Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题) （7分） Surviving the Fire It was a cold, dry February afternoon in 2017. I was in my house with my children.

Thankfully, the headteacher of her school came and brought her the medicine she kept at school. Thinking about what could have happened, I couldn’t help but feel frightened.

(twenty) 【答案】twentieth 【解析】 【详解】句意：让我们乘电梯到20楼餐厅。因为空格后是名词的单数，所以应该用序数词twentieth。故填twentieth。 26. Ever since she was little, going to New York has been a dream of ________. (she) 【答案】hers 【解析】 【详解】句意：从她很小的时候起，去纽约一直是她的一个梦想。此处“a dream of…”表示“他的一个梦想”，“of+名词性物主代词/sb’s”构成双重所有格，she她，人称代词主格，对应的名词性物主代词是hers。故填hers。 27. Tom became _________ after he was asked again and again.

They protect the environment by reducing wastes. (对划线部分提问) ________ _________ they protect the environment? 【答案】 ①. How ②. do 【解析】 【详解】句意：他们通过减少浪费来保护环境。划线部分“by reducing wastes”表示通过某种方式，对方式提问用特殊疑问词how；根据动词protect可知是一般现在时，因此变问句时要借助do。故填How；do。 33. “Is the newspaper free to readers?” asked the chief editor. (改为宾语从句) The chief editor asked _______ the newspaper _______ free to readers. 【答案】 ①. if##whether ②. was 【解析】 【详解】句意：主编问：“报纸对读者是免费的吗？”考查宾语从句的改写。因为被转述的原句为一般疑问句，所以从句的引导词用if或者whether；宾语从句要用陈述句语序，且因为主句用的一般过去时态，所以从句也要用相应的过去时态，所以is要变成was。故填if/whether；was。 34. their behaviors, ought to, in public, pay attention to, people (连词成句) ___________________________________________________________. 【答案】People ought to pay attention to their behaviors in public 【解析】 【详解】根据所给单词以及符号可知，此句为一般陈述句。people意为“人们”，名词作主语；ought to意为“应该”，后应加动词原形放于主语后；pay attention to意为“注意”，动词原形作谓语动词；their behaviors意为“他们的行为”，名词作宾语；in public意为“在公众场合”。故填People ought to pay attention to their behaviors in public“人们应该注意自己在公共场合的行为”。 Part 3 Reading and Writing (第三部分 阅读与写话) （共36分） VI.

Yet we had to tell him that he would be living in a whole new house and that all of his clothes and toys were gone. My youngest daughter had asthma (哮喘). Thankfully, the headteacher of her school came and brought her the medicine she kept at school. Thinking about what could have happened, I couldn’t help but feel frightened.
