阅读下面四篇短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。
A
How to Survive a Tsunami
A tsunami is a series of huge ocean waves caused by underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions or landslides. These waves can travel across the sea at over 800 kilometers per hour, and they grow much taller when they reach shallow coasts. Many coastal towns have suffered great losses because people did not know early warning signs.
First, you need to learn the natural warning signals. If you see the sea water suddenly pull back far away from the shore, that is a clear sign of a coming tsunami. Do not go down to pick up fish or shells. Run to high land at once. Another sign is a loud roar from the ocean, like a train or a plane flying low.
Second, know the official warning system. Local governments will send messages through phones, TV and radio when a tsunami danger is confirmed. If you hear the warning siren, you must follow the evacuation routes marked on streets. Do not drive cars in a hurry—traffic jams will stop you from escaping. Walking or riding bikes is faster in such situations.
Third, prepare an emergency bag before disaster hits. The bag should hold bottles of water, dry biscuits, a first-aid kit, a flashlight and a battery radio. Keep it near your front door so you can take it in seconds.
Many tourists make a dangerous mistake: they stay to take photos of the unusual sea. Remember that a tsunami has several waves. The second or third wave is often bigger and more powerful than the first one. Even if the water goes back, do not return to the beach until the government says it is safe.
Scientists work hard to build tsunami early warning stations around the world, but personal knowledge still saves most lives. Learning these simple rules can keep you and your family safe by the sea.

The Power of Volcanoes
Volcanoes are amazing but dangerous forces of nature. A volcano is a mountain with an opening deep inside the Earth. Hot melted rock called magma rises up and breaks out as lava when pressure builds up under the ground. When a volcano erupts, it sends lava, ash and poisonous gas into the air.
There are three main types of volcanoes. Active volcanoes erupt often, like Mount Kilauea in Hawaii. It has small eruptions almost every year. Dormant volcanoes sleep for hundreds of years but may wake up one day. Mount Fuji in Japan is a famous dormant volcano. Extinct volcanoes will never erupt again, because their underground magma source has disappeared.
Volcanoes bring both harm and good to humans. The bad sides are easy to see. Thick ash clouds block sunlight for weeks, making the air hard to breathe. Fast-moving lava burns houses, farms and forests. Poison gas can make people sick or even lose their lives. Big volcanic eruptions can change the world’s weather for a long time.
However, volcanoes also create valuable things. Lava breaks down into rich soil after many years. Farmers love volcanic soil because it helps fruit and vegetables grow bigger and sweeter. Many hot springs come from volcanic heat, and people visit them to relax. Some volcanic areas have precious stones and minerals that people use for jewelry and building materials.
Scientists called volcanologists watch volcanoes every day. They use special machines to check small earthquakes under mountains, which are early signs of eruptions. They also measure gas coming out of the volcano top. With this data, they can tell local people to move away before a big eruption happens.
Next time you read about a volcano, do not only fear its power. Try to understand that it is also a gift from our planet, creating new land and a rich earth for all living things.

A Boy’s Experience in a Sandstorm
Last spring, I visited my grandparents who live in a northern village. I never knew sandstorms could be so terrible until that afternoon.
I was helping Grandpa plant young trees in the field when the sky turned yellow in just ten minutes. Grandpa looked up and shouted, “Quick! Run back home, a big sandstorm is coming!” We dropped our tools and ran as fast as we could. Strong wind blew sand into my eyes, and I could barely see the road in front of me.
When we got inside the house, Grandpa locked all windows and covered the doors with thick cloth. The wind hit the walls loudly, like thousands of stones knocking outside. Fine sand went through small gaps and covered the table, chairs and floor in a thin yellow layer. Grandma took out wet towels and told us to cover our noses and mouths, so we would not breathe in sand dust.
The storm lasted for nearly two hours. After the wind stopped, we walked outside to check the village. Many small trees we planted were blown over. Some farmers’ vegetable fields were covered with sand. The street was full of fallen branches and plastic rubbish.
Grandpa told me that sandstorms used to happen many times every year when he was young. Now the village plants lots of trees on the hills around the area. Trees can hold soil and stop wind from carrying sand. The number of sandstorms has become much smaller in recent years.
That night, I wrote down everything I saw in my diary. I learned that human activities change nature, and we can also protect nature by planting more green plants. If everyone takes action, natural disasters like sandstorms will become less frequent.

School Safety Lesson: Lightning Safety
Lightning is one of the most dangerous natural forces. Every year, lightning hurts hundreds of people around the world, and most accidents happen outdoors during summer thunderstorms. Our school held a special safety class to teach students how to stay away from lightning danger.
Ms. Lee, our science teacher, led the lesson. First, she told us wrong ideas many people believe. Some students thought rubber shoes could stop lightning, but Ms. Lee said rubber cannot fully protect you. Others thought hiding under a single big tree was safe, but trees attract lightning easily. If lightning hits a tree, the electricity will spread out and hurt anyone nearby.
Then she shared clear outdoor rules. If you hear thunder while you are outside, go into a building or a closed car right away. Do not stay in open areas like playgrounds, lakes or hills. Put away metal things such as bikes, umbrellas and baseball bats, because metal carries electricity fast.
For indoor safety, students also learned important rules. When lightning flashes outside, do not touch water taps, washing machines or electric wires. Stop using landline phones. Stay away from windows and metal window frames. It is safe to use mobile phones only if you sit far from walls and windows.
At the end of class, we watched a short video about lightning accidents and correct self-protection skills. We also made safety posters to put up in our classroom. Ms. Lee said, “Thunderstorms come fast in summer. Knowing these rules can save your life when lightning strikes.”
I used to think lightning was just beautiful bright flashes in the sky. After this class, I understand its hidden danger, and I will follow all the safety tips whenever a thunderstorm comes.
根据材料内容,选择最佳答案。
36. When do most lightning accidents happen?
A. Winter snow days B. Summer thunderstorms
C. Spring sandstorms D. Autumn foggy mornings
37. Which idea about lightning is WRONG?
A. Rubber shoes can keep you safe from lightning
B. Big trees easily attract lightning strikes
C. Closed cars can protect you outside
D. Metal objects carry electricity quickly
38. What should you do when thunder comes while you are outside?
A. Stand under a tall oak tree B. Lie down on open grassland
C. Enter a closed building quickly D. Hold a metal umbrella above your head
39. Which thing can you touch during lightning at home?
A. Water tap B. Mobile phone far from windows
C. Washing machine D. Landline telephone
40. What is the main purpose of the school safety class?
A. To explain how lightning forms in clouds

Last month, our science class took a field trip to study wildfires, a terrible force of nature. Our teacher Mr. Clark brought us to a forest area that was ____41____ by a small wildfire last year.
When we walked into the forest, I could still see black burnt tree trunks everywhere. Mr. Clark told us two main ____42____ of wildfires: natural causes and human mistakes. Natural wildfires often start from lightning. When lightning hits dry grass or dead leaves, it can light a small fire in seconds. More wildfires come from human carelessness. People leave campfires burning, throw away cigarette ends or play with matches in dry woods. These small mistakes can ____43____ huge fires in hot summer days.
We met a forest fire fighter named Mr. Wang. He shared his ____44____ fighting wildfires. He said wind is the biggest enemy of fire fighters. Strong wind makes fire spread faster and changes its ____45____ suddenly. Sometimes the fire runs toward workers without warning. Fire fighters carry special heavy coats to keep themselves ____46____ from high heat and smoke.
Mr. Wang also told us about fire prevention work. Every spring and summer, workers clear dry dead plants from forest roads. They build fire breaks—wide empty paths with no trees. If a fire starts, it cannot cross these paths easily. Villagers nearby learn fire safety rules every year, so they know how to ____47____ small fires before they become big.
One student asked if wildfires only bring bad results. Mr. Wang shook his head. Some plants ____48____ fire to grow. Their seeds can only break open after high heat from wildfires. New young trees and flowers will grow on the burnt land one or two years later. The forest can get new life after a fire.
____49____ wildfires have good sides, we still need to try our best to stop man-made fires. Summer is hot and ____50____, so anything easy to catch fire must be put away carefully. If you see someone starting a fire in the forest, ask them to stop right away. Small things can ____51____ big forests easily.
Before we left, Mr. Clark told us when a wildfire happens outside, we should run away ____52____ to the opposite direction of wind. Never run uphill, because fire climbs hills much faster. We should also cover our mouths and noses to stop breathing smoke.
On the bus back to school, I looked at the green hills far away. I realized that all forces of nature ask us to ____53____ them, not fight against them without knowledge. We need to live peacefully with the natural world around us and protect forests away from ____54____. Knowing more about ____55____ helps us stay safe and protect nature well.

64. stay 65. noise
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了地震发生时的安全规则,包括室内避险、室外避险和震后注意事项,旨在指导人们在地震中保护自己。
【56题详解】
句意:当地球开始震动时,许多人感到害怕。此处需要动词原形作宾语,表示“震动”,shake符合。begin to do sth.表示“开始做某事”,后接动词原形shake。
【57题详解】
句意:在地震发生前了解安全规则很重要。此处修饰名词rules,应用safe名词形式safety构成固定搭配safety rules“安全规则”,贴合地震避险主题,故填safety。
【58题详解】
句意:如果地震发生时你在房屋内部,不要快速向外跑。此处需要一个介词,在句中作地点状语,描述人所处的位置。后文给出的建议是do not run out quickly,对应前提是人在房屋内部,故填inside。
【59题详解】
句意:找一张坚固的桌子,躲在下面保护你的头部。此处需要一个动词原形,与前文的Find构成并列祈使句的谓语,表示避险的动作。hide under sth.表示 “躲在某物下面”,与语境匹配,故填hide。
【60题详解】
句意:不要使用电梯,因为电力可能会突然中断。此处需要一个副词,在句中作状语修饰动词短语cut off,表示断电发生的状态。修饰动词短语要用副词形式,sudden的副词形式为suddenly。
【61题详解】
句意:如果你在户外开阔的地面上,要远离高楼、树木和电线。此处需要一个名词,在句中作介词on的宾语,表示户外的场地。on open ground是固定表达,意为“在开阔的地面上”,对应前文的outdoors场景,符合户外避险的语境,故填ground。
【62题详解】
句意:强烈的地震能轻易损毁这些建筑结构。此处需要一个形容词,在句中作定语修饰名词earthquake,表示地震的强度等级。heavy可表示“猛烈的、强度大的”,用来修饰地震符合语义。
【63题详解】
句意:晃动停止后,收听广播获取官方预警信息。此处需要一个名词,在句中作介词for的宾语,表示收听广播获取的内容。warning表示 “警告、警示”,此处用复数形式warnings表泛指。
【64题详解】
句意:记住保持冷静,不要大喊大叫。此处需要一个动词原形,构成remember to do sth.结构,与形容词calm搭配表示维持某种状态。stay calm是固定短语,意为“保持冷静”,是地震后的重要注意事项,也呼应后文 “不要大喊” 的要求。 其他动词如hide、shake等无法与calm搭配表状态。
【65题详解】
句意:过多的噪音会让你错过救援人员的重要指令。此处需要一个不可数名词,在句中作主语,被too much修饰。前文提到do not shout,原因是过多的噪音会让人错过救援人员的指令,noise是不可数名词,意为“噪音”。 其他名词如warning、ground等不可被too much修饰。
第二节
阅读短文,根据括号内词形适当形式填空,使短文通顺、意思完整。
Last week our class watched a video about floods. The teacher told us flood ____66____ (happen) more often in rainy seasons. When rain falls ____67____ (heavy) for several days, river water will rise fast.
We learned some useful self-protection skills. First, move to high places as soon as you get flood ____68____ (warn). Second, do not walk or drive through running water. The water can carry you away easily even if it looks shallow. Third, prepare food and clean water before flood ____69____ (come).
At the end of the class, we wrote down our feelings. I think everyone should learn these skills to keep ____70____ (they) away from flood danger.
【答案】66. happens
67. heavily
68. warnings
69. comes 70. themselves
【解析】
【导语】本文讲述了作者班级观看洪水视频后所学的自我保护技能,包括及时转移到高处、不在流水中行走或驾车以及提前准备食物和水,最后强调学习这些技能对保障安全的重要性。
【66题详解】
句意:老师告诉我们洪水在雨季发生得更频繁。主句“told”是过去时,但宾语从句描述客观事实(洪水在雨季更频繁),需用一般现在时;主语“flood”是单数,故填“happens”。
【67题详解】
句意:当大雨猛烈地下了几天后,河水会迅速上涨。修饰动词“falls”需用副词。提示词heavy的副词形式为heavily,意为“猛烈地、大量地”。
【68题详解】
句意:首先,一旦你收到洪水警告,就尽快转移到高处。“get”后接名词作宾语,“warn”的名词形式是“warning”;此处用复数“warnings”,因为实际场景中收到的洪水预警通常是多条通知,用复数更符合真实语境(“收到洪水预警”)。
【69题详解】
句意:第三,在洪水到来之前准备好食物和干净的水。“before”引导时间状语从句,主语“flood”作不可数名词,描述一般情况用一般现在时,comes符合题意。
【70题详解】
句意:我认为每个人都应该学习这些技能来保护他们自己远离洪水危险。“keep oneself away from”是固定搭配,意为“让自己远离”;括号给的是“they”,需变为反身代词,主语“everyone”为不定代词,故用“themselves”(让他们自己远离)。
五、补全对话(共5小题,每小题2分,共10分)
根据下面的对话情景,从下面的选项中给每个空选择一个适当的句子,使对话的意思连贯、完整。
A: Hi, Lisa! Did you join the natural disaster speech competition last Friday?

F. How can we get away from wildfire smoke?
G. I’m worried about my family living near the sea.
【答案】71. B 72. G 73. A 74. C 75. E
【解析】
【导语】本文是围绕台风主题展开的一则对话,A询问Lisa是否参加了上周五自然灾害主题演讲比赛,两人依次探讨台风形成地点、台风来临前后避险措施、台风期间公共场所运营情况,最后A感谢Lisa分享避险知识。
【71题详解】
前文提到演讲主题是台风,B项“I shared lots of typhoon safety knowledge in my speech.”进一步补充了演讲内容,承接自然,并引出下文A对台风的感叹及后续关于安全知识的问答。
【72题详解】
上文提到台风会移向沿海城市,后文紧接着询问台风来临前人们该怎么做,G项“I’m worried about my family living near the sea.”承接台风向沿海移动的内容,自然引出避险问题。
【73题详解】
前文介绍需要固定户外物品,A项“It’s dangerous to leave things outside.”是对上一句建议原因的解释,逻辑连贯,补充说明了预防措施的必要性。
【74题详解】
下文以“Yes”开头,并提到学校和商店会关闭,C项“Will public places stop working during typhoons?”是一般疑问句,且内容与答语完全对应。
【75题详解】
前文感谢Lisa分享知识,下文Lisa说不客气,并表示学习这类知识很有必要,E项“I think these tips can help me stay safe someday.”承接感谢语境,收尾自然。

Learn to Protect Ourselves from Natural Disasters
We have learned two common natural disasters at school: earthquakes and floods.
When an earthquake hits, hide under a strong desk and protect your head. Never jump from buildings or use lifts. If a flood comes, move to high ground quickly and avoid walking through water. Also, turn off gas and electricity before leaving.
I think disaster self-protection knowledge is important because these skills can save lives. Our school often holds safety drills to help us practice. Everyone should take them seriously and share them with family. Then we can all stay safe in emergencies.

A
How to Survive a Tsunami
A tsunami is a series of huge ocean waves caused by underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions or landslides. These waves can travel across the sea at over 800 kilometers per hour, and they grow much taller when they reach shallow coasts. Many coastal towns have suffered great losses because people did not know early warning signs.
First, you need to learn the natural warning signals. If you see the sea water suddenly pull back far away from the shore, that is a clear sign of a coming tsunami. Do not go down to pick up fish or shells. Run to high land at once. Another sign is a loud roar from the ocean, like a train or a plane flying low.
Second, know the official warning system. Local governments will send messages through phones, TV and radio when a tsunami danger is confirmed. If you hear the warning siren, you must follow the evacuation routes marked on streets. Do not drive cars in a hurry—traffic jams will stop you from escaping. Walking or riding bikes is faster in such situations.
Third, prepare an emergency bag before disaster hits. The bag should hold bottles of water, dry biscuits, a first-aid kit, a flashlight and a battery radio. Keep it near your front door so you can take it in seconds.
Many tourists make a dangerous mistake: they stay to take photos of the unusual sea. Remember that a tsunami has several waves. The second or third wave is often bigger and more powerful than the first one. Even if the water goes back, do not return to the beach until the government says it is safe.
Scientists work hard to build tsunami early warning stations around the world, but personal knowledge still saves most lives. Learning these simple rules can keep you and your family safe by the sea.
根据材料内容,选择最佳答案。
21. What can cause a tsunami?
A. Heavy rain and strong wind. B. Underwater earthquakes.
C. Big wildfires on land. D. Heavy snowstorms.
22. What does the sea do before a tsunami arrives?
A. It turns dark blue quickly. B. It makes soft singing sounds.
C. It moves far back from the beach. D. It becomes warm suddenly.
23. Why shouldn’t people drive cars during evacuation?
A. Cars may run out of fuel. B. Traffic jams slow down escape.
C. Flood water will wash cars away. D. Roads are covered with sand.
24. Which thing is NOT needed in the emergency bag?
A. Fresh fruit. B. Flashlight. C. Drinking water. D. First-aid kit.
25. What is the main idea of the text?
A. How scientists watch tsunami waves. B. Different kinds of natural disasters.
C. Useful ways to stay safe from tsunami. D. Tourists’ mistakes on coastal beaches.
B
The Power of Volcanoes
Volcanoes are amazing but dangerous forces of nature. A volcano is a mountain with an opening deep inside the Earth. Hot melted rock called magma rises up and breaks out as lava when pressure builds up under the ground. When a volcano erupts, it sends lava, ash and poisonous gas into the air.
There are three main types of volcanoes. Active volcanoes erupt often, like Mount Kilauea in Hawaii. It has small eruptions almost every year. Dormant volcanoes sleep for hundreds of years but may wake up one day. Mount Fuji in Japan is a famous dormant volcano. Extinct volcanoes will never erupt again, because their underground magma source has disappeared.
Volcanoes bring both harm and good to humans. The bad sides are easy to see. Thick ash clouds block sunlight for weeks, making the air hard to breathe. Fast-moving lava burns houses, farms and forests. Poison gas can make people sick or even lose their lives. Big volcanic eruptions can change the world’s weather for a long time.
However, volcanoes also create valuable things. Lava breaks down into rich soil after many years. Farmers love volcanic soil because it helps fruit and vegetables grow bigger and sweeter. Many hot springs come from volcanic heat, and people visit them to relax. Some volcanic areas have precious stones and minerals that people use for jewelry and building materials.
Scientists called volcanologists watch volcanoes every day. They use special machines to check small earthquakes under mountains, which are early signs of eruptions. They also measure gas coming out of the volcano top. With this data, they can tell local people to move away before a big eruption happens.
Next time you read about a volcano, do not only fear its power. Try to understand that it is also a gift from our planet, creating new land and a rich earth for all living things.
根据材料内容,选择最佳答案。
26. What is lava?
A. Poison gas from volcanoes. B. Melted rock from inside Earth.
C. Thick ash clouds in the sky. D. Small stones on mountain tops.
27. Which volcano is dormant?
A. Mount Kilauea. B. Mount Fuji.
C. All Hawaii volcanoes. D. No example in text.
28. What is one advantage of volcanic land?
A. It stops heavy rain. B. It produces rich farm soil.
C. It cools down the whole world. D. It makes safe living houses.
29. How do volcanologists predict eruptions?
A. By watching the color of clouds. B. By counting local wild animals.
C. By checking underground small quakes. D. By measuring daily air temperature.
30. What is the writer’s attitude to volcanoes?
A. Only scary and harmful. B. Completely useful for humans.
C. Dangerous but also valuable. D. Not important for the earth.

A Boy’s Experience in a Sandstorm
Last spring, I visited my grandparents who live in a northern village. I never knew sandstorms could be so terrible until that afternoon.
I was helping Grandpa plant young trees in the field when the sky turned yellow in just ten minutes. Grandpa looked up and shouted, “Quick! Run back home, a big sandstorm is coming!” We dropped our tools and ran as fast as we could. Strong wind blew sand into my eyes, and I could barely see the road in front of me.
When we got inside the house, Grandpa locked all windows and covered the doors with thick cloth. The wind hit the walls loudly, like thousands of stones knocking outside. Fine sand went through small gaps and covered the table, chairs and floor in a thin yellow layer. Grandma took out wet towels and told us to cover our noses and mouths, so we would not breathe in sand dust.
The storm lasted for nearly two hours. After the wind stopped, we walked outside to check the village. Many small trees we planted were blown over. Some farmers’ vegetable fields were covered with sand. The street was full of fallen branches and plastic rubbish.
Grandpa told me that sandstorms used to happen many times every year when he was young. Now the village plants lots of trees on the hills around the area. Trees can hold soil and stop wind from carrying sand. The number of sandstorms has become much smaller in recent years.
That night, I wrote down everything I saw in my diary. I learned that human activities change nature, and we can also protect nature by planting more green plants. If everyone takes action, natural disasters like sandstorms will become less frequent.
根据材料内容,选择最佳答案。
31. Where did the story take place?
A. A southern seaside town. B. A northern village.
C. A big mountain city. D. A western rainforest.
32. What was the writer doing when the sandstorm came?
A. Watering flowers in the garden. B. Planting trees with Grandpa.
C. Reading books in the house. D. Collecting stones in the field.
33. Why did Grandma give them wet towels?
A. To clean dirty faces after work. B. To keep their hands warm.
C. To stop them breathing sand dust. D. To wipe the sand off furniture.
34. What helps cut down sandstorms in the village?
A. Building tall walls around fields. B. Planting plenty of trees on hills.
C. Covering land with plastic cloth. D. Digging deep holes to hold sand.
35. What lesson did the writer get from the sandstorm?
A. Sandstorms only happen in spring.
B. People can protect nature with small actions.
C. Old villages have no ways to fight sand.
D. Wind is the most powerful force of nature.

School Safety Lesson: Lightning Safety
Lightning is one of the most dangerous natural forces. Every year, lightning hurts hundreds of people around the world, and most accidents happen outdoors during summer thunderstorms. Our school held a special safety class to teach students how to stay away from lightning danger.
Ms. Lee, our science teacher, led the lesson. First, she told us wrong ideas many people believe. Some students thought rubber shoes could stop lightning, but Ms. Lee said rubber cannot fully protect you. Others thought hiding under a single big tree was safe, but trees attract lightning easily. If lightning hits a tree, the electricity will spread out and hurt anyone nearby.
Then she shared clear outdoor rules. If you hear thunder while you are outside, go into a building or a closed car right away. Do not stay in open areas like playgrounds, lakes or hills. Put away metal things such as bikes, umbrellas and baseball bats, because metal carries electricity fast.
For indoor safety, students also learned important rules. When lightning flashes outside, do not touch water taps, washing machines or electric wires. Stop using landline phones. Stay away from windows and metal window frames. It is safe to use mobile phones only if you sit far from walls and windows.
At the end of class, we watched a short video about lightning accidents and correct self-protection skills. We also made safety posters to put up in our classroom. Ms. Lee said, “Thunderstorms come fast in summer. Knowing these rules can save your life when lightning strikes.”
I used to think lightning was just beautiful bright flashes in the sky. After this class, I understand its hidden danger, and I will follow all the safety tips whenever a thunderstorm comes.
根据材料内容,选择最佳答案。
36. When do most lightning accidents happen?
A. Winter snow days B. Summer thunderstorms
C. Spring sandstorms D. Autumn foggy mornings
37. Which idea about lightning is WRONG?
A. Rubber shoes can keep you safe from lightning
B. Big trees easily attract lightning strikes
C. Closed cars can protect you outside
D. Metal objects carry electricity quickly
38. What should you do when thunder comes while you are outside?
A. Stand under a tall oak tree B. Lie down on open grassland
C. Enter a closed building quickly D. Hold a metal umbrella above your head
39. Which thing can you touch during lightning at home?
A. Water tap B. Mobile phone far from windows
C. Washing machine D. Landline telephone
40. What is the main purpose of the school safety class?
A. To explain how lightning forms in clouds
B. To teach students lightning self-protection skills
C. To make beautiful safety posters for the school
D. To watch videos about different natural disasters
三、完形填空(共15小题,每小题1分,共15分)
先通读短文,掌握其大意,然后从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个可以填入相应空白处的最佳答案。
Last month, our science class took a field trip to study wildfires, a terrible force of nature. Our teacher Mr. Clark brought us to a forest area that was ____41____ by a small wildfire last year.
When we walked into the forest, I could still see black burnt tree trunks everywhere. Mr. Clark told us two main ____42____ of wildfires: natural causes and human mistakes. Natural wildfires often start from lightning. When lightning hits dry grass or dead leaves, it can light a small fire in seconds. More wildfires come from human carelessness. People leave campfires burning, throw away cigarette ends or play with matches in dry woods. These small mistakes can ____43____ huge fires in hot summer days.
We met a forest fire fighter named Mr. Wang. He shared his ____44____ fighting wildfires. He said wind is the biggest enemy of fire fighters.
