Ⅳ. Reading Comprehension (75 points)
Directions: There are five reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the answer sheet.
Passage One
Early in November 1965, New York was blacked out by an electricity failure (停电). The Mayor promised that it would not happen again. Pessimists (悲观主义者) were certain that it would happen again within five years. In July 1977, there was a repeat performance which produced a serious disorder throughout the city. At that time the city was in one of its worst heat waves.
In 1965, there was little crime during the darkness, and fewer than a hundred people were arrested. In 1977, hundreds of stores were broken into and looted (劫掠). Nearly 4,000 people were arrested but far more disappeared into the darkness of the night. The number of policeman available was far from enough and some looters even carry guns.
Hospitals had to treat hundreds of people cut by glass from shop windows. Banks and most business remained closed the next day. The blackout started at 9:30 P.M., when lightning hit and knocked out supply cables. Many stores were thus caught by surprise. For twenty-four hours, New York realized how helpless it was without electricity.
31. According to the first paragraph, who were right: the authorities or the pessimists？
A. The authorities.
B. The pessimists.
C. Both.
D. Neither.
First aid(急救) is the care given to the injured or sick person as soon as possible after an accident or illness. It is this immediate care and attention before the arrival of the ambulance(救护车) that sometimes means the difference between life and death, or a full or partial recovery.
First aid has limitations, as not everybody is a doctor or expert, but it is a key element of the total medical system.
The principle to be adopted in first aid is immediate action. By-standers(旁观者) or relatives not knowing what to do, or being too fearful to try, have unwisely contributed or unnecessary deaths and worth injuries.
It is important that any action taken by the first aid provider is started as quickly as possible. Quick action is necessary to save life and parts of the body. One who is not breathing effectively, or is bleeding(流血) heavily, requires immediate help. If quick effective first aid is provided, then they have a much better chance of a good recovery.
But it should be remembered that any action taken is to be most careful, and fright(恐慌) by the first aid provider and by standers will not be good to the whole thing. Try to remain calm and think your action through. A calm and controlled first aider will give everyone confidence that the event is being handled efficiently and effectively.
The writer seems to suggest that if you don't know much about first aid, you should ______.
A．call for help from professionals
B．still try to help
C．stand by and not try to help
D．learn it from a doctor
