Each year more than 2 500 people die and 12 600 are injured in home fires just in the United States, with direct property loss because of home fires at about $ 7.3 billion. 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（火焰） 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 happen 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（氧气） you need and produces smoke and poisonous（有毒的） gases that kill. Breathing even small amounts of smoke and poisonous 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 in 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.
24. How does the first paragraph develop?
A. By raising questions. B. By listing reasons.
C. By expressing opinions. D. By giving examples.
25. What 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 stay away from the door.
26. How does black smoke trouble us?
A. Causing us to feel hopeless.
B. Making our faces turn black.
C. Getting us to lose our ways.
D. Forcing us to walk around the home.
27. What does the text mainly tell us?
A. Different processes of home fires.
B. Some basic knowledge of home fires.
C. Great damage of home fires in the USA.
D. Some good ways to prevent home fires.
C
We can learn a lot from kids, especially ones who are working on making the world a better place. GoFundMe started a program called Kid Heroes to celebrate them.
The program includes an activity celebrating over 100 kid heroes, a Parents’ Guide, and short videos showing the work of a few kid heroes. Last year, on November 28, GoFundMe donated（捐赠） $ 100 000 to the Kid Heroes program through their Gives Back program.
“The kids in the GoFundMe community were our source of inspiration（灵感）, and in speaking to them, we realized that kids are often great role models for us adults because they don’t have prejudice（偏见） and they just jump in and help, which is quite different from adults,” said Raquel Rozas, chief marketing officer at GoFundMe.
The program supports hundreds of kids who not only help solve problems in their community, but also help other kids in need. For example, there is Paul Burnett, who raised over $ 10 000 to buy a new wheelchair for his best friend Kamden. Through the Parents’ Guide, parents are able to learn more about how to make their children take part in these projects. A lot of conversation starters are also provided to help parents guide their kids and raise kids that are open to giving back.
What started out as just a holiday program may become year-round. Kids such as Burnett are always doing amazing things. Another example is Ryder who created an activity on his birthday to raise money to buy presents for kids at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, hoping to help brighten their day. There’s also Walt, who raised over $ 4 000 to donate clothes to some children who aren’t able to take their belongings from house to house.
“We kicked it off for the season, but we think it actually makes a difference,” said Rozas. “Because these kids are running projects all year round, and the kinds of projects that are running are not just seasonal, they really are solving basic problems in their communities.”
28. For what purpose was Kid Heroes started?
A. To guide kids how to be more helpful.
B. To celebrate kids making a difference.
C. To encourage kids to be heroes.
D. To offer kids some inspiration.
29. What can we know about kids according to Raquel Rozas in Paragraph 3?
A. They think little of adults’ helping other people.
B. They hold different attitudes towards good deeds.
C. They have prejudice against those people in need.
D. They behave better than adults when helping others.
30. What can parents learn from the Parents’ Guide?
A. They can guide their kids to join interesting activities.
B. They can learn how to communicate with their kids.
C. They can guide their kids how to do good deeds.
D. They can learn how to give back to society.
31. Why are Ryder and Walt mentioned in the text?
A. To show that they are actually daily heroes.
B. To show the role kids have played in their life.
C. To show that the holiday program is year-round.
D. To show the influence of the program on kids’ life.
D
China and India are leaders in improving global（全球的） tree cover, a new study based on NASA research showed.
They took a 31.8 percent part together of the total global new leaf area between 2000 and 2017. China played a major role, adding 25 percent to this increase, and India added 6.8 percent, followed by Canada and Russia.
The study in the Nature Sustainability journal shows that more than 5.5 million square km of green leaf area was added globally. Since 2000, there has been a five-percent increase in global green cover, it said.
“The greening over the last twenty years shows an increase in leaf area on plants and trees which is as large as the area of the entire Amazon rainforest,” Chi Chen, a Boston University researcher and lead of the study told Nature Sustainability. Large plantation activities to protect forests in China contributed nearly 42 percent to the country’s green cover, and agriculture（农业） added another 32 percent. In India, 82 percent of the increase in leaf area was because of agriculture.
“China and India take up one-third of the greening, but hold only nine percent of the planet’s land area covered in green plants,” Chi Chen told NASA Earth Observatory. “That is a surprising finding, considering the land degradation（退化） in countries with large populations.”
Boston University’s research team first detected an increase in global green cover in the 1990s but were unsure about what contributed to the increase. Finally, with the help of NASA’s Terra and Aqua satellites research, they managed to find out the increase in leaf cover from different areas and places.
32. Which country increased the largest part of the new leaf area?
A. India. B. Canada.
C. Russia. D. China.
33. For what purpose did the author mention the Amazon rainforest?
A. To show how great the achievement was.
B. To show the importance of rainforest.
C. To explain what difficulties we have now.
D. To explain the reason for increasing forests.
34. How did Chi Chen feel about the new finding?
A. Worried. B. Interested.
C. Surprised. D. Disappointed.
35. What does the underlined word “detected” probably mean?
A. Imagined. B. Discovered.
C. Studied. D. Doubted
第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
How to Pick the Perfect Family Tent
People like camping. But to make sure everyone has a good time, choosing the right family tent is important. 36 Here’s how to choose the perfect tent for your family.
First of all, consider the size of the tents. Generally speaking, four-and six-person tents are popular with families. 37 But a couple of features（特点） can make all the difference. For families with small children, a tent with a single entrance is a better choice. This makes it easier to keep track of who’s coming and going. Of course, two doors can offer more convenience.
Some tents require two full-grown adults to set them up. 38 Be sure to take the setup into consideration. It may be necessary to go with a smaller model, or even two smaller tents, rather than one large tent for your family.
39 Or if friends have a tent, see if you can borrow it for a night in your backyard. You’ll quickly discover what you like and don’t like.
As an alternative（可供选择的事物）, many outdoor shops have rental departments. Do your research to decide what style and size you think would work best, and find out if you can rent that model or one that’s similar. Finally, if you are in a rush, ask if you can climb inside the tent at the store. 40
A. Getting in and out of the tent sounds basic.
B. To save money, you can make one on your own.
C. But you can turn to anyone for help when necessary.
D. It could be a problem if you’re the only adult when camping.
E. This will give you a chance to assess（评价） all the features in person.
F. Take the tent you are considering out for a “test drive” before you buy.
G. It’s your home away from home, and the place where you’ll sleep and relax.

The hobby is a good thing a person gets from childhood. It can be developed at any age; however, it’s best to get it from childhood. We all do some kind of work according to our interest which can give us happiness and joy and that is called hobbies. Some people get different hobbies according to their interest, likes and dislikes.
There are many types of hobbies we can develop such as dancing, singing, drawing, playing indoor or outdoor games, birdwatching, writing, eating, reading, sports, gardening, music, watching TV, cooking, talking. Our hobbies help us in earning a livelihood（生计） and making a successful career. The hobby is something we can fully enjoy in our free time.
My hobbies are cooking, listening to music and gardening; however, I always prefer gardening. Gardening makes me relaxed and gives me more happiness. Every early morning I enjoy my blooming garden, growing plants slowly on a daily basis. I also enjoy sunrise and sunset in my garden. I generally like to do my schoolwork in my evergreen garden. I play badminton with my father in the evening and enjoy the evening walk with my mom. Every day I watch new plants develop and water the plants. I also try planting new and decorative plants in my garden in order to make it more beautiful.
My parents always encourage me to continue all my hobbies. They become so happy when I take my problems in an easy way and try to solve them without getting angry and anxious. My mom says that gardening is a good hobby. From my childhood I work daily in my garden for one hour to keep it well maintained.
