When they passed a place they saw a large area of grass and bushes on fire and a strong wind was blowing the flames towards a village. The firemen had already arrived and were trying to put out the fire. The boys left their bicycles and
11、 ran towards the village to see if they could help to fight the fire. On the way they met two firemen. “Quick, you boys,” said one of the firemen. “Come and help us to pull a pump (泵) to the stream. We cant beat out the fire. The wind is too strong. The pump is our only hope.” The two boys ran furth
12、er until they came to a heavy pump. They helped to pull it to a stream not far from the village. Soon the pump was working well so the boys went to watch the fire. It had already reached the edge of the village. The boys saw that two houses were on fire, and the flames were attacking a third buildin
13、g. Suddenly there was a shout from one of the 4villagers. “Keep away!”a voice shouted.“Theres paint stored in that building.”The boys and villagers moved away quickly. With a loud explosion (爆炸), the whole building burst into flames, sending clouds of thick black smoke into the sky. At this time Pet
14、er and Jim began to think that the whole village would be burnt to the ground. The firemen had left the burning buildings and were pouring (浇) water onto the neighboring houses, trying to stop the fire from spreading. Then the wind died down. A second pump was brought up to help, and the fire was gr
15、adually put out. “Its soon finished,” Peter said to his friend. “We must go or we shall get home late.” “Yes, come on,” agreed Jim, and with a last look at the ruins, they walked back to their bicycles.21.

A. no one knew how the fire broke out B. two pumps were used to put out the fire C. two buildings were burnt down during the fire
18、D. the boys walked home after the fire was put outB5Earlier this year I traveled to Turkana(图尔卡纳-地名) in Kenya（肯尼亚-东非国家）. I was there to take pictures of the “broken food system”.As a special visitor, I was greeted with songs and dances. The locals used to sing and dance all the time but now Turkana
19、(图尔卡纳 -地名)is silent and has been for some years. No one is singing or dancing any more because they have no food, nothing to celebrate. Many of them are surviving on one handful of corn a day and water, which they can get just every two days.I met Tede Lokapelo（人名）, a local farmer who described the
20、experience of a six-year drought (干旱). Tede used to have 200 goats, but now he has only seven left. He told me that this drought has taught him a hard lesson: It is too difficult to keep animals. He lives on animals. His traditional way of life has been completely destroyed now. Without the food aid
21、 they got, Tede（人名）is certain that they would starve because there are no other sources to feed themselves left.Sadly, the same can be heard in almost any developing country around the world.

22、nough rain has fallen since 2005. They measure rainfall not in days or weeks but in minutes. More and more people are being forced to rely on food aid, but people like Tede（人名）dont want food aid.

23、n support themselves. Drought(干旱) is impossible to avoid but famine (饥荒) is manmade（人造的）, and unless enough money is provided to develop a basic infrastructure (基础设施) for people in the area, thousands more lives are sure to be lost. 25. Why do people in Turkana (图尔卡纳-地名)no longer sing or dance any m
