Question

【题目】根据材料内容，选择正确答案。
D
Long long ago people made fires(火) from lightning(闪电). But they had to keep the fires burning(燃烧), for they couldn't start it again if there was no lightning. Later, they found out hitting two pieces of stone(石头) together could make a spark(火花). The spark could fire dry leaves(树叶). In this way they could make the fire again if it went out. Then people also learned to make a fire by rubbing(摩擦). They made a hole on a big piece of wood(木头) and put a smaller stick(树枝) into the hole. They turned the stick again and again. After a few minutes they got a fire.
As years went by, people learned other ways to make a fire. Sometimes they used the heat(热) from the sun. They held a piece of glass in the right way and made a piece of paper on fire.
About two centuries(世纪) ago, people began to make matches(火柴). Matches brought people a quick and easy way to make fires. Today matches are still being used, but people have more new ways to make fires. One of them is to use an electric(电子) fire starter. Of course an electric fire starter is much more expensive than a box of matches. But it is convenient.

Answer 1

【答案】
（1）C
（2）D
（3）B
（4）D
（5）C
【解析】（1）文章第一行The spark could fire dry leaves(树叶).火花可以燃烧干燥的树叶。fire any leaves燃烧任何树叶，burn anything燃烧任何东西 ，burn dry leaves燃烧干燥的树叶， keep fires burning保持火燃烧着，故选C。
（2）making a hole on a big piece of wood在一块大木头上弄一个洞， putting a smaller stick into the hole把一根小棍子插进洞里，turning the stick hard for a while把棍子使劲转一会儿。文章三四行Then people also learned to make a fire by rubbing(摩擦). They made a hole on a big piece of wood(木头) and put a smaller stick(树枝) into the hole. They turned the stick again and again. After a few minutes they got a fire.然后人们也学会了用摩擦来生火。他们在一块大木头上打孔(木头),把一根较小的棍子(树枝)放进洞里。他们一次又一次地把棍子转过。几分钟后,他们着火了。故选D。
（3）About two centuries(世纪) ago, people began to make matches(火柴). 大约两个世纪以前,人们开始制造火柴，即也就是人们使用火也就有200年了。for about two thousand years大约两千年，for about two hundred years大约两百年了，since people began to use fire for cooking自从人们开始用火做饭，since people used the heat from the sun自从人们用太阳能。故选B。
（4）an electric fire starter is widely used电动的点火器被广泛的使用，文章最后Of course an electric fire starter is much more expensive than a box of matches. But it is convenient.当然,电动的点火器比一盒火柴更贵。但是很方便。所以可以判断并没有被广泛使用，故排除A。people haven't used matches since they had electric fire starters人们没有使用火柴,因为他们有电动的点火器。 Today matches are still being used, 火柴现在仍然使用，故排除B。today there are only two ways to make fires今天有两种生火方法， 文章倒数第五行people learned other ways to make a fire. Sometimes they used the heat(热) from the sun人们学会了生火的其他方法。有时他们用太阳的热量， 倒数第二行Today matches are still being used, but people have more new ways to make fires. One of them is to use an electric(电子) fire starter.今天火柴还在使用,但是人们有更多的新方法来生火。其中一个是使用电电动的点火器。故排除C，故选D。
（5）文章第一行Long long ago people made fires(火) from lightning(闪电). 很久以前人们从闪电中生火(火)。文章第二行 Later, they found out hitting two pieces of stone(石头) together could make a spark(火花). The spark could fire dry leaves(树叶). 后来,他们发现撞击两块石头(石头)可以产生火花(火花)。火花可以燃烧干燥树叶(树叶)。文章倒数第五行As years went by, people learned other ways to make a fire. Sometimes they used the heat(热) from the sun.随着时间的推移,人们学会了生火的其他方法。有时他们用太阳的热量( hot)。倒数第三行About two centuries(世纪) ago, people began to make matches(火柴).大约两个世纪以前,人们开始制造火柴(火柴)。文章倒数第二行 Today matches are still being used, but people have more new ways to make fires. One of them is to use an electric(电子) fire starter.今天火柴还在使用,但是人们有更多的新方法来生火。其中一个是使用电电动的点火器。故选C。
