Most forest fires are caused by human carelessness, negligence or ignorance. Forest fire prevention, therefore, is mainly a problem of creating a better understanding of the importance of forests, an awareness of the danger of fire in the woods and a sense of personal responsibility to safeguard the forests from danger.
This is not an easy job. A city dweller, used to paved streets, does not easily change his smoking habits when he goes into the woods. Careless smokers are responsible for thousands of forest fires each year. Many of these are started when cigarette butts and matches are tossed from automobiles. Others are caused by hunters, hikers, fishermen or woods workers who are careless in disposing of their smoking materials. The Forest Service has posted rules in many of the National Forests that prohibit smoking except in certain designated areas. Many of the states have laws against throwing lighted materials from automobiles. The prevention of smoker-caused fires, however, depends upon changing the attitudes and behavior of millions of people who smoke in hazardous areas. (26)
The most important natural cause of fire is lightning. This accounts for 11% of forest fires on protected land for the entire nation. In the Western States, lightning causes a much higher percentage of fires than it does in the East. Advances in knowledge of fire weather are helping forest protection forces to know when to be alert for lightning-caused fires. Adequate and well-equipped forces can control them quickly and hold the damage to a minimum. (27) Experiments in "seeding" thunder clouds to prevent or control the lightning itself have been in progress for many years, but new breakthroughs are needed for any significant reduction in the lightning strikes.
26. What is the solution to preventing smoker-caused forest fires?
27. How can lightning-caused fires be controlled quickly?
28. What can we learn from the passage?
选项
A、Change the attitudes and behavior of the smoker.
B、Safeguard the forests from fire.
C、Make some laws to prohibit smoking.
D、Make more "No Smoking" warning signals.
答案
A
解析
细节题。从选项的关键词fire,forest,smoking,smoker可知,本题可能考查吸烟和火灾的关系。题干问怎样预防因吸烟引起的森林火灾,文章第2段结尾处提到“The prevention of smoker—caused fires,however,depends upon changing the attitudes and behavior of millions of people who smoke in hazardous areas.”,可以得知预防因吸烟引起的火灾主要依赖改变吸烟者的态度和习惯,因此正确答案是A。
