【题目】Each year more than 2,500 people die and 12,600 are injured in home fires just in the United States, with direct property(财产)loss because of home fires at about $7.3 billion every year. Every day Americans experience the horror of fires, but most people don’t understand fires.

To protect yourself, it is important to learn something about home fires.

In less than 30 seconds a small flame can get completely out of control and turn into a major fire. It only takes minutes for thick black smoke to fill a house or for it to be in flames. Most deadly fires occur in the home when people are asleep. If you realize a fire, you won’t have time to take valuables because the fire spreads too quickly and the smoke is too thick. The fire uses up the oxygen you need and produces smoke and poisonous gases that kill. Breathing even small amounts of smoke and toxic gases can make you tired and sleepy, and short of breath. The smoke can cause you to be a deep sleeper before the flames reach your door. You may not wake up in time to escape.

Room temperatures in a fire can be 100 degrees at floor level and rise to 600 degrees at eye level. Breathing in this super-hot air will burn your lungs. It can melt clothes to your skin. In five minutes, a room can get so hot that everything in it starts to burn at once.

Fires are bright at first, but quickly produce black smoke and complete darkness. If you wake up to a fire you may be blinded, confused about where you are or which direction you should go and unable to find your way around the home you’ve lived in for years.

Only when we know the true nature of fires can we prepare our families and ourselves.

1How does the first paragraph develop?

A. By raising questions. B. By giving examples.

C. By expressing opinions. D. By listing reasons.

2What can we infer from the third paragraph?

A. It is necessary to escape in time.

B. It is important to find poisonous gases.

C. It is impossible to keep away from smoke.

D. It is dangerous to sleep away from the door.

3How does black smoke trouble us?

A. Getting us lose our ways.

B. Making our faces turn black.

C. Causing us to feel hopeless.

D. Forcing us to walk around the home.

4What is the passage mainly telling us?

A. Different processes of home fires.

B. Some basic knowledge of home fires.

【题目】阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

Getting up early has been seen as a good habit since ancient times. Many years ago, people thought that if we went to bed early and got up early, we would be energetic (精力充沛的) the whole day. So, getting up early is of great importance to us all.

In fact, morning is the best time of a day. In the morning, the air is the freshest and people are usually in the best condition. Many of us may have the experiences that we memorize some things more quickly and correctly in the morning than any other time of the day. And it is certain that we find it easier to understand what we learn. If we get up early and do some morning exercises or only take a short walk in the morning, without doubt we can build up our bodies and become much healthier. Also we will have enough time to make a plan and get ready for our work or study of the day if we get up early. For example, if everyone in the family gets up early, the wife will have enough time to prepare the breakfast for the whole family. Children will have enough time to catch the school bus, and the husband will never forget to change his dirty shirt. Everything is in order. However, if we get up late, we’ll probably have to do everything in a hurry.

Getting up early is such a good habit that we should try our best to keep it. If we stick to (坚持) getting up early every day, we will certainly benefit a lot from it.
