牛津版八年级下学期英语阅读理解专项训练Ⅱ

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中选出最佳选项。

    Smokejumpers are special firefighters. They jump from planes into areas that are difficult to reach by car or on foot, like the middle of a mountain forest. They race to put out fires as fast as they can.

    At a fire site, smokejumpers first check the land and decide how to fight the fire. They try their best to stop a fire from spreading. Using their tools, smokejumpers clear the land of burnable things like dry grass and leaves. They usually carry some water with them.

    In the US, although most smokejumpers are men, more women are joining. The important thing is that your height and weight must be within a certain range(范围). For example, smokejumpers in the US must be between 120 and 200 pounds, so they don't get hurt when they land, or get blown by strong winds.

    Smokejumpers must also be able to live in the wilderness. In Russia, many smokejumpers know how to find food in the forest and make simple tools.

    The work is dangerous, and the hours are long. But for smokejumpers, smokejumping isn't just a job. They love being able to jump out of planes, fight fires, and live in the forest. As 28-year-old proud Russian smokejumper Alexi Tishin says, "This is the best job for brave people."

(1)、How do smokejumpers go to their work site?

A、On foot. B、By train. C、By plane. D、By car.
(2)、The underlined word "burnable" in Paragraph 2 means "_______" in Chinese.

A、会动的 B、可燃的 C、易活的 D、可用的
(3)、As for smokejumpers in the US, _______.

A、they should be over 200 pounds B、most of them are under 28 years old C、they have proper height and weight D、there are no women smokejumpers
(4)、What can we know about Alexi Tishin?

A、He loves his job. B、He is American. C、He works for short hours. D、He lives in the wilderness.

My father and I used to climb the mountain near my house. Walking together, we used to talk much with each other. He always told me, "You should have goals like climbing the mountain." I really got a lot from the mountain-climbing time. It gave me chance to talk with my father. If we didn't climb the mountain, we couldn't have enough time to spend together because my father was very busy. I learned much from him. And it also gave me chance to think more carefully. What more, I learned to keep doing something or waiting for it for a along time. 

Once we climbed a very high mountain. It was so hard for me because I was only ten years old. During the first few hours of climbing, I enjoyed the flowers and trees, and the birds' singing; but as time passed, I got an ache in both of my legs. I wanted to give up climbing. In fact, I hated it at that time, but my father said to me "You can always see a beautiful sky at the highest place of the mountain, but you can't see it before you get there. Only there, can you see all of the nice things, just like in life."

At that time, I was too young to understand his words. But later after that, I got new hope and confidence. I found myself standing at the highest place of the mountain. And there, I could see the whole of the sky, and it was as clear as crystal(水晶).
