单选题
This is not a typical summer camp. But Michelle Pawlaw is glad she signed up for it. 'Getting to experience the fires hands-on is really cool and something that most people don't get to do,' she said. Michelle and eight other teenage girls are 28 in the three-day camp offered by the Arlington County Fire Department 29 just outside of Washington. Firefighter Clare Barley is in charge of the program. 'The purpose is to try to get young women interested in 30 the fire service as a career,' she said. The free of charge, overnight camp is designed to let the girls experience what 31 do in the line of duty to protect the community. That includes some rigorous activities such as moving a fire victim. They take classes and learn how to climb the ladder on a fire truck, 32 emergency tools and rescue. They also do their share of cleaning the 33 and the equipment for an injured person. Firefighting is still a male-dominated service, but Burley says with 22 women on its force of 320 the Arlington Fire Department is above the national 34 of 4.5 percent. Burley joined the department seven years ago. 'We do everything that the guys do to the same standard. We are tested to the same standard. We are 35 to operate at the same standard,' she said. 'We need to wash the lettuce and put it in a green big bowl,' said Lieutenant Robert Beer. The girls help the 36 on duty prepare for dinner. It is also part of the program. And, the girls say, by 37 three days together, they also made new friends and had a lot of fun. A. located B. average C. almost D. operate E. expected F. firehouse G. crew H. greenhouse I. considering J. firefighters K. nearly L. cost M. participating N. imagined O. spending
【答案解析】动词辨析题。此处需填动词。be expected to do sth.是常用搭配,意思是有望做某事,期待做某事。本句的意思是男人们做的事情我们都能按标准做到一样好,只有be expected to能表达此义,故本题答案为E项的expected“期望”。 被动态的词只有expected符合选项,故排除其他选项。
