People often speak of fire as though it were a living creature—It grows, dances, needs oxygen, feeds on whatever it can find, and then dies. And when a forest fire rages out of control, threatening human lives and homes, it must be fought like a "wild animal. " The fight is often desperate, since firefighters’ best efforts may be dwarfed by the fury of a large fire. But the fire’s own traits can be used against it.
The heated air above a fire rises in a pillar of smoke and burnt gases, pulling fresh air in from the sides to replace it. Firefighters use this fact when they "fight fire with fire. " They start a fire well in front of the one which they are fighting. Instead of traveling on in front of the huge fire, the smaller fire is pulled back toward it by the updrafts of the larger blaze. As it travels back to meet the large fire, the smaller backfire burns away the fuel that the forest fire needs to survive.
Even when a backfire has been well set, however, the fire may still win the struggle. The wind which the firefighters used to help them may now become their enemy. When the backfire meets the main fire, before both die for lack of fuel, there is tremendous flame, great heat and wild winds. A strong gust may blow the fire into the treetops beyond the area, giving the fire new fuel and a new life.
This passage focuses on______.
选项
A、how fires start
B、damage caused by fire
C、the fascination of fire
D、fighting forest fires
答案
D
解析
第一段就提到了森林大火,接着谈及一种救森林大火的方法,继而提到彻底灭火的难度。选项D是正确的。其他选项都只是文中涉及的某个部分,过于具体。
