5 . Can you imagine just completing a life-saving training course and then having to test out your skills the very next day - on your best friend? 16-year-old Torri’ell Norwood was behind the wheel of her car when another driver hit her car. The crash made the car containing Norwood and her three passengers go across someone’s front lawn (草坪) and hit a tree.

The impact jammed Norwood’s side door shut, so she climbed out of the front window. Two of her friends also managed to get out of the car unharmed, but the accident caused her friend A’ zarria Simmons to hit her head on the backseat window. “When I turned around, I didn’t see A’ zarria running with us,” said Norwood. “So, I had to run back to the car as fast as I could. She was just sitting there unresponsive.”

And that’s when the training Norwood had just learned kicked in. “A lot of people started to gather around to see what was happening. I started shouting, ‘Back up. She needs space.’” After pulling Simmons from the car, Norwood checked her vital signs. Unable to detect a pulse (脉搏), she immediately began employing the CPR (心肺复苏) techniques she’d so recently learned on Simmons. Doctors arrived shortly and transported Simmons to the nearest hospital.

Norwood, a junior at St. Petersburg’s Lakewood High School, participates in the school’s Athletic Lifestyle Management Academy (ALMA). “We do vital signs and they learn how to take blood pressure and check pulse rates. We have just about 100 students in our academy,” said Erika Miller, Norwood’s teacher.

Miller noted that most of her former students never have the opportunity to use their CPR training until they become nurses or emergency medical technicians. “Not while they are still a student of mine and definitely not within 24 hours,” she said, adding: “It is what every teacher dreams of, you know, that somebody listens, pays attention, and learns something.”

1. What caused the accident?

A．Three passengers.	B．Another car’s crash.
C．Norwood’s side door.	D．Someone’s front lawn.

2. What can we learn about Simmons?

A．She cried out for help.	B．She was badly injured.
C．She was too scared to move.	D．She climbed out of the front window.

3. What can be inferred about Lakewood High School’s ALMA?

A．It inspires students’ sense of adventure.

B．It hires medical technicians as teachers.

C．It teaches students wilderness survival skills.

D．It prepares students for careers in health science.

4. How did Miller sound in the last paragraph?

A．Worried and angry.	B．Surprised and proud.
C．Confused and anxious.	D．Relieved and grateful.

8 . The cause of the crash of a China Eastern Airlines aircraft on March 21 has yet to be determined, and rumors (谣传) saying that the analysis of the data of the black boxes has been completed and that the co-pilot is responsible are untrue, an official with the China Aviation Administration of China said, CAAC has noticed that rumors about the tragedy (惨剧) being spread in the name of government bodies and public security departments have been recently circulating online.

Besides blaming the co-pilot for the crash and announcing that the analysis of the black boxes has been completed, some rumors have also stated that the administration has issued an urgent directive requiring pilots to take psychological health assessments. These are all untrue, Wu Shijie, deputy director of the administration’s safety office, told a monthly routine news conference on Monday.

“Those rumors have severely misguided the public and interrupted the investigation. Together with the public security departments, we are trying to find out those who are responsible for spreading these rumors, and they will be handled according to the law,” Wu said. “Authorities are still investigating the cause of the crash, so it’s still too early to draw conclusions.”

The Boeing 737 aircraft, which departed from Kunming, Yunnan province, for Guangzhou, Guangdong province, crashed in Tengxian county of the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region on March 21. All 132 people on board died.

It’s undeniable (不可否认的) that the crash has caused pilots and airline staff certain degrees of psychological and emotional impact, Wu said. Some of them, especially young employees, have become stressed and depressed. The administration has attached great importance to their mental health conditions, he said. “We asked the airlines to offer psychological support to airline pilots and staff to ensure they are emotionally stable,” he added.

1. Which can replace the underlined word “directive” in paragraph 2?

A．Appointment.

B．Position.

C．Instruction.

D．Agreement.

2. What is one of the rumors according to the news report?

A．The accident was caused by the engines.

B．The crash was due to the co-pilot’s action.

C．The data of the black boxes has been missing.

D．The analysis of the black boxes is so challenging.

3. Why are pilots provided with psychological support?

A．Some pilots feel stressed and depressed.

B．Some pilots are not so skilled to fly a plane.

C．Some pilots don’t get along well with their colleagues.

D．Some pilots are not satisfied with their working conditions.

4. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A．Cause of airline crash still unknown, authorities say

B．Those responsible for spreading rumors will be handled

C．Boeing 737 aircraft crashes in Tengxian county, authorities say

D．Administration attaches importance to pilots’ mental health conditions

9 . 200,000 miles from Earth, the crew (机组成员) of the third manned mission (飞行任务) to the Moon faced an astronaut’s worst nightmare: an explosion on the spacecraft. It’s what happened in the Oscar-winning film Apollo 13, but it’s also a true story.

The lift-off of Apollo 13 took place on 11th April 1970. Two days into the mission, the three-man crew were in big trouble. They had been carrying out routine checks when there was a loud bang. Warning lights were starting to flash. Looking out into space, they could see a trail of gas — the spacecraft was leaking (漏) oxygen. They sent out a short message to the scientists back on Earth: “Houston, we’ve had a problem here.” At first, they thought that a meteor (流星) had hit them, but they later found out that a short circuit (短路) had caused an oxygen container to explode. Whatever the cause, they knew there was no time to lose. Their electricity supply in the command module (指令舱) depended on that oxygen and pretty soon they would run out of both.

The only solution was to move into the lunar module — the section of the spacecraft that would have landed on the Moon. Now though, they were using it as a kind of lifeboat. With its own power supply, oxygen and water, the three men could survive in the lunar module and return to Earth. There was another problem though. In an enclosed space like a lunar module, the carbon dioxide the crew was breathing out was dangerous. The equipment to clear the air of carbon dioxide was only built for two people. Now it had to deal with three. Amazingly, the crew managed to build an adapter out of materials onboard to reduce the carbon dioxide to a safe level.

There was one final obstacle. The lunar module wasn’t strong enough to reenter Earth’s atmosphere so the crew had to go back into the damaged command module. To everyone’s relief, the crew of Apollo 13 arrived safely in the South Pacific Ocean on April 17th. Although the crew didn’t land on the Moon, NASA still considered the mission a success.

1. What was the astronauts’ first reaction to the explosion?

A．They went out to land on the Moon.

B．They informed scientists on Earth.

C．They moved into the lunar module.

D．They looked into the cause of the explosion.

2. How did the astronauts solve their oxygen situation in the lunar module?

A．By moving back to the command module.

B．By lowering the carbon dioxide level.

C．By creating a new oxygen supply.

D．By limiting the oxygen use.

3. What does the underlined word “obstacle” in the last paragraph mean?

A．Step.

B．Choice.

C．Problem.

D．Solution.

4. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A．A successful mission	B．An amazing adventure
C．Deep space exploration	D．Life and death drama in space
