   Having attended a first-aid-at-work course, Brian Cracknell soon found himself responding to two emergencies in a week.

Brian was at work in his bus company office in Weston-super-Mare on May 18 when a colleague called to say there had been an accident at a bus stop nearby. He ran to the scene with his first aid kit and found an old lady sitting at the bus stop. When boarding (上车) the bus, the old lady painfully hurt her left leg, which was bleeding.

He introduced himself, and asked some basic first aid questions to get a general picture of her health. Then he put his jacket on the floor, using the lady’s coat as a pillow, and gently laid her down so he could raise her legs and apply some bandages. Brian said, “At first I was a bit worried about remembering to do all the right things. I made sure she was as comfortable as possible.” When he had nearly finished, he told the lady that she was his first one. The lady said he was doing a great job.

Just a week later, Brian got a second call-out to help another lady at a bus stop.

Having used his new skills twice within a short time, Brian has decided to sign up as a Red Cross first aid volunteer. As he said, “I just thought: what’s the point in having this knowledge if I’m not going to use it? It felt really good to help those people. I was so proud of myself afterwards, so I’m going to join the Red Cross.”

24. Before helping the old lady, Brian        ..

   A. had given first aid on many people

   B. was thought to be a skilled first aid volunteer

   C. knew nothing about how to handle an emergency

   D. had learnt first aid skills but hadn’t put them into practice

25. What was wrong with the old lady when Brian arrived?

   A. Her legs were bleeding after being injured.

   B. Her left leg was injured and was bleeding.

   C. She fell onto the ground and hurt her head.

   D. She was knocked down by a bus and lost her legs.

26. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us?

   A. The reason why Brian was asked to help.

   B. Brian handled two emergencies in a week.

   C. How Brian gave first aid on the old lady.

   D. How the old lady reacted to Brian’s performance.

27. After using his first aid skills twice, Brian       .

A Japanese company has ordered all of its 2,700 employees to get identical (一模一样的) hairstyles. For men, the preferred cut is short on the sides and back but longer on top. For women, the company prefers a bob with a longer fringe (刘海) that can be swept to one side. This unusual request is its effort to help the country save energy. 

The spokeswoman for the Tokyo-based construction firm Maeda Corporation Chizuru Inoue explained, “Our company is eager to protect the environment and we encourage our staff to carry out many environment-friendly actions.”

She added, “We are not sure of the data yet, but we believe if people have short hair, they do not need to use their hair driers for so long and they will use less water. If all our employees do this, then we may save a lot of power.” Some staff are confused about which style they must have and have been asking which salons (美容院) give the best cut.

The energy-saving move is part of a national campaign to reduce energy consumption (消耗) following the Fukushima nuclear disaster. Japan has been struggling to produce enough electricity since the tsunami（海啸） ended production at the Fukushima plants. The disaster resulted in a review of the country’s energy policy that now means less than a quarter of its remaining nuclear plants are in use. The government has talked about a move away from nuclear energy towards more sustainable (能持续的) technologies. Many government departments have taken measures to save power, including a reduced use of air conditioning in offices and schools. Many employees cannot turn down the air conditioner below 27 degrees in the hottest summer months.

28. The company gave the order of hairstyles to       .

   A. keep the company offices clean

   B. show a good image of the business

   C. make the staff look tidy and pretty

   D. help reduce energy consumption

29. After the Fukushima nuclear disaster, Japan       .

   A. is building more nuclear plants   

 B. has to rethink its energy policy

   C. limits people’s daily energy use 

 D. decides to close old nuclear plants

30. It can be inferred from the text that       .

   A. nuclear power forms 1/4 of Japan’s energy

   B. nuclear plants will soon disappear in Japan

   C. the company is not alone in saving energy

   D. other companies have copied the “hairstyle order”

31. What would be the best title for the text?

   A. Sustainable power is welcome in Japan

   B. Nuclear disaster brings bad results

   C. Short hairstyles may help save energy

   D. Japan is lacking in energy

D

It turns out that nodding off (睡觉) in class may not be a bad idea, as a new study has shown that going to sleep shortly after learning new materials is the best way to remember them.

According to US lead author Jessica Payne, a psychologist at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana, nodding off after learning something new is like “telling” the sleeping brain what to remember. Along with colleagues, she studied 207 students who slept for at least six hours per night. Students were randomly (随机地) assigned to study something declarative (陈述的) at 9 am or 9 pm, and returned for testing 30 minutes, 12 hours or 24 hours later.

Declarative memory refers to the ability to consciously (有意识地) remember facts and events, and can be divided into memory for events and memory for facts about the world. People use both types of memory every day — remembering where they parked today or learning how a colleague prefers to be called.

At the 12-hour retest, memory was better following a night of sleep compared to a day of wakefulness (不眠). At the 24-hour retest, with all students having received both a full night of sleep and a full day of wakefulness, students’ memories were greater when sleep happened shortly after learning rather than following a full day of wakefulness.

“Our study confirms that sleeping directly after learning something new is beneficial for memory. What’s special for this study is that we have shown sleep’s influence on declarative memory,” Payne said. “Since we found that sleeping soon after learning benefited both types of memory, this means that it would be a good thing to go over any information you need to remember before going to bed. In some sense, you may be telling the sleeping brain what to consolidate (巩固).”

32. What’s the main idea of the text?

  A. How to improve one’s memory is a difficult problem.

  B. Nodding off after learning something new helps remember it.

  C. Students should nod off in class after they learn new materials.

  D. The best way to remember new materials is to nod off in class.

33. We can learn about the study that       .

   A. Jessica Payne and her colleagues were tested

   B. 207 students were eager to take the test

   C. it tested students studying something declarative

 D. people’s memory can be divided into two types

34. Paragraph 4 mainly tells us       .

   A. students’ memories are the best if they sleep for 12 hours each day

 B. sleeping for 24 hours contributes to improving students’ memories

 C. a full day of wakefulness can make students’ memories improved greatly

 D. students’ memories are better when sleep happens shortly after learning

35. What suggestion does Payne give in the last paragraph?

   A. The more you sleep, the more you remember.

   B. Go over what you want to remember before going to bed.

 C. Teachers should allow their students to sleep in class.

   D. If you want to improve your memory, you should sleep.

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。

Most of life is regular. You do the same things you did yesterday, the day before and every day for the last month. Habits, good or bad, make you who you are.     36     If you know how to change your habits, then even a small effort can create big changes. Here are some tips to get you started:

One habit for 30 days. You focus on one change for thirty days.    37     I’ve used this as the basis for most of my habit changes. It certainly works to form the automatic (自动的) programs that run in the background of your mind.

Replace lost needs. If you switch on your computer and start removing hardware (硬件), what will happen?    38     Similarly, you can’t just pull out habits without replacing the needs they meet. Giving up television might mean you need to find a new way to relax or get information.

One habit at a time. A month may seem like a long time to focus on only one change, but I’ve found trying to change more than a few habits at a time to be unwise.    39     Multitasking (多任务处理) between three or four often means none become habits.

    40     Your change should involve one or two rules, not a dozen. Exercising once each day for at least thirty minutes is easier to follow than exercising on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays by doing yoga the first day and mountain biking the third day. Simple rules create habits while complex rules create headaches.

A. Keep it simple.

B. The key is how to control them.

C. Chances are that your computer will not work.

D. After that time it will surely become a habit.

E. You can’t know whether a different habit will work until you try it.

F. With just one habit change, you can focus on making it really stick.

G. If your change brings you more pain than joy, you’d better give it up.

On keeping a Diary in English

     Keeping a diary in English is one of the   61   (effect) ways to improve our English writing ability.

  62  (compare) with other forms of writing, it is shorter and takes   63   time. It can help us to develop the habit of thinking in English.   64   we persist in this practice, gradually we’ll learn how to express ourselves in English. In keeping a diary in English, we certainly run up against many    65    （difficult）. In the first place,   66   often happens that we have trouble   67  (find) appropriate words and phrases to give expression to our mind. Secondly, there are many idiomatic ways of saying things in Chinese. And it is extremely  hard for us to put them into English properly.

     As far as I  68   __ (concern), my suggestion is that we should always have a notebook and a Chinese-English dictionary within easy reach. Whenever something beats us, we can first put it down in our notebook and then consult our dictionary. We can also turn to our English teacher for help, if necessary. In short, I believe that it is  69   great use to keep a diary in English for   70   development of our writing skills.
