Most home fires occur in the kitchen while cooking and are the leading cause of injuries from fire. Common causes of fires at night can be particularly dangerous because they may burn slowly for a long period before being discovered.
Home fires are preventable! The following are simple steps that each of us can take to prevent a tragedy.
Cooking
Stay in the kitchen when you are cooking especially frying. If you leave the kitchen for even a short period of time, turn off the stove.
Do not cook if you are sleepy, or have been drinking alcohol.
Keep children away from cooking areas.
Smoking
If you smoke, smoke outside. Most home fires caused by smoking materials start inside the home. Put your cigarettes out in a can filled with sand.
Make sure cigarettes and ashes are out. The cigarette really needs to be completely put out in an ashtray or in water before your throwing them away.
Check for cigarette butts. Don't put ashtrays on chairs and sofas because they catch fire fast. Never smoke in a home where oxygen is used, even if it is turned off.
Children
Take the mystery out of fire play by teaching children that fire is a tool, not a toy.
Store matches and lighters out of children's reach and sight, preferably in a locked box.
Teach children not to pick up matches or lighters they may find. Instead, they should tell an adult immediately.
Electrical Equipment, Fireplaces and Woodstoves
Replace all worn, old or damaged wires immediately and do not run wires under rugs or furniture.
Examine and clean woodstove pipes and chimneys yearly and check monthly for damage.
Never burn trash, paper, or green wood.

故选B项。

10. 答案 C
解析此处升华主题。

根据原书作者的观点，能做自己喜欢的事，而且把它做好，就能成功；根据本文作者的观点，我们都认为那些成功的人，一定是在做自己喜欢的事，因为他们把这
些事做好了。

故选C项。

The repairs __4__(assess) at around ￡29 million. Big Ben __5__(fall) silent is a significant milestone in this __6__(extreme) important conservation project. This important program of works will safeguard the clock __7__ a long－term basis, as well as protecting and preserving its home.
Big Ben is the name of the bell inside the tower (St. Stephen's Tower, renamed Elizabeth Tower in 2012), and not the building or the clock simply __8__(know) as the Great Clock itself.
The chimes were last silent in 2007 during conservation and before that from 1983 to 1985 during a period of refurbishment(翻新). Londoners, however, needn't worry __9__ Big Ben will continue to strike for important __10__(nation) events such as New Year's Eve and Remembrance Sunday.
答案与解析
【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。

大本钟是英国伦敦的地标性建筑，因要对其进行保护性修缮，自2017年8月21日起大本钟将不再敲响。

但像新年前夜和阵亡将士纪念日这种重要的全国性活动，它将仍然会为伦敦市民报时。

1. 答案 a
解析考查冠词。

大本钟被认为是伦敦的一个地标性建筑。

此处表示泛指，故填不定冠词a。

2. 答案it
解析考查代词。

去伦敦旅游的游客可能会感到遗憾，他们在之后的几年里听不到钟声了。

分析句子结构可知，空处在此作形式宾语，真正的宾语是后面that引导的从句。

故填it。

3. 答案attractions
解析考查名词复数。

大本钟的钟声是伦敦最有名的魅力之一。

根据语境及句中的“one of”可知此处应填attractions。

4. 答案are assessed
解析考查动词的时态和语态。

此处描述客观情况，应用一般现在时；又因assess与the repairs之间是被动关系，应用被动语态。

故填are assessed。

5. 答案falling
解析考查非谓语动词。

fall与Big Ben之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，应用现在分词作后置定语。

故填falling。

6. 答案extremely
解析考查副词。

空处修饰形容词important，故用副词extremely“非常”。

7. 答案on
解析考查介词。

basis在此意为“基准；准则；方式”，常用于“on a ... basis”结构中。

例如on a daily/weekly/monthly basis“按每天/每周/每月一次的标准”；on a regular/permanent/part－time/temporary basis“以定期/永久/兼职/临时性的方式”。

8. 答案known
解析考查非谓语动词。

know与the clock之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，应用过去分词作后置定语。

故填known。

9. 答案because
解析考查状语从句。

但是伦敦人不用担心，因为大本钟会继续为像新年前夜和阵亡将士纪念日这样重要的全国性活动报时。

分析句子结构可知，空处在此引导原因状语从句，前面是果，后面是因，故填because。

10. 答案national
解析考查形容词。

空处修饰名词“events”，应用形容词。

故填national“国家的；全国的”。

Ⅳ. 短文改错
When the supermarket cashier had added to my groceries, it was $ 12 over what I had on me. I begin to remove items embarrassed from the bag, when another shopper han ded me a $20 note. “Please don't put yourself out，” I told him. “Let me tell you story，” he said. “My mother is in the hospital with cancer. I visit her every day and bring her a bunch of flower. I went this morning, and she got very much angry with me for spend my money on more flowers. She demanded that I did something else with that money. But, here, please accept this. It's your mother's flowers.”
答案与解析
1. 答案第一处：to→up
解析当超市收银员在累加(add up)“我”购买的食品杂货时，其总价钱比“我”所带的钱还要多12美元。

add to表示“添加”，add up“把……加起来”，故此处应把to改为up。

2. 答案第二处：begin→began
解析此处是在描述发生在过去的事情，应用一般过去时。

3. 答案第三处：embarrassed→embarrassedly
解析此处用副词embarrassedly“尴尬地”来修饰动词remove。

4. 答案第四处：story前加a
解析story为可数名词，且此处表示泛指，story的发音以辅音音素开头，故需加冠词a。

5. 答案第五处：flower→flowers
解析根据flower是可数名词可知，此处应用其复数形式。

a bunch of flowers“一束花”。

6. 答案第六处：删除angry前的much
解析此处修饰形容词angry，应用very，much多余。

7. 答案第七处：spend→spending
解析介词后应使用动名词作宾语。

8. 答案第八处：did→do
解析demand“要求”后的宾语从句要用虚拟语气，谓语动词使用“should＋do”的形式，其中should可以省略。

故把did改为do。

9. 答案第九处：But→So
解析根据语境可知，此处表示结果，故把But改为So。

10. 答案第十处：your→my
解析根据语境可知，此处指“我妈妈的花”，故把your改为my。
