Over 100,000 wildfires burn each year in America. Russia has 20,000 to 35,000 wildfires every year. Australia has on average 60,000 each year. These fires destroy（损害）huge areas of forests and burn hundreds of homes.Many experts believe there are several reasons for this sudden increase in fires. The first reason is climate（气候）change. Recent weather has been warmer and drier. This leads to dangerous fire conditions.When lightening strikes（发生雷电），dry grass easily catches fire. Hot winds add to the problem. The wind spreads a fire quickly. In 2010, Russia had the hottest and driest summer in a century. In just one month, 500 fires destroyed over 2,000 homes. Some people lost their lives.Traditional fire-fighting practices are another reason for the increase in fires. In America, firefighters used to quickly put out every fire. They didn't allow the grass and trees to burn. As a result, today many forests have thicker vegetation（植被）.Thicker vegetation means more fuel（燃料）for fires. Also, without fires from time to time, forests become overcrowded and unhealthy. Some trees are dead. The dead wood then easily catches fire. So surprisingly, America has many more fires today partly because of its past fire-fighting practices.Scientists now understand that a fire can be a natural part of a healthy forest. As a result, countries like Australia allow more fires to burn naturally. Sometimes, fire fighters even start fires to get rid of（去除）dead wood. Of course, they carefully control the fires. The fire thins out old trees. This allows sunlight to reach the ground. As a result, fires help new trees to grow. Therefore, if a fire is not a serious threat（威胁）to people, firefighters may let it burn naturally.（1）Why did Russia have so many fires in one month in 2010?A . Because lightening spread the fire.B . Because there was much fuel for fires.C . Because there were not enough firefighters.D . Because it was unusually hot, dry and windy.（2）Why did Russia have so many fires in one month in 2010?A .

People's carelessness leads to dangerous fires.C . Australia allows all the fires to burn naturally.D . There are more fires in Russia than in the USA.（6）Which of the following is true according to the passage?A . Not all the fires in the forests must be put out.B .

Your best chance of doing this is to draw the attention of a passing plane.Body signals（信号）Pilots from different countries understand body signals if they have the correct training. When you wave your arms up and down in a straight line, it means "yes". When you point downwards and swing your arm from side to side, it means "no". If you want the pilot to know that it's safe to land, push your hands out in front of you and bend（弯曲）your knees. If you want to say that it's not safe to land, put your arms in the air and move them to one side.Smoke signalsThe smoke from a fire can be seen from far away, so it's a good way to draw attention. If the weather is dry, it isn't hard to start a fire. Remember, however, that fires can be very dangerous if they get out of control. Never light a fire unless you're sure that it can't spread. If the ground is dark, light smoke can be seen more easily. Green grass and leaves produce light smoke.Ground-to-air signalsIt's a good idea to build some signals, too. Use large pieces of wood to make the symbols(标记). If you can't find any wood, use earth. Some useful symbols are:F "I need food and water."II "I need medicine."I "I am badly hurt."X" I am unable to move from here."Pilots' repliesIf the pilot lowers the plane's wings from side to side, this means "message received and understood". (At night, the pilot flashes the plane's green lights.) If the pilots flies the plane in a clockwise circle, this means "message received but not understood".(At night, the pilot flashes the plane's red lights.)However, there is no signal which means "message not received". Why not?（1）Which picture means "it's not safe land"?A .B .C .D .（2）What can we learn from the passage?A . Swinging your arm from side to side means "yes".B . If the ground is dark, light smoke can't be seen.C . If you need some medicine, make a symbol "II".D . The pilots make replies with a blue light at night.（3）What is the passage mainly about?A . The explanation of building signals on an island.B . The importance of making signals on an island.C . Ways of sending out signals on a lonely island.D . Ways of receiving signals from a lonely island5. （8分）阅读下列短文，从下面每小题的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
