If fire did not hurt people when it burnt, children
9、 would play with it until their hands were burnt away. Similarly, if pain existed but fear didnt, a child would burn himself or herself again and again, because fear would not warn himself or herself to keep away from the fire that had burnt himself or herself before. A really fearless soldierand so
10、me do exist, is not a good soldier because he is soon killed; and a dead soldier is of no use to his army. Fear and pain are therefore two guards without which men and animals might soon die out. In our first sentence we suggested that fear should be properly used. If, for example, you never go out
11、of your house because of the danger of being knocked down and killed in the street by a car, you are letting fear rule you too much. Even in your house you are not absolutely safe, an aeroplane may crash on your house, or ants may eat away some of the beams in your roof so that the latter falls on y
12、ou, or you may get cancer!The important thing is not to let fear rule you, but instead to use fear as your servant and guide. Fear will warn you of dangers; then you have to decide what action to take. In many cases, you can take quick and successful action to avoid the danger. For example, you see
13、a car coming straight towards you. Fear warns you, you jump out of the way, and all is well.In some cases, however, you decide that there is nothing that you can do to avoid the danger. For example, you cant prevent an aeroplane crashing onto your house. In this case, fear has given you its warning;
14、 you have examined it and decided on your course of action, so fear of this particular danger is no longer of any use to you, and you have to try to overcome it.1Children would play with fire until their hands were burnt away if _.A. they were given no warning beforehandB. they had never burnt thems

24、 when it burnt, children would play with it until their hands were burnt away.”可知，如果火在燃烧的时候不会使人受伤，孩子们会一直玩火直到他们的手被烧坏。故选C。2D细节理解题。根据文章第一段第四句“A really fearless soldierand some do exist, is not a good soldier because he is soon killed”可知，一个真正无畏的战士，的确存在，他不是好战士因为很快他就会被杀死。故选D。3D细节理解题。根据文章第三段第二句“Fear will w
25、arn you of dangers; then you have to decide what action to take.”可知，害怕会警示危险，这时你需要决定采取什么样的行动。故选D。4A细节理解题。根据文章最后一段最后一句“In this case, fear has given you its warning; you have examined it and decided on your course of action, so fear of this particular danger is no longer of any use to you, and you have
26、 to try to overcome it.”可知，在这种情况下，恐惧已经给过你提示，你需要仔细检查并且决定你的行动。于是恐惧这种危险已经对你没有用，你需要努力去克服它。故选A。.【文章大意】 该文是一篇抱怨信，属于说明文范畴。抱怨公共巴士不遵守既定规则，超载顾客还超速行驶，导致了作者的不便。1E根据所缺句子的前一句“However, by the time No.16 reaches Souk Road, its always full.”知然而，当16路车到达Souk路的时候，车上总是满的。结合选项分析，这种情况导致了49路车有时候有一些空位。故选E。2F根据该空前一句“The time
27、table states that there are buses from Souk Road to the airport every ten minutes.”可知，时间表表明从Souk路到机场的巴士每十分钟就有一辆。由于这是一封抱怨信，这一句可以成为下一句提出疑问的理由。结合选项分析，如果是真的话，为什么“我”几乎每天都需要等半个小时呢？故选F。3G该空前一句“The instructions state that if there are empty seats on a bus, the bus must stop at every stop where people are waiting.”表明，如果车上有空座位，巴士必须在人们等待的每一站停留。根据这一句，可以分析出下一句跟车不停有关，故选G。4A根据该空后一句“There were 129 of them.”可以推断出前一句一定是和人数有关的词，故选A项。当其他乘客下车时“我”数了数下车的人数。5D结合该段可知，作者是在分析车的时速。该段落中列举了规定的最高时速以及该段路程的实际行车时间，还需要这一段路的距离才能进行比对，故选D。
