D空前这句话House fires cause many deaths each year and a large number of these fires are unfortunately set bychildren.提到“很多火灾都是由孩子们引起的”；空格后Kids must understand that they’d better not play with fire提到“孩子们最好不要玩火”,前后为因果关系,因此这里应起到承接上文,并引出文章主题的作用,故应选D,意为“因此教给他们火是工具,而不是玩具是很重要的”.2. E下句话The main job of such an alarm is to protect you while you're asleep提到了烟雾报警器的作用,这个空位于该段的第一句话,应该是对整段内容的概括,故应选E,意为“烟雾报警器大大降低了你在火灾中受伤的可能性”.3. B根据空格前A smoke alarm warns you of the danger.可知,烟雾报警器可以警告我们有危险；空格后的这句话Take action immediately.要我们马上采取行动,因此当你听到烟雾报警器响的时候,逃离的时间就不多了,故应选B,与空后形成因果关系.4. C根据这一段的内容Change the batteries at least once a year. You should use the test button each month to seeif the alarm and batteries are still working.可知,这一段中告诉我们要注意更换烟雾报警器的电池,每个月应使用测试按钮,看看报警器和电池是否还在工作.故这一段是想告诉我们烟雾报警器只有在正常工作时才是管用的.故应选C.5. A空格前About two out of three fire deaths happen in homes with no working smoke alarms提到,大约有三分之二的火灾死亡事件都是由于没有烟雾报警器,A选项中的these deaths呼应了上句话的内容,故应选A,意为“大多数死亡案例是可以避免的”.。
