Homes are damaged, and thousands of people die. Smokejumpers help to stop this.• What is a smokejumper?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.• What do smokejumpers do?At a fire site, smokejumpers first examine the land and decide how to fight the fire. Using basic tools, smokejumpers clear land of burnable material, like plants. They carry water with them, too, but only a limited amount. • Who can be a smokejumper?Although most smokejumpers are men, more women are joining. Most important are your height and weight. Smokejumpers in the U. S., for example, must be 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. The work is dangerous, and the hours are long. 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, “This is the best job for tough guys.”11. When getting to a fire site, the first thing a smokejumper does is ________.A. to look for toolsB. to carry waterC. to clear the plantsD. to study the land12. If you want to be a smokejumper, you must _________.A. be over 91 kilogramsB. be older than 28C. learn to survive in the wildernessD. learn to fly planes and helicopters13. We can learn from the passage that ________.A. women are not allowed to be smokejumpersB. smokejumpers put out fires in areas that are hard to reachC. smokejumpers can be easily blown away by the strong windsD. all smokejumpers are good at making different kinds of furniture14. The last paragraph mainly talks about ________.A. the danger smokejumpers faceB. the skills a smokejuinper must learnC. the reason why people become smokejunipersD. the experience a Russian smokejumper once had15. The passage can probably be found in the ________ section of a magazine.A. careerB. cultureC. sportsD. healthBPublic toilets are known for a number of things, and they’re almost all bad — dark, dirty, smelly, scary, and depending on where they’re located, crowded. There’s nothing worse than needing to use the restroom only to catch sight of a public toilet and then walk up to see that it’s occupied （占用）. However, the first transparent （透明的）public toilets in Tokyo arc way cooler than you can imagine. Designed by Shigeru Ban Architects, a Pritzker Prize-winning architecture company, the two new sets of transparent toilets have been built in two Shibuya parks in Tokyo. The toilets are lined with transparent glass. When not in use, the three stylish units are almost completely see-through, with purple glass for men and pink for women, as well as a yellow unit for changing babies. The real trick, however, comes when you enter and lock the doors. Nobody wants to have people watching them while they’re doing their business. When you lock the doors, the glass panels turn opaque to provide privacy. When the door is unlocked, the glass becomes transparent once again. "This allows users to check the cleanliness and whether anyone is using the toilet from the outside", says a statement on the project’s official website, Tokyotoilet. jp. "At night, the toilets lights up the park like a beautiful lantern. "It remains to be seen whether people in Tokyo will decide that these new and improved restrooms are worthy of use, but I can’t imagine why anyone wouldn’t want to spend some time in them.16.

The writer’s attitude （态度）towards the transparent public toilets may be________.A. supportiveB. doubtfulC. worriedD. uninterestedCShenzhen is pushing forward on its mass vaccination campaign （大规模疫苗接种）against COVID-19. But how are the vaccines being stored, transported and handed out before citizens get them? A reporter with Shenzhen Special Zone Daily might provide you with the answer. At 2 a. m., a temperature-controlled vehicle filled with vaccines drove into Sinopharm’s logistics center in Longhua District. After the unloading, the workers of the center first checked the vaccines carefully. They must make sure the vaccines were stored within the temperature range of 2°C -8°C all the way. Then the vaccines were sent to a special storehouse with the same temperature range. Boxes of vaccines were placed on pallets to avoid direct contact with the ground, as that might affect the storage temperature of the vaccines. "Each vaccination site has made a plan for vaccine usage one or two days ahead of time and the vaccines are sent to the sites across the city by temperature-controlled vehicles, '' said Xie Xu, head of the immunization program of Shenzhen Center for Disease Control and Prevention. At 9:25 a. m., the COVID-19 vaccines arrived at the lobby of the Jingtian Community Health Center of Jingtian Hospital after a two-hour drive from the storehouse. During the transportation, the temperature of the vaccines was recorded every five minutes. Chen Li, a doctor with the health center, carefully checked the vaccines, put them in a special fridge and recorded detailed information. "We would refuse to accept the vaccines if the temperature isn't normal or the outer package has any leakage（渗漏）, " said Chen.21. The vaccines can't be kept properly if the temperature is set at ________.A. 10°CB. 8CC. 6°CD. 2°C22.
