1.Part of northern California had become an inferno(火海) in the latest big fire. A nearby town, Paradise, was reduced to ash. Nearly 50 people are confirmed dead and over 200 missing. Six of the ten most destructive fires in California's history have occurred in the past decade. Last year was the most destructive year on record, until this year. Why is the Golden State so flammable?

2.There are three reasons why California has been surrounded by flames. First, the climate is becoming warmer. This has led to snow melting earlier, drier landscapes and a longer season when fires are likely to occur.

3.A second reason is that more people live in flammable places. Since the 1990s 60% of new homes in California, Washington and Oregon have been built in spaces next to nature. These areas, which environmentalists call the "wildland-urban interface", are at higher risk of wildfire.

4.A third reason is that there is more fuel. Before western settlers arrived, fires used to happen often and naturally, which made less fuel available for future fires. For the past century fires have been controlled well. This has led to a build-up of dry brush, and makes the average wildfire much likelier to turn into a big one.

5.Putting out the flame is the most immediate task for California, but not the last. Many survivors will want to rebuild their homes exactly where they were. Californians will also want to ensure that utility companies(公用事业公司) are acting and investing responsibly. Investigations into what caused the fire are still going on, but some reports suggest it may have begun with sparks (火花) from lines owned by an electricity company.

1.What may directly cause the big fire in California?

A. The warm climate.　　 B. Living too close to nature.

C. Too much fuel.　　 D. Sparks from electric wire

2.What does the underlined sentences in Paragraph 1 suggest?

A. The fires in California are all very destructive.

B. The latest big fire in California is very destructive.

C. California suffered from destructive fires most last year.

D. There have been six destructive fires in California in the past 10 years.

3.What does the text mainly talk about?

A. The reasons why California suffered a destructive fire recently.

B. The reasons why California suffered destructive fires frequently.

C. The facts that California is a place easily suffered destructive fires.

D. The opinions that California is a place easily suffered destructive fires.

4.What is the structure of the text?

A. 1//2-3// 4-5　　 B. 1-2// 3-5

C. 1//2-4// 5　　 D. 1// 2-5

If volunteering begins at an early age, it can become part of a child’s life — something he or she may just expect and want to do. It can teach them:

A sense of responsibility (责任感). By volunteering, children and teens learn how to be on time for a job, do their best, and be proud of the results. And they also learn that, in the end, we are responsible for the well-being of our whole community (社区).

The knowledge that one person can make a difference. A wonderful message for a child is that he or she is important enough to have an effort on someone or something else.

The benefit of sacrifice (奉献的好处). By giving up a toy to a less fortunate child, a child learns that it’s good to sacrifice sometimes. Cutting back on playing time to help clean up a street tells kids that there are important things other than ourselves and our needs.

Tolerance (容忍). Working in community service can bring kids and teens in touch with people of different backgrounds, abilities, ages, and education. They will likely find that even the most diverse people can be united by common values.

Job skills. Community service can help young people decide on their future careers. Learning to work as a team member, taking on leadership roles, setting project goals — these are all skills that can be learned by volunteering and will serve a child well in any future career.

How to fill free time wisely. If a child isn’t interested in traditional after-school activities, community service can be a wonderful choice.

1.You help a student who can’t go to school because of money. That is about _____.

A.a sense of responsibility B.job skills

C.tolerance D.the benefit of sacrifice

2.If you have to get on with all kinds of classmates — hardworking or lazy, workaholic or play-first, polite or rude, etc., what you need most is _____.

A.a sense of responsibility

B.the knowledge that one person can make a difference

C.tolerance

D.the benefit of sacrifice

3.The underlined word “diverse” (in Para. 5) probably means “_____”.

A.different B.interesting

C.personal D.selfish

4.What would be the best title for this passage?

A.What to do as a volunteer

With the development of our society, cell phones have become a common part in our lives. Have you ever run into a careless cell phone user on the street? Maybe they were busy talking, texting or checking updates on We Chat without looking at what was going on around them. As the number of this new “species” of human has kept rising, they have been given a new name-phubbers (低头族).

Recently a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight. In the short film, phubbers with various social identities (身份) bury themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die, a pretty woman takes a selfie (自拍) in front of a car accident site, and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone. A chain of similar events finally leads to the destruction of the world.

Although the ending of the film sounds unrealistic, the damage phubbing can bring is real. Your health is the first to bear the effect and result of it. “Always bending your head to check your cell phone could damage your neck,” Guangming Daily quoted doctors’ words. “The neck is like a rope that breaks after long-term stretching.” Also, staring at cell phones for a long time will damage your eyesight gradually, according to the report.

But that’s not all. Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family. When getting together with family or friends, many people prefer to play their cell phones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere, Qilu Evening News reported.

It can also cost your life. There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death, suffered accidents, and were robbed of their cell phones in broad daylight.

1.Why does the author give the example of a cartoon in Paragraph 2?

A. To suggest phubbers will destroy the world

B. To call for people to go walking without phones

C. To tell people of the bad effects of phubbing

D. To advise students to create more cartoons like this

2.According to the passage, what risks may a phubber have?

①Destructing the world　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

②Affecting his social skills

③Damaging his neck and eyesight　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

④Getting separated from his friends and family

A. ①②④　　 B. ②③④

C. ①③④　　 D. ①②③④

3.What’s the author’s attitude towards phubbing?

A. Supportive　　 B. Confident

C. Disapproving　　 D. Optimistic

4.What will be talked about in the following paragraph?

A. Ways to avoid the risks of phubbing　　 B. Bad effects of pudding
