Dean Berhard,51,and his brother Donald,44,were inside.
When she got close,Kristy could see the unconscious driver.The other man was under the passenger seat.Kristy said,“The smells were sickening.I was afraid the truck would blow up and kill us all.”
The driver of the big truck was struggling to open the passenger door,so Kristy rushed to the driver’s side.Finally they opened the door.She reached in,seized the driver and,to her horror,felt her hands sink into his chest.She quickly dragged the man to safety on the roadside,then hurried back.As Kristy stared down the ditch (水沟) with the passenger,the pickup blew up.She jumped on top of him and they both rolled to safety.
When the police arrived a while later,Kristy started crying,“I want my mum.” In fact she cried for the next three months.
