6．If you are still choking after six tries，you should ________.
A．keep a sense of humor
B．call 911 and leave the line open
C．use your hand or clean cotton
D．lie down with your hands behind your neck
解析：细节理解题。由Choking部分中的内容可知在六次尝试之后，还不起作用就要拨打911；leave the line open。
答案：B
Besides calling 911，here is what to do in some lifethreatening emergencies when no one is around to help.
该句使用了倒装句式，what to do...是主语，其中when引导的从句在句中作时间状语。
句意：除了给911打电话，下面告诉你在威胁生命的紧急情况下而周围又没人帮你，你该如何去做。
语篇解读：本文介绍了在几种紧急情况下的自我救护的方法。

(2011·合肥模拟)Besides calling 911，here is what to do in some lifethreatening emergencies when no one is around to help.
Lost in the wilderness
First，you've got to acknowledge you're in trouble.Stay where you can be seen clearly and remember to rest.Keeping a sense of humor helps too-it reduces stress and helps creative thinking.In a wide open area，make a colorful cross out of rocks to show your present position.
Choking
Aim to hit the top of the chair against your stomach，in the soft part below the bony upsidedown V of the ribs (肋骨)．Make a sudden push against the chair.If you still can't breathe after six tries，call 911，even if you can't talk.Write the word choking somewhere nearby，and leave the line open until help arrives.
Severe bleeding
Use your hand or clean cotton，or paper towels，or a scarf，or any cloth you can find，and push down on the wound until the bleeding stops.But if you put a band around your leg tightly，you're going to close the vessels (血管) to the entire leg.In this way，you could lose your foot.
Bear attack
If you surprise a bear，don't run away.That invites an attack.Instead，stand up and back away slowly，without looking the bear in the eyes.If it does charge (猛冲) at you，stick out your chest，raise your arms，and spread your legs.Shout at the bear，to frighten it.If it's going to attack，lie facedown，with your hands held firmly behind your neck.Play dead until you're sure the bear is gone.
3．Which question is NOT answered in the interview?
A．How does she think of her mother's language?
B．How many books does she plan to write?
C．When did she visit China?
D．How is generation gap created?
解析：细节理解题。“她计划写几本书？”这个问题在文中找不到答案，其他三项文中均有涉及。
2．What's TRUE about Tan's second book?
A．It's about her real life in America.
B．The name of the book is The Joy Luck Club.
C．It is the result of many times of careful thought.
D．It includes many works of her mother.
解析：细节判断题。根据文中的it took me six or seven attempts at a second novel before I started and completed this one可知，Tan在完成这部书的写作之前曾经历过六、七次尝试，说明这本书是她经过多次深思熟虑的产物。
That's because it took me six or seven attempts at a second novel before I started and completed this one.
because引导表语从句，before在句中意为“……才……”。
句意：那是因为写第二本小说之前我尝试了六七次，才得以开始并且完成。
语篇解读：这是一篇人物访谈纪实。通读这篇访谈录，我们可以了解华裔美国作家Ms Tan创作第二部作品的经历。
1．Based on the questions in this interview，what do you think Ms Tan's profession is?
A．A journalist. B．A storywriter.
C．An interviewer. D．An interviewee.
解析： 推理判断题。根据文中的“your new novel，a second novel”等关键词及访谈内容可知，Ms Tan是一名小说家。C、D两项有一定的干扰性，注意题干中问的是“profession(职业)”。
