21、   Sally had just jumped in the shower when she heard her mother, Tammy banging on the door. Sally's 12-day-old daughter was choking. She was usually quick to cry. Now she didn't make a sound. "I'd been told to raise their arms when babies arc choking, so I tried that, but she was hesitating to breathe," She needed to get to the hospital fast.

The three had barely made it out of their neighborhood when the flashing lights of a police cruiser(巡逻车)appeared behind them. Deputy Jack figured that the speeding driver was either too distracted to notice him or just unconcerned. Jack soon found out it was a frightening combination of the two.

Immediately, a panicked Tammy jumped out of the car, exclaiming that her granddaughter had stopped breathing. Desperate for help, Sally handed the baby to Jack. Ryleigh's heart was barely beating. It was seven minutes out and the hospital was even further away. That was seven minutes. Ryleigh didn't have, for her lips already a shade of blue.

The fact that Jack was there was a miracle(奇迹). Good luck for the baby, he had recently completed a CPR class. "Although I was shocked, my training kicked in." said Jack. The deputy gave Ryleigh to Sally to hold, his hands busy as he checked for a pulse. Then he began tapping and kneading(揉搓)Ryleigh's chest. Thanks to the CPR class, he used one linger to clear her airway. That was the magic touch. 20 seconds later, Ryleigh began to fuss. Then came a whimper. “If she's crying like that, she's breathing." said Jack in his trembling voice. "The whole time I was thinking, do not let this baby die in front of her mother and grandmother,” he later told Inside Edition. "Just don't."

【1】What caught Deputy Jack's attention at the very beginning?

A．A crying baby.

B．An unusual car.

C．A speeding driver.

D．A frightened mother.

【2】Sally handed the baby to Jack because                .

A．she knew Jack could save the baby.

B．she needed help desperately.

C．she had to help its mother.

D．the baby was crying.

【3】Which step was the most crucial when Jack was saving the choking baby?

A．Tapping its chest.

B．Kneading its back.

C．Clearing its airway.

D．Checking for its pulse.

【4】What is the passage mainly about?

A．A CPR miracle.

B．A lifesaving traffic stop.

C．A lovely and lucky baby.

D．A mother's unforgettable experience.

22、“It’s a big hammer to crack a nut.” This is how one angry parent described the recent crackdown(强制措施)by London police on parents who drop their kids off at school by car. Yes, you read that correctly—the very mode of transportation that many American schools insist—the only safe way to deliver kids to school is now being criminalized in the United Kingdom.

The decision to fine any vehicles seen dropping off or picking up kids with in a particular zone of east London comes from city councillors’(议员) long-term efforts to make the area safer and less crowded. They say they’ve been trying for years “to encourage sensible driving and parking”, but in vain. Neighborhood residents complain frequently about their driveways being blocked by illegally parked cars for 15 minutes or more，often while they’re trying to get to work, and the streets are long overcrowded.

Now the rules have changed. Some parents are angry. Angie Baillieul is a mother who made the “big hammer” comment and says the crackdown is “way over the top.” The nearest drop-off point for her six- year-old is now a five-minute walk from the school. Others are happy with the decision, severe though it may seem. Councillor Jason Frost said ：

“Traffic has significantly reduced，and more children are now walking to school, which is a great outcome. I would rather have complaints that we are slightly inconveniencing parents than hear that a child had been seriously injured because nothing was done.”

I witness daily the chaos created by these in-town drivers，when I walk my own kids to school. There’s a parking lot overflowing with vehicles and a slow-moving train of cars moving in circles，many filling the air with harmful smokes. Meanwhile, the conversations around child over-weight and the importance of daily physical activity continue to stand out in schools.

【1】Why is Angie Baillieul opposed to the new rule?

A．She is often fined by London police.

B．She will lose her job as a school driver.

C．She has adapted to the American practice.

D．She thinks it adds inconvenience to her son.

【2】Why has the new rule been made according to Jason Frost?

A．On account of massive complaints.

B．Because of heavy traffic jams.

C．Owing to safety concern.

D．Due to air pollution.

【3】What can be seen after the crackdown is carried out?

A．Less daily chaos.

B．Favor from all people.

C．More over-weight children.

D．Complaints from neighbors.

【4】What is the main idea of the text?

A．Parents attempt to resist a school rule.

B．London police cause widespread anger.

C．American schools care about kids7 safety.

D．Different voices are heard on a new traffic policy.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

I was born two months premature with underdeveloped lungs and a heart condition. The doctors told my mom that I wouldn’t livelong enough to make it out of the hospital. As the days went by, the doctors couldn’t believe I was still alive. They told my mom I was making a miracle. With each new day came new struggles and challenges, but also more hope. Everybody began to see that I was a fighter. After about a month, I exceeded their expectations and was released from the hospital two days later.

Then, one day I began crying uncontrollably and turned purple. My mom took me to the emergency room. There was a blockage in one of my heart valves (瓣膜) and I would need heart surgery immediately to release it. The surgery took four and a half hours, but the doctors were able to clear the valve completely. I was strong enough to go home after just two weeks. Everybody agreed that I was he exception to the rule.

Years went by and I was pretty much just like every other kid. I did still have to take medicine for ny heart every day and go to the doctor once a month for checkups. When I was in eighth grade, things started to go downhill. I had a constant pain in my chest. The doctors performed test after test trying to determine what was causing the pain. When I was just about to say “Enough”, they finally found the problem. It wasn’t good and I’d have to start a treatment program for it right away. That meant missing quite a few days of school though.

I was out of school for about a month when my teacher called and told my mom there was no way I’d be able to catch up on all the work in order to graduate with my class.
