【2】句意：After the firemen came, they rushed into the burning building and saved the people to the safe places.消防队员来了之后，他们冲进着火的大楼，把人们救到了安全的地方。其中safe用来修饰places，表示安全的地方。结合上下文信息，应填：places

【3】句意：The crowds thought all the people were safe. But it was not so. Two little orphan( 孤儿 ) girls were still asleep alone at the very top of the building in a small room.人们以为所有的人都安全了。但事实并非如此。两个小孤女还在睡觉，她们独自住在大楼的顶端在一个小房间。其中all the people were safe.是thought的宾语从句。结合上下文信息，应填：all

【4】句意：Nobody thought of them. Luckily, they lived with a dog.没有人想到他们。幸运的是，他们和一只狗住在一起。其中Luckily侥幸，幸运地，修饰后面的整个句子，在句意上有转折意味。结合上下文信息，应填：Nobody

【5】句意：The dog tried to wake them up, but he failed.狗试图唤醒他们，但他失败了。其中but但是，表示转折修饰后面的整个句子，在句意上跟前面一句相反。结合上下文信息，应填：fail的过去式failed，译为失败。

【6】句意：He ran to the window and barked loudly for help, but no one noticed him. 他跑到窗边大声吠叫求助，但没有人注意到他。其中由no one没有一个人，结合上下文信息，应填：but

【7】句意：Then the dog ran to another fireman, jumped on him and then ran to the ladder, barking all the time and looking back as if he was asking the fireman to follow him.然后狗跑向另一个消防员，跳到他身上，然后跑向梯子，不停地叫着，回头看，好像在叫消防员跟着他。由上文 tried to pull a fireman to the ladder.The fireman kicked him away, thinking he was mad. 狗试图把消防员拉到梯子上。消防队员把他踢开，以为他疯了。可知，此处狗又跑向另一个消防员。结合上下文信息，应填：another

【8】句意：So he followed the dog up the ladder and there he saw the two girls and saved them.于是他（消防员）跟着狗爬上梯子，看到了两个女孩，救了她们。由上文This fireman realized there must be someone in the small room, as the dog was acting so strangely. 这个消防队员意识到小房间里一定有人，因为狗的行为很奇怪。up the ladder向上爬梯子。结合上下文信息，可推断此处应填：up

【9】句意：Where was the dog ? A brave fireman rushed into the room to look for him.狗在哪里?一位勇敢的消防员冲进房间找他。后面的him指代狗。结合上下文信息，可推断此处应填：dog
