   To extinguish (熄灭) different kinds of fires, several types of fire extinguishers have been invented. They must be ready for immediate use when fire breaks out. Most portable (手提式的) kinds operate for less than a minute, so they are useful only on small fires. The law requires ships, trains, buses and planes to carry extinguishers.

    Since fuel, oxygen (氧气) and heat must be present in order for fire to exist, one or more of these things must be removed or reduced to extinguish a fire. If the heat is reduced by cooling the material below a certain temperature, the fire goes out. The cooling method is the most common way to put out a fire. Water is the best cooling material because it is low in cost and easy to get.

    Another method of extinguishing fire is by cutting off the oxygen. This is usually done by covering the fire with sand, steam or some other things. A blanket may be used do cover a small fire.

    A third method is called separation, which includes removing the fuel, or material easy to burn, from a fire, so that it can find no fuel.

    The method that is used to put out a fire depends upon the type of fire. Fires have been grouped in three classes. Fires in wood, paper, cloth and the like are called Class A fires. These materials usually help keep the fire on. Such fires can be stopped most readily by cooling with water.

68. If a fire breaks out on a bus, which of the follow should be ready there for you to use?

A. Sand           B. Water         C. A blanket.           D. An extinguisher.

69. To cover a small piece of burning wood with a basin in order to stop the fire is an example of         .

A. separating the fire                                 B. reducing the heat

C. removing the fuel                                 D. cutting off the oxygen

70. In choosing how to put out a fire, we should first be clear about          .

A. when it breaks out                                B. how it comes about

C. what kind it is                                       D. where it takes place

71. What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?

A. Another class of fires                                   B. Another type of extinguishers

C. How fires break out.                                 D. How fires can be prevented.

解析:

68.解析:这是一道推理题。根据第一段最后一句“The law requires ships, trains buses and planes to carry extinguishers”说明在公共汽车上有灭火器,公共汽车上着火应该用灭火器。

69.解析:这是一道细节推断题。根据第三段“Another method of extinguishing fire is by cutting the oxygen. This is usually done by covering the fire with sand, steam or some other things”用脸盆盖上烧着的木头显然是截断氧气的方法。

70.解析:这是一道细节推断题。根据“The method that is used to put out a fire depends upon the type of fire.”可知要想判断用什么方法,首先要弄清着火的类型,所以选C.

71.解析:这是一道推理题。最后一段描述了“Fires have been grouped in three classes.”然后讲述了第一种,所以后面很可能描述另外两种。所以选A.

Husband and wife by Arrangement

   Some Japanese still get married by parents’ arrangement. Yoshio and Hiromi Tanaka, a young Japanese couple living in the United States, told the story of their arranged marriage. “We didn’t marry for love in the western sense. We got married in the traditional Japanese way. Our parents arranged our marriage through a matchmaker(媒人). In Japan we believe that marriage is something affecting the whole family rather than a matter concerning only the young couple. So we think it is very important to match people according to their social background, education and so on. When our parents thought it was time for us to get married, they went to a local matchmaker and asked her for some suggestions. We discuss the details and looked at the photos she sent, and then our parents asked her to arrange a marriage interview for the two of us.

   A Japanese marriage interview is held in a public place, such as a hotel or a restaurant, and is attended by the boy and the girl, their parents and the matchmaker. Information about the couple and their families is exchanged over a cup of tea or a meal. Then the boy and the girl are left alone for a short time to get to know each other. When they returned home they have to tell the matchmaker whether they want to meet again or not.

   Yoshio continued, “When our parents realized we were serious about each other, they started to make arrangements for our wedding. My family paid the marriage money to Hiromi’s. This is money to help pay for the wedding ceremony and for setting up the house afterwards. We also gave her family a beautiful ornament to put in the best room of their house, so everyone knew that Hiromi was going to marry.”

A.a sign showing the love between them
