Answer 1

小题1:C
小题2:C
小题3:D
小题4:B
小题5:A

这是一篇有关药品使用说明的说明文。
小题1:细节题。结合第二自然段最后一句话可知：24小时内服此药不要超过6片，接着又说：6岁至12岁减半，6岁以下的要遵医嘱。据此可知：12岁以上的人在24小时以内服此药最多不能超过6片。
小题2:推断题。一般人在24小时以内服此药最多不能超过6片，9岁的小孩应减半，即最多应是3片。综合四个选项只有C适合。
小题3:细节题。 根据短文最后一句：若是服此药之后，睡不好觉，应减少药量(reduce the amount)，故选D。
小题4:推断题。文章第三自然段说：6岁以下的小孩服用此药要遵医嘱，这就说明此药6岁以下的小孩不能随便服用，或者说这药对他们可能有危险(may be dangerous to them)，所以选B。
小题5:文章出处题。根据第一自然段的说明("你能读懂药瓶上的说明吗?你理解Take only as directed.的意思吗?读读下面的说明看看你是否能理解它们")，所以要选A。
