Lisa was running late.Lisa,25,had a lot to do at work,plus visitors on the way:her parents were coming in for Thanksgiving from her hometown.But as she hurried down the subway stairs,she started to feel uncomfortably warm.By the time she got to the platform,Lisa felt weak and tired—maybe it hadn′t been a good idea to give blood the night before,she thought.She rested herself against a post close to the tracks.Several yards away,Frank,43,and his girlfriend,Jennifer,found a spot close to where the front of the.train would stop.They were deep in discussion about a house they were thinking of buying.But when he heard the scream,followed by someone yelling,"Oh,my God,she fell in!"Frank didn′t hesitate.He jumped down to the tracks and ran some 40 feet toward the body lying on the rails."No!Not you!"his girlfriend screamed after him.She was right to be alarmed.By the time Frank reached Lisa,he could feel the tracks shaking and see the light coming.The train was about 20 seconds from the station.It was hard to lift her.She was just out.But he managed to raise her the four feet to the platform so that bystanders could hold her by the arms and drag her away from the edge.That was where Lisa briefly regained consciousness,felt herself being pulled along the ground,and saw someone else holding her purse.Lisa thought she′d been robbed.A woman held her hand and a man gave his shirt to help stop the blood pouring from her head.And she tried to talk but she couldn′t,and that was when she realized how much pain she was in.Police and fire officials soon arrived,and Frank told the story to an officer.Jennifer said her boyfriend was calm on their 40-minute train ride downtown—just as he had been seconds after the rescue,which made her think about her reaction at the time."I saw the train coming and I was thinking he was going to die,"she explained.How did Frank save Lisa?A.By lifting her to the platform.B.By helping her rise to her feet.C.By pulling her along the ground.D.By dragging her away from the edge.
问答题In this section, there is one passage followed by a summary. For Questions 1 to 5, please read the passage carefully and complete each space in the summary using a maximum of three words from the passage. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet. Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.Acupuncture—it worked for me Pam, 25, woke up one Monday morning with an incredibly painful arm and shoulder. “I hadn’t done anything to it, I just must have slept awkwardly,” she says. “I couldn’t move it more than four inches up or to the side.” Her doctor suggested it might be fluid on the bone and gave her anti-inflammatory tablets and pain-killers. He said if the pain did not go away she would probably need injections into the joint and physiotherapy. Pam says, “The pain-killers were so strong that they made me dozy and sick, so I stopped taking them. By Friday morning I had a severe headache, the shoulder pain and a feeling like a really bad hangover. A neighbour happened to be anacupuncturist and I went to ask advice. I wasn’t happy with the idea of injections when my doctor wasn’t even sure what the problem was.” The acupuncturist treated Pam immediately. “She put a needle in my shin. I didn’t look—I was afraid. I felt a small prick. She asked me to move my arm and I couldn’t. She twisted the needle and I felt a dull ache, and suddenly I could move my arm. The pain just completely went away,” says Pam. The acupuncturist then inserted needles between Pam’s thumb and forefinger and in the bend of her elbow, and connected them to an electrical box to provide pulsating stimulation. Pam has had no problems since “I would recommend it to anyone,” she says.Summary： One Monday morning, Pam 1 in her arm and shoulder because she had slept awkwardly. Although her doctor 2 what the problem was, he suggested that she would need 3 if the pain didn’t go away. However, Pam was not happy because the pain-killers the doctor gave her made her 4 . Then, she went to an acupuncturist 5 . The acupuncturist treated her differently from the doctor. Pam hasn’t had any pain in her arm and shoulder since the treatment.
