One day, a big fire broke out in an apartment building. Firefighters arrived quickly to put out the fire. When they searched the rooms, they found four cats. Three of the cats were not moving at all.

The firefighters took the cats outside at once. They wanted to save them. They gave the cats CPR and chest compressions (胸部按压). They used oxygen to help the cats breathe again. They worked very hard and did not give up.

After a few minutes, a small miracle happened. The cats started to move. Their eyes opened, and they slowly came back to life. The firefighters gave them water and took good care of them.

1.1.What happened to the apartment building?

A It caught fire.

B It fell down.

C It was lost.

D It was sold.

解析：选A。A 细节理解题。题干询问“公寓楼发生了什么事”，定位到文章第一段第一句“One day, a big fire broke out in an apartment building.”，句中“a big fire broke out”意为“一场大火爆发”，与选项A“It caught fire.（它着火了）”表述一致。选项B“它倒塌了”、C“它丢失了”、D“它被卖掉了”均未在文章中提及，属于无中生有，因此答案选A。

2.2. How many cats couldn’t move?

A One.

B Three.

C Four.

D Five.

解析：选B。B 细节理解题。题干询问“有多少只猫不能动”，定位到第一段最后一句“Three of the cats were not moving at all.”，可知消防员在房间里发现了四只猫，其中三只一动不动。故选B。

3.3. What does the word “miracle” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

A A sad thing.

B A great help.

C A hard job.

D A happy surprise.

解析：选D。D 词义猜测题。根据上下文，消防员对猫进行急救后，“The cats started to move. Their eyes opened, and they slowly came back to life.” 猫从毫无反应到恢复生命，这是一个令人惊喜的转机。结合“miracle”一词常指“奇迹”，即令人高兴的意外之事，因此D项“A happy surprise”最符合语境。A项“伤心的事”、B项“巨大的帮助”、C项“艰难的工作”均与上下文情感色彩不符。故选 D。

4.4. What happened to the cats at last?

A They died.

B They ran away.

C They survived.

D They got lost.

解析：选C。C 细节理解题。题干询问“猫咪最后怎么样了”，定位到文章第四段第二句“Thanks to these kind firefighters, the four cats were saved.”，句中“were saved”意为“被救了”，与选项C“They survived.（它们活了下来）”表述一致。选项A“它们死了”与原文“被救”相反；B“它们跑掉了”、D“它们迷路了”均未在文章中提及，因此答案选C。

5.5. What can we know from the passage?

A Cats are clever pets.

B Fire is very dangerous.

C Firefighters are great.

D Apartments need care.

解析：选C。C主旨大意题。题干询问“我们可以从本文学到什么”，文章围绕消防员营救猫咪的过程展开，详细描述了消防员努力急救、不放弃的行为，最后一句“This story shows how brave and warm-hearted the firefighters are.（这个故事展现了消防员们多么勇敢、热心）”直接点明主旨——赞美消防员的伟大。选项A“猫咪是聪明的宠物”，文章重点不是讲猫咪，而是讲消防员；B“火很危险”，只是文章开头的背景，并非主旨；D“公寓需要照顾”，文章未提及此内容，因此答案选C。
