【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。
How would you like to have been born without any ability to feel pain? There are such people. One of them is being studied by doctors at a hospital in New York City. He is a 22-year-old clerk who really does not know the meaning of pain. But he wishes he did.
Not long ago a packet of matches flared up(驟然燒起) in his hand. Luckily the burn was not serious. It caused large blisters(水泡) but still did not bother him. He said the burn felt like a fly crawling(在……上爬行) on his fingers. It has been the same story as far back as he can remember. He has never had headaches or sore(疼痛的) muscles. Bee stings, cuts and bruises(疼痛的) do not hurt.
Being free from pain is not as wonderful as you may think. The young man has had to have rotted teeth pulled because he never felt toothache warnings. A sudden attack of appendicitis(闌尾炎) could be deadly. Life without pain is as risky as trying to run a cruise ship without fire alarms.
（1）In the final sentence, the writer uses “fire alarms” to mean ________.
A.loud noises that a person hears
B.a signal that something is wrong
C.heat warnings
D.the ability to smell smoke
（2）The selection as a whole points to the fact that ________.
A.fire can cause serious injuries
B.life is happier without pain
C.teeth can be pulled painlessly
D.pain serves a useful purpose
（3）The young man had to have teeth pulled because ________.
A.he did not know his teeth were decaying
B.he did not take care of his teeth properly
C.he did not like to visit the dentist
D.he was born with soft teeth

【答案】
（1）B
（2）D
（3）A
【解析】本文以一個沒有痛覺的人的故事引起話題，探討了沒有疼痛的生活是危險的，疼痛都是身體發(fā)出的信號。

⑴詞義猜測題。根據(jù)最后一段Being free from pain is not as wonderful as you may think.（擺脫痛苦并不像你想象的那樣美妙。）The young man has had to have rotted teeth pulled because he never felt toothache warnings.（年輕人不得不把腐爛的牙齒拔掉，因?yàn)樗麖牟桓械窖捞鄣木妫〢 sudden attack of appendicitis(闌尾炎) could be deadly.（突然發(fā)作的闌尾炎可能是致命的。）可知，最后一句Life without pain is as risky as trying to run a cruise ship without fire alarms.（沒有痛苦的生活是危險的，就像試著去經(jīng)營一艘沒有警報的游輪一樣。）可知，此處指警報信號。所以答案是B。

⑵推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段最后一句Life without pain is as risky as trying to run a cruise ship without fire alarms.（沒有痛苦的生活是危險的，就像試著去經(jīng)營一艘沒有警報的游輪一樣。）可知，疼痛是為了達(dá)到一個有用的目的。A項(xiàng)文中沒有提到；B、C不符合常識，所以答案是D。

⑶細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段第二句The young man has had to have rotted teeth pulled because he never felt toothache warnings.（年輕人不得不把腐爛的牙齒拔掉，因?yàn)樗麖牟桓械窖捞鄣木�。）可知，腐爛的牙齒無法發(fā)出警告，所以答案是A。

【題目】閱讀理解
English is a very interesting language. It has borrowed words from many other languages. Immigrants(移民) coming into the United States have contributed many words to the language, which have kept their original pronunciation. “Coolie” and “kowtow” were taken from the Chinese language, “kamikaze from the Japanese, “shampoo” from India, “blitz” from German, “amigo” and “Los Angeles” from Spanish and so on.
Many students have studied English for years, some as many as eight. However, some students still have difficulty in speaking fluent English. Some know many words but are unable to discern them when native speakers use them. In our Oral English classes we will focus on speaking and listening to native English speakers. For this reason, because we are trying to train your ears to hear English and your mouths to speak intelligible (易理解的) English, we will have a rule that ONLY ENGLISH will be spoken in our English classes. Anyone speaking Chinese in class will be required to pay a fine in order to encourage the speaking and understanding of English. If teachers enter a classroom and discover that anyone is speaking Chinese, they will require everyone in the room to pay the fine. It is everyone's job to follow the English-Only rule. It is for your benefit. It is because we want to accustom (使習(xí)慣于) your ears to hearing English.
Other subjects may be learned only from books but the only way to learn a foreign language is to SPEAK IT! Students are often nervous about speaking in class at first but we hope to make the classes fun, so you will forget your nervousness and learn to speak out. Enjoy your classes.
（1）The first paragraph is mainly about________.
A.the difficulty of learning English.
B.how interesting and various English is
C.different words in different languages
D.the immigrants' contributions to America
（2）The underlined word “discern” in Para 2 can be replaced by___________.
A.understand
B.notice
C.hear
D.speak
（3）In the author's opinion, the only way to learn a language well is to__________.
A.listen to it on the radio
B.learn it from books
C.play games with it
D.speak it often
（4）The article is probably aimed at________.
A.Japanese students
B.German students
C.Chinese students
D.Indian students
