【题目】根据短文理解,选择正确答案。
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(骤然烧起) 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(阑尾炎) 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】本文以一个没有痛觉的人的故事引起话题,探讨了没有疼痛的生活是危险的,疼痛都是身体发出的信号。

⑴词义猜测题。根据最后一段Being free from pain is not as wonderful as you may think.(摆脱痛苦并不像你想象的那样美妙。)The young man has had to have rotted teeth pulled because he never felt toothache warnings.(年轻人不得不把腐烂的牙齿拔掉,因为他从不感到牙疼的警告)A sudden attack of appendicitis(阑尾炎) could be deadly.(突然发作的阑尾炎可能是致命的。)可知,最后一句Life without pain is as risky as trying to run a cruise ship without fire alarms.(没有痛苦的生活是危险的,就像试着去经营一艘没有警报的游轮一样。)可知,此处指警报信号。所以答案是B。

⑵推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句Life without pain is as risky as trying to run a cruise ship without fire alarms.(没有痛苦的生活是危险的,就像试着去经营一艘没有警报的游轮一样。)可知,疼痛是为了达到一个有用的目的。A项文中没有提到;B、C不符合常识,所以答案是D。

⑶细节理解题。根据最后一段第二句The young man has had to have rotted teeth pulled because he never felt toothache warnings.(年轻人不得不把腐烂的牙齿拔掉,因为他从不感到牙疼的警告。)可知,腐烂的牙齿无法发出警告,所以答案是A。

【题目】Dec 11, 2016 marked the 15th anniversary of China’s entry into the World Trade Organization (WTO).

【题目】阅读理解
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 (使习惯于) 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________.
