Question

What are you going to do if you are in a burning house? How will you escape? Do you know how to save yourself? Please read the following passage.
Escaping a fire is a serious matter. Knowing what to do during a fire can save you life. It is important to know the ways you can use and show them to everyone in the family, such as stairways and fire escapes, but not lifts.
From the lower floors of the buildings, escaping through windows is possible; learn the best way of leaving by windows with the least chance of serious injury.
The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground. An average(平均) person, hanging by the finger-tips will have a drop of about six feet to the ground. It is about the height of an average man. Of course, it is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building.
Windows are also useful when you are waiting for help. Be sure to keep the door closed, or smoke and fire may be drawn into the room. Keep your head low at the window to make sure that you get fresh air rather than smoke that may leaked(滲) into the room.
On a second or third floor, the best windows for escape are those that open onto a roof. From the roof a person can drop to the ground more safely. Dropping onto cement(水泥) might end in injury. Bushes(灌木叢) and grass can help to break a fall.

【小題4】B解析:
如果房屋著火了，你將做什么？怎樣逃生？你知道怎樣自救？
【小題1】從句子It is important to know the ways you can use and show them to everyone in the family，…可知，當房子著火后，最重要的是你要知道the ways to escape the fire（逃生方式），故答案選B.
【小題2】在短文的第2段說到…from the lower floors of building escaping through windows is possible.故選C.
【小題3】在短文中特別強調在大火發生時，人們可以從 stairways 和 fire escapes逃生， but not lifts（但不能從電梯），因為那是相當危險的。
【小題4】通讀全文后，短文的大意很明顯，在著火的大樓中自救的方法應是短文的主題，故選B.
