They inspect all campus buildings and test and maintain all sprinkler(喷水灭火装置) systems, fire alarms, and fire extinguishers(灭火器). They also provide educational programs on fire safety in the residence halls. Whenever you move to a new area, you should locate the fire alarm pull stations and the two exits nearest to your room.‎ Fire Alarms The floors of all campus buildings are equipped with manual(手动的) fire alarm systems which include fire alarm pull stations and pipes. Most are equipped with automatic fire alarm systems consisting of heat detectors, smoke detectors and sprinklers. For your safety, never tamper with(胡乱摆弄) these systems. False fire alarms are illegal and may lead to imprisonment.‎ Fire Drills A fire drill will be conducted in your residence hall every semester. During a fire drill, please do the following:‎ wTake your room key and ID, close and lock the door to your room.‎ wExit immediately from the nearest emergency exit; do not use a lift. ‎ wMeet outside of your residence hall and wait for further instructions.‎ Fire Extinguishers Fire extinguishers are located on each floor and in each apartment. Use a fire extinguisher only if you have been trained to do so. Irresponsible use of a fire extinguisher can create a dangerous situation for other residents and could result in fines.‎ Smoke Detectors A smoke detector is on the ceiling in your room. Some buildings also have heat detectors on the ceilings. Do the following to ensure the safe operation of your smoke detector:‎ wIf your smoke detector is working properly, the red light should be on. If the red light is not blinking(闪动), contact residence hall staff immediately.‎ wDo not cover or block your smoke detector in any way.‎ wIf a smoke detector sets off an alarm and there is no fire or smoke, inform your hall staff.‎ ‎21.

Improper use of them can destroy the apartment.‎ D. Using them without a trainer present is forbidden.‎ B ‎ It was a cold March day in High Point‎, ‎North Carolina. The girls on the Wesleyan‎ ‎Academy softball team were waiting for their next turns at bat during practice stamping their feet to stay warm. Eighth-grader Taylor Bisbee shivered(发抖) a little as she watched her teammate Paris White play. The two didn’t know each other well —— Taylor had just moved to town a month or so before. ‎ ‎ Suddenly, Paris fell to the ground. “Paris’s eyes rolled back,” Taylor says. “She started shaking. I knew it was an emergency.”‎ ‎ It certainly was. Paris had suffered a sudden heart failure. Without immediate medical care, Paris would die. At first, no one moved. The girls were in shock. Then the softball coach shouted out, “Does anyone know CPR?”‎ CPR is a life-saving technique. To do CPR, you press on the sick person’s chest so that blood moves through the body and takes oxygen to organs. Without oxygen, the brain is damaged quickly. ‎ Amazingly, Taylor had just taken a CPR course the day before. Still, she hesitated. She didn’t think she knew it well enough. But when no one else came forward, Taylor ran to Paris and began doing CPR. “It was scary. I knew it was the difference between life and death.” says Taylor.‎ Taylor‎’s swift action helped her teammates calm down. One girl called 911. Two more ran to get the school nurse, who brought a defibrillator, an electronic device(器械) that can shock the heart back into work. Luck stayed with them: Paris’s heartbeat returned.‎ ‎“I know I was really lucky,” Paris says now. “Most people don’t survive this. My team saved my life.”‎ Experts say Paris is right: For a sudden heart failure, the single best chance for survival is having someone nearby step in and do CPR at once. ‎ Today, Paris is back on the softball team. Taylor will apply to college soon. She wants to be a nurse. “I feel more confident in my actions now,” Taylor says, “I know I can act under pressure in a scary situation.”‎ ‎25. What happened to Paris on a March day?‎ ‎ A. She caught a bad cold.‎ B. She had a sudden heart problem.‎ C. She was knocked down by a ball.‎ D. She shivered terribly during practice.‎ ‎26. Why does Paris say she was lucky?‎ ‎ A. She made a worthy friend.‎ B. She recovered from shock.‎ C. She received immediate CPR.‎ D. She came back on the softball team.‎ ‎27. Which of the following words can best describe Taylor?‎ A. Enthusiastic and kind. B. Courageous and calm.‎ C. Cooperative and generous. D. Ambitious and professional.‎ C Our neighbor said the storm lasted four minutes. The town houses are destroyed or damaged. Amazingly, none of us were severely injured.‎ On the day the tornado hit, there was no indication that severe weather was on its way. The first alert my husband, Jimmy, 67, and I, 65, got came around 9 p.m., from some rolling text on the TV Jimmy was watching. He ran upstairs to find me in our third-floor bedroom, and we changed the channel to our local Pensacola‎, ‎Florida, station.‎ No sooner had we found coverage of the tornado than it was on top of us. The bones of the house shook, and the power went out. We had three flights of steps to get to the relatively safe closet down on the first floor.‎ As we reached the last flight of steps, our front door blew out. Suddenly, a three-foot-long tree branch whipped through the doorframe. It flew over our heads, missing us by inches. Had we been one step up, it would have stuck through us.‎ Finally, Jimmy pushed me down to the closet floor, but he couldn’t get inside himself because of the wind. I grasped Jimmy’s arm as the tornado sucked the door open and tried to bring Jimmy with it. My knees and scalp(头皮) were full of glass, but in that moment, I felt no pain. If I had let go, Jimmy would have flown right out the back of the house and into the bay.‎ All of a sudden, Jimmy lifted off his feet like people in tornadoes do in the movies. I thought he was gone. And then everything stopped. He landed on his feet. In those first quiet moments, I couldn’t believe it was over.‎ ‎28．How was the old couple aware of the tornado?‎ A．They learned it from their neighbors who passed their house.‎ B．They learned it from some common indications before a tornado.‎ C．They found the news report forecasting the tornado on TV.‎ D．They found the tornado on top of them when they were upstairs.‎ ‎29．We can infer from paragraph4 that ____________‎ A．The old couple was very grateful to the branch.‎ B．The old couple missed the branch very much.‎ C．The old couple was hit by the branch on the head.‎ D．The old couple was fortunate to have a narrow escape.‎ ‎30．Why did the old woman feel no pain in paragraph5?‎ A．Because she was worried about her husband.‎ B．Because she was brave enough to bear the pain.‎ C．Because she didn’t actually feel any pain.‎ D．Because she had a good husband to comfort her.‎ ‎31．The passage is most probably taken from _______.‎ A．a brochure B．a novel C．newspaper D．a magazine D Have you ever heard someone say, “you totally look like you’re a Jessica” or something similar? People seem to think that they know what kind of person a “Jessica” or a “Michael” looks like. Why is this?‎ According to a study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, humans tend to associate people’s names with their appearance, and can even guess someone’s name based on how they look.‎ Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel, collected thousands of photos of people’s faces. They labeled each photo with four names. Then, they asked volunteers to guess which of the four names was correct.‎ The volunteers were able to guess the right name 38 percent of the time. It seems that certain characteristics of faces give them clues about someone’s name, Reader’s Digest reported.‎ However, this only worked when the volunteers looked at names from their own culture. In addition, the volunteers were not as good at guessing the real names of people who used nicknames more often than their real names. This may show that a person’s appearance is affected by their name only if they use it often.‎ This kind of face-name matching happens “because of a process of self-fulfilling prophecy (自我实现预言), as we become what other people expect us to become.” Ruth Mayo from the university told science news website EurekAlert.‎ Earlier studies have shown that gender and race stereotypes (刻板印象) can affect a person’s appearance. The researchers believe there are also similar stereotypes about names. For example, people tend to think that men named Bob should have rounder faces because the word itself looks round. People may think that women named Rose are beautiful. They expect them to be “delicate” and “feminine(女性的)”, just like the flower they are named for.‎ ‎32．What was the purpose of the study?‎ A. To find out today’s most popular English names.‎ B. To learn how names influence personality.‎ C. To find out whether names relate to their looks.‎ D. To show how men’s names are different from women’s.‎ ‎33．What can we infer from the study?‎ A. Volunteers found it easier to guess nicknames correctly.‎ B. Names may have different associations in different cultures.‎ C. Volunteers could guess the characteristics of those people.‎ D. The people in the photos and volunteers were from the same country.‎ ‎34．According to Ruth Mayo, why do some people look like their names?‎ A. They tend to become what others expect them to become.‎ B. They want to please everyone around them.‎ C. They don’t want to be different from others.‎ D. They like to copy famous people who share the same name.‎ ‎35．What point does the last paragraph want to explain?‎ A. Earlier studies about stereotypes are limited.‎ B. Stereotypes about names can bring good results.‎ C. Stereotypes about names can affect people’s looks.‎ D. It’s not always bad to be influenced by the expectations of others.‎ 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。‎ Four Habits to Help You Succeed Nobody would like to experience failure. We all want to succeed. For those who have tried and failed, success seems difficult to understand. 36．‎ ‎• Know your values.‎ Finding your values is in line with creating motivation. 37． Pick a handful of things and write them down. Remind yourself of your values every day and reflect on whether you are honoring those values through your work.‎ ‎• 38．‎ Choose one goal to start something large enough that will give you a sense of achievement, while adjusting well to your values.
