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] Which of the following is NOT stated by the author?
选项 A、A fire drill is very important and useful.
B、The last fire drill received inactive co-operation from the residents.
C、Those who do not take fire precautions will be fined and driven out.
D、It has been made a rule that fire drills will be performed regularly.
答案 B
解析 本题属于事实细节题，提问的是下面的四个论述中哪个在文章中没有提及。这是一种特殊的事实细节题，需要逐个验证，或通过排除法进行选择。选项A)“消防演习是非常重要、非常有用的”符合文章意思；选项C)与文章倒数第二句话“Failure to do so can result in fines and expulsion(驱逐)from the Hall”意思一致，“如果有的居民不参与和配合火灾预防，将被罚款或驱逐”；根据文章第三段第一句话“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)．．．”，选项D)的论述也是正确的，“消防演习会定期举行”。故通过排除法也可以确定本题的答案为B)，而“上次的消防演习没有得到居民的积极配合”显然与通知的内容不符。
