1.are injured 解析句意:在美国,每年超过2500人死于火灾,12,600人在火灾中受伤。句子缺少谓语动词,受伤的表达是beinjured,根据前后文可知使用一般现在时,主语是复数,故填areinjured。
2.But/Yet 解析句意:每天美国人都会经历火灾的恐惧,但是,大部分人并不懂火。根据语境可知,上下文是转折关系,置句首单词首字母大写,故填But/Yet。
3.yourself 解析句意:为了保护你自己,了解火的基本特征是重要的。根据语境,应该使用反身代词,故填yourself。
4.completely 解析修饰动词get应该使用副词做状语。故填completely。
5.to escape 解析thereislittletimetodosth.属于固定表达,time后用不定式做定语,故填toescape。
6.threatening 解析句意:热量比火焰更具有威胁性。此处指的是令人感到威胁的,应该使用动词-ing形式表示“令人……的”,故填threatening。
7.it 解析句意:在五分钟之内,一个房间会变得很热以至于屋内的一切东西开始燃烧。根据语境可知,it此处代指room,故填it。
8.direction 解析句意:如果你醒来发现着火了,你可能什么也看不见,不知道在哪里或应该去哪个方向。分析句子成分可知,应该使用名词direction做宾语,故填direction。 9.have lived 解析根据时间状语forages“好多年;好久”可推断,此处表示从过去一直延续到现在的动作,应该使用现在完成时,故填havelived。
10.a 解析句意:结果,你或许不能醒来及时逃脱。asaresult属于固定搭配,意思是“结果”。
