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 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.2if 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.3to cover a small piece of burning wood with a basin in order to stop the fire is an example of .a. cutting off the oxygen b. reducing the heatc. removing the fuel d. separating the fire4in choosing how to put out a fire, we should first be clear about .a. when it breaks out b. what kind it isc. how it comes about d. where it takes place5what would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?a. another type of extinguishersb. another class of firesc. how fires break out.d. how fires can be prevented. as many as one in five us teenagers have some degree of hearing loss, according to researchers.they say the problem is growing. teenagers really dont pay attention to how much noise they are exposed (暴露) to, josef shargorodsky of brigham and womens hospital in boston told reuters. “often people wont notice it, but even slight hearing loss may affect language development,” said shargorodsky, one of the researchers. the study compared surveys from the early 1990s and the mid-2000s. each included a few thousand teenagers. in the first survey, about 15 percent of teenagers had some degree of hearing loss. some 15 years later, that number had risen by a third, to nearly 20 percent. “this certainly is big news,” said alison grimes, an ear doctor. hearing loss is very common in old people, grimes said, but she added that it was worrying to see it happen in the younger age group. in babies and young children, hearing problems are known to slow language development. the science is less clear for teenagers, but it is easy to imagine how being hard of hearing could affect learning, said grimes,. the reasons for the rise are still unclear. when researchers asked teenagers about noise exposure on the job, at school or from activities, for example the teenagers didnt report any change. but shargorodsky said that might not be true. “we knew from before that it is difficult to ask this age group about noise exposure they underestimate (低估) it.” few people would call it noise when they listen to music on their mp3 player, for example. “there is a difference between what we think is loud and what is harmful to the ear,” said grimes. although its not clear that the mp3 players cause teenagers hearing loss, grimes said it was still a good idea to turn down the sound and take short breaks from listening. 6according to the researchers, in a us class of 40 students, about _ students have some degree of hearing loss.a. one b. five c. six d. eight7which of the following statements is true according to the article?a. slight hearing loss does not influence learning. b. only a few old people have hearing problems.c. hearing problems can slow language development. d. noise exposure is clearly noticed by teenagers.8about hearing loss, it can be inferred that _.a. the reasons for the rise have been found b. mp3 players are to blamec. listening to loud music may be a cause d. noise is the main reason 9the article was written to _.a. warn teenagers that loud music might be harmful b. explain what kinds of noises might affect studiesc. suggest that teenagers shouldnt listen to loud musicd. show how important hearing can be for learning last sunday, aron ralston, an experienced hiker and mountaineer, set off to walk alone through the bluejohn desert canyon (峡谷) in utah. he was planning an eight-hour, 21kilometer hike. while he was climbing through a narrow part of the canyon, a big stone weighing about 400 kilos fell and trapped his right arm.when he failed to return to the mountain camp where he was staying that night, people simply thought he had decided to camp out somewhere in the canyon. when he still had not returned by tuesday, the alarm was raised, a search party set out on wednesday evening, but there we no sign and his family began to fear the worst.in fact, ralston, 27, was lying trapped in the canyon. by tuesday, he had run out of water. by thursday, he realized that he would not survive unless he took unusual action, so he used his pocket knife to cut his arm below the elbow (肘). he then climbed down to the bottom of the canyon. there he met two other hikers, who helped him back to safety. he received some help at a local hospital before being carried to st. marys hospital in grand junction, colorado for surgery.ralstons astonishing survival brought equal amounts of praise and criticism. while praising the climber for his bravery and calm, experts also pointed out he had broken the first rule of outdoor pursuits. he had failed to leave words with anyone of where he was going that day.this was in fact ralstons second near-death experience. in february, he was buried up to the neck in snow by an avalanche (雪崩) while skiing in the colorado rockies. ralston not only managed to dig himself out but he also rescued his skiing companion, who had been completely buried in the snow. ralton rescued himself and his friend in less than 15 minutes.10according to the passage, a “hiker” is probably someone who _.a.enjoys walking short distancesb.enjoys walking long distancesc.climbs rocks and mountainsd.likes adventure11 when a big stone trapped his right arm, _.a.he went on climbing the canyonb.he managed to return to the mountain lodgec.he cut off part of his arm to survived.two other hikers helped him out12why did ralstons survival bring criticism?a.because this was his second near-death experience.b.because he was brave and calm.c.because he told no one where he was going when he set off.d.because he amputated his arm

were average?according to us artist nickolay lamm, she would be a brunette with a rounded face and a much thicker waistfrustrated with the unrealistic beauty standards of barbie and her friends, lamm took data from disease control and prevention about an average 19-year-old american woman, who is about 163 cm tall, with a 84-cm waist with those measurements, lamm created a dollthe doll-s tagline （口号）is “average is beautiful”“i think a realistic-size doll is important because when i look at current dolls on the market, they all look like supermodels, the artist told apf “i just had the impression that the wall of supermodels suggests that something is wrong with you if you don-t look like one so i created an alternative to suggest that its ok to look like a normal personthe lammily

to the dolls, including freckles, acne, moles, and tattoos“you can also add minor cuts and bruises, like ones youd get from falling down while snowboarding, lamm told nbc“i feel that, right now dolls are very perfect looking, when, in real life, few of us have perfect skin, lamm told the huffington post “things like pimples are a natural part of who we are so, why not give dolls a real treatment?as the huffington post said, getting kids used to the idea that these things are completely normal and not 6flaws（缺陷） to be ashamed of can only be a good thing14why did nickolay lamm make the lammily doll? （no more than 14 words） （2 marks）15how is the lammily doll different from barbie dolls? （no more than 13 words） （3 marks）16what does lamm mean when he says, why not give dolls a real treatment? in the second-to-last paragraph? （no more than 1 words） （3 marks）17what is the author-s attitude toward lammily dolls? （no more than 6 words） （2 marks）评卷人得分四、完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分 30分） body language is the quiet, secret and most powerful language of all! it speaks than words. according to specialists, our bodies send out more than we realize. in fact, non-verbal communication(非言语交际)takes
