五、阅读理解
Every year, wildfires destroy tens of thousands of square kilometres of forest land. People lose their homes. Some are hurt or even killed. Smokejumpers help to stop this.
Smokejumpers are special firefighters. Some fires are in hard- to- reach places, such as in the middle of a mountain forest. These firefighters jump from planes or are lowered into those areas by helicopter(直升机).
When they arrive, smokejumpers first check the land and decide how to fight the fire. Their main duty is to prevent the fire from spreading until other firefighters arrive. Smokejumpers use shovels(铲子) or axes(斧头) to clear the land of burnable things, like dry grass and dead trees.They carry water with them too, but not a lot.
Although most smokejumpers are men, more women are joining now. The most important factors(因素) are height and weight. Smokejumpers in the US, for example, must be between 54and 91 kilograms. This way, they don't get blown away by the strong winds or get hurt when they land. Smokejumpers also need to know how to survive in the wild. In Russia, many smokejumpers know how to find food in the forest and can even make simple furniture from trees.
The work is dangerous, and the hours are long. But for these firefighters, smokejumping isn't just a job. It's a way of life. They love being able to jump out of planes, fight fires and live in the forest. Wang Yaming is a 28- year- old Chinese smokejumper. He says,“This is the best job for tough guys.”
1. How does the writer begin the passage?

B. Their main duty is to reach the middle of a mountain forest.
C. Their main duty is to prevent the wildfire from spreading.

3. How many countries that have smokejumpers are mentioned?

4. According to the passage,' is the most suitable to be a smokejumper.

六、 One possible version:
On April 21, a tornado hit Hengyang in HunanProvince.
In the beginning, the sky became dark. Everyone could hear a strange noise. They were very afraid, but nobody knew what was happening. A few minutes later, people saw the lightning and heard the thunder. Then everything began to move. Finally, it suddenly stopped.
During the disaster, seven people lost their lives. Over2,400 houses fell down. Thousands of people had nowhere to live. The students had no classrooms to have lessons in.After the disaster, people began to help each other. Many policemen came to help.
I think if everyone is ready to help people in need, the world will be full of love.
