Fire!” What terrible words to hear when one wakes up in a strange house in the middle of the night! It was a large, old, wooden house and my room was on the top floor. I jumped out of bed, opened the door and stepped outside the house. There was full of thick smoke.I began to run, but as I was still only half-awake, instead of going towards the stairs I went in the opposite direction. The smoke grew thicker and I could see fire all around. The floor became hot under my bare feet. I found an open door and ran into a room to get to the window. But before I could reach it, one of my feet caught in something soft and I fell down. The thing I had fallen over felt like a bundle of clothes, and I picked it up to protect my face from the smoke and heat. Just then the floor gave way under me and I crashed to the floor below with pieces of burning wood all around me.I saw a doorway in fire, then I put the bundle over my face and ran. My feet burned me terrible, but I got through. As I reached the cold air outside, my bundle of clothes gave a thin cry, I nearly dropped it in my surprise. Then I was in a crowd gathered in the street. A woman in a night-dress and a borrowed man’s coat screamed as she saw me and came running madly.She was the Mayor’s wife, and I had saved her baby.31. When the fire arose in the middle of the night, the author was _______.A. at homeB. sleepingC. sitting in bedD. both A and B32.

Form which group of words, we can learn the fire took place out of people’s surprise?A. old and wooden house, a bundleB. crashed to, fell downC. terrible, half-awakeD. bare feet, a borrowed man’s coatBLight travels at a speed which is about a million times faster than the speed of sound. In one second, light travels about 300,000 km, but sound travels only 344m. You can get some idea of this difference by watching the start of a race. If you stand some distance away from the starter, you can see smoke come from his gun before the sound reaches your ears. This great speed of light produces (产生) some strange facts. Sunlight takes about 8 minutes to reach us. If you look at the light of the moon tonight, remember that the light rays（光线）left the moon 1.3 seconds before they reached you.The nearest star is so far away that the light which you can see from it tonightstarted to travel towards you four years ago at a speed of nearly 2 million km per minute. In some cases（在某种情况下）the light from one of tonight’s stars started on its journey to you before you were born.Thus, if we want to be honest, we cannot say “The stars are shinning tonight.” We have to say, “The stars look pretty. They were shining four years ago but their light has only just reached Earth.”36. If you stand 200 meters away from a man who is firing a gun to start a race, you will find out that _____.A. you can hear the gun before you see the smoke.B sound does not travel as fast as light.C the sound of the gun will reach you before the man fires his gun.D sound travels about a million times faster than light.37. .Sunlight clearly _____ than the light of the moon.A has to travel a greater distanceB moves less quicklyC travels much more quicklyD is less powerful38.
