Question

                              A

              A teenager and his family have been praised as ： heroes after rescuing five children from a fire. Matthew Robinson,18, his mother and his father rushed to help ：when a neighbour's home went up in flames. Jackie Robinson,40, climbed a ladder to pull 12-year-old Tamara Barlow and her 16-month-old brother from their first-floor bedroom. Matthew went up the ladder and into the smoke-filled room to save two more children after their 16-year-old sister Charlotte climbed down.

              Last night,fire fighters said one or more of the children would almost certainly have died had it not been for the Robinsons. However,Matthew denied they were heroes. He said, ^Anyone would have done the same thing. I was in the right place at the right time."

              The fire at the home in Dorset,began around 9. 30 p.m. on Sunday night. The Robinsons heard the children s mother screaming “Qet them out”. Matthew rushed through the front door,but was beaten back by flames. After his parents helped three of the children down the ladder,he climbed into the bedroom to get the others.

              “Being in the room fUll of smoke,it was impossible to see anything. I had to feel my way round the room,trying to find the two kids and get them to make some noise,so I could find out where they were,”he said. rtThe boys were in a pretty bad. state,and almost passed out.They were unable to say anything.”

              Steve Isaacs,station manager at Weymouth Community Fire Station,said, “There was some very, very quick thinking on the part of Matthew and his father Jackie. They showed great bravery and helped save some lives. Normally we would never encourage people to go into a burning building but,on this occasion,it all worked out well."

A篇

邻居家起火后，18岁的少年和他家人一起救了邻居一家。

1. A. 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的Matthew and his father Jackie 可知，Jackie 是 Matthew 的父亲，再 根据第一段中的 Jackie Robinson ,40, climbed a ladder to pull 12-year-old Tamara Barlow and her 16-month-old brother from their first-floor bedroom 可知，Matthew的父亲救了两个孩子。

2. B. 推理判断题。根据Matthew冲进火场救人的举动可知，他很勇敢;再根据第二段中他否认自己是英雄，并表示任何人在当时的情况下都会做同样的事可以看出，他很谦虚。

3. D. 细节理解题。根据第三段中的The Robinsons heard the children's mother screaming “Get them out”可知，Robinsons —家听到了孩子妈妈的求救声才知道邻居家着大了。

4. A. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的very,very quick thinking …showed great bravery and helped save some lives 及it. all worked out well 可以看出，虽然一般情况下Steve Isaacs不鼓励人们进入着火的大楼，但是Matthew和他的家人反应迅速、英勇救人,Steve Isaacs对此举动表不赞扬。
