Jiang Danni is a 24-year-old volunteer from East China. She has volunteered in schools in Lebanon and
countries in Africa. And videos about her experience have drawn many people’s attention.
After graduating from university in 2020, Danni chose to work in Africa for a year and then journeyed to
seven countries. A primary school in Uganda stopped her. She had a peaceful time getting to know the children at
the school. She taught children in Grades One to Four. Danni set up different kinds of classes for her students,
including Chinese language learning, cooking, and handicrafts (手工艺).
Danni also tried to care for the students. While staying at a school in Tanzania, she prepared lunch for 40
children below 5 years old. The school is so far from town. Danni needed to pass through a large forest and fields
before taking a bus for more than half an hour to get to the town. She went to the town to buy delicious food forthe kids.
In 2022, Danni arrived in Lebanon in Asia and became a volunteer teacher at a school. This time she taught
arts and crafts to her students. She added some interesting activities in her teaching such as paper cutting and the
making of paper ice cream in class. Her students all worked hard and enjoyed the creative activities.
______ Every time Danni arrived at the school, they would run to give her a hug or small gifts such as a
candy. And after school, they would invite her to their homes.
“I enjoyed spending beautiful moments with them. Their smiling faces gave me energy and encouraged me
to find meaning in volunteer work in different places,” Danni said. She has decided to further develop her dream
to help others as a lifetime career (终身事业).

Firefighters get a fire call every 24 seconds in the US on average (平均). Every 87 seconds, a home fire
happens. Just between January 1st, 2018 and January lst, 2023, 11, 180 home fire deaths happened in the country.
But the best escape time for a fire is just three minutes or less. So everyone should pay attention to fire safety at
home.
Avoid (避免) starting a fire by getting to know common causes. Cooking tools are the number-one cause of
home fires. Be especially careful when using them. Never leave the kitchen while cooking and make sure the tools
are completely off after cooking. Electrical appliances (电器) can result in a fire, so check them often to make
sure they are working properly. Smoking is another common cause of house fires. It’s never a good idea to smoke
indoors, so take a few steps to go out. Lastly, don’t forget little kids. They usually find fire exciting and think offire as a toy. So keep them away from fire and teach them about dangers of fire.
How can we prevent home fires? The following tips may help.
Get smoke alarms (烟雾报警器)
The first step is to set up enough smoke alarms through your home. Get one in every room.
Prepare fire extinguishers
Keep fire extinguishers available at home. They can put out small fires. Check them often to make sure
they work properly.
Create a plan for escape
A good plan should start with at least two escape ways from every room. Then know how fast your family
can run, tell kids when and how to get out, and make a house map with all doors and windows. At last, choose a
meeting place outside. And don’t forget to practice it often with every family member.
You might think that these fire safety tips are common sense (常识). However, it’s difficult to think of them
especially when you’re in a life-and-death moment. Take action with the tips and never take fire safety lightly at
home.
27．How does the writer start the passage?
A．By asking a question. B．By giving an example. C．By listing some numbers.
28．What has caused the most home fires?
A．Cooking tools. B．Electrical appliances. C．Smoking indoors.
29．Which of the following is probably a fire extinguisher?
A． B． C．
30．What is the main idea of the passage?
A．A lot of fire deaths happen every year.
B．Everyone should take fire safety seriously.
C．The cause of home fires and how to prevent them.

第三节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题。
In shops, restaurants and supermarkets around Beijing, you may notice a special place about 10 squaremeters in size. It is a service corner for outdoor workers to rest or to get some necessary things like water,
medicine and battery chargers(充电器).
These spaces are free for all outdoor workers to use. Without them, they have to take a break by the
roadside.
One restaurant near Xiyuan Subway Station provided space for the service corner. “Working in the
restaurant, I can see deliverymen (外卖员) all the time. I know how hard it is for them to make money,” said Li
Hui, the restaurant’s owner. “They sometimes can’t get hot water in winter. Service corners almost solve such
problems. That’s what I want to do for them. I hope the service corner can warm outdoor workers’ hearts.”
Now there are about 27, 000 service corners in Beijing, and it plans to add another 3, 900. Before the service
corners were built, 40-year-old deliveryman Zhang hoped to take a break indoors in order to get warm in winter or
to cool off in summer. But he usually didn’t. “It is comfortable to rest indoors. But I don’t want to trouble shop
owners. So, I would rest on my bike and play with my phone,” he said.
“I have to save money for my family, and sometimes I am so busy. So, I don’t even notice the service
corners. Neither do my co-workers. Maybe it will take a little time for me to get used to them,” Zhang said.
56．Where can people see the service corner for outdoor workers?
57．Why is the deliverymen’s job difficult according to Li Hui?
58．How many service corners will there be in Beijing in all?
59．What did Zhang do to relax himself in the past?
60．Do delivery men always rest themselves in the service corner?
