题目内容
12.You may picture firefighters holding a hose (水管) outside of a burning building,but the Golden Eagles Hotshots don't fight fires quite that way.When they go into action,you may not even see a fire truck.The Hotshots are firefighters who battle fires in wildness areas.But don't think you'll only find them in their home state California.Wherever there is a national wildfire emergency,the Golden Eagles Hotshots could be there.
But these firefighters don't work the same way as firefighters in a big city.They work in areas where there are a large number of trees,bushes,and grass.They climb up and down steep hills to clear brush and burnable debris(残骸).They sometimes use water,but they often fight fire with fire!
They do that by lighting what are called"backfires,"which are small,controlled fires that burn up fuel in the path of large wildfires.That way,when the wildfire gets there,it has nothing to burn and nowhere to go,because all the burnable fuel has already gone up in smoke.
The Hotshots also clear away fuel using old-fashioned hard work.For example,they use a saw to cut away trees and heavy brush that could catch fire.
Of course there are times when the Golden Eagles Hotshots do have trucks to supply water to the fires.But the water is limited,and these guys have to rely on hard work more than anything.Physical fitness is very important.They have to be in great physical shape to handle steep hills and difficult terrain(地形) while carrying a 60-pound pack.
The Golden Eagles Hotshots definitely work hard for their pay.But thanks to their efforts,many lives have been saved,many houses have not burned,and countless trees are still standing.

解答 67-70.DDBA
67题答案:D考查细节推理,根据文章第三段的They work in areas where there are a large number of trees,bushes,and grass.They climb up and down steep hills to clear brush and burnable debris(残骸).他们在有很多树、丛林和草地的地方工作.他们在陡峭的山上爬上爬下去清理可燃的残骸.可知本题答案为D选项.
68题答案:D考查细节推理,根据文中的That way,when the wildfire gets there,it has nothing to burn and nowhere to go,because all the burnable fuel has already gone up in smoke.那样的话,当夜火到达那里的时候,它就没东西可烧而且无处可走,因为所有的可燃燃料已经以烟的形式消耗了.可知消防员点着backfires的目的是为了"阻止火蔓延",故本题答案为D选项.
69题答案:B考查细节推理,根据文章倒数第二段的They have to be in great physical shape to handle steep hills and difficult terrain(地形) while carrying a 60-pound pack.他们不得不有很好的身体状况来在背负一个重达60磅的背包下处理陡峭的山和复杂的地形.可知本题答案为B选项.
70题答案:A考查细节推理,根据文章最后一句的But thanks to their efforts,many lives have been saved,many houses have not burned,and countless trees are still standing.但是感谢他们的努力付出,许多的生命得到了挽救,很多的房子避免了烧毁,而且无数的树木还在林立.可知作者对于这些消防员是"感激的",故本题答案为A选项.
