题目内容
11.We always can see 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 wilderness 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 large numbers 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 larger 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 shapes 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 been burned,and countless trees are still standing.

26.The firefighters mentioned in the passageD.

分析 此篇文章主要介绍了一群特殊作业的消防官兵,讲述了他们的工作环境,工作过程等,向读者完整介绍了消防官兵的工作.
解答 25: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.
26: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.
27: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.
28:D态度题题干:作者对hotshpts的态度如何选A(赞扬的,欣赏的)答案依据:thanks to their efforts,many lives have been saved,many houses have not burned,and countless trees are still standing,据此可判断作者的态度作答此类题型,应注意用归类法进行处理.态度褒贬划分可有:褒扬的(Appreciative,positive等) 中性的(neutral,objective,worried等) 贬义的(critical,doubtful等)平时应注意多归类整理.故选D.
