A school bus driver in Georgia, US, did a very good thing early last Friday morning. Her name is Marlene Davis. She helped a family get out of a burning house.
That morning, Davis was driving her bus as usual. When she passed a house, she saw smoke and fire coming out of it. Davis was very worried. There was one student on her bus, but Davis quickly stopped and ran to the house. She rang the doorbell many times.
At last, a man opened the door. He was asleep and didn’t know his house was on fire. Thanks to Davis, all people in the house got out safely.

解析:选D。D细节理解题。文章第一句明确提到“A school bus driver in Georgia, US, did a very good thing... Her name is Marlene Davis.” 由此可直接得知玛琳・戴维斯的职业是校车司机。其他选项(教师、消防员、学生)在文中均无提及。故选D。
2.2. How did Davis know the house was on fire?
A She heard a cry.
B She saw smoke and fire.
C She got a call.
D She smelled something bad.
解析:选B。B细节理解题。文章第二段写道:“When she passed a house, she saw smoke and fire coming out of it.” 这说明戴维斯是通过亲眼看到烟雾和火苗得知房子着火的。其他选项(听到哭声、接到电话、闻到异味)均未在文中出现。故选B。
3.3. What did Davis do first after seeing the fire?
A She drove away.
B She called for help.
C She stopped the bus.
D She woke the man up.
解析:选C。C细节理解题。文章第二段描述:“Davis quickly stopped and ran to the house.” 可见她先停下了校车,然后才跑向房子。选项A(开车离开)与事实相反;选项B(呼救)和D(叫醒男子)都是后续动作,并非第一反应。故选C。
4.4. Why didn’t the man know about the fire?
A He was asleep.
B He was scared.
C He was busy.
D He was ill.
解析:选A。A细节理解题。文章第三段明确指出:“He was asleep and didn’t know his house was on fire.” 因此男子不知起火的原因是他当时正在睡觉。其他选项(害怕、忙碌、生病)文中均未提及。故选A。
5.5. What can we learn about Davis from the story?
A She is lazy.
B She is shy.

D She is funny.
解析:选C。C推理判断题。故事中戴维斯发现火情后立即停车并跑向燃烧的房子,反复按门铃直到叫醒屋内的人,事后还说“她不能置这家人于危险之中”。这些行为表明她不顾个人安危去救人,体现了勇敢的品质。其他选项(懒惰、害羞、有趣)均与文中她的行为不符。故选C。
