Read on to learn 4 unexpected home fire dangers. Having old smoke alarms An effective smoke alarm can make much difference when it comes to surviving a house fire. It's not enough to change the batteries twice a year. You also need to replace your alarms every decade. “You should test your smoke alarms every month，” says Lorraine Carli, vice president of the National Fire Protection Association. “But also don't forget to check the dates and replace an alarm that is more than 10 years old.” Leaving the kitchen while you cook One in five Americans admitted leaving food cooking unattended on the stove, found an American Red Cross survey. Walking away from food cooking in the kitchen is a serious fire risk. “The leading cause of home fires is cooking and the leading cause of those fires is unattended cooking，” says Carli. “If you need to use the stove or oven, be sure to keep an eye on it.” Turning up the heat too high when you cook Turning up the heat too high can be deadly, even if you're in the kitchen while you cook. Kevin Kelley, senior director of the American Red Cross, recommends paying close attention and turning off the burner if you see smoke or grease(油脂) starting to boil while frying food. Having a dirty stove while you cook If your stove is covered with grease, a small kitchen fire can get out of hand quickly. Clean and clear the area around the stove before turning on the heat, or the result will be dangerous. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章列举了生活中容易忽略的一些火灾隐患，并提出了避免火灾发生的措施。 1．How long should you have a new smoke alarm? A．2 years.　　　　　　　　 B．10 years. C．12 years. D．8 years. B　[细节理解题。根据第二段第二、三句It's not enough to change the batteries twice a year. You also need to replace your alarms every decade.(一年换两次电池是不够的，你还需要每十年更换一次报警器。)可知，除了一年换两次电池，需要每十年更换一次烟雾报警器。即烟雾报警器应该10年换一个新的。故选B项。] 2．What is the leading cause of fires from the kitchen? A．Clearing a dirty stove. B．Turning off the burner. C．Replacing an alarm. D．Unattended cooking. D　[细节理解题。根据第三段中Walking away from food cooking in the kitchen is a serious fire risk. “The leading cause of home fires is cooking and the leading cause of those fires is unattended cooking，” says Carli.(离开厨房烹饪食物是一种严重的火灾风险。卡利说：“家庭火灾的主要原因是烹饪，而这些火灾的主要原因是无人值守的烹饪。”)可知，厨房火灾的主要原因是烹饪食物时离开厨房，厨房无人值守。故选D项。] 3．Which of the following is NOT true? A．Unexpected home fire dangers can be prevented. B．It is advisable to change the batteries twice a year. C．Kevin Kelley suggests paying close attention to fried food. D．Having a dirty stove is dangerous while you cook. C　[细节理解题。根据第四段中Kevin Kelley, senior director of the American Red Cross, recommends paying close attention and turning off the burner if you see smoke or grease(油脂)starting to boil while frying food.(美国红十字会的高级主任凯文·凯利建议，如果你在煎炸食物时看到烟雾或油脂开始沸腾，就要密切注意并关闭燃烧器。)可知，凯文建议，你在煎炸食物时，要密切关注的是燃烧器的情况，而不是关注煎炸食物。因此。C项“Kevin Kelley suggests paying close attention to fried food (凯文·凯利建议密切关注油炸食品)”不符合题意。故选C项。] B We live in a town with three beaches.There are two parks less than 10 minutes' walk from home where neighbourhood children gather to play.However，what my children want to do after school is pick up a screen—any screen—and stare at it for hours.They are not alone.Today's children spend an average of four and a half hours a day looking at screens，split between watching television and using the Internet. In the past few years，an increasing number of people and organisations have begun coming up with plans to counter this trend.A couple of years ago，film-maker David Bond realised that his children，then aged five and three，were attached to screens to the point where he was able to say “chocolate” into his three-year-old son's ear without getting a response.He realised that something needed to change，and，being a London media type，appointed himself “marketing director for Nature”．He documented his journey as he set about treating nature as a brand to be marketed to young people.The result was ProjectWildThing，a film which charts the birth of the Wild Network，a group of organisations with the common goal of getting children out into nature. “Just five more minutes outdoors can make a difference，” David Bond says.“There is a lot of really interesting evidence which seems to be suggesting that if children are inspired up to the age of seven，then being outdoors will be a habit for life.” His own children have got into the habit of playing outside now：“We just send them out into the garden and tell them not to come back in for a while.” Summer is upon us.There is an amazing world out there，and it needs our children as much as they need it.Let us get them out and let them play. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了电影制作人David Bond看到许多孩子们沉迷于电子产品，于是他通过影片，鼓励孩子们走进大自然。 4．What is the problem with the author's children? A．They often annoy the neighbours. B．They are tired of doing their homework. C．They have no friends to play with. D．They stay in front of screens for too long. D　[细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“However，what my children...pick up a screen—any screen—and stare at it for hours.”可知，作者的孩子长时间看电子产品(屏幕)，这引起了作者的担忧。] 5．How did David Bond advocate his idea? A．By making a documentary film. B．By organizing outdoor activities. C．By advertising in London media. D．By creating a network of friends. A　[细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“He realised that something needed to change...He documented his journey...The result was ProjectWildThing...”可知，为了改变孩子们长时间看电子产品的现状，David Bond利用自身的职业优势，制作了纪录片ProjectWildThing，故选A项。] 6．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “charts” in Paragraph 2? A．Records. B．Predicts. C．Delays. D．Confirms. A　[词义猜测题。根据文章第二段中的“He documented his journey...”和“a film which charts the birth of the Wild Network, a group of organisations”可知，《野生动物计划》是一部纪录片，这部纪录片记录了Wild Network的诞生，chart此处意为“记录，跟踪”，意思同record。] 7．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．Let Children Have Fun B．Young Children Need More Free Time C．Market Nature to Children D．David Bond：A Role Model for Children C　[标题归纳题。文章开头由作者的亲身案例引出社会现状：孩子们沉迷于电子产品。David Bond 为了让孩子们减少使用电子产品的时间，通过制作纪录片向孩子们推销大自然这个品牌，鼓励他们走进大自然，故C项“向孩子们推销自然”能较好地概括全文，适合作文章标题。] Ⅱ.七选五 Being prepared and knowing the right things you have to do during the flood will give you greater chance to be safe and survive. You can have something following in mind. 1 Finding out how long the flood is expected to last will guide you in the proper measures and prevention you have to do. So do listen to the weather report.

Make sure that necessary items during the flood are ready. 2 They are candles, radios, extra batteries, cash, phones, medicines, extra food, emergency cooking equipment, and bottled water, as water service may be cut off. Know the emergency numbers in your place. In case of emergency conditions where you need further help, you will be able to ask for help. 3 Stay in a safe place. 4 If your house is well-built and won't be affected by flood, then it may be the best place to stay in during a storm. Be aware of the flood signal in your place to help you decide on where to stay and react to the condition. The flood often comes with the strong wind so board up and close windows. 5 A．Know about the latest weather conditions in your area. B．We'll keep you updated with weather information all day.

My friend Stella is such an example.Every time we went to a restaurant，she would not take a bite until all the dishes we 1 were on the table.Then she would spend five minutes in 2 the dishes in a seemingly random but in fact 3 order.Then the most important part：taking pictures.After that，she would choose one of the 4 and click in the filter(滤镜) app.The food eventually looked 10 times more delicious than it really was，but we had no 5 to really enjoy it—it all went cold.Actually Stella's real life is much less elegant.For example，she hates to wash the dishes，so she leaves them in the sink for days. Many people care too much about others' opinions and try too hard to 6 others.They find it hard to be 7 and to accept themselves，and thus they are afraid to show their 8 life on social media.What they are trying to prove is 9 what they lack in reality.But this will not bring any 10 to reality，as they still 11 the same old pattern of life. If they really want an elegant life，they should put more 12 into achieving it 13 fabricating(伪造)it.Being more confident， 14 themselves and trying their best to be better are much more meaningful than 15 their life on social media.

One hot summer day, professor Smith decided to take his children to a seaside town about a three-hour train ride away.To make the trip more interesting for his young children, he kept the name of the town a secret.However, by the time they arrived at the station, Smith forgot the name of the town he was planning to visit.Luckily, a friend of his happened to be in the station.He offered to take care of the children while Smith hurried back home to find out where he was going. The professor's wife was surprised to see him again so soon. “Oh, my dear, I forget the name of the town.” “What？You forget the name？Maybe one day you will forget my name！Now I'll write the name of that town on a piece of paper, and you put it in your pocket and please, please don't forget where you put it.” Satisfied that she had solved the problem, she sent her husband off again.Ten minutes later she was amazed to see him outside the house for the third time. Paragraph 1： “What is the matter now？” asked his wife.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Paragraph 2： Hearing the cry, out rushed their neighbors, trying to find out what had happened.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 [参考范文] Paragraph 1： “What is the matter now？” asked his wife.“I just can't remember why I come back，”replied the professor.However, the real reason was that he forgot where he had left his children.Feeling something wrong, Mrs Smith didn't believe his words.She asked her husband to tell her the truth.At last John Smith had to admit that he hadn't forgotten where he put the name of that town, but forgotten the station he had left those children.“What a bad memory！” shouted his wife angrily. Paragraph 2： Hearing the cry, out rushed their neighbors, trying to find out what had happened.A fight between the couple was about to start when the professor's cell phone began to ring.It was his friend at the station!

Children often turn to adults for information，comfort and help.Parents should try to remain calm，answer children's questions honestly and remain understanding when they see changes in their children's behavior. Children react differently to an earthquake depending on their ages，developmental levels and former experiences.Some will respond by withdrawing(不与人交往)，while others will have angry outbursts(爆发).Parents should remain sensitive to each child's reactions.Parents should spend time talking to their children，letting them know that it's OK to ask questions and to share their worries.Although it may be hard to find time to have these talks，parents can use regular family mealtimes or bedtimes for them.They should answer questions briefly and honestly and be sure to ask their children for their opinions and ideas.Issues may come up more than once and parents should remain patient when you answer the questions again.For young children，parents，after talking about the earthquake，might read a favorite story or have a relaxing family activity to help them calm down.Parents should also tell children they are safe and spend extra time with them.They could play games outside or read together indoors.Most importantly，be sure to tell them you love them.

The boy dug around the rock，trying to get it out of the sand.With many struggles，he pushed the rock across the sandbox by using his feet.He was a very small boy and the rock was very huge.When the boy got the rock to the edge of the sandbox，however，he found that he couldn't roll it up and over the little wall. Determined，the little boy shoved and pushed，but every time the rock tipped(倾斜) and then fell back into the sandbox.Finally，he burst into tears of frustration.All this time the boy's father watched from his living room window.At the moment his tears fell，a large shadow fell across the boy and the sandbox.It was the boy's father. Gently but firmly he said，“Son，why didn't you use all the strength that you had available？” Defeated，the boy answered，“But I did，Daddy.I used all the strength that I had！”“No，son，” said the father kindly.“You didn't use all the strength you had.You didn't ask me.” With that the father reached down，picked up the rock，and removed it from the sandbox. Do you have “rocks” in your life that need to be removed？Are you discovering that you don't have what it takes to lift them？There is one who is always available and willing to give us the strength we need.Isn't it funny that we try so hard to do things all by ourselves? [语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文。如果你使出浑身解数仍然难以搬动人生道路上的巨石，请不要悲观失望，因为在你周围往往会有那么一个人，他会助你一臂之力，帮你实现梦想。 8．What did the boy want to do with the rock? A．To break it into smaller pieces. B．To remove it from the sandbox.

C　[推理判断题。根据最后一段可推知，作者认为当我们在生活中遇到困难且凭一己之力无法克服的时候，我们应当向他人寻求帮助。] 11．What may be the best title for the text? A．Secrets in the Sand B．Rock in the Sandbox C．Where Strength Is Needed D．When Help Is Not at Hand B　[标题归纳题。本文通过讲述一名小男孩试图将石块移出沙池的故事告诉我们：在生活中，我们应该学会向他人求助。B项可引出这一话题。] D Everybody hates rats(big mice).But in the earthquake capitals of the world—Japan，Los Angeles，Turkey—rats will soon be man's best friends. What happens after an earthquake? We send in rescue dogs.Why? Because they can smell people.Dogs save lives.They help rescuers to find living people.But dogs are big and they can't get into small spaces.So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives：the rat. How does it work? First，the rat is trained to smell people.When this happens，the rat's brain gives a signal(信号).This is sent to a small radio on its back，and then the rescuers follow the radio signal.When the rat's brain activity jumps，the rescuers know that someone is alive.The rat has smelled that person. Although there are already robots which can do this job，rats are better.Christian Linster at Cornell University，New York，says，“Robots' noses don't work well when there are other smells around.Rats are good at that.” Rats can also see in the dark.They are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs，and unlike robots，they don't need electricity! The “rat project” is not finished，but Julie Ryan of International Rescue Organization in Scotland says，“It would be wonderful.A rat can get into spaces we can't get to，and a rat will get out if it isn't safe.” Perhaps for the first time in history，people will be happy to see a rat in a building (but only after an earthquake，of course). [语篇解读]　本文一篇说明文。介绍了一个研究项目——利用老鼠来搜寻地震中的被困人员。 12．In the world earthquake capitals，rats will become man's best friends because they can ． A．take the place of man's rescue jobs B．find the position of living people who are trapped in buildings C．serve as food for living people who are trapped in buildings D．get into small spaces B　[推理判断题。根据第三段的内容可知，人们可以利用老鼠来搜寻地震后被困的生还人员，因此答案为B项。] 13．From the third paragraph we know the rescuers can judge a person who is alive by ． A．the noise made by the rat B．the rat's unusual behavior C．the signal sent by the radio on the rat's back D．the smell given off by the person C　[细节理解题。根据第三段中的“When this happens，the rat's brain gives a signal(信号).This is sent to a small radio on its back，and then the rescuers follow the radio signal.”可知答案为C项。] 14．Rats have all the following advantages EXCEPT that ． A．they are more lovely than other animals B．they are less expensive to train than dogs C．they don't need electricity D．they are small and can get into small places A　[细节理解题。文章第一句提到“Everybody hates rats(big mice).”，由此可知，人们并不喜欢老鼠。由文章最后两段的内容可知，B、C、D三项均为老鼠的优势。故选A。] 15．After reading the passage we know ． A．at present rats have taken the place of dogs in searching for people B．the “rat project” has been completed C．people are now happy to see a rat in a building D．now people still use dogs and robots in performing rescues D　[推理判断题。由最后一段中的“The ‘rat project’ is not finished...”可知A、B两项错误；由文章最后一句可排除C项。根据第四段的介绍可知，人们仍在使用狗和机器人进行救援工作。故选D。] Ⅱ.七选五 The Night the Titanic Sank From a high place on the ship，Fred Fleet，who worked on the Titanic，saw the iceberg(冰山) just a few hundred metres away.He rang the bell to warn the people driving the ship. 16 Soon after that，one passenger，Major Peuchen，noticed that the ship wasn't straight in the water.But nobody listened to him. 17 Another ship—the Californian was about 30 kilometres north of the Titanic.When the Californian saw the iceberg，it stopped.It also sent a radio message to warn other ships in the area.At about 11：15 p．m.，the Californian's radio operator turned off the radio，and went to bed.The Titanic sent a message back giving its position—wrongly！ 18 Soon after midnight，the crew(船员) of the Californian saw rockets going up into the sky from the Titanic.Their captain said，“Fireworks！ 19 ” The radio wasn't turned on again，and the Californian didn't move.At 0：25 a．m on the Titanic，people began to get into the lifeboats. At 2：20 a．m on April 15th the Titanic finally sank.Another ship，the Carpathia，heard the Titanic's last call for help. 20 At 4：10 a．m，the Carpathia saw the Titanic's lifeboats floating on the dark water，and rescued the survivors.Later，the Californian turned the radio back on，and heard that the Titanic had sunk. A．The accident happened at about 11：40 p．m. B．Everyone was very proud of the Titanic. C．The passengers of the Titanic are having a party. D.It was 58 miles away，but it raced to help the ship. E．But it was travelling too fast to stop，and it hit the iceberg. F．Before the accident，the Titanic had received an ice warning. G．A lot of people stayed on the ship instead of trying to escape.

The biology project required Poltu to submit the study of a living creature every month.Most of his classmates drew diagrams from their books as part of this exercise.But Poltu was going to do something different.He was going to present a live creature—this butterfly. Poltu loved the different colours on the wings of the butterfly.Red, green and blue.How beautiful it looked when it fluttered the wings.Poltu had made a few holes on the cap of the bottle to let air pass through, and added tender leaves for the butterfly to nibble (小口地咬) on.He might have trapped the creature, but he cared for it. Excited about displaying his exhibit to the biology teacher, Poltu dressed hurriedly, and left for school.His school was walking distance from his house.He took a short cut and when he arrived, the gate wasn't wholly open yet. He walked straight into his class, opened the bench window and placed the bottle on the windowsill.The golden rays of the sun streamed through the glass, on the delicate wings of the butterfly.Poltu's butterfly looked simply gorgeous.In a few minutes, the area was full of boys, even from other classes, gazing fondly at it. That day's biology class was the most interesting in a long time.Pleased with Poltu's initiative (主动性), the teacher asked everyone in the class to thank him as he made it possible for them to study a butterfly so closely.Poltu felt like a star for being treated like royalty. On the way home, whatever small creature Poltu came across, he felt like putting into the bottle.But he checked himself as he wanted to give breathing space to his butterfly. Paragraph 1： However, when he returned home, he found the butterfly not moving.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Paragraph 2： He ran outside, holding the bottle tightly in his hand.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 [参考范文] Paragraph 1: However, when he returned home, he found the butterfly not moving.Suspecting that it could be sleeping, he patted the cap of the bottle lightly, but no response.Poltu was scared all of a sudden.A disturbing thought flashed across his mind that the butterfly might have been exhausted to death after being displayed the entire day.He poured a little water into the bottle, which seemed to help as the butterfly shivered a little.Then followed a long period of utter stillness of the poor creature, leaving Poltu even more unsettled. Paragraph 2: He ran outside, holding the bottle tightly in his hand.The air in the backyard was refreshing from the scent of the green grass.He quickly unscrewed the cap of the bottle and started shaking it gently.His heart pounded as he waited for the butterfly to come alive.Then slowly, as if waking from a deep slumber, the butterfly started to move.Poltu watched as it fluttered its wings and rose gently up into the air.Staring at the empty bottle for an instant, he had a feeling of emptiness himself.But it was a delight to send the butterfly back to where it belonged—nature. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
