55% of deaths caused by road accidents occur in the first few minutes after a crash. Up to 85% of these deaths could be prevented if first aid were given. The first person on the scene of a road accident will almost certainly be another road user. So as a driver your knowledge of first aid could make a real difference to someone in the event of a road accident.
Assess conditions
·Remain calm. Judge the scene and seriousness of the collision.
·Determine what has happened, how many people and vehicles are involved and the exact location.
·Determine how many casualties(傷亡人數(shù)) there are, what is the severity of the injuries, whether anyone is trapped, and whether there is a danger of fire.
Make safe
·Make sure you stay safe and keep off the road. If you need to stop or warn approaching cars, signal to them from the pavement. Wear reflective clothing, use warning triangles, flashing lights and warning lights. Don’t smoke.
·If you are in a car and you come across an accident, first park safely and turn off the engine before you get out to help. Use a triangle warning danger if necessary.
·Consider the safety of others. Don’t move the vehicles, look out for dangers — leaking fuel, chemicals, broken glass or dropping loads — guide uninjured passengers to a place of safety.
Call for help
Dial 999 (or 112) for the emergency services. If there is no phone nearby, send two people in opposite directions to seek help.
Do this as soon as you can or get someone else to do it while you deal with an injured person. You will need to tell the emergency services:
·where you are
·what has happened (describe the accident)
·how many people are injured
·whether they are breathing or bleeding.
The operator will talk you through what to do while you wait for an ambulance to arrive.
Apply emergency first aid
·Remain calm. Reassure the victims.
·Do not allow smoking or offer food or drink to casualties as this could hamper urgent medical treatment.
小題1:The passage mainly tells us ______.
A．how to reduce road accident deaths
B．how to perform first aid in a road accident

小題4:C

試題分析：本文介紹如何在交通事故中對傷者進(jìn)行施救的知識。并指出及時(shí)正確的施救可以大大降低
交通事故的死亡率。
小題1:B 主旨大意題。根據(jù)“So as a driver your knowledge of first aid could make a real difference to someone in the event of a road accident. ”我們可以推出本文講的是“如何在交通事故中對傷者進(jìn)行施救”。
小題2:D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“Make sure you stay safe and keep off the road.”判斷A項(xiàng)錯誤。根據(jù)“If you are in a car and you come across an accident, first park safely and turn off the engine before you get out to help.”判斷B項(xiàng)錯誤。根據(jù)“The operator will talk you through what to do while you wait for an ambulance to arrive. ”判斷C項(xiàng)錯誤。故只有D項(xiàng)正確。
小題3:A 詞義猜測題。該句“Do not allow smoking or offer food or drink to casualties as this could hamper urgent medical treatment.”上下文構(gòu)成因果關(guān)系，說明上文的行為對救治傷者造成影響。
小題4:C 推理判斷題。既然講的是“交通事故中如何對傷者施救的問題”，那當(dāng)然應(yīng)該是登在報(bào)紙的《旅游與交通》的欄目中。

If you are planning a visit to Chicago, make sure you see the city best before you head back home.
Architecture
Chicago is home to some of the most fascinating architecture in the country. One of the oldest buildings in the city is the Water Tower, which was built in 1869. It is one of the structures to survive the Chicago Fire in 1871. It is a fascinating builging to see, and is nearby the Water Tower Place, which has great shopping. It’s a paradise for the young. Another stop must be the Willes Tower, formerly known as the Sears Tower. Go to the top and walk out on the clear walkway to take a look straight down on the city. If you have the time, be sure to have dinner or a cocktail in the Signature Room on the 95th floor. Not only is the food great, but the views are breathtaking.
Boat Tours
If architecture is your thing, Wendella Boats offers a great architecture tour of Chicago.

Rooster Morris is an author, entertainer, storyteller, musician, and composer. He has performed for over 4.5 million students in elementary schools, public libraries and museums. Rooster shares with the audience some of the stories in children’s books. Kids walk away from his performances, believing they can write, draw, perform, sing, or play a musical instrument. Most importantly, students walk away, believing reading will open the doors to every opportunity in life.
Everyone knows authors write books, but how many students actually have the opportunity to watch a published author read from their books? When a student has the advantage of meeting an author and has the opportunity to ask questions, they realize authors are people from far-away places. Rooster points out these misunderstandings and explains how he started writing.
Rooster talks of habits being one of the most important things in a person’s life. If people develop good habits, they will achieve their goals and be ready for anything. Rooster talks about how he wanted to play the fiddle（小提琴）when he was a young boy. He learns to make a habit of practicing the fundamentals. Rooster shows the kids the pay-off — he plays a song in front of the audience and brings the excitement to a new level.
Rooster will educate and entertain the audience. Many students begin writing after having seen Rooster’s program. When children hear someone they admire say, “You can do anything if you want to do it,” it motivates them into action.
Laid-Back West, Inc. has been booking authors for schools for over 13 years. We know the value of a successful author visit and can invite Rooster and other authors to visit your school.
小題1:After attending Rooster Morris’ performances, kids _____.
A．a(chǎn)re asked to write an article
B．a(chǎn)re able to play an instrument
C．a(chǎn)re well prepared to start school

小題3:Rooster talks about how he learnt to play the fiddle in order to prove that _________．
A．writing needs creativity
