You should stay between 1.8 and 2.5 meters away from the fire as you prepare to operate the fire extinguisher. {4} Operate the extinguisher It can be difficult to think clearly during a fire One method to help you remember how to operate an extinguisher is to remember the four steps of “PASS” progress (过程). ●P— Pull. ●A— Aim. ●S— Squeeze. ●S— Sweep. {5} Keep an eye on things After the fire seems to be out, continue to watch the fire area to make sure it doesn't start burning again.

I was living with my grandparents at that time. My grandparents had recently been out of work. While they’d managed to save money to buy a house, they didn’t have enough money for living cost. ① So, my grandfather took a job as doorkeeper of the Java school building. Keeping the whole building clean was a stressful job for an old man. Realizing this, I began helping him after school, sweeping rooms and emptying waste baskets, for a small payment. ② When winter arrived, he fired up the school’s furnace (火炉). He quickly realized how difficult it had become for him to shovel (铲) the huge pile of coal to fill in the furnace. I volunteered to take on that job, a promise that required me to get up an hour earlier each morning. I’d go over to the school, and shovel a half ton of coal, enough to keep the fire burning for 24 hours. After finishing that task, I’d return home, change clothes, and eat breakfast. Then I’d rush back to school, always at the last minute. ③ On two mornings, at the very moment I stepped onto the sidewalk (人行道) in front of the school, the first bell rang. That was the signal (信号) for students to go to class. This surprising coincidence caused me to improve my action. I carefully planned each step of my morning activity. I sped myself. Often I’d step onto the school’s sidewalk just as the first bell rang. This effort gave me a huge sense of achievement — and some strange feelings. ④ Twenty years later, at a school get-together, I happened to meet Harold Spiry, the head teacher, who had been in control of ringing the bell by pushing a button (按钮) in his office. I couldn’t stop talking about my superpower. I told Mr Spiry about how I had kept my difficult morning work in good order, how my timing had been perfect. “Oh that,” he said. “Do you remember my office windows? I used to look out through the windows. I often saw you coming. And when you hit the sidewalk, I’d ring the bell.” 36. Why did the writer’s grandfather work as a doorkeeper after he was out of work? A. Because he needed the job to support the family. B. Because he was interested in working for extra hours. C. Because he wanted to stay close to his grandson at school. D. Because he found he could be well paid by taking on the job. 37. The sentence “It was during those morning rushes to school that I discovered my superpower.” should be put in ________. A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④ 38. What does the underlined word “coincidence” mean in Paragraph 4? A. 巧合 B. 举措 C. 业绩 D. 表现 39. How would the writer feel after hearing what Harold Spiry said? A. Proud. B. Surprised. C. Relaxed. D. Calm. 40. What message does the writer’s story express? A. Our dream can be realized through hard work. B. Personal superpower brings people joy and success. C. Careful plans lead to the development of special skills. D. Our achievements are often supported by unseen kindness. 【答案】36. A 37. C 38. A 39. B 40. D 【解析】 【导语】本文通过讲述作者高中时期帮助祖父做繁重工作的经历，最终得知是学校老师在默默配合他的努力，引出主题：我们的成就常常受到无形的善意相助。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据“My grandparents had recently been out of work. While they’d managed to save money to buy a house, they didn’t have enough money for living cost”可知祖父当门卫是为了赚钱养家。故选A。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。结合文意及逻辑，句子“It was during those morning rushes to school that I discovered my superpower.”应放在描述早晨匆忙上学的段落，根据“ On two mornings, at the very moment I stepped onto the sidewalk (人行道) in front of the school, the first bell rang. ”可知，第③处符合语境。故选C。 【38题详解】 词义猜测题。根据文段结构和对上下文的理解，“this surprising coincidence”指的是他到达学校时第一声铃声正好响起，结合语境可知，coincidence意为“巧合”。故选A。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。从Mr Spiry说的“And when you hit the sidewalk, I’d ring the bell”可以看出，铃声并不是因为作者的超能力，而是人为控制，所以作者会感到意外。故选B。 【40题详解】 主旨大意题。故事最后透露了在他不知情的情况下，老师的关照和帮助成就了他的“成就感”，反映出我们的成就背后常有无形的善意支持。故选D。 D ①Free time is rare in modern life. Just look around you. Aren’t the adults all busy with something? But why is that? ②Imagine yourself as a busy office worker. Now, you have a set of technology (技术). It could make every part of your job easier. What would you do with all that extra time? Well, you would probably work the same amount (数量) of time as before, or even more. You doubt about this, don’t you? But in fact, something similar happened in the U.S. in the 20th century — not in factories or offices, but in homes. ③American homes in the early 1900s weren’t much different from those in the 1500s. There was no electricity (电). Most families had no water pipes. Family members had to carry every drop of water in and out of the house. ④Over the following years, many new appliances (家用电器) were made to save people’s time. Modern toilets, fridges and washing machines made their way into more and more homes. However, none of them saved hours of work. In the 1920s, full-time housewives spent 51 hours a week doing housework. In the 1960s, they were working 53 hours. ⑤This may seem surprising, but the reasons are simple. Better technology leads to higher expectations (预期), and higher expectations create more work. For example, before modern technology, most people washed their clothes only twice a year. Bad smell was unavoidable. Washing machines changed that. People began washing their clothes more often. And because it was easier to wash the clothes, people bought more shirts and dresses. As a result, housewives found themselves washing and drying more clothes. ⑥Technology has cut down the time it takes to cook a meal or wash a shirt. But it has also saved time for other housework, especially childcare. Since the 1980s, American parents have nearly doubled the amount of time they spend raising, teaching and driving their kids around town. ⑦Most of us can make our lives easier with modern technology. But instead of enjoying more rest time, we often find ourselves working more towards a better life.

However, it’s not enough to simply keep an extinguisher somewhere. The best way to be ready for a fire is to study this guide carefully and go over it often. {1} Have a clear exit route (路线) Before operating the fire extinguisher, make sure you have a clear exit route. If you cannot put out the fire, you will need to make a safe exit. Also, make sure everyone else is out. {2} Call the fire department (消防部门) Even if the fire seems manageable, you should always have the fire department on the way. Once the firemen arrive, they can double-check to see if the fire has been completely put out. {3} Stand back Face the fire and keep your back to the clear exit. You should stay between 1.8 and 2.5 meters away from the fire as you prepare to operate the fire extinguisher. {4} Operate the extinguisher It can be difficult to think clearly during a fire. One method to help you remember how to operate an extinguisher is to remember the four steps of “PASS” progress (过程). ●P— Pull. ●A— Aim. ●S— Squeeze. ●S— Sweep. {5} Keep an eye on things After the fire seems to be out, continue to watch the fire area to make sure it doesn't start burning again. If the fire does start up again, repeat the “PASS” process. {6} Get to a safe place Once the fire is out, or if you are unable to put it out, leave the scene. Find a place out of reach of the fire. 31. By writing this guide, the writer mainly wants to ________.

C I once thought I had superpower in my senior year of high school. I was living with my grandparents at that time. My grandparents had recently been out of work. While they’d managed to save money to buy a house, they didn’t have enough money for living cost. ① So, my grandfather took a job as doorkeeper of the Java school building. Keeping the whole building clean was a stressful job for an old man. Realizing this, I began helping him after school, sweeping rooms and emptying waste baskets, for a small payment. ② When winter arrived, he fired up the school’s furnace (火炉). He quickly realized how difficult it had become for him to shovel (铲) the huge pile of coal to fill in the furnace. I volunteered to take on that job, a promise that required me to get up an hour earlier each morning. I’d go over to the school, and shovel a half ton of coal, enough to keep the fire burning for 24 hours. After finishing that task, I’d return home, change clothes, and eat breakfast. Then I’d rush back to school, always at the last minute. ③ On two mornings, at the very moment I stepped onto the sidewalk (人行道) in front of the school, the first bell rang. That was the signal (信号) for students to go to class. This surprising coincidence caused me to improve my action. I carefully planned each step of my morning activity. I sped myself. Often I’d step onto the school’s sidewalk just as the first bell rang. This effort gave me a huge sense of achievement — and some strange feelings. ④ Twenty years later, at a school get-together, I happened to meet Harold Spiry, the head teacher, who had been in control of ringing the bell by pushing a button (按钮) in his office. I couldn’t stop talking about my superpower. I told Mr Spiry about how I had kept my difficult morning work in good order, how my timing had been perfect. “Oh that,” he said. “Do you remember my office windows? I used to look out through the windows. I often saw you coming. And when you hit the sidewalk, I’d ring the bell.” 36. Why did the writer’s grandfather work as a doorkeeper after he was out of work? A. Because he needed the job to support the family. B. Because he was interested in working for extra hours. C. Because he wanted to stay close to his grandson at school. D. Because he found he could be well paid by taking on the job. 37. The sentence “It was during those morning rushes to school that I discovered my superpower.” should be put in ________. A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④ 38. What does the underlined word “coincidence” mean in Paragraph 4? A. 巧合 B. 举措 C. 业绩 D. 表现 39. How would the writer feel after hearing what Harold Spiry said? A. Proud. B. Surprised. C. Relaxed. D. Calm. 40. What message does the writer’s story express? A. Our dream can be realized through hard work. B. Personal superpower brings people joy and success. C. Careful plans lead to the development of special skills. D. Our achievements are often supported by unseen kindness. D ①Free time is rare in modern life. Just look around you. Aren’t the adults all busy with something? But why is that? ②Imagine yourself as a busy office worker. Now, you have a set of technology (技术). It could make every part of your job easier. What would you do with all that extra time? Well, you would probably work the same amount (数量) of time as before, or even more. You doubt about this, don’t you? But in fact, something similar happened in the U.S. in the 20th century — not in factories or offices, but in homes. ③American homes in the early 1900s weren’t much different from those in the 1500s. There was no electricity (电). Most families had no water pipes. Family members had to carry every drop of water in and out of the house. ④Over the following years, many new appliances (家用电器) were made to save people’s time. Modern toilets, fridges and washing machines made their way into more and more homes. However, none of them saved hours of work. In the 1920s, full-time housewives spent 51 hours a week doing housework. In the 1960s, they were working 53 hours. ⑤This may seem surprising, but the reasons are simple. Better technology leads to higher expectations (预期), and higher expectations create more work. For example, before modern technology, most people washed their clothes only twice a year. Bad smell was unavoidable. Washing machines changed that. People began washing their clothes more often. And because it was easier to wash the clothes, people bought more shirts and dresses. As a result, housewives found themselves washing and drying more clothes. ⑥Technology has cut down the time it takes to cook a meal or wash a shirt. But it has also saved time for other housework, especially childcare. Since the 1980s, American parents have nearly doubled the amount of time they spend raising, teaching and driving their kids around town. ⑦Most of us can make our lives easier with modern technology. But instead of enjoying more rest time, we often find ourselves working more towards a better life. Without big changes in society’s expectations, people will take on more work and never feel like enough. 41. To support his ideas, the writer mostly discussed American ________ in the 20th century. A. factory life B. office life C. school life D. home life 42 The underlined word “that” in Paragraph 5 refers to (指) “________”. A. people seldom washing their clothes B. people buying more shirts and dresses C. people spending much time washing clothes D. housewives washing all of the family’s clothes 43. How has the time American parents spend on childcare changed since the 1980s? A. It has dropped. B. It has nearly doubled. C. It has slightly risen. D. It has stayed about the same. 44. Which of the following shows the structure of this passage? A. ①/②/③④⑤⑥/⑦ B. ①/②③④⑤/⑥/⑦ C. ①②③④/⑤⑥/⑦ D. ①②③/④⑤⑥/⑦ 45. What’s the best title of this article? A. More technology, less work! B.
