篇一：
In some ways，the United States has made spectacular progress. Fires no longer destroy 18000 buildings as they did in the Great Chicago Fire of 1871，or kill half a town of 2400 people，as they did the same night in Peshtigo，Wisconsin. Other than the Beverly Hill Supper Club fire in Kentucky，in 1977，it has been four decades since more than 100 Americans died in a fire.
But even with such successes，the United States still has one of the worst fire death rates in the world. Safety experts say the problem is neither money nor technology，but the indifference of a country that just will not take fires seriously enough.
American fire departments are some of the world’s fastest and best equipped. They have to be. The United States has twice Japan’s population，and 40 times as many as fires. It spends far less on preventing fires than on fighting them. And American fire-safety lessons are aimed almost entirely at children，who die in disproportionately large numbers in fires but who，contrary to popular myth，start very few of them.
Experts say the fatal error is an attitude that fires are not really anyone’s fault. That is not so in other countries，where both public education and the law treat fires as either a personal failing or a crime. Japan has many wood houses;of the estimated 48 fires in world history that burned more than 10000 buildings，Japan has had 27. Penalties for by negligence can be as high as life imprisonment.
In the United States，most education dollars are spent in elementary schools. But the lessons are aimed at too limited an audience;just 9 percent of all fire deaths are caused by children playing with matches.
The United States continues to rely more on technology than laws or social pressure. There are smoke detectors in 85 percent of all homes. Some local building codes now require home sprinklers. New heaters and irons shut themselves off if they are tipped.
1.The reason why so many Americans die in fires is that .
A. they took no interest in new technology
B. they did not attach great importance to preventing fires
C. they showed indifference to fighting fires
D. they did not spend enough money on fire facilities
2.Although the fire death rate has declined，the United States .
A. still has the worst fire death rate in the world
B. is still alert to the fire problem
C. is still training a large number of safety experts
D. is still confronted with the serious fire problem
3.It can be inferred from the passage that .
A. fire safety lessons should be aimed at American adults
B. American children have not received enough education of fire safety lesson
C. Japan is better equipped with fire facilities than the Untied States
D. America’s large population accounts for high fire frequency
4.In what aspects should the United States learn from Japan?
A. Architecture and building material.
B. Education and technology.
C. Laws and attitude.
D. All of the above.
5.To narrow the gap between the fire death rate in the United States and that in other countries，the author suggests .
A. developing new technology
B. counting more on laws and social pressure
C. placing a fire extinguisher in every family
D. reinforcing the safeness of household appliances
【答案解析】
在某些方面，美国取得了令人瞩目的成就。大火不再像1871年发生在芝加哥的火灾那样烧毁18000幢房屋，或是像同一个夜晚发生在威斯康星州帕西蒂戈市的大火那样，烧死一个城镇中的1200人。除了1977年肯塔基州贝弗利山晚餐俱乐部的火灾外，40年来，100多美国人死于一场火灾的事情再也没有发生过。
但是，即使取得了如此的成就，美国仍然是世界上火灾死亡率最高的国家之一。安全专家说，问题的出现既不是因为资金也不是因为技术，而是因为这个国家的漠不关心，这个国家对火灾还没有足够的重视。
美国的消防部门是世界上行动最快的、装备最好的部门。他们不得不这样。美国的人口是日本人口数量的两倍，火灾的发生次数却是日本的40倍。美国用于防火的费用远远低于用于灭火的费用。美国的防火安全教育针对的几乎都是儿童，他们在火灾中的死亡人数不成比例地高，但是，与流行的说法相反，很少火灾是由于儿童引起的。
专家说，致命的错误是认为火灾其实不是任何人的错误的态度。在其他国家却不是这样，在这些国家，公共教育和法律把火灾看成是个人的失误，或者是犯罪行为。日本有许多木制房屋;在世界历史上，据估计，烧毁了一万多所建筑物的48场火灾中，发生在日本的有27场。对因为疏忽引起严重火灾的人的惩罚最高可达终生监禁。
在美国，大部分的教育经费都用在了小学。但是，火灾教育课的对象太有限;在所有烧死人的火灾中，只有9%是因为小孩玩火柴引起的。
美国还在更多地依赖技术而不是法律或社会压力。美国有85%的房屋装有烟雾探测器。一些地方建筑法规要求房屋必须装有自动喷水装置。如果新的取暖器和电熨斗被弄翻了就会自动断电。

2.【正确答案】A
【考点类型】细节判断
【解析过程】尽管火灾的死亡率已经下降，美国 。
A. 仍然是世界上火灾死亡率最高的国家
B. 仍然对于火灾的问题很警觉
C. 仍然在培训一大批的安全专家
D. 仍然面临着很严重的火灾问题
线索：文章的第2段提到“But even with such successes，the United States still has one of the worst fire death rates in the world.”表明A是正确答案。

D. 美国巨大的人口数量导致了火灾的发生率高
线索：文章的第5段提到“most education dollars are spent in elementary schools. But the lessons are aimed at too limited an audience;just 9 percent of all fire deaths are caused by children playing with matches.”表明选项A是正确答案。选项B和原文第5段“most education dollars are spent in elementary schools”不符合。选项C和原文第3段“American fire departments are some of the world’s fastest and best equipped”不符合。选项D和原文第3段“The United States has twice Japan’s population，and 40 times as man fires.”不符合。
4.【正确答案】C
【考点类型】细节判断
【解析过程】美国应该从日本那里学习什么?
A. 建筑业和建筑材料B. 教育和技术
C. 法律和态度D. 以上所有选项
线索1：文章的第6段提到“The United States continues to rely more on technology than laws or social pressure.”
线索2：文章的第4段提到“Experts say the fatal error is an attitude that fires are not really anyone’s fault.”
结合线索1和线索2，我们可以知道是美国人对火灾的态度出了问题。所以选项C是正确答案。
5.【正确答案】B
【考点类型】细节推断
【解析过程】为了缩短美国火灾死亡率和其他国家之间的差距，作者建议 。
A. 发展新的技术
B. 更多地依靠法律和社会压力
C. 在每一个家庭放置一个灭火器
D. 重新加强家庭设备的安全
线索：文章的第6段提到“The United States continues to rely more on technology than laws or social pressure.”表达了作者对于美国依靠消防技术降低火灾的死亡率的不满。暗示了要依靠法律和社会舆论的压力来降低火灾的死亡率。
【考点提示】选项C和选项D一般不太可能是正确答案。原因：①该选项都太具体了;②和文章的主题没有直接的关联。考研的文章一般是比较有深度的文章，所以选项的设计也就要求一定要有深刻的意义。这样判断B的.正确几率就很大。
