【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)常對我們進行的各種防火訓練。他常常在家中模擬各種危險的情景讓我們想出路，為我們提出實用的建議。

【1】句意：那對一個父親來說是挺不尋常的。后面說“結(jié)果，作為兒童，我們過去常常在家進行消防訓練”。這就說明父親在這一行、參與相關的會議等等這些經(jīng)歷是很不尋常的（unusual），選項A“不尋常的”，選項B“重要的”，選項C“奇怪的”，選項D“完美的”，故選A。

【2】句意：無論我們在做什么，我們都會立刻去房間里，并且站在我父親面前。這里就是在描述一次訓練，我們會“立刻”去房間里。選項A“以這種方法”，選項B“帶有極大的關心”，選項C“立刻”，選項D“一直”，故選C。

【3】句意：但是，如果窗戶卡住不能動了，你會怎么做？這里是父親設置的問題，窗戶應該是不能動了，卡住了（stuck），不是“壞了”，如果壞了，就能爬出去了。選項A“不能動的”，選項B“壞的”，選項C“打開的”，選項D“干凈的”，故選A。

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

【5】句意：爬出來，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，這樣也就更安全，選項A“道路”，選項B“距離”，選項C“重量”，選項D“繩子”，故選B。

【6】句意：無論何時我們搬了家，他都會相應的改變建議。這里是說每次搬家的時候，父親都會結(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A“發(fā)現(xiàn)”，選項B“采取，拿”，選項C“提供”，選項D“改變”，故選D。
