12.You may picture firefighters holding a hose (水管) outside of a burning building,but the Golden Eagles Hotshots don't fight fires quite that way.When they go into action,you may not even see a fire truck.
The Hotshots are firefighters who battle fires in wildness areas.But don't think you'll only find them in their home state California.Wherever there is a national wildfire emergency,the Golden Eagles Hotshots could be there.
But these firefighters don't work the same way as firefighters in a big city.They work in areas where there are a large number of trees,bushes,and grass.They climb up and down steep hills to clear brush and burnable debris(残骸).They sometimes use water,but they often fight fire with fire!
They do that by lighting what are called"backfires,"which are small,controlled fires that burn up fuel in the path of large wildfires.That way,when the wildfire gets there,it has nothing to burn and nowhere to go,because all the burnable fuel has already gone up in smoke.
The Hotshots also clear away fuel using old-fashioned hard work.For example,they use a saw to cut away trees and heavy brush that could catch fire.
Of course there are times when the Golden Eagles Hotshots do have trucks to supply water to the fires.But the water is limited,and these guys have to rely on hard work more than anything.Physical fitness is very important.They have to be in great physical shape to handle steep hills and difficult terrain(地形) while carrying a 60-pound pack.
The Golden Eagles Hotshots definitely work hard for their pay.But thanks to their efforts,many lives have been saved,many houses have not burned,and countless trees are still standing.
67.The firefighters mentioned in the passenger.D
A.do much of their work in California
B.avoid climbing steep hills in their work
C.do their work equipped with advanced tools.
D.carry out their work mostly in forests and mountains.
68.According to the passage,why do the firefighters light"backfires"?D
A.To signal for help.
B.To remove obstacles.
C.To protect trees and bushes.
D.To prevent the fire from spreading.
69.What can we learn about the Golden Eagles Hotshots?B
A.They are firefighters working in big cities.
B.Their work requires physical strength.
C.They are voluntary firefighters working for free.
D.They usually hold a hose to put out the fires.
70.What is the author's attitude towards the Golden Eagles Hotshots?A
A.Appreciative 
B.Doubtful 
C.Worried 
D.Critical.

分析 本文讲了一支与众不同的消防队Golden Eagles Hotshots,他们到底是怎样的呢?请看文章.

解答 67-70.DDBA
67题答案:D考查细节推理,根据文章第三段的They work in areas where there are a large number of trees,bushes,and grass.They climb up and down steep hills to clear brush and burnable debris(残骸).他们在有很多树、丛林和草地的地方工作.他们在陡峭的山上爬上爬下去清理可燃的残骸.可知本题答案为D选项.
68题答案:D考查细节推理,根据文中的That way,when the wildfire gets there,it has nothing to burn and nowhere to go,because all the burnable fuel has already gone up in smoke.那样的话,当夜火到达那里的时候,它就没东西可烧而且无处可走,因为所有的可燃燃料已经以烟的形式消耗了.可知消防员点着backfires的目的是为了"阻止火蔓延",故本题答案为D选项.
69题答案:B考查细节推理,根据文章倒数第二段的They have to be in great physical shape to handle steep hills and difficult terrain(地形) while carrying a 60-pound pack.他们不得不有很好的身体状况来在背负一个重达60磅的背包下处理陡峭的山和复杂的地形.可知本题答案为B选项.
70题答案:A考查细节推理,根据文章最后一句的But thanks to their efforts,many lives have been saved,many houses have not burned,and countless trees are still standing.但是感谢他们的努力付出,许多的生命得到了挽救,很多的房子避免了烧毁,而且无数的树木还在林立.可知作者对于这些消防员是"感激的",故本题答案为A选项.

点评 本文是一篇科教类阅读,题目涉及多道细节理解题,做题时结合原文和题目有针对 性找出相关语句进行仔细分析,结合选项选出正确答案.推理判断也是要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理的分析才能得出正确的答案.

12.Many students have to live with roommates while going to school or university.Having a roommate can be one of the best experiences,or easily one ofthe worst. (36)E
Follow these five tips to avoid the common mistakes that make good roommate relationships worse.
Talk things out.  (37)B  If something happens,sit down with your roommates and have a face-to-face conversation.Complaining about your roommates behind their backs creates nothing but awkward situations and general unhappiness.
(38)A  Some roommates become the best of friends,and some don't.Don't put pressure on yourself or your roommate to reach this level,especially when you first meet.Remember,you are trying to make a new friend,not scare your roommate away.And if your roommate doesn't end up being your best friend,there is no need to worry about it.
Clean up after yourself.Or at least,keep your mess on your side.  (39)C  But being considerate with where you put your own stuff will help you avoid the arguments.
Ask before you take.This applies to food,clothes,supplies and anything else that you don't own.(40)G Even if you both agree to share everything you should still ask.

A.Don't expect to be best friends.
B.Communication is of vital importance.
C.You don't need to keep the room clean and organized all the time.
D.Rooms can be really easy for a mess to pile up.
E.If you want to have a good relationship with your roommate,it all starts with you.
F.Not all roommates can become your best friends.
G.Show your roommate that you have respect for his or her belongings.

13.[1]A new study by the scientists at Pennsylvania State University,finds that children who take a nap(小睡) when they are 4 and 5 years old,are less likely to be hyperactive (活动过度的) or experience depression (抑郁).
[2]The results of the study showed that kids between the ages of 4 and 5 years,who discontinued to take daytime naps,showed higher levels of hyperactivity,anxiety and depression,compared to their fellow kids who _________ at this point of their lives.In their research,the researchers were happy to show the importance of taking naps for perfect daytime functioning in young kids.
[3]It all depends on every individual case when children are ready not to take naps any more,said an author of die study,Dr.Brian Crosby,doctor of psychology at Pennsylvania State University.Dr.Crosby suggested that parents include a quiet"rest"time in the daily schedule of their children to allow kids to nap if needed.

[5]Dr.Crosby hopes that the new findings will encourage other researchers to study the ways in which napping influences daytime performances in children.
