Take the story of a girl who decided to study judo (柔道) despite（尽管）she lost her left arm in a car accident for example.The girl began lessons with an old Japanese judo teacher. The girl was doing well. So she couldn't understand why, after three months of training, the teacher taught her only one move."Teacher," the girl finally said, "Shouldn't I be learning more moves?"Not quite understanding, but believing in her teacher, the girl kept training. Months later the teacher took the girl to her first competition. Surprised herself, the girl easily won her first two matches. The third match was more difficult, but after some time, her opponent (对手) became impatient. The girl used her one move to win the match. Still surprised by her success (成功), the girl was now in the finals.This time, her opponent was bigger and stronger. The girl had a hard time and the referee (裁判) wanted to stop the match because he thought the girl might get hurt. But her teacher didn't agree. "Let her do it." her teacher said. Suddenly her opponent made a big mistake. The girl used her move to win the match again.On her way home, the girl and her teacher reviewed (回顾) every move in each match. Then the girl asked what was really on her mind."Teacher, how did I win the competition with only one move?""You won for two reasons," the teacher answered. "First, you've almost learned one of the most difficult moves in all of judo. Second, the only known defense (防卫) for that move is for your opponent to catch your left arm."The girl's biggest weakness became her biggest strength.( ) 1. The girl had learnt_______ before she went to the first competition.A. many skillsB. only one moveC. how to win the matchD. how to use her left arm( ) 2. How many matches did the girl have before she went into the finals?A. One.B. Two.C. Three.D. Four.( ) 3.

The girl won the match because_______.A. she was the strongest in the matchB. other girls were much too weakC. she had the biggest strengthD. she had great skill and she lost her left arm( ) 5. What does the story tell us?A. One had better learn only one move about judo.B. You can win the match if you are lucky enough.C. Sometimes weakness can do good to us.D. Weakness will always become strength.(B)What are you going to do if you are in a burning house? How will you escape (逃离)? Do you know how to save yourself? Please read the following passage.Escaping a fire is a serious matter. Knowing what to do during a fire can save your life. It's important to know the ways you can use and show them to everyone in the family, such as stairways（楼梯）and fire escapes, but not lifts（电梯）．From the lower floors of the buildings, escaping through windows is possible; learn the best way of leaving by windows with the least chance of serious injury（受伤）．The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground. A person, hanging by the finger—tips will have a drop of about six feet to the ground. It is about the height of a man. Of course, it is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building.Windows are also useful when you are waiting for help. Be sure to keep the door closed. Or smoke and fire may come into the room. Keep your head low at the window and make sure you get fresh air rather than smoke.On a second or third floor, the best windows for escape are those that open onto a roof（屋顶）.From the roof a person can drop to the ground more safely. Dropping onto cement（水泥）might end in injury. Bushes and grass can help to break a fall.( )6. What may be the best title of Paragraph 2?A. Escaping a Fire.B. Knowing How to Save Your Life.C. The Ways You Can Use.D. Taking Escaping a Fire Seriously.( )7. It is possible to escape through the windows_______.A. if there are some bushes on the groundB. if you are strong enoughC. if you live on a lower floorD. if you have a long rope( )8.Which of the following escaping ways is NOT right?A. You can escape though stairways.B. You can choose fire escapes.C. Escape from the windows that open onto a roof.D. Use a lift to come down at once.( )9. Open the window so that_______ if the building is on fire.A. you can get fresh airB. you can call for helpC. you can easily j ump offD. you can be seen first( )10.The best title of the passage isA. Escape from the WindowsB. Save Yourself in the Burning HouseC. Knowledge on FireD. Waiting for Help五、单词拼写(10分)1. Who ate______（完全地）my ice cream!1 wanted to give it to my sister!2.

Everyone in the family should know the following fire rules:◆Don't open a hot door! The fire can grow more quickly if you open the door.◆Stay close to the floor ! Smoke can be more dangerous than fire. The best air is near the floor because smoke rises.◆What will you do if your hair or clothes start to burn? First, stop! Don't run! The fire burns faster because of more air. Drop! Fall to the floor. Then roll! Turning over and over will make the fire go out. Put a blanket(毯子)around you to keep air away from the fire that may still be on you.There are many possible causes for fires. A wise family is ready all the time. If there is a fire, don't forget to call 119 for help.29.What does it mean when a smoke alarm rings at home?A.You have to get up.B.

What is the best title for this passage?A.The Dangers of a FireB.The Causes of a FireC.Learn to Use a Fire ExtinguisherD.Be Ready for a FireCThere are many different kinds of disasters (灾难) around the world. As an adult you know what to do during a disaster, but what about the children? Some adults think it would probably never happen to them, so they don't teach their children what to do. Before it's too late, here are ways to help you prepare your child for a disasterEducate: It is always good to let your child know about possible disasters. This doesn't mean children have to live in fear. When teaching them about disasters, keep the conversation positive (积极的) by telling them there is a solution(解决办法) to the disaster. Keep the conversations short, allow of questions and answer honestly.Prepare: Always be prepared, that is the best advice for children. For example, when preparing for bad weather, get the tools you need, like candles, radios, food, water and medicine. Teach your child what is needed in certain disasters so that they know what is available for them, if ever needed.P1an: You should always have a plan for you and your child for any dangerous situation. Write out a simple list that they can read. The plan could start with "listen to an adult's advice and/or call 119".Practice: Once you have got the correct safety tools and worked out the right plan, practice every few months.
