【3】wood

【4】cook

【5】easier

【6】today

【解析】

火在我們的日常生活中是非常有用的，沒(méi)有了火，我們的生活也就沒(méi)有了樂(lè)趣。想象一下沒(méi)有了火你必須生吃食物、慶�；顒�(dòng)也不會(huì)有煙火、我們不能取暖等等。

【1】句意：宿營(yíng)旅行會(huì)非常的無(wú)聊。

短文開(kāi)頭 “Life without fire would not be much fun.”說(shuō)到了“沒(méi)有了火，生活就不會(huì)有什么樂(lè)趣”，因此宿營(yíng)的時(shí)候，沒(méi)有了火就會(huì)非常無(wú)聊。這里考查的是boring，意為“無(wú)聊的，厭煩的”，是一個(gè)形容詞，在句中作表語(yǔ)。故答案為boring。

【2】句意：火是危險(xiǎn)的，但是它也是有用的。

根據(jù)下句話 “People use fire every day.” “人們每天都使用火”，因此“火是有用的”，故這里考查的是useful，是一個(gè)形容詞，意為“有用的”，在句中作表語(yǔ)。故答案為useful。

【3】句意：壁爐燃燒木材、煤氣或煤。

根據(jù)句意可知，這里說(shuō)的是壁爐里燃燒的東西，結(jié)合常識(shí)和首字母w可知，這里考查wood，意為“木頭，木材”。故答案為wood。

【4】句意：在家里人們使用火來(lái)做飯。

根據(jù)下句話 “Many kitchen stoves burn gas.” “很多廚房的爐子燃燒天然氣”可知，廚房是做飯的地方，因此這里考查的是cook，是一個(gè)動(dòng)詞。空前有動(dòng)詞不定式的符號(hào)to，這里用動(dòng)詞原形。故答案為cook。

【5】句意：今天，火仍然加熱水洗澡或淋浴，但它是更容易的。

根據(jù)句意可知，今天人們用火給水加熱，要比過(guò)去更加容易了。因此中了考查的是easy，意為“容易的”，是一個(gè)形容詞。表示與過(guò)去相比，應(yīng)用形容詞比較級(jí)形式。故答案為easier。

【6】句意：今天我們使用電和從燈泡發(fā)出的光。

上句話 “In the past, people could only burn candles, oil, or gas to make light.”說(shuō)了我們過(guò)去如何照明，這句話說(shuō)的是現(xiàn)在。由首字母可知，這里考查today，意為“今天”。故答案為Today。
