21、To most of us, home is the safest and warmest place in the world. But eighth graders at Shenzhen Sunshine Middle School are trying to figure out ways to escape their homes as quickly as possible in case of an emergency.

Teachers asked students to draw emergency evacuation (紧急撤离) maps of their homes to learn about how to escape in the event of a fire.

The project meant a lot to Shen Wei. When he was younger, the 10-year-old once played with fire and almost burned his family’s house down. Since then, the possibility of another fire has always been on his mind. By drawing the map, he said he was able to surmount his fear. Now, he is feeling relaxed.

On his map, Shen marked possible sources of fire at home, including the fridge, computer and bookshelves. He said these areas should be avoided in the event of a fire.

While most students only mapped out one evacuation route, Yan Jun, 13, made three. Yan and his parents live on the third floor of their building. At first, he thought his family could only escape by going down the stairs. But later, he got the idea from the way his family does laundry.

Usually, Yan’s family hang clothes on their balcony. Sometimes their clothes fall to the second floor because of the wind. Instead of walking down the stairs, Yan’s father sometimes climbs down outdoor air-conditioner units to get the clothes.

Does this sound like a good evacuation route? Yan also suggested using a rope to climb out the window. “With so many ways to evacuate, I won’t be scared, even if there is a real fire,” said Yan.

【1】What does the underlined word surmount mean?

A．reuse

B．keep

C．produce

D．control

【2】According to Shen, which of the following may not cause a fire?

A．Fridge.

B．Water tank.

C．Computer.

D．Bookshelves.

【3】How did Yan get inspiration (灵感) for his second evacuation route?

A．From his homework.

B．From the internet.

C．From his family’s laundry.

D．From his father’s job.

【4】Which of the following is a suitable title for this passage?

A．Escaping your home during a fire.

B．Safety rules during a fire.

C．Emergency situations in public.

D．Don’t be afraid of fire.

22、From the fall of 2022, primary schools started to have labor education (劳动教育). Every week, students would have at least one class to learn about cooking, raising animals, repairing home appliances (家电) and more. Now, in many primary schools, students have cooking classes. Of course, it has been discussed by teachers and parents. Some think that it is a useful skill for students, while others think it's a waste of time, some even think it's just a show. But do they really understand cooking?

It's been said that good cooking is an art form. The truth is that it's much more than that. When talking about different foods from all around the world, or cultures and histories of dishes, students are connected to the world and learning history and culture in a new field. When learning cooking, students measure (称量) materials from time to time, or find oil and water don’t usually mix. Students are also learning maths and science in practice.

The importance of failures in making food is as much as successes. Li Mei, 11, was crazy about the yummy cakes made by her father and wanted to make one on her own. But when taking her cake out, she was frustrated (沮丧的) to find that the cake was hard and black at the bottom. Her father told her when he was 13, he tried to make cakes, but wasted boxes of eggs. Then together with her father, Li Mei found out what had gone wrong and succeeded in making one. Li Mei learned in the failure of cooking, and could be braver to face failures.

Apart from the practical skills, cooking builds character. It encourages kids to work with others. It also encourages them to be open to foods they might not have tried. Though being good to our health, carrots were hated by 12-year-old Xiao Lei. But he started to love them after he made a salad with them. By cooking students put down their phones and work together with family members in the kitchen. By cooking, students form the habit of doing labor work. As a part of labor education, cooking is a way to teach kids some vital skills for 21st century, such as creativity, teamwork and so on. If these skills aren't taught to today's students, they might hardly survive (存活) in the future.

【1】The first paragraph is to ________.

A．lead in the topic of cooking

B．question the meaning of cooking

C．explain the courses in primary school

D．discuss the problems between teachers and parents

【2】The example of Li Mei tells us that ________.

A．cooking can help people avoid failure

B．there is no failure without success

C．failure is as important as success

D．cooking can make people braver

【3】What does the underlined word “vital” in the last paragraph mean?

A．Necessary

B．Difficult

C．Creative

D．Simple

【4】Which of the following is the best title?

A．Cooking—a Waste of Time

B．Cooking—an Art Show

C．Cooking—More Than a Skill

D．Cooking—a Way to Make a Living
