A. an, the B. a, an C. a, the 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：约翰是一个欧洲男孩，他来自剑桥大学，这是所有学生梦寐以求的大学。 考查冠词辨析。第一空表示泛指，“一个欧洲的男孩”，且European是以辅音音素开头的，所以第一空填a。第二空特指前文提到的事物，所以第二空填the，故选C。 2. —We can cut down waste pollution ________ reusable bags and lunch boxes. —________ good suggestion! A. with using; What B. by using; What a C. to use; What a 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我们可以通过使用可重复使用的袋子和午餐盒来减少废料污染。——多么好的建议啊！ 第一空表示“通过……方式”，应用介词by后接动名词using，构成by doing结构；第二空中心词suggestion是可数名词单数，感叹句结构为What+a/an+形容词+名词！用What a。应填by using；What a。 3. —Sorry, Jean. I’ve been to Fun times Park twice. —________, I’ll ask Maria to go with me. A. In that case B. In total C. Once in a while 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——对不起，Jean。我已经去过欢乐时光公园两次了。——既然那样，我叫Maria和我一起去。 考查介词短语。In that case既然那样；In total总计；Once in a while偶尔。根据“Sorry, Jean. I’ve been to Fun times Park twice.”和“I’ll ask Maria to go with me.”可知，此处表示“既然那样，我就让Maria和我一起去”。故选A。 4. From Nov. 30 to Dec. 12, people from all over the world ________ care about climate change came together in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates (UAE). They were there for COP28. A. which B. where C. who 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：从11月30日到12月12日，来自世界各地关心气候变化的人们聚集在阿拉伯联合酋长国迪拜。他们是来参加COP28的。 考查定语从句。首先分析句子可知，空后是定语从句，修饰先行词people，指人，所以应用who引导，在句中作主语，故选C。 5. —If you share a photo on Weibo, others will know you are in Zigong. —Chinese social media platform (社交媒体)now show their users’ ________. That causes a lot of worries online. A. positions B. names C. directions 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——如果你在微博上分享一张照片，别人就会知道你在自贡。——中国社交媒体平台现在显示用户的位置。这在网上引起了很多担忧。 positions位置；names名字；directions方向。根据“If you share a photo on Weibo, others will know you are in Zigong.”可知，自贡表示所在的位置，说明社交媒体平台会显示用户的位置。“positions”表示“位置”，符合此句的语境。 6. The 19th Asian Games ________ in Hangzhou from September 23rd to October 8th last year. A. was held B. held C. will be held 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：第19届亚运会去年9月23日至10月8日在杭州举行。 根据时间状语“last year”可知，句子为一般过去时，且亚运会是“被举行”，应用一般过去时的被动语态was held。 7. —Anna, is that Jimmy over there? —It ___________ be him. He has gone to Harbin for the Ice Festival. A. must B. could C. can’t 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——安娜，那边那个是吉米吗？——不可能是他。他去哈尔滨参加冰雪节了。 考查情态动词。must必须；could能；can’t不可能。根据“He has gone to Harbin for the Ice Festival.”可知，他去哈尔滨了，所以那个人不可能是吉米。故选C。 8. —The movie has already begun, but Eddie hasn’t ________. What’s wrong with him? —He is caught in heavy traffic now. A. grown up B. woken up C. shown up 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——电影已经开始了，但是艾迪还没有露面。他怎么了？——他现在遇到严重交通堵塞了。 grown up长大；woken up醒来；shown up露面/出现。根据答语“He is caught in heavy traffic now.”可知，由于交通堵塞导致他未能及时到达，即还没有出现。 9. —I wonder ________. —Yes. It was really a relaxing trip. A. if you enjoyed your trip to Qinhuangdao. B. that you enjoyed your trip to Qinhuangdao. C. whether did you enjoy your trip to Qinhuangdao. 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我想知道你是否喜欢你的秦皇岛之旅。——是的。那真是一次放松的旅行。 根据答语“Yes”可知，从句表示一般疑问含义，应用if或whether引导，排除B项；宾语从句需用陈述语序，C项为疑问语序（did you enjoy），排除。A项引导词正确且为陈述语序。 10. —I think we should be allowed to wear whatever we like to school. —________. As students, we should wear proper clothes to school. A. I agree B. I disagree C. I hope so 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我认为我们应该被允许穿任何我们喜欢的衣服去上学。——我不同意。作为学生，我们应该穿合适的衣服上学。 I agree我同意；I disagree我不同意；I hope so我希望如此。根据答语后句“As students, we should wear proper clothes to school.”可知，说话者认为学生应该穿合适的衣服，这与前句“穿任何喜欢的衣服”的观点相反，因此表示不同意对方的观点，应填I disagree。 第二节 完形填空（共15小题；A篇每小题2分, B篇每小题1分, 满分20分） While living in China, I have learned new things about vegetables. Although many vegetables here are not new to me, they ____11____ differently. In the West, eggplant is often grilled (烤).

It was created in China. No one knows who first invented it. But history does tell us about one man who improved the process and this man was Cai Lun (62-121), who was born during the Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220). Cai Lun often paid visits to the countryside workshops when he took office as Shang-fang Ling an officer in control of making instruments and weapons. Inspired by women who raised silkworms (蚕), he used many materials to make paper, such as bark (树皮), pieces of net normally used to catch fish, and pieces of used cloth. He broke these materials down into very small pieces and finally produced a kind of paper. In 105, Cai Lun showed his paper-making process and pieces of paper to Emperor He of Han (汉和帝). His way to make paper was strongly praised by the Emperor and it soon got popular. The paper made in this way, known as Cai Hou Paper, was used across the country. Today, Cai Lun is still remembered as the inventor of the paper-making process, one of the Four Great Inventions of China. He is regarded as the father of the modern paper industry. In 2007, Cai Lun was listed as one of the “Best Inventors in Recorded History” by Time magazine. His paper-making process was specially shown in the opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. 29. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A. The process. B. The paper. C. The history. 30. What materials did Cai Lun use to make paper? ①bark ②silk ③wood ④used cloth ⑤pieces of net A. ①④⑤ B. ①②⑤ C. ②③④ 31. Put the events into correct order according to the passage. a. Cai Lun showed his way of making paper. b. Cai Lun visited the countryside workshops. c. Cai Lun got praised by Emperor He of Han. d. Cai Lun made paper with different kinds of materials. A. d-b-a-c B. d-a-b-c C. b-d-a-c 32. What can be the best title of the passage? A. Cai Hou Paper: The Most Widely Used Paper B. Cai Lun: The Inventor of Paper-making Process C. Paper-making Process: One of the Four Great Inventions of China 【答案】29. B 30. A 31. C 32. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了造纸术的发展背景，重点讲述东汉蔡伦改进造纸工艺的过程、推广经历，以及他和蔡侯纸获得的后世深远影响力。 【29题详解】 根据第一段前文“The paper we know today... It was created in China.”可知，上下文讨论的核心对象是“纸张”，因此划线单词“it”指代的是“The paper”。 【30题详解】 根据第二段中“he used many materials to make paper, such as bark..., pieces of net..., and pieces of used cloth”可知，蔡伦造纸使用的材料包括树皮、渔网碎片和旧布料，分别对应选项中的①④⑤。 【31题详解】 根据文章叙事逻辑：第二段先提到蔡伦任职期间参观乡下作坊（b），受启发后用多种材料造纸（d）；第三段提到公元105年他将造纸术献给皇帝（a），随后得到皇帝赞誉（c）。因此正确顺序为b-d-a-c。 【32题详解】 文章虽以纸张起源开篇，但主体篇幅重点讲述了蔡伦改进造纸术的过程、材料、推广情况及其历史荣誉，核心人物是蔡伦，选项B最能准确概括文章中心主旨。 C Many of us have this experience: a piece of music keeps playing in our heads when we are awake. It turns out this can happen during sleep as well. And it can cause problems in getting to sleep and staying asleep. “Our brains continue to process music even when none is playing, including while we are asleep,” said the neuroscientist (神经科学家) Michael Scullin. His research team surveyed 199 people and made a sleep test on 50 volunteers. They wanted to find out how listening to music, especially listening to earworms (洗脑音乐), before bedtime, influenced our sleep. In the survey, people who listened to music during the day were more likely to report nighttime earworms. That then had a bad influence on their sleep quality throughout the night. For the lab test, volunteers were played several earworms and then their sleep quality was tested. Earworms were reported throughout the night. They needed a longer time to fall asleep and woke up more times during the night. We thought that people would have earworms at bedtime when they were trying to fall asleep, but we certainly didn’t know people would regularly(经常地) wake up from sleep with an earworm,” says Michael, “But we saw that in both the survey and the test.” People used to believe that listening to music could help them have a better sleep, because it can relax the body. But Michael and his team suggested that it might be worse for our sleep — that even after the music stops, our brains continue to process it for several hours. Michael suggested avoiding listening to music right before bed to limit the chance of a song taking hold in our minds. “Doing some other activities, like making a list of jobs for the next day, might help clear the mind,” Michael said. 33. Michael and his team did the research to find out ________. A. the influence of earworms on our sleep B. why nighttime earworms happen C. the influence of bad sleep on our health 34. The underlined word “limit” has the closest meaning to “________”. A. increase B. control C. share 35. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs? A. Listening to music before going to bed is good for health. B. People can do some sports to relax their bodies before sleeping. C. The more we listen to music, the worse sleep we may have. 36. What’s the purpose of the passage? A. To help readers improve sleep quality. B. To tell readers about the recent research. C. To ask readers to stop listening to music. 【答案】33. A 34. B 35. C 36. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要是关于睡前听音乐对睡眠质量的影响，探讨了“耳虫”如何干扰入睡和睡眠质量。 【33题详解】 根据文章第二段最后一句“ They wanted to find out how listening to music, especially listening to earworms (洗脑音乐), before bedtime, influenced our sleep.”可知，他们进行这项研究是为了找出听洗脑音乐对我们睡眠的影响。 【34题详解】 根据最后一段“Michael suggested avoiding listening to music right before bed to limit the chance...”可知，迈克尔建议睡前避免听音乐是为了“限制”歌曲占据大脑的机会。在此语境下，control与limit含义最接近。 【35题详解】 根据倒数第二段“But Michael and his team suggested that it might be worse for our sleep”以及第三段“That then had a bad influence on their sleep quality through the night.”可知，听音乐可能会对睡眠产生负面影响，听得多可能睡眠越差。 【36题详解】 通读全文可知，文章围绕迈克尔团队的一项最新研究展开，介绍了研究的背景、过程、结论与相关建议，作者的写作目的是向读者介绍这项最新研究。 D We should all have at least one fire extinguisher (灭火器) somewhere in our house or office building. 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. Have a clear exit route (路线) Before using 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. Call the fire department (消防部门) Even if the fire seems possible to control, 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. 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 (操作) the fire extinguisher. Operate the extinguisher It can be difficult to think clearly during a fire. One way to help you remember how to operate an extinguisher is to remember the four steps of “PASS” process. ●P – Pull: Pull the pin (保险销) on the fire extinguisher. ●A— Aim: Aim at the bottom of the fire. Point the nozzle (喷嘴) at the base of the fire, instead of the flames. ●S— Squeeze: Squeeze (挤压) the handles (手柄) to release the extinguisher chemicals. ●S — Sweep: Sweep the nozzle from side to side until the fire is put out. 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. 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. 37. By writing this guide, the author mainly wants to ________. A. show us how to prevent a fire B. tell us what to do when there is a fire C. teach us how to use a fire extinguisher 38. According to the author, we should call the fire department even if the fire appears manageable because the firefighters can help make sure ________. A. there is a safe exit route B. the fire is really manageable C. the fire has been completely put out 39. The following pictures show the four steps of the“PASS” process. Which is the correct order? A. ④②①③ B. ④①③② C. ②③④① 40. Who may be the most interested in reading the passage? A. A college student who is interested in joining in outdoor activities. B. A middle school student who wants to know about survival (生存) skills. C. A teacher who would like to make a speech about environmental protection. 【答案】37. B 38. C 39. A 40. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了火灾发生时使用灭火器的正确步骤和注意事项，包括确保有安全出口、呼叫消防部门、保持安全距离、按照“PASS”流程操作灭火器、灭火后持续观察以及撤离到安全地点等。 【37题详解】 文章详细介绍了火灾发生时使用灭火器的步骤和注意事项，包括检查出口、呼救、保持距离、操作灭火器、观察复燃和撤离等，因此作者主要是告诉读者火灾发生时应该做什么。 【38题详解】 第三段指出：“Once the firemen arrive, they can double-check to see if the fire has been completely put out.”，说明即使火势看似可控，也应呼叫消防部门，因为消防员可以帮助确认火是否已完全扑灭。 【39题详解】 根据文中示意图，“PASS”操作顺序为：Pull(拔掉保险销)→Aim(瞄准火根部)→Squeeze(按压手柄)→Sweep(左右摆动喷嘴)。对应四幅图：④为拔掉保险销，②为瞄准火，①为按压手柄，③为左右摆动喷嘴，正确顺序为④②①③。 【40题详解】 文章内容是火灾安全知识和灭火器使用方法，属于生存技能，因此最感兴趣的是想了解生存技能的中学生。 第二节 阅读填空（共5小题；每小题2分, 满分10分） 补全短文。根据短文内容，从短文后的A—E选择中，选择适当的选项补全短文，并将代表句子的字母填写在答题卡相应题号的位置上。 China is seeing more foreign visitors these days.

Although##Though 65. who##that 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了父母过度溺爱、包办一切会让孩子缺乏独立能力，建议家长适度放手，让孩子学会独立面对问题。 【56题详解】 句意：我们要操心的事会变少，生活也会过得更幸福。句中“less”是“little”的比较级，“and”连接两个并列谓语，此处用形容词比较级happier。 【57题详解】 句意：有些父母从孩子出生起，就几乎为他们准备好了一切。句中“since”表明，自从他们出生以来，从过去持续到现在，故需用现在完成时，现在完成时结构是have/has + 过去分词，主语是Some parents，助动词用have，prepare的过去分词是prepared。 【58题详解】 句意：他们把长大的孩子（有时甚至已是成年人）依旧当作小孩子看待！consider sb. as sth.表示“把某人看作……”，固定搭配。 【59题详解】 句意：他们不敢让孩子独自出门、独自做任何事。by oneself“独自，靠自己”，句中宾语是them，对应反身代词是themselves，固定搭配。 【60题详解】 句意：结果就是，他们的孩子无法掌握社交能力，并且变得越发依赖父母。fail to do sth. 表示“未能/无法做某事”，固定搭配，因此用learn的过去式to learn。 【61题详解】 句意：因此一些专家建议，孩子们不应该一直被父母悉心照料。主语“children”和“take good care of”是被动关系，表示“孩子被父母照顾”，要用被动语态，shouldn’t后接动词原形，被动语态是be +过去分词，take的过去分词式是taken。 【62题详解】 句意：孩子们需要专属的成长时光，学会独立长大，也学会如何解决问题。固定结构： learn how to do sth.表示 “学习如何做某事”，此处指学习如何处理问题。 【63题详解】 句意：父母没必要过度担心孩子的安全。“the+名词+of”是固定用法；形容词“safe”对应的名词形式是“safety”，表示 “安全”。 【64题详解】 句意：尽管脱离父母的依靠时他们可能会陷入困境，但他们能从中收获良多。本句Although/Though表示 “虽然、尽管”，引导让步状语从句，表示前后语义转折。 【65题详解】 句意：如果孩子们能让父母明白自己真正需要多少关爱、多少呵护才算过度，那就再好不过了。本句中定语从句，先行词是“the children”，关系代词在从句中作主语，可用 “who”或“that”。 第三节 书面表达（满分25分） 66. 目前短视频很受人们的欢迎。最近你和同学针对“青少年该不该被允许在周末观看短视频”进行了讨论。请根据下列表格信息, 以“Should teenagers be allowed to watch short videos on weekends?”为题, 写一篇100词左右的英语短文。 Agree Disagree 短小, 很受欢迎；有意义；学到…… 浪费时间；对……有害；应该…… Your opinions: 1……；2…… 要求： 1. 内容需包括以上表格中的所有要点, 可适当增加细节, 以使行文连贯； 2. 语言表达要准确, 语意要通顺； 3. 词数100左右, 文章开头已给出, 但不计入总词数。 Should teenagers be allowed to watch short videos on weekends?

Recently I’ve had a discussion with my classmates about whether teenagers should be allowed to watch short videos on weekends. Some students agree because videos are short and popular among young people. They think it’s meaningful to learn rich knowledge from them. However, others disagree. They believe it wastes time, which gets in the way of study. Besides, staring at screens for long does harm to our eyesight. They advise us to spend more time reading books or doing outdoor activities. In my opinion, we can watch them properly. First, we should select positive and educational videos. Second, we must limit watching time. Only in this way can we make good use of short videos. 【解析】 【详解】写作步骤 [第一步：审题立意] 确定文体：观点讨论类议论文，全文以一般现在时为主 明确要点：赞同方理由：短视频短小热门、内容有意义、能学到知识；反对方理由：浪费时间、伤害身体/视力、建议多读书做户外活动；自身两点个人观点与合理做法 确定人称：第一人称 (I/we)，第三人称(some students/others) 注意事项：控制词数，不得透露真实信息 [第二步：构思布局] 三段式结构： 开头段：套用题目给出的固定开篇句，点明和同学展开相关话题讨论 主体段：分两层对比陈述双方不同看法 结尾段：阐明自己的两条看法，给出正确使用短视频的可行办法 [第三步：要点展开] 要点一：赞同方观点 赞同原因：short and popular/meaningful to learn rich knowledge/in favor of watching short videos/brief and extremely popular among teenagers/Plenty of short videos carry valuable content/absorb useful knowledge and broaden our horizons easily/learn new skills after busy schoolwork等 要点二：反对方观点 反对原因：disagree/wastes time/gets in the way of study/staring at screens for long does harm to our eyesight/spend more time reading books or doing outdoor activities/hold the opposite opinion/takes up plenty of spare time and disturbs our study plan badly/affects our sleep quality等 要点三：个人看法 具体做法：watch them properly/select positive and educational videos/limit watching time/As far as I am concerned/as long as we use them in a right way/ought to pick positive, instructive videos instead of boring meaningless ones/set a strict time limit to avoid being addicted/take full advantage of short videos without negative influences等 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 荣县中学九年级上学期第三学月英语监测试题 Class: ________ Name: ________ Full marks: 150 Your marks: ________ 第Ⅰ卷（选择题 共100分） 第一部分 听力（共两节, 满分30分） 第一节 （共5小题；每小题1.5分, 满分7.5分） 1.

But still there are some buildings and sites that are called “wonders”. These landmarks are easily recognized by people everywhere. Here are some of them. The Taj Mahal Built: AD 1631 - AD 1653 The Taj Mahal in India is made of white marble and precious stone. About 20,000 people worked to build this giant tomb (墓) for the king’s wife. The Pyramid at Chichen Itza The Mayans (玛雅人) used this pyramid to study the sky and as a huge solar (太阳的) calendar. The Statue (雕像) of Liberty (自由) People everywhere know this statue.

It was created in China. No one knows who first invented it. But history does tell us about one man who improved the process and this man was Cai Lun (62-121), who was born during the Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220). Cai Lun often paid visits to the countryside workshops when he took office as Shang-fang Ling an officer in control of making instruments and weapons. Inspired by women who raised silkworms (蚕), he used many materials to make paper, such as bark (树皮), pieces of net normally used to catch fish, and pieces of used cloth. He broke these materials down into very small pieces and finally produced a kind of paper. In 105, Cai Lun showed his paper-making process and pieces of paper to Emperor He of Han (汉和帝). His way to make paper was strongly praised by the Emperor and it soon got popular. The paper made in this way, known as Cai Hou Paper, was used across the country. Today, Cai Lun is still remembered as the inventor of the paper-making process, one of the Four Great Inventions of China. He is regarded as the father of the modern paper industry. In 2007, Cai Lun was listed as one of the “Best Inventors in Recorded History” by Time magazine. His paper-making process was specially shown in the opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. 29. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A. The process. B. The paper. C. The history. 30. What materials did Cai Lun use to make paper? ①bark ②silk ③wood ④used cloth ⑤pieces of net A. ①④⑤ B. ①②⑤ C. ②③④ 31. Put the events into correct order according to the passage. a. Cai Lun showed his way of making paper. b. Cai Lun visited the countryside workshops. c. Cai Lun got praised by Emperor He of Han. d. Cai Lun made paper with different kinds of materials. A. d-b-a-c B. d-a-b-c C. b-d-a-c 32. What can be the best title of the passage? A. Cai Hou Paper: The Most Widely Used Paper B. Cai Lun: The Inventor of Paper-making Process C. Paper-making Process: One of the Four Great Inventions of China C Many of us have this experience: a piece of music keeps playing in our heads when we are awake. It turns out this can happen during sleep as well. And it can cause problems in getting to sleep and staying asleep. “Our brains continue to process music even when none is playing, including while we are asleep,” said the neuroscientist (神经科学家) Michael Scullin. His research team surveyed 199 people and made a sleep test on 50 volunteers. They wanted to find out how listening to music, especially listening to earworms (洗脑音乐), before bedtime, influenced our sleep. In the survey, people who listened to music during the day were more likely to report nighttime earworms. That then had a bad influence on their sleep quality throughout the night. For the lab test, volunteers were played several earworms and then their sleep quality was tested. Earworms were reported throughout the night. They needed a longer time to fall asleep and woke up more times during the night. We thought that people would have earworms at bedtime when they were trying to fall asleep, but we certainly didn’t know people would regularly(经常地) wake up from sleep with an earworm,” says Michael, “But we saw that in both the survey and the test.” People used to believe that listening to music could help them have a better sleep, because it can relax the body. But Michael and his team suggested that it might be worse for our sleep — that even after the music stops, our brains continue to process it for several hours. Michael suggested avoiding listening to music right before bed to limit the chance of a song taking hold in our minds. “Doing some other activities, like making a list of jobs for the next day, might help clear the mind,” Michael said. 33. Michael and his team did the research to find out ________. A. the influence of earworms on our sleep B. why nighttime earworms happen C. the influence of bad sleep on our health 34. The underlined word “limit” has the closest meaning to “________”. A. increase B. control C. share 35. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs? A. Listening to music before going to bed is good for health. B. People can do some sports to relax their bodies before sleeping. C. The more we listen to music, the worse sleep we may have. 36. What’s the purpose of the passage? A. To help readers improve sleep quality. B. To tell readers about the recent research. C. To ask readers to stop listening to music. D We should all have at least one fire extinguisher (灭火器) somewhere in our house or office building. 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. Have a clear exit route (路线) Before using 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. Call the fire department (消防部门) Even if the fire seems possible to control, 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. 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 (操作) the fire extinguisher. Operate the extinguisher It can be difficult to think clearly during a fire. One way to help you remember how to operate an extinguisher is to remember the four steps of “PASS” process. ●P – Pull: Pull the pin (保险销) on the fire extinguisher. ●A— Aim: Aim at the bottom of the fire. Point the nozzle (喷嘴) at the base of the fire, instead of the flames. ●S— Squeeze: Squeeze (挤压) the handles (手柄) to release the extinguisher chemicals. ●S — Sweep: Sweep the nozzle from side to side until the fire is put out. 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. 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. 37. By writing this guide, the author mainly wants to ________. A. show us how to prevent a fire B. tell us what to do when there is a fire C. teach us how to use a fire extinguisher 38. According to the author, we should call the fire department even if the fire appears manageable because the firefighters can help make sure ________. A. there is a safe exit route B. the fire is really manageable C. the fire has been completely put out 39 The following pictures show the four steps of the“PASS” process. Which is the correct order? A. ④②①③ B. ④①③② C. ②③④① 40. Who may be the most interested in reading the passage? A. A college student who is interested in joining in outdoor activities. B. A middle school student who wants to know about survival (生存) skills. C. A teacher who would like to make a speech about environmental protection. 第二节 阅读填空（共5小题；每小题2分, 满分10分） 补全短文。根据短文内容，从短文后的A—E选择中，选择适当的选项补全短文，并将代表句子的字母填写在答题卡相应题号的位置上。 China is seeing more foreign visitors these days.
