The powerful motors spring to life and the men 6 on as the fire engines shoot out and 7 down the street, with alarm bells ringing. In large towns, the firemen are hired on a 8 basis, that is to say, their full-time job fighting fire and they have 9 other work. 10 in many smaller places, the firemen have their own jobs to do, 11 the work of fighting fires, and they 12 come to the fire station when they called.It is not 13to hear the fire alarm, and then to 14 , seconds later, men 15 from all parts of the town, in cars, on bikes, on foot, in the direction of the 16 .

解析:

(1) C 消防队的大门是在“正常”的情况下“紧闭”的.后面的单词shut就是个关键词.它会让你确认normal的正确选项. (2) A 前面提到过的shut和后面的wait会使你想到,消防车既然不出门,当然应当“平静地peacefully”等待着. (3) C lovingly是副词,表示“爱护地”.它让我们知道,它只有与cared for“关心”连用在一起,才是最好的搭配. (4) D the moment 在这里不是名词,而是连词,表示“一……(就)”,也就是说,警报声一响,大门自然要“马上immediately”打开. (5) B rush意思为“冲”walk为“慢慢地走”在当时有火警的紧急情况下,不可能walk,而应该是rush.rush 是come的方式状语,而并非和come接连发生的两个动作,因此不用and rushed,而用分词rushing作方式状语. (6) A 前面发动机的“突然吼叫spring to life”以及后面的“冲出去shoot out”可以让你联想到当进消防员的动作应该是“跳上去jump”最贴切. (7) D 后面的词组with the alarm bells ringing“一路呼啸着警铃”会让你联想到“闪烁着灯光flash”,因此答案为D. (8) C 下文的full-time job表明在大城镇需要雇佣专职full-time的消防员. (9) C full-time job就是no other work,他们没有别的工作;他们的工作就是灭火. (10) A 前面的in large towns和后面的in many smaller places正好是一对意思相反的词组,很容易让人想到这里应当用转折连词but了. (11) B 前面的their own jobs告诉我们这些消防队员除了有他们各自的工作外,还有消防工作,所以besides是最合适的介词了. (12) D 后面的连词when是一个关键点,因为平时他们有各自的工作,“只有only”当他们被“召唤”的时候,他们才来消防站. (13) B 后面的hear the fire alarm以及from all parts of the town, in cars, on bikes, on foot都是些提示词,由它们可知这些业余消防队员训练有素,也就“司空见惯not unusual”了. (14) A 由前面hear这个词,我们势必联想到“看见see”,因为后面还有from all parts of the town. (15) C 如果说你已经弄清了这些从四面八方来的人是消防队员,那你就不难想像在这种场合只有用“匆匆赶路hurrying”最合适了. (16) A 如果能正确理解上文的话,那么也就不难看出这些消防队员从四面八方赶往的是“消防站fire-station”. (17) D 后面的两个动词词组are asked to…和are called to…启发你明白这些消防队员“不仅more than”干救火的活儿,他们还要被要求干很多其他事情. (18) D advise on 是个很受启发的词组.肯定建议“防火fire prevention”. (19) D 前面的heads和后面的railings可推知这些顽皮的孩子把头伸进了栏杆却又“被卡住了stuck”. (20) C in public women's 意思为“公共女厕”.在有些国家,公共厕所管理有序,何时开关都有规定,可知这些女士被锁在里边,是“出乎人意料的unexpectedly”. |
