一、
Firefighters
or firemen play an important role in our daily
life. In some places,
firefighters
use
watchtowers
to
look
for
smoke
and
fires,
although
they
get
a
fire
report by
telephone. A high tower is still very u 67 for
watching and guarding
a place. Fire
fighters also make it a place for practice. They
learn how to p 68
out fires from
burning buildings. They try to c 69 up the
outside of the tower
as
fast
as
possible. They
carry
water
hoses
up
to
the
fire.
They
practise
carrying
imaginable victims down f 70 high
ladders.
There
are
reasons
that
firefighters
are
called
for
help.
Maybe
a
building
or
a
forest
is o 71 fire. A train accident
happens and people are t 72 inside. Still,
people need to be rescued from floods
or an earthquake. Whenever there is an
emergency situation, they can be seen f
73 there.
Being
a
fire
fighter
needs
a
lot
of
t 74 .
In
the
first
place,
firefighters
should
know
how
to
educate
the
community
（社区）
by
visiting
schools,
community
centres
and
people
in
their
own
homes
to
p 75 fire
and
accidents
from
starting.
They
have
to
learn
how
to
deal
with
different
dangerous
situations.
Above
all,
it’s
necessary
for firefighters
to exercise every day to be h 76 and
strong.
二、
Man has a big brain. He can think and s
72 languages. Scientists once thought
that
man
isn’t
the
same
as
animals
b 73
man
can
think
and
learn.
They
know
now
that dogs, monkeys and
birds can learn, too.
They
are
beginning
to
u 74 that
men
are
different
from
animals
because
they
can
speak.
Animals
can’t
speak.
They
make
much
n 75 when
they
are
afraid,
or
unhappy.
Apes(
猿
)
can
learn
some
things
more
quickly
than
man.
One
or
two
of
them
have
learned
a few words. But
they can not join words to make s 76 . They
cannot think l 77
us because they
have no language. Language is a wonderful thing.
Man has been a
78 to build a modern
world because he has language. Every child can
speak his
own language very w 79
when he is four or five, b 80 no animals learn
to
speak.
How
do
children
learn
it?
Scientists
don’t
really
know
w 81 happens
inside
our
body when we speak. They
only know that man can speak because he has a
brain.
三、
Our dog, Rex, used to sit outside our
front gate and bark. Every time he wanted
to come into the garden he would bark u
72 someone opened the gate. As the
neighbours
complained
of
the
noise,
my
husband
s 73
weeks
training
him
to
press
his paw
on the latch (
门闩
) to let
himself in. Rex soon became good at o 74 the
gate.
H 75 ,
when
I
was
going
out
shopping
last
week,
I
n 76
him
in
the
garden
near
the gate. This time he
was barking so that someone would let him o 77
! Since
then, he has developed another
bad h 78 . As soon as he opens the gate from the
outside, he comes i 79 the garden
and waits until the gate shuts. Then he sits
and barks until someone lets him out.
After this he immediately lets himself in
and begins barking a 80 . Yesterday
my husband removed the gate and Rex got so
a 81 that he disappeared.
Since then, we have not seen him.
四、
Elizabeth
lived with her six children in a small house. One
winter, there was a
big flood and quite
a f 72
houses were washed away, but
Elizabeth’s house was
high e 73 to
escape it.
Elizabeth took in
one of the families which had lost everything. She
shared her
home until the family could
build a 74
house. Elizabeth’s
friends could not
understand
w 75 she
wanted
to
give
so
much
when
she
already
had
so
many
children
to
support.
“Well, ” Elizabeth
e 76
to her friends, “at
the end of World War I, there
was a
poor woman in a town in Germany. Her husband had
been killed in the war and
she had a
lot of children, just like
m 77
now.”
“The day before Christmas, this woman
said to her children, ‘We won’t be
a
78
to
have
much
for
Christmas.
I’m
going
to
get
just
one
p 79
for
us
all.
Now
I’ll
go
and
get
it.’
She
came
back
w 80
a
little
girl
who
had
no
parents.
‘Here’s
our present, ’she
said to her own children.
The
children
were
more
than
excited
to
get
such
a
present.
They
welcomed
the
little
girl warmly, and she
g 81
up as their sister. I was that
Christmas present.”
