Do you know a festival for fire? The Yi people celebrate the Torch Festival every year. It's usually from the 24th day to the 26th day of the sixth lunar month. The Yi people light torches to show they respect the fire.
The early Yi people lived in high and cold places in the mountains. They used fire for light and to stay warm and to cook food. As the Yi people's old saying goes, "Everything you eat must 'see' fire." In the old days, people lit a small fire outside the door before they took meat into the home. They put the meat over the fire. They thought it could drive bad luck away. People also used fire to light leaves on the land to make it rich.
But the festival is more of a social event now. During the festival, both the Yi people and visitors come together around the fire. They show and spread their happiness and thanks for a good life.
During the festival, each family has a big torch. But the children's torches are much smaller. The Yi children are very eager for this festival, because it means they can have good food and a good time staying with their families. They even go out in different groups to pick flowers and bamboo branches to make their torches beautiful.
What an interesting and important festival it is!

本文主要介绍了彝族火把节的历史和现状以及火把节的一些庆祝活动。
1. B 行文方式题。根据第一段第一句“Do you know a festival for fire?”可知，作者是通过问问题来开始这篇文章的。
2. C 细节理解题。根据第二段中“They thought it could drive bad luck away.”可知，人们认为把肉放在火上烤一下可以把坏运气赶走。
3. C 代词指代题。句意：人们还用火来点燃大地上的叶子，使它肥沃。根据句意并联系常识可知，人们把落在地上的叶子点燃使其化为灰烬，这些燃烧之后留下来的灰烬含有丰富的营养，让土地变得更肥沃。故此处代词it用来指代“土地”。
4. D 词义猜测题。句意：彝族孩子们非常渴望这个节日，因为这意味着他们可以跟家人待在一起享受美食和美好的时光。根据句意可推知，孩子们对这个节日非常期待。故此处画线部分与D项意思相接近。

One sunny Saturday morning, as usual, Tom was reading a newspaper to his old neighbour Mrs Bell in her garden. Suddenly Mrs Bell cried out and put her hand to her heart.
“Mrs Bell, are you okay?” asked Tom, very worried.
“I think I'm having a heart problem!” she said in a weak voice. Her face turned white, and she broke out in a cold sweat(冷汗).
A heart problem! Tom was surprised, but the eleven-year-old boy breathed deeply a few times to calm himself down. He remembered a lesson he had learned in a summer camp: In an emergency(紧急情况), you must stay calm.
Who could he turn to for help? Mrs Bell lived alone, so there was nobody around. His parents were out shopping for the old lady.
He quickly took out his phone and called the emergency number. He told the operator(接线员) clearly where Mrs Bell lived and what happened. The operator said an ambulance(救护车) was on its way.
“Tom, get me the blue bottle by my bed,” said Mrs Bell. Tom ran into the house and got Mrs Bell's heart medicine. She took some.
When the ambulance arrived, two doctors gave Mrs Bell first aid at once. One of them said, “You must be the boy who called us.” Tom nodded. “Well done!” the doctors said.
After they left for the hospital, Tom thought to himself, “Mum often says she is happy to be a rainbow in someone's cloud. Now I seem to understand what she means.”
