  A fire drill is, to put it mildly, an inconvenient exercise at the best of times. A fire drill at 2:00 in the morning in terrible weather conditions, like the one we had on Thursday night Friday morning last week, is incomparably more inconvenient. That is why I am writing this note to thank you all most sincerely for your excellent cooperation and the spirit with which you endured the inconvenience.

  A fire drill is not a meaningless exercise. It is an extremely serious one and can, in fact, save lives in the long run. Last week's fire drill has already shown a number of important precautions(预防措施)in the hall. For instance, there seem to exist a number of “deaf spots” in the hall, namely, the two rooms in the purser house and some rooms in the bottom corridor. I have no reason to doubt that residents from these areas could not hear the alarm. I shall request an immediate examination of this problem.

  I should, also remind you that it is a requirement that fire drills are regularly carried out (at least two in every one year) and each resident is made fully aware of this and take part. All residents must take fire precautions with enough seriousness. Failure to do so can result in heavy fires and moving out of the hall. Thank you again for your cooperation.

(1) This note is made to ________.

[  ]

A.some fireman
B.residents of that area
C.students of a college
D.a regular audience

(2) Last fire drill caused much more trouble because ________.

[  ]

A.a big fire started
B.it was at the weekend
C.it was in bad weather

(3) Some people did not make their appearance at the drill because ________.

[  ]

A.they were deaf

B.they could not hear the alarm

C.nobody waked them up

D.they had some other reasons

(4) According to the speaker, a fire drill is extremely important for ________.

[  ]

A.it is a good physical exercise

B.it can save lives in case a fire starts

C.it is required by law

D.it can make people get more used to the inconvenience

答案:B:D;B:B

(1) 从全文来看通知是写给当地居民的。

(2) 短文第二段内容。

  “How are you?” is a nice question. It's a ___1___ way that people in the United States ___2__ each other. But “How are you?” is also a very _ ___3___ question. It's a question that often ___4___ have an answer. The person who asks “How are you?” hopes to hear the answer“___5___”,even though the person's friend isn't fine, ___6___ “How are you?” isn't really a question, and “Fine” isn't really an answer. They are ___7__ other way of saying “Hello” and“___8___”.

  Sometimes, people also don't say just what they ___9___ For example, when someone asks “Do you agree?” the other person ___10____ be thinking, “No, I don't agree. I think you're wrong. ” But it isn't very ___11___ to say so, so the other person might say, “I'm not so ___12___” It's a nice way to say that you don't agree with someone.

  

  People ___13___ don't say just what they are thinking when they ___14___ talking with other people. For example, many talks over the phone ___15___ when one person says,“I've got to go now.” Often, the person who wants to ___16__ gives an excuse:“Someone is at the door.” “I've got to put the things ___17__.” “Something is burning on the fire.” The excuse might be real, or it might not. Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesn't want to talk ____18___, but it isn't very polite to say that. The excuse is more polite, and it doesn't ___19___ the other person's feelings.

  

  When they meet each other, talk about an idea, or end a talk, people often don't ___20___ just what they are thinking. It's an important way that people try to be nice to each other, and it's all part of the game of language!
