【解析】本文是一篇说明文，告诉你遇到火灾时该怎样做。

【1】B根据上句：一听到你的烟雾探测器响起，看到火灾，尽可能安全地离开你的家。故此时应该是马上离开现场，不要再顾及手机、贵重物品和其他重要财产。故选B。

【2】C根据上句：要避开烟雾。空格下句：如果你必须走过或穿过浓烟弥漫的房间，覆盖住你的鼻子和嘴。故C项Smoke inhalation causes people to become unconscious.（烟雾吸入会使人失去知觉。）串联上下文，符合语境。

【3】F根据下文：如果你的衣服起火，立即停止你在做的事，扔到地上，滚过去，直到你把火扑灭。此空是段首，故F项Stop, drop, and roll if your clothes catch fire.（如果你的衣服着火了，就停下来，扔掉，滚动。）符合本段内容。

【4】G根据下句：关闭您的门，并用布或胶带封住所有周围的通风口和裂缝，把烟挡在外面。故此空的意思应该是“如果你不能从你家里逃离，不要惊慌”。故选G。

【5】A根据本段首句：从第二层窗口寻求帮助。再根据下句：当第一反应者到达那里时，您可以拿床单或其他东西——白色的最好，把它挂在窗外表示你需要帮助。故A项If you are trapped in your second story room, get to an area where people can find you.（如果你被困在二楼，去一个人们可以发现你的区域。）符合语境。
