Ⅴ. 阅读理解
Luca was glad it was Saturday again. He didn't have to make the long bus trip to school. His mother was on the late shift（晚班）. Now that it was just the two of them，she did lots of late shifts.
Luca turned on the radio as he cleared the breakfast dishes. “Firemen warn spot fires（零星火灾）at the foot of the mountain may spread，” said the host. Luca could feel his heart racing. Just then，the phone rang.
“My dear，” came his mother's voice. “The firemen won't let me go back home. They say it's much too...” The line went dead. A moment later，the power cut out.
Luca stood in the kitchen and read the safety list they had prepared after that terrible accident. His mum told him how she wanted to be well prepared for anything.
Luca smelt the smoke in the air，so he acted quickly. He closed all the doors and windows and pushed towels and woollen blankets under all the doors. He filled the bath with water and took the radio and everything into the living room. Finally，with the last blanket over him，Luca got down low on the floor，and waited.
Listening to the fire shout outside，Luca wondered what would happen to his mum if she lost him too. After almost half an hour，Luca stood up. He knew he wasn't out of danger yet. He checked for spot fires and went down the house.
For days，there was news report after news report，describing how Luca had saved the house and himself. There were Luca's words in the paper too. “Sometimes things just happen. There is nothing you can do to change it. But when you are prepared，at least you're in there with a chance.”

A. Moving quickly.
B. Beating fast.

D. He was on business abroad.

【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了 Luca 在母亲无法回家且家中发生火灾时,凭借事先准备的安全知识和冷静的应对措施,成功保护了自己和家宅的故事。
1. D 解析:细节理解题。根据第三段“The firemen won't let me go back home. They say it's much too...”可知,妈妈不能回家是因为消防员拦住了她。故选 D。
2. B 解析:词义猜测题。根据第二段“Firemen warn spot fires at the foot of the mountain may spread”可知,消防员警告说,山脚下的零星火灾可能会蔓延,因此面对这种情况,Luca 应是非常紧张,心脏跳得很快。故选 B。
3. C 解析:推理判断题。根据“Luca stood in the kitchen and read the safety list they had prepared after that terrible accident.”以及“Luca wondered what would happen to his mum if she lost him too”可知,在那次可怕的事故之后他们准备了安全清单,以及他不知道如果妈妈也失去他会发生什么,因此可以推断父亲在那场事故中离世了。故选 C。
4. B 解析:标题归纳题。通读全文可知,Luca 的妈妈为了预防灾难做了很多准备,Luca 在明白火灾可能发生时,迅速做好了准备工作,最后保护了自己和家宅,本文的最佳标题应该与消防准备相关。故选 B。
