9、 their neighborhood when a police car appeared behind them. Deputy Will Kimbro figured that the speeding driver was either too distracted to notice him or unconcerned. Kimbro soon found out it was a frightening combination of the two. Once shed pulled over, Kemira handed the baby to Kimbro. He put a

10、 hand on her little chest. Ryleighs heart was barely beating. Kimbro radioed for an ambulance. At that time Ryleighs lips were already blue.The fact that Kimbro was there was a miracle. He had recently completed a CPR（心肺复苏）class and knew how to treat a child. Although I was shocked, my training kick

11、ed in, and I went to work to keep that child alive, said Kimbro. Then he began tapping（轻拍）Ryleighs chest, hoping to press her heart back into action. Thanks to the CPR class, Kimbro knew the choking child didnt have a chance if there was a blockage, and he used one finger to clear her airway（气道）. Th

12、at was a magic touch. 20 seconds later, Ryleigh began to cry. If shes crying like that, shes breathing, said Kimbro.But they still had five more minutes until the ambulance would arrive, and Kimbro worried that Ryleigh would choke again. He continued with delicate chest compression and clearing her

16、s old to more than 150 minutes at 3 years old, according to an analysis by researchers at the National Institutes of Health. Children aged 7 were more likely to spend the highest amount of screen time if they had been in bad home-based childcare or were born to first-time mothersOur results indicate

17、 that screen habits begin early, said Edwina Yeung, an investigator in National Institute of Child Health and Human Development（NICHD）, This finding suggests that interventions to reduce screen time could have a better chance of success if introduced early.”In the research, mothers of 4,000 children

18、 responded to questions on their kids media habits when they were 12, 18, 24, 30, and 36 months of age. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends avoiding digital media exposure for children under 18 months of age, introducing children 18 to 24 months of age to screen media slowly, and limiting

19、screen time to an hour a day for children from 2 to 5 years of age. In the current study, researchers found that 87% of the children had screen time exceeding（超过）these recommendations. However, while screen time increased throughout infancy（幼儿期）, after 8 years of age, screen time fell to under 1. 5

20、hours per day. The researchers believe this decrease relates to time consumed by school-related activities. The study authors classified the children into two groups based on how much their aver- age daily screen time increased from age 1 to age 3. The first group, 73% of the total, had the lower in

21、crease, from an average of nearly 51 minutes a day to nearly an hour and 47 minutes a day.

DIn times of stress, particularly when the water gets too warm, the coral（珊瑚）erupts the algae（海藻）, and the coral turns white, causing a state called coral bleaching（漂白）. Just a few degrees of heat can lead to cora

25、l bleaching, putting the coral on a path to starvation and death. Driven by climate change, marine heat waves are becoming one of the greatest threats to the existence of coral, which is important to the ocean ecology. But in some rare good news researchers have discovered coral can recover from ble

26、aching even before a heat wave ends, suggesting it has the potential to survive long heat waves. Coral was thought to survive only if a heat wave lasted just a few weeks. But no one had studied this process during a longer heat wave. Then in 2015, Julia Baum, a marine ecologist at the University of

27、Victoria, began a survey of two common species: brain and star coral around Kiritimati in the central Pacific Ocean. They checked the condition of the coral as the heat wave struck and disappeared. Starting in May 2015, the temperature rose about 1 within 2 months. As expected, coral that housed hea

28、t-sensitive algae bleached sooner than those housing the heat-tolerant kind of algae. As the water continued to warm, even heat-tolerant algae erupted. Many brain and star coral on Kiritimati recovered from bleaching while the water was still unusually warm. Baum said, The unexpected recovery provid

29、es new hope, because it means that even under lasting heat waves, theres a path forward for some of them.An unusual feature of the recovery is that brain coral that started out with heat-sensitive algae had a higher survival rate（82%）than coral that began with heat-tolerant algae（25%）. That finding

30、is surprising, said Baum, expecting that heat-tolerant algae would be better suited for helping coral survive a heat wave. But during a longer heat wave, it might be more advantageous to start with a heat-sensitive algae. （ ）32. What results in coral bleaching?A. The white algae. B. The corals death

31、. C. An attack of waves. D. A rise in ocean temperature. （ ）33. Why did Baum begin the survey?A. To prove that coral can stop climate change. B. To study how coral bleaching comes about. C. To figure out whether coral survives long heat wavesD. To explain why coral bleaching is a big threat to coral

32、（ ）34. How did Baum feel about the finding?A. Ashamed. B. Confused C. Worried. D. Astonished. （ ）35. What can the finding be used to do?A. Protect the ocean environment. B. Reduce coral bleaching. C. Grow more different algae. D. Regulate the heat wave. 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

73、ular among us teenagers. Last week, a class meeting titled Opinions about adoring a star was held in our class. There is no doubt that there are d erent vo ces. or some, pay ng much attention to a star is a waste of time. Whats worse, blind love may cause improper behaviors. For others, the reason why they adore a star is that idols could encourage them to be better. In my view, the real idols are those who make contributions to our society, such as teachers, doctors and scientists. As students, we should learn from them. Only in this way can we become a useful person in the future.
