16、ne needs to pass this test.And we did!We learned that fighting forest fires includes more than simply spraying (喷出) water on flames.The goal is to contain the fire,not to put it out entirely.This is done mainly with tools used to remove plants and roots from the ground,creating a line of dirt around
17、 the fire.After this,crews watch the line to ensure the fire doesnt burn more brightly.We also did “mop-up” tasksgoing into the burned areas and burying hot spots,such as burning tree trunks.Though firefighting is difficult and dangerous,its definitely rewarding.【语篇导读】本文是记叙文。作者描述了他和妹妹暑期参与扑救森林火灾的经历。5

33、.”可知,从路面获取能源的想法还有待商榷,故C项做标题最符合本文主旨。DWhat does Shakespeare offer English language learnersapart from the theatrical and literary experience awaiting anyone who hears or reads his poems and sees or reads his plays?A great deal.Shakespeare is in many ways the perfect advanced teacherhe shows us how to
