Knowing what to do during a fire can save your life. It is important to know the ways you can use and show them to everyone in the family, such as stairways and fire escapes, but not lifts.From the lower floors of the building, escaping through windows is possible, learn the best way of leaving by windows with the least chance of serious injury.The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground. An average person, hanging by the fingertips will have a drop of about six feet to the ground. It is about the height of an average 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 be drawn into the room. Keep your head low at the window to be sure you get fresh air rather than smoke that may leaked (渗) into the room.On a second or third floor, the best windows for escape are those that open onto a roof.

Hazel Rymer frequently has to struggle through rainforests, climb to the top of mountains, then climb 200 metres into the crater of active volcanoes. But the 38yearold volcanologist does her best to make it sound less alarming than it is.“Driving to work is more risky, "she insists.“And the deepest I go into the crater of a volcano is about 300 metres,” she adds, trying to make it all sound as ordinary as taking the dog for a walk.Hazel has been studying volcanoes for a long time, so it's not surprising she is used to the danger. Her interest in volcanoes began at school. A teacher gave her a book about Pompeii.“I remember reading about the eruption of Vesuvius and the destruction of the city,” she explains.“The thought of all those people just frozen in time had quite an effect on me and I am still excited by their dangerous beauty today.”Nowadays, volcanoes are getting more and more unpredictable. There have been many changes in sea level caused by global warming and melting ice caps. These have resulted in some dormant volcanoes erupting, so studying them is more dangerous than ever before. Hazel says that although she doesn't take anyunnecessary risk, she has had some frightening moments. Her worst experience was on the slopes of Mount Etna in Sicily, when she was slowly surrounded by lava.“I had a choice of walking ten hours to get around the lava flow or just walking across it, ”she explains. She chose to pick a path across the cooler rocks in the lava stream.“I guess it was five metres. The flow was 1, 000 ℃, so if you hesitated, your boots would begin to melt. It was scary, but it really was a practical decision—there wasn't time to do anything else.”And what about the future? “I haven't been to the volcanoes in Indonesia yet. And I would love to spend some time working in the Antarctic, ”she says.“I would also like to know why quiet lava flows erupt from some volcanoes and why other volcanoes go bang.” In other words, Hazel Rymer won't be exchanging her volcanoes for the relative safety of driving to work just yet.8．Hazel's claim that “driving to work is more risky” than exploring volcanoes shows that ________________．A．people have exaggerated the dangers of volcanoes in the pastB．Hazel does not really understand the dangerous situations she puts herself in C．there are many bad drivers in the place where Hazel livesD．Hazel is being modest and understating the dangers she faces9．When did Hazel first become interested in volcanoes?A. When she was visiting Italy.B．When she was at school.C．When she was twenty.D．When she saw Vesuvius.10．The underlined word “These” (in Paragraph 3) refers to “”．A．melting ice capsB．volcanic eruptionsC．changes in sea levelD．higher temperatures11．In the future, Hazel wants to ．A．revisit volcanoes she knowsB．go on holiday to the AntarcticC．find a less dangerous jobD．discover new things about volcanoes4.（10分）“I'm going to fail！”My best friend cried. She and I had this conversation almost every day while we were in high school.The truth was that my friend never failed in any subjects. I just think that she can't accept failures because she lives her life as a perfectionist (完美主义者)．What she fails to understand is that a lot of good can come from failures.For example, failure can help build relationships. Once I was cooking dinner for a friend. I was tired, and several dishes I tried to make turned out bad. I grew more and more upset until my friend told me that I shouldn't worry. She cared more about our friendship than the dishes. That day, I learned that failure doesn't always make people dislike you. In fact, after she said those words to me, I grew closer to her.Failure can make success even more exciting. Every few years, there would be an important test in the PE class at our school. Students had to run a mile within eight minutes. I was never good at running, so I failed every time until the third year at school. Then I began working out regularly, and yet I still failed that year. A few days later, however, the teacher gave me and some other students another chance to run and I got a pass finally！You can't imagine how excited I was after that. I felt the memory of the success was as sweet as honey, because I had to overcome failure to reach it.Now it's clear to see that failure can teach us good lessons. It's not an end—it canbe a beginning.12．What can we learn about the author's best friend from the first two paragraphs?A．She liked taking tests.B．She was afraid of failures.C．She often failed in study.D．She knew how to be perfect.13．What did the author finally get from a failed cooking?A．Bad feelings.B．Worries.C．A closer friendship.D．More experience.14．Why did the author feel excited after the running test?A．Because she could work out regularly.B．Because she received honey as a reward.C．Because she got another chance to take the test.D．Because she achieved success after many failures.15．The author wrote this passage________________．A．to show the negative effects of failuresB．to point out her best friends fear of failuresC．to encourage the readers to face failures bravelyD．to introduce different types of failures二、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分12.5分）5.（12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
