Everyone needs to know how to prevent a fire. It is also important to know what to do when it     1    （break）out .

Every year, over 11, 000 people     2    （kill）or injured in house fires. These fires could have been avoided. Smokers who are     3    （care）cause about 200 deaths and over 6,000 fires. More than half of those     4     die in fires are poisoned or harmed by smoke.

If fire happens, do not attempt to fight the fire unless it is small. Try putting out a small fire with water. If     5     fire has spread or if the flames are more than 20 inches high, shut the door on it. Warn everyone else in the building and tell them to get out. You should leave and dial 119for the fire department.

Before     6    （go）into a room, check the door. If the handle or the door is hot, do not open it! Instead, put clothing or a wet towel at the bottom of it to keep smoke out. If the door is not hot, open it     7    （slow）. If there’s a rush of smoke or heat, close it again and shout to warn     8    （other）in side.

Now open the window and shout “Fire!”. See whether you can drop safely to the ground. Use this     9     your escape course if you can. If you are not on ground level, break your fall by pushing a mat out first. Lower yourself at arm’s     10    （long）before dropping. Once outside, stay outside and make sure the fire department is called.

Thousands of people gathered in the streets around the cathedral, watching the flames in silence. Some of them could be seen crying. Watching such a famous old building     2     (destroy) is extremely     3    (shock) to any French person.

No other site represents France like Notre-Dame,    4     receives almost 13 million visitors each year, more than the Eiffel Tower. The Eiffel Tower, is little more than a century old while Notre-Dame     5     (stand) tall above Paris since the 1200s. It has given     6     (it) name to one of the country’s literary masterpieces. Victor Hugo’s The Hunchback of Notre-Dame(《钟楼怪人》)is known     7     the French simply as Notre-Dame de Paris.

The three large rose     8    (window) have been destroyed by the fire. Fortunately, the main structure,     9    (include) the two bell towers, has been saved. Also the most     10     (value) cultural relics have survived.

4 . ON TUESDAY, the Shenzhen team of Blue Sky Rescue, a domestic nonprofit civil rescue team, confirmed that two of its members had died trying to rescue 24 tourists who had got into difficulties.

According to the official news, it was on Monday that the rescue team received a telephone call from 24 travelers, who were trapped in a river valley, with a storm on the way and one of the female travelers being badly injured.

The team responded immediately. However, when they helped the travelers, two team members got trapped by the rising river water. The next day, they were confirmed dead.

The two heroes who gave their own lives to save others are being mourned by all.

Who can rescue the rescuers? The question aroused a heated discussion among people. Most of them think we would rather such “heroic deeds” were not required. However, that depends on people being more sensible. we would rather such “heroic deeds” were not required. In the past several years, there have been many cases in which travelers, ignoring the signs saying certain areas are dangerous and off-limits, still have kept on “exploring” unpaved and unmarked regions and ended up needing to be rescued. By so doing, they put not only their own lives at risk but also the lives of those who go to their aid.

In this case, although the travelers may have been in an authorized area, they ignored the warnings of an approaching typhoon. It was extremely reckless (鲁莽的) of them to travel into the wild on such a day, as the local weather forecast had warned people against the impending typhoon. Two rescuers have lost their lives because of the thoughtlessness of others.

Although the majority of travelers behave properly, some attempt challenging tasks that are obviously beyond their abilities.

The law has already made it clear that if a traveler or group gets into difficulties when entering unauthorized regions, they must bear the costs of the rescue operations. The regulations need strengthening to deter travelers from putting their own lives and the lives of others at risk.

The fire lasted nearly an hour, and the majority of the 345 employees managed     3     (escape) from the fire. Unfortunately, 7were killed, and 23 injured, lightly or seriously.

Some workers     4     (complain) that aids came too late,     5     the firemen did come just 10 minutes after the fire was reported. To rescue everyone from the burning and smoking building in such a short time was too difficult. The only two exits of the big building were not enough for so many people to withdraw in    6    hurry.

7 . Notre-Dame de Paris, a cathedral church in Paris, is the most famous of the Gothic cathedrals of the Middle Ages. For the French, it represents something immortal, ever-present and unchanging, like a mountain. Built over almost two centuries, the Notre-Dame is, as President Emmanuel Macron said, “where the French lived all their great moments”. Soldiers prayed here before leaving for the Crusades; Napoleon Bonaparte was crowned here; it survived the French Revolution, two World Wars and the Nazi occupation. It is where men bend their knees to profess love and thousands of tourists take photos every day.

A fire, whose cause was not identified yet, engulfed(吞没), on April 15th, the cathedral's upper structure. More than 400 firefighters took part in the 15-hour battle to control the blaze(火苗) that triggered sorrow over the globe. The extent of the damage is still unknown, but the fire destroyed much of the gothic cathedral’s wood-timbered roof and spire(塔尖). The cathedral will certainly be restored (the French government promises), but the sight of flames bringing down the spire moved the world in a manner far exceeding its religious significance.

French Culture Minister Franck Riester on Thursday said the government would draw all the consequences from the huge flames that destroyed the centuries-old Notre Dame Cathedral, adding measures to protect the national heritage were on the table. “Staff from the fire department, the culture ministry and the city town hall rushed to the Cathedral, when the fire started, to protect the main artworks that were inside. The artworks, which include relics such as the Christ's crown of thorns and French king Saint-Louis's 13th century tunic, were first moved to the city town hall and will now be transferred to the nearby Louvre Museum .” the minister told Le Parisian newspaper in an interview without giving details on the possible measures.

9 . An Uber self-driving car hit and killed a woman crossing the street in Arizona, U.S., police said on Monday, marking the first death caused by an autonomous vehicle and a potential blow to the technology expected to transform transportation.

The ride services company said it was delaying North American tests of its self-driving vehicles, which are currently going on in Arizona, Pittsburgh and Toronto.

So-called robot cars, when fully developed by companies including Uber, are expected to thoroughly cut down on motor vehicle deaths and create billion-dollar businesses. But Monday's accident highlighted (凸显) the possible challenges ahead for the promising technology as the cars face real-world situations involving real people.

"This catastrophic accident highlights why we need to be exceptionally cautious when testing and applying autonomous vehicle technologies to public roads," said Edward Markey, a member of the transportation committee, in a statement. "Elaine Herzberg, 49, was walking her bicycle outside the crosswalk on a four-lane road in the Phoenix suburb of Tempe at about 10 p.m. MST Sunday when she was struck by the Uber vehicle traveling at about 65 kilometers per hour," police said. The car was in autonomous mode with an operator behind the wheel. U.S. federal safety officials were sending teams to investigate the crash. Canada's transportation ministry in Ontario, where Uber conducts are being tested, also said it was reviewing the accident.

"Uber and Waymo on Friday urged Congress to pass a law to speed the introduction of self-driving cars into the united states. However, some congressional (国会) representatives have blocked the legislation over safety concerns, and Monday's death could hamper passage of the bill, "congressional assistants said Monday.

1. According to the passage, which is the effect of the accident of the woman's being killed?

A．People will be cautious while crossing a road.

B．The woman's family will obtain a billion dollars.

C．The process of transforming transportation will be affected.

D．Self-driving vehicles will cut down on motor vehicles deaths.

B．The officials of the transportation ministry in Ontario were lookig into the crash

C．Elaine Herzberg was biking when she was hit by a self-driving car

D．We can't be too careful when introducing autonomous vehicle technologies to public roads

4. What is the author's purpose in writing the text?
