Acquiring Skills with First Aid Onsite
Every year, Cardiac arrest (心脏骤停) results in 544,000 sudden deaths. However, fewer than 1%
of bystanders are capable of performing first aid. Therefore, First Aid Onsite is launching a series of
training programs to promote the public’s first aid skills.
Training content
The training covers essential first-aid skills like Automated External Defibrillator (AED, 自动体
外除颤仪) use, choking handling and bleeding control. The courses also stress safety, teamwork, and
volunteer spirits. Instructed by medical specialists from emergency institutions, the courses combine
theory and practical training.
Training method
Our programs encourage team-based learning and employ advanced techniques like simulation
(仿真) training. After the theoretical learning, there will be hands-on activities to boost the quality and
effectiveness of operational skills. Modern technologies such as simulation models, virtual reality, and
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR, 心肺复苏术) devices will be applied.
Assessment and evaluation
The time spent on the training, typically two full days, must be sufficient to ensure the trainees
perform CPR and deal with wounds properly. After the basic training, the trainees should pass a
theoretical examination and a practical skill assessment with a human-patient simulator to earn a

Zhai Yuliang becomes extra busy whenever the holidays are around the corner. The Beijinger, in
his 60s, has just finished a pair of palace lanterns for a courtyard home in the capital.
“The owner wants every part of them to be done in the old-fashioned way, so that they will fit
perfectly with the grand style of their historical house.” says Zhai, who has practiced the craft for more
than four decades. One of the most popular styles, which is also Zhai’s favorite, is the double-layered
octagonal (八角形的 ) palace lantern. It’s full of Chinese elements, and features dragon heads and
many other specific patterns.
However, he stresses the essential elements to be classified as palace lanterns — hand-painted
scenes and Chinese knots as decoration. Most importantly, they must be created using the specific
techniques, which require over 100 steps.
To make a palace lantern, a single craftsman had to do everything from the woodwork to the
painting. “It takes months to make a palace lantern,” Zhai says. “It requires the skills of a woodworker,
the knowledge of a mechanic, an appreciation of classical architecture, poetry, painting and an
additional talent for mortise-and-tenon joints (榫卯) by hand before they can create the right carvings
and layer combinations.
Zhai has received many invitations from communities and institutes to show the charm of palace
lanterns. He particularly enjoys hosting workshops where he teaches people to make lanterns
themselves. He is enchanted to see the smiles of children and the expressions of adults when they
complete their works under his guidance.
He believes his lifelong devotion to this craft has been worthwhile. His lanterns can be seen in
such locations as the Tian’anmen Square and many overseas sites that promote friendship with China.
“Wherever you are, when you see a palace lantern, you know there’s a connection to China,” Zhai
says.
24. What is a must of a palace lantern
A. A dragon head in grand style. B. Application of over 100 techniques.
C. A double-layered octagonal pattern. D. Hand-painted scenes and Chinese knots.

Are you chillaxed enough Recently, having a sense of ease seems to have become one of the
most important qualities that a person should have to be seen as successful and attractive.
The discussion arose from a previous incident. A family’s luggage (行李 ) was rejected for
shipment, but they continued their journey like nothing bad had happened. A girl witnessed their calm
attitude in difficult circumstances and shared the story online. She described their attitude as being
chillaxed, meaning to stay calm in the face of barriers. With the phrase gaining more attention, an
increasing number of people have shared their chillaxed lives online.
In psychology, maintaining a sense of ease is similar to “psychological resilience”, which refers
to the ability to effectively adjust and adapt to tough situations, particularly by being mentally,
emotionally and behaviorally flexible to pressure. It stresses a drive for success, steadily advancing
toward a goal, and being prepared to accept any outcome without complaining.
In both work and study, many people get anxious or even collapse when faced with short-term
bottlenecks. Therefore, they hurriedly seek immediate changes, which in most cases prevents them
from achieving the desired result. Rather than going after immediate outcomes, it’s more significant to
maintain steady, gradual progress and adopt a long-term mindset.
Interestingly, as the Internet becomes filled with hashtags (标签 ) like “only those who are
chillaxed are attractive”, many people are beginning to feel anxious because they don’t fit that
description. Still, it’s important to note that while a state of ease may be favorable, there’s nothing
wrong with not being chillaxed. Indeed, many people achieve their goals by pushing themselves to
their limits, though feeling frustrated at pressure from time to time. But as long as you are fighting for
your ideal life, you’re definitely someone who’s appealing and respectable no matter whether you’re
chillaxed or not.
28. Why is the family’s experience mentioned in the passage
A. To present the origin of the word “chillaxed”.
B. To show the family’s ability to stay chillaxed.
C. To highlight the importance of being chillaxed.
D. To argue against the rejection of luggage shipment.
29. What’s highlighted in psychological resilience
A. Quick forgetting of challenges. B. Dependence on external factors.
C. Flexibility and steady progress. D. Seeking quick fixes to problems.

30. What’s the author’s attitude towards being chillaxed
A. Favorable. B. Objective. C. Dismissive. D. Unclear.
31. Which of the following is the best title for the passage
A. Pros and Cons of Being Chillaxed
B. Remaining Chillaxed Helps to Settle Conflicts
C. A Chillaxed Attitude: Shortcut Towards Success
D. Being Chillaxed: The Art of Psychological Strength

Imagine being able to grow tiny, simplified versions of human organs in a lab. This is not a
science fiction; it’s the reality of organoids that is inspiring the imagination of researchers and the
public. These lab-grown models of human organs are a significant leap forward in our abilities to
understand and fight against diseases.
Organoids are “grown” from human stem cells (干细胞) in external 3-dimensional environment
with the potential to develop into many different types of cells in the body. The creation of organoids
typically begins with adult cells that have been reprogrammed to an embryonic (胚胎的) stem cell-like
state. Researchers then expose these cells to specific growth factors and place them in nutrient-rich
environment, a comfortable home for the cells to grow in. Over time, scientists can direct these stem
cells to form organoids that are similar specific organs, such as brain, lung, or even parts of heart.
The future for organoids is filled with vast promise. One of the most significant applications lies
in their capacity to model diseases. By using stem cells from patients, researchers can generate
organoids that carry the genetic characteristics of specific diseases. This enables the study of diseases
and offers potential treatments in a personalized manner. It provides a more accurate reproduction of
human organs, which is crucial for studying diseases and developing personalized treatments. It’s like
having a spare part grown just for you! Moreover, they can be used to test new medicines without
having animals or people subjects involved.
As organoids become increasingly complex and start to look more like real organs, concerns
about their status and the potential for misuse arise. There is a risk that organoids could be applied for
illegal purpose. Since organoids can be made from a person’s cells, it’s also important that the person’s
privacy should be kept safe. Scientists and ethicists (伦理学家 ) are cooperating to establish ethical
rules that govern the use of organoids, ensuring the use of organoids is responsible and consistent to
strict ethical guidelines.
32. What is an organoid
A. It is a scene from a science fiction. B. It is a tool for stimulating imagination.
C. It is a copy version of a human organ. D. It is external 3-dimensional environment.
33. What’s the second paragraph mainly about
A. The process of reproducing organoids.
B. The reasons to do research on organoids.
C. The potential of organoids for medical research.
D. The introduction to organoids’ growing environment.

34. What make organoids promising for medical research
A. Simplifying a human organ’s complexity.
B. Transforming the mechanisms of the diseases.
C. Offering particular treatments for different patients.
D. Performing accurate research on animals and people.
35. How can people prevent the misuse of organoids
A. By sticking strictly to ethical principles.
B. By increasing the complexity of organoids.
C. By expanding the ethical impact of organoids.
D. By popularizing the use of organoids in research.

People refusing to learn a second language are shortsighted and are losing an opportunity for
development. Popular motivations for learning a language are usually related to tourism, career
advancement, doing business and so on. 36
Learning a language is a lot like solving a puzzle. You have to figure out the rules and how the
words are structured differently. You’re not only picking up words and phrases, but also learning a new
way of organizing your thoughts. 37 Gradually, you will become better at thinking things
through and finding solutions to problems.
When you learn a language, you’re not just memorizing vocabulary. You’re challenging your
brain to recognize patterns, remember rules, and apply them in various contexts. 38 This
constant mental exercise of mind may contribute to a tougher brain, keeping your mind sharp and
delaying decline of cognitive (认知的) ability and other memory loss.
39 Language helps you appreciate the perspective of a different culture. Nelson Mandela
once said, “If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him
in his language, that goes to his heart.” Talking to a person in their own language helps you
comprehend their experience more thoroughly and put yourself in their shoes in a way that wouldn’t
otherwise be possible.
In short, the adventure of mastering a second language is far more rewarding than one might
initially realize and goes beyond what meets the eyes. It’s a vital means to perceive a wider world and
appreciate diversity. 40 Let’s all embrace (拥抱) the exciting challenge and unlock a world
of new opportunities, insights, and connections.
A. It’s like a workout for your brain.
B. In fact, it requires more than only translating.
C. A language’s worth, though, goes well beyond those.
D. This can lead to a more flexible and creative mindset.
E. So, for whatever reasons, give a second language a try.
F. Learning its language is the best way to grasp a culture.
G. Besides, there’s much more to gain than just a self-understanding.

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。
One winter, it snowed heavily. The snowbanks grew higher and higher, forming towering walls
along the sidewalks and roads and making it difficult to travel. Neighbors worked tirelessly to clear the
snow in the public area when the snow stopped, ensuring convenient travel and safe transportation.
Leo and his friends all lived on the same street. They were all big guys who shouldered the
responsibility of clearing the snow of the yard of their own house. Then after cleaning the snowbanks,
they’d meet on the sidewalk daily and walk towards the court, where they’d spend the afternoon
playing basketball.
On the way to the court, Leo always noticed that of all the houses on the block, there was one
standing out, with a yard covered with thick snow the whole winter. Leo knew that an old lady Mrs.
Brown lived there alone, who was too old to do the back-breaking pared with neighboring
houses with clean yards, that house looked so lonely and inharmonious.
Until one day, snow began to melt (融化 ) and the trees were coming into leaf just in time for
spring. Leo couldn’t help but stare at his neighbor’s messy yard when they walked to the court. The
melted snow showed some buried leaves, fallen branches, and other litter.
“I will clean the yard,” Leo said. His friends were surprised upon hearing this, “Are you serious
Are you going to clean a yard that isn’t even yours instead of playing basketball with us ” one of them
asked.
“This house also belongs to our neighborhood. I’ll finish very soon and catch up with you all
later,” Leo insisted. After waving them goodbye, he quickly rushed home to fetch the tools he needed
— a shovel (铲子), and a dustpan.
Leo came back to the yard, and set about to do the clearing job.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为 150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卷的相应位置作答。
He was shoveling the snow when his friends appeared one by one.
Very soon, with joint efforts, the yard took on a new look.
