Last week, the nurse talked to the students about stopping bleeding. This is part of what he said.“When we cut ourselves we usually bleed. This is because out bodies are full of blood vessels, which carry blood to and from the heart. It doesn’t matter if we lose a little blood from time to time. In fact, many people donate blood to hospitals. We can give at least a pint of blood without harming ourselves. We mustn’t lose too much blood, however, so we need to know how to stop bleeding when it occurs.”“If the injury is small and the amount of blood coming from it is also small, we can usually stop the blood from flowing by pressing on the cut with a clean, cold cloth that has a little antiseptic on it. It is most important to use antiseptic. If you do not, then any dirt or bacteria that get into the wound may cause an infection.”“If the injury is large and the amount of blood coming from it also large, then it is necessary to stop the blood flowing through the blood vessel. We do this by putting pressure on the vessel above the injury. We can either press on it with our fingers or, preferably, put on a tourniquet, which is a piece of cloth tied tightly around the arm, leg or finger.”46. What is the main idea of this passage?A. A nurse visited Tom’ s school to tell the students how to donate blood.B. The nurse helps people who suddenly become ill at school.C. A nurse visited Tom’s school and t o1d the students how to stop bleeding.D. The students at Tom’s school learned about their bodies.47. What is one of the things the nurse teaches the student?A. How to help people who have been ill for a long time.B. How to help people who suddenly become ill.C. How blood is taken to a hospital.D. Why it doesn’t hurt to donate blood.48. What do blood vessels do?A. Make us lose only a little blood.B. Stop us from harming ourselves.C. Stop us from bleeding too much.D. Carry blood to and from the heart.49. How can the bleeding from a small cut be stopped?A.By putting a bandage (绷带) on the cut.B.By pressing antiseptic into the wound.C.By pressing on the cut with a clean, cold, wet cloth.D.By putting pressure on the blood vessel above.50. How can the bleeding from a large cut be stopped?A.By pressing on the wound with a tourniquet.B.By wrapping the injury in a clean, cold cloth.C.By putting pressure on the blood vessel above the cut.D.By trying a cloth tightly around the injury.第四节词汇（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）根据英文注释、首字母提示或汉语提示写出相应的单词。
