Stuck in a lift?These holes can help you out.Yes,that tiny hole you see on the lift door.It might just save your life.Say the lift you’re in stops at a floor and the doors don’t open.It could be a power failure or an equipment conkout.But getting out isn’t easy.Lifts are equipped with lots of features to prevent the doors from opening freely or when they’re between floors.
“Getting stuck in lifts is dangerous and helpless,”says Robert Solomon,the director of Building Fire Protection & Fire Protection Systems for the National Fire Protection Association.“What you’ll usually see is the fire department,or sometimes the building repairman,will get on the spot and use some procedures to get the people out while the problem is being worked out and hopefully repaired.”
That’s where those small holes come in.Opening the doors requires a special tool called a hoistway(电梯井道) door unlocking key.It gets inserted into the lift door to open it.Since the fire code began requiring it in the 1970s,some makers have equipped their lift with it.
The keys are usually used by a restricted number of people,such as the lift mechanics or building caretakers.The fire code also requires that special access tools for each building be kept in a specified secure area such as a KnoxBox that firefighters can open.Fortunately,it’s rare that using the keys is necessary,Solomon says.
12.What does the underlined word “conkout” in the first paragraph mean?
A.Upgrade. B.Repair.
C.Breakdown. D.Check.
答案C
解析词义猜测题。根据画线词前后的“Saytheliftyou’reinstopsatafloorandthedoorsdon’topen.Itcouldbeapowerfailure”和“Butgettingoutisn’teasy.”可知,该处主要讲的是电梯出现故障,因此conkout与breakdown含义接近。故选C项。
13.Whatdothesmallholesintheliftdoorserveas?
A.Keyholes. B.Monitors.
C.Airholes. D.Decorativeobjects.
答案A
解析推理判断题。第一段就提到电梯门上的小洞可以帮助被困在电梯中的人出来,第三段就讲述了这个小洞是怎么起作用的:特殊的开电梯门的钥匙可以插进来打开电梯门。由此可推知,电梯门上的小洞相当于钥匙孔。故选A项。
14.Whereshouldtheunlockingkeybeput?
A.Inarepairman’stoolbox.
B.Inaspecialsafeplace.
C.Atthebuildingcorner.
D.Behindtheliftdoor.
答案B
解析细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“ThefirecodealsorequiresthatspecialaccesstoolsforeachbuildingbekeptinaspecifiedsecureareasuchasaKnoxBoxthatfirefighterscanopen.”可知,特殊的开门工具应放置在指定的安全区域;再由第三段中的“Openingthedoorsrequiresaspecialtoolcalledahoistwaydoorunlockingkey.”可知,这种专用工具就是打开电梯井道门的钥匙。故选B项。
15.Whatcanbeasuitabletitleforthetext?
A.Thepeoplewhoshouldrepairthelifts
B.Thestepsyouescapefromabrokenlift
C.Specialfeaturesliftsareequippedwith
D.Thereasonwhyliftshavesmallholes
答案D
解析主旨大意题。全文围绕电梯门上的小洞的用途展开,故D项符合题意。

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Many Chinese students have studied English for about ten years,but most of them cannot even speak English correctly or fluently.In my opinion,there are several obstacles that have caused this to happen.The main obstacle is fear!Another is the habit of mentally translating from Chinese to English and then to change these thoughts into spoken words and sentences.Many of these difficulties are caused by the way Chinese people study and learn the language.
We must learn to speak as a child does.When we are learning a second language,we need to remember how we learned our native language.Learning to understand and speak a language is one of the first skills a child develops.How does a child learn the language?He listens for a time and then he tries to repeat the words.Parents give great praise for the smallest effort and slightest improvement.Therefore,the child develops courage and is excited about learning.It takes a long time before he knows anything about grammar,spelling or formal sentence structures.
As for language teachers,they should avoid criticism and be very encouraging and generous with praise.Criticism or pointing out faults too often causes students to lose self-confidence and develop a fear of speaking.The best way to motivate a student is using praise.
The most important aspect of speaking is having good self-esteem.Self-esteem is how you feel about yourself.When most Chinese people are asked how their English is,or they are told their English is very good,they immediately respond by saying,“Oh,my English is very poor.”If you say this to yourself often enough,you will believe it.When someone compliments(称赞) you,just say “thank you”.
参考范文
Caused by their fear and way of learning,many Chinese students cannot speak English fluently even after ten-years’learning.Actually we should learn to speak English as a child learns his native language by listening and repeating a lot.And teachers should praise and encourage rather than criticisestudents,just as parents do.Finally,having good self-esteem is of vital importance in speaking English.
