【解析】這篇文章講了在防火行業(yè)工作的父親在日常中經(jīng)常對(duì)我們進(jìn)行的各種防火訓(xùn)練。他常常在家中模擬各種危險(xiǎn)的情景讓我們想出路，為我們提出實(shí)用的建議。

【1】句意：那對(duì)一個(gè)父親來(lái)說(shuō)是挺不尋常的。后面說(shuō)“結(jié)果，作為兒童，我們過(guò)去常常在家進(jìn)行消防訓(xùn)練”。這就說(shuō)明父親在這一行、參與相關(guān)的會(huì)議等等這些經(jīng)歷是很不尋常的（unusual），選項(xiàng)A“不尋常的”，選項(xiàng)B“重要的”，選項(xiàng)C“奇怪的”，選項(xiàng)D“完美的”，故選A。

【2】句意：無(wú)論我們?cè)谧鍪裁矗�我們都�?huì)立刻去房間里，并且站在我父親面前。這里就是在描述一次訓(xùn)練，我們會(huì)“立刻”去房間里。選項(xiàng)A“以這種方法”，選項(xiàng)B“帶有極大的關(guān)心”，選項(xiàng)C“立刻”，選項(xiàng)D“一直”，故選C。

【3】句意：但是，如果窗戶卡住不能動(dòng)了，你會(huì)怎么做？這里是父親設(shè)置的問(wèn)題，窗戶應(yīng)該是不能動(dòng)了，卡住了（stuck），不是“壞了”，如果壞了，就能爬出去了。選項(xiàng)A“不能動(dòng)的”，選項(xiàng)B“壞的”，選項(xiàng)C“打開(kāi)的”，選項(xiàng)D“干凈的”，故選A。

【4】句意：一旦你打破了窗戶，你會(huì)怎樣才能安全地爬出來(lái)？“make it …to climb out”是指“讓爬出來(lái)…”，父親是想讓這種逃生安全的，故“讓爬出來(lái)這一行為是安全的”，選項(xiàng)A“舒服的”，選項(xiàng)B“愉快的”，選項(xiàng)C“安全的”，選項(xiàng)D“容易的”，故選C。

【5】句意：爬出來(lái)，讓自己低身，盡可能縮短地面距離。這里介紹的是安全脫離的辦法，是讓窗戶到地面的“距離”（distance）更短一點(diǎn)，這樣也就更安全，選項(xiàng)A“道路”，選項(xiàng)B“距離”，選項(xiàng)C“重量”，選項(xiàng)D“繩子”，故選B。

【6】句意：無(wú)論何時(shí)我們搬了家，他都會(huì)相應(yīng)的改變建議。這里是說(shuō)每次搬家的時(shí)候，父親都會(huì)結(jié)合新的環(huán)境做出新的建議，也就是“改變”（change）自己的建議，選項(xiàng)A“發(fā)現(xiàn)”，選項(xiàng)B“采取，拿”，選項(xiàng)C“提供”，選項(xiàng)D“改變”，故選D。
