Lulu is a brave pet in our shelter. As you know, there are a lot of forest fires during the summer season. Many forests are badly damaged by fire each year. Not far from our shelter, a forest caught fire during this hot summer. We were in a heat wave which had been   31  for three days.

Lulu rushed towards the forest where flames sent out a terrible   32 ．I no longer had any hope that Lulu would come back to the shelter．In fact, I was waiting for the firemen to announce his   33  in the forest, when suddenly, a fireman burst into my shelter and informed me that my dog Lulu had   34    to save four kittens(小猫) who were trapped by the flames．According to the fireman, Lulu seized the kittens, one by one moving them to a safe place．I immediately accompanied(陪同) the fireman to the forest to   35    the rescued kittens．When we arrived   36   the scene of the incident, we found Lulu was not there. Then we heard the   37   of a dog from the forest barking furiously (猛烈地). I recognized it was my dog Lulu．The fireman followed the tracks of the dog until we found him barking   38   by the side of an injured fireman who was lying on the ground and desperately(绝望地) waiting for rescue．Thanks to Lulu, four kittens and a fireman were saved.

That day, I was very proud of Lulu for his two heroic(英雄的) 39   toward the kittens and the fireman．Lulu showed much compassion (同情) for both animals like him and for a human being who was trying to   40   the fire with his colleagues(同事)．

【解析】这是一篇记叙文，讲述了宠物狗Lulu不畏大火，勇敢营救的事迹。作者由此也懂得宠物也有爱心及同情心，我们应该爱护他们，因为有一天他们可能会对我们做出善行。

1.C 考查动词短语。take on“呈现，承担”；come on“跟着来，开始，出台，上演，快点”；keep on (＋doing)“继续”。这里需要一个表示“持续，继续”且相当于不及物动词的词组，只有go on符合要求。

2.A 考查名词。大火应该产生热。energy“能量”；fever“发烧”；burn“烧伤”，均不符合句意。

3.D考查名词。根据上文可知我没有指望Lulu能够重新回来，故此句意思是：其实，我在等待着消防人员来告知我Lulu的死讯。

4.C考查动词。根据下文可知，Lulu成功救出了4只小猫，故用manage to do (设法做成)；try to do “尽力做(不强调结果)”；want to do “想做”；fail to do“没做成”。

5.B考查动词短语。pick out“挑出”；pick up“接，拾起”；bring on“引起”；bring up“抚养”。根据上下文“我”同消防人员一起去接那四只被Lulu救了的小猫。

6.A考查介词。arrive at the scene到达现场。

7.D考查名词。根据后面的barking可知这里应填表示“声音”的词。voice“说话声，嗓音”，多用于人的声音；noise“噪音”，与语境不符；accent“口音”。

8.C考查副词。表示“大声地”叫，应用loudly。

9.B考查名词。表示具体的行为用action；reaction“反应”。

10.D考查动词短语。根据上下文可知消防人员应该在灭火。put off“推迟”；put away“把……收起来”；put up“举起，张贴”；put out“扑灭”。
