Most of us think the telephone was invented by Alexander Graham Bell．1. In fact， an Italian named Antonio Meucci was officially recognised（认定）as the inventor a few years ago． Who is Meucci and why wasn't he known for his invention at the time？ Antonio Meucci was born in Italy in 1808． He studied engineering and
drawing． During his studies， Meucci started to experiment with electricity．2 When two places were connected with wire， people in those places could hear each other talk． In 1850， Meucci and his wife， Ester， moved to New York． Meucci was worried about his wife， because she had become very ill．3 To solve this problem， he connected metal cables between his home and his workshop． This way， they could talk to each other conveniently．
Meucci invited a group of people to see his new invention． They listened in amazement as the voice of a singer was heard through the wires．
4 Even worse， Meucci never applied for a patent （专利） on his invention．Meanwhile， Alexander Graham Bell was working on the same idea and in 1876 the patent for the telephone was given to him．
In 2002， more than a century after Meucci's death， his work was finally recognised by the government． 5 A. He discovered that sound could travel through metal cables. B. However, he wasn’t the first person to think of the idea. C. Unfortunately, only a few people attended this talk.
D. He will now be known all over the world as the telephone’s inventor. E. He needed to keep in touch with her at all times.

Smoke alarms(报警器)
House fires cause many deaths each year and a large number of these fires are unfortunately set by children. 1 Kids must understand that they’d better not play with fire. You should keep matches and lighters out of their reach.
2. The main job of such an alarm is to protect you while you're asleep. You should have a smoke alarm outside each bedroom and on each floor of your home. You ought to have two plans for getting out of your house if there is a fire and practise these plans in the dark with your family.
A smoke alarm warns you of the danger. 3. Take action immediately. When you come to a closed door, check it with the back of your hand. If it feels hot, there may be smoke or fire behind the door, so take care. Once you are out of your house, call the fire department from a neighbor's house. If a family member or a pet is caught inside, you shouldn’t go back in. Firemen know how to perform rescues safely.
4. Change the batteries at least once a year. You should use the test button each month to see if the alarm and batteries are still working. A smoke alarm lasts about ten years. You ought to change it even if it seems to be working.

A. Most of these deaths can be avoided
B. But when you hear it, you don t have much time C. A smoke alarm is only good if it's working properly D. So, it's important to teach them that fire is a tool, not a toy E. A smoke alarm greatly reduces your chances of being hurt in a fire

【解析】 【1题详解】
空前这句话House fires cause many deaths each year and a large number of these fires are unfortunately set by children.提到“很多火灾都是由孩子们引起的”；空格后Kids must understand that they’d better not play with fire提到“孩子们最好不要玩火”，前后为因果关系，因此这里应起到承接上文，并引出文章主题的作用，故应选D，意为“因此教给他们火是工具，而不是玩具是很重要的”。 【2题详解】
下句话The main job of such an alarm is to protect you while you're asleep提到了烟雾报警器的作用，这个空位于该段的第一句话，应该是对整段内容的概括，故应选E，意为“烟雾报警器大大降低了你在火灾中受伤的可能性”。 【3题详解】
根据空格前A smoke alarm warns you of the danger.可知，烟雾报警器可以警告我们有危险；空格后的这句话Take action immediately.要我们马上采取行动，因此当你听到烟雾报警器响的时候，逃离的时间就不多了，故应选B，与空后形成因果关系。 【4题详解】
根据这一段的内容Change the batteries at least once a year. You should use the test button each month to see if the alarm and batteries are still working.可知，这一段中告诉我们要注意更换烟雾报警器的电池，每个月应使用测试按钮，看看报警器和电池是否还在工作。故这一段是想告诉我们烟雾报警器只有在正常工作时才是管用的。故应选C。 【5题详解】
空格前About two out of three fire deaths happen in homes with no working smoke alarms提到，大约有三分之二的火灾死亡事件都是由于没有烟雾报警器，A选项中的these deaths呼应了上句话的内容，故应选A，意为“大多数死亡案例是可以避免的”。
