16、 investigate.Thats when he saw two women and a girl hysterical on their porch.“The babys in there!” one of the women cried.Though the fire department had been called,Surrell,then 64,instinctively ran inside.“The baby” was 8-year-old Tiara Roberts,the womans granddaughter and a playmate of Surrells t
17、hree youngest kids.The other two on the porch were Tiaras aunt and cousin.Entering the burning house was like “running into a bucket of black paint”,Surrell says.The thick smoke caused him to stumble blindly around,burned his eyes,and made it impossible to breathe.The conditions would have been dang
18、erous for anyone,but for Surrell,who has chronic(慢性) disease,they were life-threatening.After a few minutes in the smoke-filled house,he retreated outside to catch his breath.“Where is Tiara?” he asked desperately.“The second floor,” her aunt shouted back.Surrell knew he couldnt hold his breath for

20、floor.He turned to the right and was met by intense heat.He was already out of breath.“Baby girl,where are you?”His throat and lungs burned as if hed inhaled(吸入) fire instead of the smoke and ash in the air.Every blink stung his eyes.All he could hear was the crackling and popping of burning wood.Th

23、slands thought it could harm their health and the health of the islands,too”可知,美属维尔京群岛的居民认为焚烧垃圾会危害岛上居民的健康以及岛上的生态环境。3.D推理判断题。根据第四段的内容可知,政府想把植物垃圾运往美国大陆但是会给其他区域带来问题,若是全部处理为护根,又没有足够的空间,所以政府暂时没有找到一个合适的办法来处理植物垃圾。4.B推理判断题。根据最后一段中Munchez的话可知,他认为政府没有必要禁止焚烧植物垃圾,当务之急是赶紧处理掉岛上的垃圾,所以他认为禁止焚烧植物垃圾的做法是在浪费时间。二、【篇章导读】本

25、e vets there.her by fitting her with a prosthesis”可知,救援人员把这只小狗带到附近的医院接受“帮助(help)”。5.A兽医通过给小狗安装假肢“救助(saved)”它。6.B下文中的Chi Chis story对本空有提示。7.D由下文中的“discussed adopting her”可知,这是作者一家第一次“听说(heard about)”这只小狗。8.C作者一家通过网络“密切关注(followed)”这只小狗的故事。9.A由上文中的discussed和下文中的“My mom wanted to know who would”可推断,作者家
26、“已经(already)”有三只小狗了。10.C由本句中的“because it might be a lot of work to take care of a dog”可知,作者的妈妈想要知道谁想 “照顾(look after)”这只小狗。11.B由上文中的“by fitting her with a prosthesis”可知,这只小狗有“残疾(disabled)”。12.D由下文中的“Her rescuers sent us photos and videos.”可推断,作者一家在收养这只小狗之前有一些“问题(questions)”需要询问。13.B由上下文语境可知,作者和家人给小狗尝

28、ed her into his arms and struggled to feet.He felt the heat of the flames on his cheeks.Turning,he fought through the smoke and ran blindly into the blackness.The next thing he knew,he was at the front door.Paragraph 2:Surrell put Tiara down on the porch.A voice told him,“You have to breathe for her
29、.” He started CPR.The panic-stricken women praying silently.Soon a soot-filled cough came from Tiaras throat.Her eyes flickered.He gave more breaths until she opened her eyes.Their eyes met.Surrell hugged her tight and said,“Uncles got you.”Soon after,his throat closed off.Having suffered severe burns,Surrell woke up in hospital a couple of days later.“Its a small price to pay,” he says.“Id do it again in a heartbeat without giving it a second thought.”
