What do you do if you’re trapped on a lonely
island (孤岛)? Surely you need to find a way to get in touch with the outside world. Your best chance (机会) of doing this is to make a passing plane see you.
Body signals (信号)
Pilots (飞行员) from different countries understand body signals if they have the correct training. When you wave (挥) your arms up and down in a straight line, it means “yes”. When you point downwards and swing (摇摆) your arm
from side to side, it means “no”. If you want the pilot
to know that it’s safe to land, push your hands out in front of you and bend (弯曲) your knees. If you want to say that it’s not safe to land, put your arms in the air and move them to one side.
Smoke signals
People can see the smoke from a fire from far away, so it’s a good way to make others see you. If the weather is dry, it isn’t hard to start a fire. Remember, however, that fires can be very dangerous if they get out of control (控制). Never start a fire if you are not sure if it will cause danger. If the ground is dark, people can see light smoke more easily. Green grass and leaves produce light smoke.
Ground-to-air signals
It’s a good idea to build some signals, too. Use large pieces of wood to make the symbols (标记). If you can’t find any wood, use earth. Some useful symbols are: F “I need food and water.” II “I need doctor’s help.” I “I am badly hurt.” X “I am unable to move from here.”
( )31. How many kinds of body signals does the writer talk about?
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
( )32. Which picture means “it’s not safe to land”?

A. B. C. D.
( )33. If one is trapped on an island, he can _____________.
A. start a fire any time B. start a fire anywhere
C. start a fire when it is safe D. burn green grass and leaves anywhere
( )34. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Swinging your arm from side to side means “yes”.
B. If the ground is dark, people from far away can’t see light smoke.
C. If you need some help from doctors, make a symbol “Ⅱ”.
D. You can use your body to make Ground-to-air signals.
( )35. The reading mainly talks about _____________.
A. why we need to make signals on an island
B. it is important to make signals on an island
C. how to send out signals on a lonely island
D. how to get signals from a lonely island
