One of the greatest heartbreaks for firefighters occurs when they fail to rescue a child from a burning building because the child, frightened by smoke and noise, hides under a bed or in a closet and is later found dead. (19)Saddest of all is when children catch a glimpse of the masked firefighter but hide because they think they have seen a monster. (20)To prevent such tragedies, firefighter Eric Velez gives talks to children in his community, explaining that they should never hide during a fire. He displays firefighters’ equipment, including the oxygen mask, which he encourages his listeners to play with and put on. "If you see us," Velez tells them, "don’t hide! We are not monsters. We have come to rescue you." Velez gives his presentations in English and Spanish. Growing up in San Francisco, he learned Spanish from his immigrant parents. Velez and other firefighters throughout North America, who give similar presentations, will never know how many lives they save through their talks. But it’s a fact that informative speaking saves lives. For example, several months after listening to an informative speech, (21)Pete Gentry in North Carolina rescued his brother who is choking on food, by using the method taught by student speaker, Julie Paris. (22)In addition to saving lives, informative speakers help people learn new skills, solve problems and acquire fascinating facts about the exciting world in which they live.
19. Why do some children trapped in a burning building hide from masked firefighters?
20. What does the passage tell us about firefighter Eric Velez?
21. What do we learn about Pete Gentry?
22. What message is the speaker trying to convey?
选项
A、He saved the life of his brother choking on food.
B、He rescued a student from a big fire.
C、He is very good at public speaking.
D、He gives informative talks to young children.
答案
A
解析
短文提到Pete Gentry挽救了他吃东西噎着的弟弟。所以答案为A。此题考查文中举例处,这种地方常设考点,要留意听清。B“他从大火中救出了一个学生”、C“他很擅长公众演讲”和D“他给小孩子作常识普及演讲”虽都有原文原词,但内容与问题不符。
