Have you ever seen firefighters (消防员) put out the fire when a fire broke out in the forest Now I’ll tell you something about smokejumpers (空降森林消防员) and let you know more about it.
Smokejumpers are special firefighters. They jump from planes into areas that are difficult to reach by car or on foot, like the middle of a mountain forest. They race to put out fires as fast as they can.
At the scene of the fire, smokejumpers first check the land and decide how to fight the fire. They try their best to stop a fire from spreading (蔓延). Using their tools, smokejumpers clear the land of flammable things like dry grass and leaves (叶子). They usually carry some water with them.
In the USA, although most smokejumpers are men, more women are joining. The important thing is that their height and weight must be within a certain range (范围). For example, smokejumpers in the USA must be between 120 and 200 pounds, so they don’t get hurt when they land, or get blown by strong winds.
Smokejumpers must also be able to live in the wilderness. In Russia, many smokejumpers know how to find food in the forest and make simple tools.
The work is dangerous, and the hours are long. But for smokejumpers, smokejumping isn’t just a job. They love being able to jump out of planes, fight fires, and live in the forest. As a 28-year-old Russian smokejumper, Alexi Tishin says, “This is the best job for brave people.”
( )51．How do smokejumpers go to the scene of the fire
A．On foot. B．By train. C．By plane. D．By car.
( )52．The underlined word “flammable” in Paragraph 3 means “______” in Chinese.
A．会动的 B．可燃的 C．易活的 D．可用的
( )53．As for smokejumpers in the USA, ______.
A．they don’t think their work is dangerous B．most of them are under 28 years old
C．they have proper height and weight D．there are no women smokejumpers
( )54．What can we know about Alexi Tishin
A．He loves his job. B．He is American.
C．He works short hours. D．He lives in the wilderness all year round.
( )55．The writer writes the passage mainly to ______.
A．encourage more people to become smokejumpers
B．tell people how to become a smokejumper
C．share his experience as a smokejumper
D．let people know more about smokejumpers
【答案】51．C 52．B 53．C 54．A 55．D

51．细节理解题。根据“Smokejumpers are special firefighters. They jump from planes into areas that are difficult to reach by car or on foot, like the middle of a mountain forest.”可知，他们从飞机上跳到汽车或步行难以到达的地区。故选C。
52．词句猜测题。根据“Using their tools, smokejumpers clear the land of flammable things like dry grass and leaves”可知，空降消防员利用工具清除土地上的干草和树叶等易燃物品。因此推测划线单词为“易燃的，可燃的”。故选B。

Music of the world
With the song Apologize, US band OneRepublic became one of the hottest rock bands in the world in 2007. And their new song, Counting Stars, topped the UK singles charts soon after it came out in March this year.
People say they are successful because of their special music style：mixing rock with R&B and hip-hop.
But they don’t think so.
“We’re no respecter of music style,” said lead singer Ryan Tedder. “For 10 years, we’ve been trying to define our music. But in the music world with so many styles, we found ourselves unique. And we are glad with that.”
The band was set up in 2002. Their unique style draws fans of pop, rock and other music styles. The magazine Rolling Stone describes them as “the band that brings the future of music”.
It seems everybody likes their music. Maybe it’s because their music comes from their experience of traveling, said Drew Brown, the guitarist.
“We are inspired by the traveling that we get to do and the different ways of life and culture that we get to experience,” Brown told NST News.
For example, to prepare for the latest album, Native, the band traveled to Paris, London and many other places. They hope to create a kind of music that the whole world understands.
And now, they have brought their music to China. They had concerts in Shanghai and Beijing early this month.
“Chinese fans are really enthusiastic. I hope they enjoyed the concert from ears to souls,” said Tedder.

On a summer day, a man was sitting under a tree on the bank of a river, watching a group of ducks on the river.
Soon a branch with leaves came drifting (漂浮) among them, and they all flew away. After circling in the air for a little time, they landed again on their feeding ground.
Soon another branch came drifting down among them, and again they took flight from the river. But when they found the branch drifted by without any danger, they flew down to the water as before.
After four or five branches had drifted by in this way, the ducks gave little attention to them. At last, they hardly tried to fly out of their way, even when the branches nearly touched them.

Long ago, there was a monster called “Nian”. At the end of winters, he often appeared in a village and ate the animals and villagers. The monster seemed very strong and nobody could fight him. So the villagers had to hide in the mountains to keep themselves safe.
One day, a smart old man came to the village. He told an old woman how to scare Nian away. That evening when Nian arrived at the village, he saw only the old woman’s house was bright. Nian got close to the house. Suddenly, he heard the noise of firecrackers (鞭炮). The monster felt afraid and jumped. And then he found the house was covered in red paper. This scared him even more and he ran out of the village quickly. When the other villagers returned, they saw that the old woman didn’t die.
The villagers later learned that Nian was afraid of red color and loud noises. They decided to put up red couplets (对联), set off firecrackers and stay up late when it was time for Nian’s visit at the end of winter. That is the legend (传说) of how the Spring Festival celebration began.

三、阅读理解（A、B、C每小题1分，D每小题2分，共25分）
（A）
Have you ever seen firefighters (消防员) put out the fire when a fire broke out in the forest Now I’ll tell you something about smokejumpers (空降森林消防员) and let you know more about it.
Smokejumpers are special firefighters. They jump from planes into areas that are difficult to reach by car or on foot, like the middle of a mountain forest. They race to put out fires as fast as they can.
At the scene of the fire, smokejumpers first check the land and decide how to fight the fire. They try their best to stop a fire from spreading (蔓延). Using their tools, smokejumpers clear the land of flammable things like dry grass and leaves (叶子). They usually carry some water with them.
In the USA, although most smokejumpers are men, more women are joining. The important thing is that their height and weight must be within a certain range (范围). For example, smokejumpers in the USA must be between 120 and 200 pounds, so they don’t get hurt when they land, or get blown by strong winds.
Smokejumpers must also be able to live in the wilderness. In Russia, many smokejumpers know how to find food in the forest and make simple tools.
The work is dangerous, and the hours are long. But for smokejumpers, smokejumping isn’t just a job. They love being able to jump out of planes, fight fires, and live in the forest. As a 28-year-old Russian smokejumper, Alexi Tishin says, “This is the best job for brave people.”
( )51．How do smokejumpers go to the scene of the fire
A．On foot. B．By train. C．By plane. D．By car.
( )52．The underlined word “flammable” in Paragraph 3 means “______” in Chinese.
A．会动的 B．可燃的 C．易活的 D．可用的
( )53．As for smokejumpers in the USA, ______.
A．they don’t think their work is dangerous B．most of them are under 28 years old
C．they have proper height and weight D．there are no women smokejumpers
( )54．What can we know about Alexi Tishin
A．He loves his job. B．He is American.
C．He works short hours. D．He lives in the wilderness all year round.
( )55．The writer writes the passage mainly to ______.
A．encourage more people to become smokejumpers
B．tell people how to become a smokejumper
C．share his experience as a smokejumper
D．let people know more about smokejumpers

Music of the world
With the song Apologize, US band OneRepublic became one of the hottest rock bands in the world in 2007. And their new song, Counting Stars, topped the UK singles charts soon after it came out in March this year.
People say they are successful because of their special music style：mixing rock with R&B and hip-hop.
But they don’t think so.
“We’re no respecter of music style,” said lead singer Ryan Tedder. “For 10 years, we’ve been trying to define our music. But in the music world with so many styles, we found ourselves unique. And we are glad with that.”
The band was set up in 2002. Their unique style draws fans of pop, rock and other music styles. The magazine Rolling Stone describes them as “the band that brings the future of music”.
It seems everybody likes their music. Maybe it’s because their music comes from their experience of traveling, said Drew Brown, the guitarist.
“We are inspired by the traveling that we get to do and the different ways of life and culture that we get to experience,” Brown told NST News.
For example, to prepare for the latest album, Native, the band traveled to Paris, London and many other places. They hope to create a kind of music that the whole world understands.
And now, they have brought their music to China. They had concerts in Shanghai and Beijing early this month.
“Chinese fans are really enthusiastic. I hope they enjoyed the concert from ears to souls,” said Tedder.

On a summer day, a man was sitting under a tree on the bank of a river, watching a group of ducks on the river.
Soon a branch with leaves came drifting (漂浮) among them, and they all flew away. After circling in the air for a little time, they landed again on their feeding ground.
Soon another branch came drifting down among them, and again they took flight from the river. But when they found the branch drifted by without any danger, they flew down to the water as before.
After four or five branches had drifted by in this way, the ducks gave little attention to them. At last, they hardly tried to fly out of their way, even when the branches nearly touched them.
The man who was watching all this, now wanted to know who drifted these branches. He looked up the river, and noticed a fox slyly (偷偷地) watching the ducks. “What will he do next ” thought the man.
When the fox saw that the ducks were no longer afraid of the branches, he took a much larger branch, and hid himself behind it. Then he drifted himself with the larger branch. When he was right among the ducks, he caught two young ducks quickly and swam off with them. The rest of the ducks flew away in fright, and did not come back for a long time.

Long ago, there was a monster called “Nian”. At the end of winters, he often appeared in a village and ate the animals and villagers. The monster seemed very strong and nobody could fight him. So the villagers had to hide in the mountains to keep themselves safe.
One day, a smart old man came to the village. He told an old woman how to scare Nian away. That evening when Nian arrived at the village, he saw only the old woman’s house was bright. Nian got close to the house. Suddenly, he heard the noise of firecrackers (鞭炮). The monster felt afraid and jumped. And then he found the house was covered in red paper. This scared him even more and he ran out of the village quickly. When the other villagers returned, they saw that the old woman didn’t die.
The villagers later learned that Nian was afraid of red color and loud noises. They decided to put up red couplets (对联), set off firecrackers and stay up late when it was time for Nian’s visit at the end of winter. That is the legend (传说) of how the Spring Festival celebration began.
