Doctors in hospital emergency rooms often see accidental poisonings(中毒). A frightened parent arrives with a child who swallowed a cleaning liquid. Or perhaps the harmful substance is a medicine. Or it might be a chemical product meant to kill insects. These are common causes of accidental poisoning.

In cases like this, look for medical help as soon as possible. Save the container of whatever caused the poisoning. And look on the container for information about anything that stops the effects of the poison. Save anything expelled (被強(qiáng)迫排除) from the mouth of the victim. That way, doctors can examine it.

In the past, some people forced poisoning victims to empty the stomach. They used a liquid syrup of ipecac (催嘔劑) to do this. But an organization of children’s doctors no longer advises parents to keep syrup of ipecac. The American Academy of Pediatrics says some poisons can cause additional damage when they come back up the throat.

Millions of people know a way to save a person who is choking on something trapped in the throat. The method is commonly known as the Heimlich Maneuver or abdominal thrusts. The American Red Cross says a rescuer should first hit the person on the back five times between the shoulder bones. These back blows may ease the choking. If the airway is still blocked, the Red Cross suggests pushing hard five times along the victim’s abdomen. The abdomen is the area between the chest and the hip (臀) bones.

1.Save the container of whatever caused the poisoning to ________.

A. look for harmful information

B. look on it

C. use it to break the poison

D. look for medical help

2.Why are parents advised not to keep syrup of ipecac?

A. To keep the stomach empty.

B. To avoid more damage.

C. To keep syrup of ipecac safe.

D. To keep the stomach full.

3.The purpose of the last paragraph is to tell us about ________.

A. a way to prevent a person from choking

B. the abdominal thrusts

C. a way to cure choking

D. the abdomen

4.What would be the best title for the text?

A. Learning the basics of first aid

B. Accidental poisonings

C. Common causes of accidental poisoning

D. Poisonings and first aid

Modern inventions have speeded up people’s loves amazingly. Motor-cars cover a hundred miles in little more than an hour, aircraft cross the world inside a day, while computers operate at lightning speed. Indeed, this love of speed seems never-ending. Every year motor-cars are produced which go even faster and each new computer boats (吹噓) of saving precious seconds in handling tasks.

All this saves time, but at a price. When we lose or gain half a day in speeding across the world in an airplane, our bodies tell us so. We get the uncomfortable feeling known as jet-lag; our bodies feel that they have been left behind on another time zone. Again, spending too long at computers results in painful wrists and fingers. Mobile phones also have their dangers, according to some scientist; too much use may transmit harmful radiation into our brains, a consequence we do not like to think about.

However, what do we do with the time we have saved? Certainly not relax, or so it seems. We are so accustomed constant activity that we find it difficult to sit and do nothing or even just one thing at a time. Perhaps the days are long gone when we might listen quietly to a story on the radio, letting imagination take us into another world.

There was a time when some people’s lives were devoted simply to the cultivation of the land or the care of cattle. No multi-tasking there; their lives went on at a much gentler pace, and in a familiar pattern. There is much that we might envy about a way of life like this. Yet before we do so, we must think of the hard tasks our ancestor faced: they farmed with bare hands, often lived close to hunger, and had to fashion tools from wood and stone. Modern machinery has freed people from that primitive existence.

1.The new products become more and more time-saving because ________.

A. our love of speed seems never-ending

B. time is limited

C. the prices are increasingly high

D. the manufactures boast a lot

2.What does “the days” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A. Imaginary life.

B. Simple life in the past.

C. Times of inventions.

D. Time for constant activity.

3.What is the author’s attitude towards the modern technology?

A. Critical B. Objective.

C. Optimistic. D. Negative.

4.What does the passage mainly discuss?

A. The present and past times.

B. Machinery and human beings.

C. Imaginations and inventions.

D. Modern technology and its influence.

March 21 has been declared World Sleep Day, a time to recognize and celebrate the value of sleep. Many sleep experts hope it will be a wake-up call.

According to a poll (民意調(diào)查)by the National Sleep Foundation, nearly 4 in 5 Americans don’t get as much sleep as they should during the workweek. On average, adults are thought to need at least eight hours of sleep a night, although some can manage with less and some won’t do well without more. But the survey found that, on workdays, only 21% of Americans actually get a full eight hours of sleep, and another 21% get less than six.

To many of us, the thought of spending more time sleeping is, well, a big yawn. On the other hand, the thought of being smarter, thinner, healthier and more cheerful has a certain appeal. And those are just a few of the advantages that can be ours if we consistently get enough sleep, researchers say. Also on the plus side: We’re likely to have better skin, better memories, better judgment, and, oh, yes, longer lives.

“When you lose even one hour of sleep for any reason, it influences your performance the next day,” says Dr. Alon Avidan, director of the UCLA Sleep Disorders Center.

A study published last year found the same to be true even of children. When kids aged 8 to 12 slept for just one hour less for four nights, they didn’t function as well during the day.

But sleeping has an image problem. “We see napping or sleeping as lazy,” says Jennifer Vriend, a clinical psychologist in Ottawa, Canada, and the leading author of the study with children. “We put so much emphasis on diet, nutrition and exercise. Sleep is in the back seat.” In fact, she adds, no matter how much we work out, no matter how well we eat, we can’t be in top physical shape unless we also get plenty of sleep.

1.The underlined part in Paragraph 1 means _____.

A.to wake up the sleepers

B.to serve as a morning call

C.to draw people’s attention

D.to declare the special day

2.From Paragraph 3 we can infer that _______.

A.being healthier is one of the advantages for us

B.enough sleep is the guarantee of the appealing things

C.sleeping has nothing to do with one’s expectations

D.spending more time on sleeping is a waste of time

3.What Jennifer Vriend said in the last paragraph implies that _______.

A.people care little about sleeping

B.sleeping is an image problem

C.lazy people tend to sleep long

D.sleeping is only part of our life

4.What is the purpose of the passage?

A.to talk about people’s sleeping problems.

B.to provide an investigation result of sleeping.

C.to stress the function of sleeping at night.

D.to arouse the awareness of enough sleeping.

科目：高中英語 來源：2017屆河南洛陽一中高三上期周練英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

In the Middle Ages in Europe, theater was an important part of civic, economic and religious life. During this period after the fall of Roman civilization, many cities were destroyed. Southern and Western Europe, famous for its agriculture, became increasingly more agricultural. After several hundred years, many towns appeared again. The Roman Catholic Church took over religion, education and politics. What remained of theater was mostly on the Greek and Roman performing arts.

Theater was reborn as liturgical（禮拜式的）dramas. It was written in Latin and dealing with biblical（圣經(jīng)）stories which would be performed by church members. Then there came local dramas spoken in common language not Latin. They were more wonderful one-act dramas taking place in town squares or other parts of the city. There were three types of local dramas. Mystery or cycle plays were short dramas based on biblical stories organized into historical cycles. Miracle plays dealt with the lives of the great. Morality（道德的）plays taught a lesson through characters standing for good or bad qualities. Secular plays in this period existed, but religious drama in the Middle Ages is mostly remembered today. As the Middle Ages ended, the number of religious theatres became small as the church weakened and more secular qualities won over religious theaters.

1.According to the passage, what does "secular plays" mean here?

A. Plays that deal with the lives of the great.

B. Plays that taught a lesson.

C. Plays based on biblical stories.

D. Plays that are not connected with the church.

2.Why did religious theatres become less important as the Middle Ages came to an end?

A. People were not interested in them any longer.

B. The church was not as important as what it had been.

C. People liked new plays.

D. The stories of religious theatres were outdated.

3.According to the passage, why did religious theatres take over in the Middle Ages?

A. People preferred religious theatres to other ones.

B. There were no other types of theatres.

C. The church played an important part in people’s life.

D. The quality of religious theatres was better than that of other theatres.

4.What would be the best title for the passage?

A. European dramas

B. Religious dramas

C. Religious theatres in the Middle Ages

D. Secular dramas in the Middle Ages
