【解析】

文章大意：文章讲述了一场火灾的救援过程，以及成为消防员前要学习的知识，要学习火灾如何产生，如何灭火等等。

1.

句意：当消防车到达着火的大楼时，消防队员展开消防水管，并竖起梯子。

考查动词短语。put out扑灭；put on穿上；put off延期；put up举起，竖起。根据空后the ladders (梯子)，结合句意可知，此空是“竖起，举起”的意思，故选D。

2.

考查形容词。tight紧的；long长的；thin瘦的； early早的。结合句意可知，此空是“长的”意思，应填long故选B。

3.

句意：特殊的衣服保护他们不受热。

考查动词。protect保护；hurt伤害；offer提供；pack 包装。此空缺少谓语动词，根据句意可知，此空是“保护”的意思，应填protect，故选A。

4.

句意：那个男人被救了。

考查被动语态。disappear消失；returns归还； is saved被救；is hidden被藏。根据上句“Rapidly the firemen spread a rescue net.”可知，此空是“被救”的意思，要用一般现在时态的被动语态，应填is saved，故选C。

5.

句意：在一个人成为消防员之前，他会去一所特殊的学校学习火灾的起因，是什么使它们燃烧，以及如何将它们扑灭。
