1、 was 8-year-old Tiara Roberts, the womans granddaughter and a playmate of Surrells three youngest kids, then 8, 10, and 12. The other two on the porch were Tiaras aunt and cousin. Entering the burning house was like running into a bucket of black paint, Surrell says. The thick smoke caused him to st
2、umble blindly around, burned his eyes, and made it impossible to breathe. The conditions would have been hazardous for anyone, but for Surrell, who has chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (慢性阻塞性肺疾病), they were life-threatening. He was the last person who should have run into a burning building- he
3、 has lung disease. But that didnt stop him. After a few minutes in the smoke filled house, he retreated outside to catch his breath. Where is Tiara? he asked desperately. The second floor. her aunt shouted back. Surrell knew he couldnt hold his breath for long. So he uttered a little prayer, Well, L
4、ord, this is it. You gotta help me, because Im not coming out without that little girl. Taking a deep breath, he went in a second time. The darkness was overwhelming. Yet because the house had a similar layout to his, he found the stairs and made it to the second floor. He turned to the right and wa
5、s met by intense heat. He was already out of breath.Baby girl, where are you? His throat and lungs burned as if hed inhaled fire instead of the smoke and soot in the air. Every blink stung his eyes. All he could hear was the crackling and popping of burning wood. .Still unable to see, Surrell fell t
6、o his knees on the hot wood floor. He crawled toward the sound, feeling around for any sign of the girl. An ominous thought crossed his mind: Im probably gonna die up here. Finally he touched something. A shoe, then an ankle. He pulled Tiara toward him. Her body was limp and she wasnt breathing. He
7、scooped her into his arms and stood. He felt the heat of the flames on his cheeks. Turning, he fought through the smoke and ran blindly into the blackness. The next thing he knew, he was at the front door, then outside. Surrell put Tiara down on the porch. . A voice told him, You have to breathe for
8、 her. He started CPR -the first time hed ever done so. The women stood behind him, praying silently. Soon a soot-filled cough came from Tiaras throat. Surrell gave five more breaths. She coughed again. Her eyes flickered. He gave one final breath. She opened her eyes and took a breath on her own. .T
9、heir eyes met. Surrell hugged her tight and said, Uncles got you. Soon after, his throat closed off. Surrell woke up in the hospital a couple of days later, having suffered severe burns to his windpipe and the upper portion of his lungs. He spent over a week in the hospital. Tiara was released from
10、the hospital after a few days. The fire exacerbated Surrells pulmonary condition, and he feels the effects even two years later. As a result, he takes extra medication that helps open his airways. Its a small price to pay, he says. Id do it again in a heartbeat. Wouldnt give it a second thought.(1)M

14、ication(6)What can be a suitable title for the passage?A.Breathe for HerB.Struggle to surviveC.A small price to payD.A man with lung disease【答案】 (1)B(2)D(3)A(4)A(5)C(6)A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,一个患有慢性阻塞性肺疾病的人不顾个人安危去邻居家着火的房子里成功救出小女孩,因此造成他肺部疾病加重,但是他对自己所做的从不后悔。 (1)考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“Though the fire department had
15、 been called, Surrell, then 64, instinctively ran inside.”虽然已经给消防队打电话了,但当时64岁的萨雷尔还是本能地跑了进去,可知Surrell跑进去救婴儿是因为本能驱使,这里instinctively本能地是instinct的副词形式,故选B。 (2)考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“but for Surrell, who has chronicobstructive pulmonary disease (慢性阻塞性肺疾病),they were life-threatening” 但对于患有慢性阻塞性肺疾病的Surrell来说,当时的火势
16、对他来说是危及生命的,所以Surrell是最不应该冲进着火大楼的人,故选D。 (3)考查细节理解。根据第四段中的“After a few minutes in the smoke filled house, he retreated outside to catch his breath.”在烟雾弥漫的房子里呆了几分钟后,他退到外面喘口气,可知在烟雾弥漫的房子里救人,期间Surrell不得不出来喘口气,故选A。 (4)考查推理判断。 第一个空前“All he could hear was the crackling and popping of burning wood.” 他只能听到燃烧木头
17、的噼噼啪啪声,选项A“Then a weak but distinct voice emerged” 然后出现了一个微弱但清晰的声音,句子中的Then在时间上承接前一句,空格后一句“Still unable to see” 还是看不见,承接选项A“一个微弱但清晰的声音”,可以判断听到声音但还是看不见人,故选A。 (5)考查细节理解。根据最后一段中的“The fire exacerbated Surrells pulmonary condition.” 大火加剧了Surrell的肺部疾病, 可知Surrell的病情变得更严重了,故选C。 (6)考查主旨大意。根据倒数第三段中的“A voice t
18、old him, You have to breathe for her. He started CPR . She opened her eyes and took a breath on her own.”可知,Surrell给女孩做人工呼吸,女孩最终可以自己呼吸活过来了,人能活下来要呼吸给心肺供氧,呼吸非常重要,用breathe for her做主题引申Surrell挽救了女孩的生命,故选A。 【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解,推理判断和主旨大意三个题型的考查,是一篇故事类阅读,要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上,进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系,进行分析,推理,概括和归纳,从而选出正确答案。2阅读理
