22、技能拯救我们的生命，我们应为他们感到骄傲。【核心词汇】as a result of由于，因为(其后跟宾语)be proud of为感到骄傲1D根据该句中的“the electric fence sparked(冒火花)and _1_ a fire”可知，此处表示一场火灾开始了。D项意为“开始，使开始发生”，符合语境。prevent“阻止”；permit“允许”；witness“目击”。2D直到大火堵住了通往唯一的门的路，我们才发现大火。此处考查“not.until.”结构。3A根据语境可知，“我”想(wanted)跳过篱笆，到达安全地带，可是大火包围了我们。manage“设法做成”；promi

23、se“许诺”；happen“发生”。4B由上文可知，大火包围了我们，“我”只能惊恐地看着火焰继续上升。in horror“惊恐地”；in anger“生气地”；in excitement“兴奋地”；in embarrassment“尴尬地”。5C根据第二段第一句中的“my father began telling us about his days as a firefighter”可知，父亲曾经是一名消防员。carpenter“木匠，木工”；electrician“电工”；educator“教育工作者”。6A本题考查be armed with的省略结构作状语，意为“用装备或武装”，故选A项。

24、satisfied“满意的，满足的”；shared“共有的”；identified“可辨认的”。7C根据语境可知，父亲应该是冲(dashed)向最近的池塘。slide“滑行”。8C根据上下文可知，此处指开始用水喷向火焰(flames)。9D根据语境可知，此处表示然而很快，风又变强了。pick up“变大，变强”，符合语境。die off“相继死去，先后死去”；take on“呈现，开始具有(某种特征、面貌等)”；turn out“结果是，证明是”。10B根据下文中的“he jumped into the truck”可知，父亲走向卡车。11B考查连词。A项意为“如果”，引导条件状语从句；B项意

25、为“一就，一旦”，引导时间状语从句；C项“自以来，因为，既然”；D项“当时候，尽管”。由上下文可知，此处指父亲一到达大门，就跳进了卡车里。故选B项。12A根据语境可知，父亲开着卡车从火中穿过。through“通过，穿过”，表示运动发生在某物的空间内；along“沿着”；over“在上面”；across“从一边到另一边，横过”，表示动作发生在物体的表面。13B根据语境可知，父亲开着卡车从火中穿过，火最终被扑灭了，所以母亲睁大(wide)眼睛看着父亲。14A根据下文中的“asking him what other jobs he had done”可知，我们是很好奇的(curious)。suspi

26、cious“怀疑的，猜疑的”；concerned“(与某事)有关的，有牵连的”； anxious“焦虑的，不安的，担心的”。15C根据语境可知，我们问父亲在退休(retired)之前还做过其他什么工作。下文中的“to retire”也是提示。16A根据第三段对父亲退休前工作的描述可知，父亲做过很多事情，所以此处指除了做脑外科手术之外，父亲几乎什么都做过。everything except“除了之外什么都”符合语境。17D由上下文可知，那场事故迫使(forced)父亲退休。18B根据上下文可知，此处指那场事故(accident)。attempt“尝试”； explanation“解释”。19Bb

27、e proud of “为感到骄傲”符合语境。ashamed“(因自己所做的事而)羞耻的，内疚的，惭愧的”。20C根据上文可知，此处指他们的技能(skills)有朝一日可能拯救你的生命。四、教材与话题写作()用本单元所学知识完成下列句子。1大卫是一个谨慎而成功的商人，他的一项新产品获得了专利。(cautious; patent; product)_ 答案：David, who was a cautious and successful businessman, got a patent for his new product.2这项产品很畅销，但是后来他发现这款产品没有达到标准。(criter
