Answer 1

39．D．细节理解题．根据文章第一段及第二段话Izzy，nine，restarted father Colm's heart by stamping（踩）on his chest after he fell down at home and stopped breathing可知，女孩的父亲因为严重的过敏反应导致心脏骤停，她踩她父亲的胸部，目的是让他父亲的心脏重新起搏．故选D．
40．C．细节理解题．此题考查四个细节的排序．根据文章的叙述，女孩以前就学会了CPR，在父亲的心脏停止跳动之后，她的母亲先拨打了999，女孩发现自己的手臂力气不够用，才用踩她父亲胸部的方式．故选C．
41．A．主旨大意题．本段描述了女孩的父亲 星期六因为不明原因的过敏反应被送去医院，回家的第二天便发生了心脏骤停．因此本段是讲诉了父亲这两天的遭遇，故选A．
42．C．判断推理题．通读文章，可以看出，本文是一篇人物故事类的新闻报道，报道了女生在其父亲心脏骤停之后的勇敢之举--通过踩她父亲的胸部而挽救了父亲，故选B．
