问题     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, is incomparably more inconvenient. This is why writing this note to thank you all most sincerely for your excellent co-operation and the spirit with which you endured the inconvenience.
    A fire drill is not an idle exercise. It is an extremely serious one and can, in fact, save lives in the long run. Last week’ s fire drill has already revealed a number of important things regarding fire precautions in the Hall. For instance, there seem to exist a number of "deaf spots" in the Hall, namely, the two rooms in 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 should be regularly carried out(at least two in every one year)and each resident should be made fully aware of this and obliged to take part. All residents must take fire precautions with the seriousness they deserve. Failure to do so can result in fines and expulsion(驱逐)from the Hall. Thank you again for your co-operation. [br] A fire drill is extremely important according to the author because ______.
选项 A、it is a good physical exercise
B、it cultivates people’s endurance
C、it is a legal requirement
D、it can save lives in case of a fire
答案 D
解析 本题属于事实细节题，提问的是在作者看来消防演习之所以非常重要的原因。当然这也与整篇文章的主旨有关，作者一直在强调消防演习是生命攸关的大事，应该重视。同时根据文章第二段第二句话“It is an extremely serious one and can，in fact，save lives in the long run”，它的重要性在于这种演习能在真正遇到火灾时救命，故选项D)符合句意。
