Gas bubbles inside the magma grow bigger and try to escape as the molten rock gets closer to the Earths surface. When the gas bubbles cant be held back any longer, the volcano erupts. Imagine shaking (shake) a soda bottle until the gas inside blows the cap off, and you can understand something of how a volcano erupts. If the magma is runny, and the gas can escape easily (easy), the eruption is gentle. But if the magma is thick, the gas has to build up more pressure to escape. Then the eruption is explosive.片段选词填空stay in a safe place， go down， go out， take shelter， to protect yourself or your family members， trapped in， shout for help An earthquake is one of the most mon natural disasters.It may cause great damage.So it is wise to learn some simple safety tips to_protect_yourself_or_your_family_members.During an earthquake, lie beneath an object that is not easily damaged.Do not go near objects that could directly fall on you.Never use the elevator to go_down.Stay inside until the shaking stops and it is safe to go outside.Research has shown that most injuries happen when people inside buildings try to go_out.Use the staircases at all times.If you are outdoors, do not take_shelter under a tree, streetlights, electric poles or tall buildings.If you are driving, stop your car and stay_in_a_safe_place.Do not park your car under a tree or any tall object.If trapped_in debris (瓦砾堆), cover your mouth with a handkerchief or clothing.Tap on a pipe or wall so rescuers can find you.Use a whistle (哨子) if one is available.Never shout_for_help.Shouting can cause you to breathe in dangerous amounts of dust.Do not light a match because you may burn yourself.Do not move about or kick up dust.课下作业（三） 高考语篇提能练.阅读理解“Wait. Youve always wanted to do that, too？！ Why dont we do it this summer？！”That was how it started. My sister and I were talking on the phone when the topic of forest firefighting arose.Fighting wildfires as a summer job may sound strange, but its not unmon in the western United States. There are at least 50,000 wildfires annually in the US., a high number of which happen in the western states. And of course, most happen during the hot months of the year, between May and September. So the need for people willing to spend summers fighting these fires is real!Federal agencies, such as the US. Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management, as well as private contractors (承包商), employ thousands of seasonal firefighters each year. Through a friend, my sister and I were introduced to one of these private contractors. He agreed to employ us for his crew if we took a training course and passed the pack test.Our training consisted of a twoday course on the basics of wildfire management. We learned what causes wildfires, the tools and techniques for fighting them and safety guidelines.The pack test requires a person to walk three miles in under 45 minutes while carrying a 45pound pack. Since most beginners work on Line, Engine or Hotshot Crews all extremely physical everyone needs to pass this test. And we did!We learned that fighting forest fires includes more than simply spraying (喷出) water on flames. The goal is to contain the fire, not put it out entirely. This is done mainly with tools used to remove plants and roots from the ground, creating a line of dirt around the fire. After this, crews watch the line to ensure the fire doesnt burn more brightly. We also did “mopup” tasks going into the burned areas and burying hot spots, such as burning tree trunks. Though firefighting is difficult and dangerous, its definitely rewarding.1What does Paragraph 3 mainly explain?AWhy theres a great need for forest firefighters.BWho is the right person for the firefighting job.CWhen is the best time to take the firefighting job.DWhy so many wildfires happen in the US. every year.解析：选A段落大意题。由第三段末的“So the need for people willing to spend summers fighting these fires is real！”可知，本段是对美国需要大量夏季森林消防队员的解释。2Before being summer firefighters, the author and his sister_.Areceived formal training for beginnersBgot permission from the US. Forest ServiceChad never heard any information about this jobDhad a heated discussion about the safety of the job解析：选A细节理解题。由第四段的“He agreed to employ us for his crew if we took a training course and passed the pack test.”可知，在成为夏季森林消防队员之前，作者和妹妹接受了正规训练以及体能测试。3Which of the following can best describe the pack test?ASafetyrelated.BTerribly dangerous.CRecordbreaking. DPhysically exhausting.解析：选D推理判断题。由倒数第二段的“requires a person to walk three miles in under 45 minutes while carrying a 45pound pack . all extremely physical .”可知，该测试极其耗费体力。4What does the underlined word “contain” in the last paragraph probably mean?AFight. BBuild.CDetect. DControl.解析：选D词义猜测题。由画线词后的“not put it out entirely”以及除喷水以外的救火方式“with tools . creating a line of dirt around the fire”可知，扑救森林火灾目的其实在于控制火势，而非完全扑灭。.阅读七选五Polar exploration is the exploration of the lands around the North and South poles.

We made them to share with friends and neighbors.Preparation began with Daddy and the cleaning of the corn_husks (外壳). First he boiled them and left them in the water overnight. No husk passed inspection without being soft enough for folding. The next day, the rest of us got to work. My brothers and uncles were on hand for cleanup duty. And there was much to clean up as we women prepared the dough (生面团) made of corn. We also prepared the meat for the filling. The dough had to be spread evenly across the husk，and each tamale folded carefully so it would not split open during steaming.According to the longstanding tradition at least in my family no one was allowed to leave the kitchen during the steaming. This could ruin the process. After all, no one wanted a bad tamale!I thought the family tamalemaking party would go on forever, but to continue a family_tradition,_you needed to have family. Mine had changed forever. My father, two of my brothers and my uncle died in a short span of time. Mom and I spent months in a state of sad loss. At Christmas friends asked, “Are we going to get tamales this year？” Passing tamales out to friends was one of the great joys of the season, after all. But we couldnt face it. Eventually, as the years went by, people stopped asking.One afternoon, just before Thanksgiving, my mother and I pushed an empty shopping cart through the supermarket. I rounded the corner into the next room and found her standing in front of a counter: packages of dough, bags of corn husks, dried spices all the materials for a perfect tamale.“Its time，” Mom said. I knew she was right. We set aside a Saturday to spend in the kitchen, just the two of us, alone with our thoughts.注意：1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右；2至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语；3续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；4续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。Paragraph 1：When we laid everything out I fell into the old routine.

We were for cleanup duty ourselves as we went along. Of course Daddy wasnt there to deal with the corn_husks. They hadnt been cleaned; they hadnt been in the water. We lit a candle for our relatives in heaven and got to work filling and folding the tamales. Neither of us stepped out of the busy kitchen until the steaming was plete. By the end of the day, we had many beautiful tamales to share with our neighbors and friends.Paragraph 2：My mother and I pronounced our tamalemaking a success, full of loving memories from the past and hopeful wishes for tomorrow.
