Every year, wildfires destroy millions of hectares of forest land. ____16____ Smokejumpers help to stop this.
___17___ Smokejumpers are a special type of firefighter. They jump from planes or are lowered by helicopters into areas that are difficult to reach by car or on foot, such as the middle of a mountain forest. They race to put out fires as fast as they can.
At a fire site, smokejumpers first examine the land and decide how to fight the fire. Their main goal is to stop a fire from spreading. Using basic equipment such as shovels and axes, smokejumpers clear land of burnable material, like plants and other dry material.___18___
Although the majority of smokejumpers are men, more women are joining.___19___ For example, smokejumpers employed in the U.S. must be 120 to 200 pounds(54 to 91 kilograms) so they don’t get blown away by the strong winds or get hurt when they land.
Smokejumpers must also be capable of surviving in the wilderness. In Russia, many smokejumpers know how to find food in the forest and even make simple furniture from trees. ____20____But for these firefighters, smokejumping isn't just a job. They love being able to jump out of planes, fight fires, and live in the forest. As 28-year-old Russian smokejumper Alexi Tishin says,\A. What is a smokejumper?
B. How do smokejumpers do it?
C. More important are your height and weight.
D. It means the work is dangerous and takes a long time. E. And homes are damaged, and thousands of people die. F. They carry water with them, too, but only a limited amount.
G. Hot weather and fast-moving winds often make these fires more dangerous. 【答案】16. E 17. A 18. F 19. C 20. D 【解析】
本文是一篇说明文，介绍了smokejumpers这一特殊的职业。 【16题详解】
根据后一句话Smokejumpers help to stop this. “this”指的就是火造成的损失和伤害，所以说选择E项“同时，家园被毁，生命失去”，与前文森林被烧毁是并列关系。故选E。 【17题详解】
这一段解释了什么是smokejumpers。空格处与Smokejumpers are a special type of firefighter. 构成了自问自答的关系。故选A。 【18题详解】
前文谈到了smoke jumpers在工作期间需要携带的东西，因此这一空进一步阐述他们也会携带水，too是关键词。故选F。 【19题详解】
从后文的例子可知，说到了这一职业对于体重的要求，所以选择C项表明“比起性别，更重要的是体重和身高”。故选C。 【20题详解】
后文赞美了这一职业，因此前文选择D项“工作虽然很危险，需要花很长的时间，但是对于他们来说，这不仅仅是一份工作，他们很喜欢自己有能力跳下飞机救森林大火。”故选D。
