问题                         IN THE BEDROOM
    Don’t smoke in bed—it causes about 1 000 fires a year, many with fatal results.
    Don’t overload your electrical points; the ideal is "one appliance, one socket".
    Don’t use an electric underblanket over you or an overblanket under you. An underblanket, unless of the low voltage type, MUST be switched off before you get into bed.
    Never let furniture or clothing get close to a lighted fire. Make sure that there is a suitable guard for the room heater.
    Keep aerosol type containers (喷雾器) away from heat and NEVER burn or puncture (刺穿) them.
    Don’t dim a table lamp by covering it: buy a low wattage bulb.
    Pyjamas and nightdresses, especially for children and elderly people, should be made from flame resistant material.
    IF CUT OFF BY FIRE
    Close the door of the room and any fanlight or other opening and block up any cracks with bedding, etc.
    Go to the window and try to attract attention.
    If the room fills with smoke, lean out of the window unless prevented by smoke and flame coming from a room below or nearby. If you cannot lean out of the window, lie close to the floor where the air is clearer until you hear the fire brigade.
    If you have to escape before the fire brigade arrives, make a rope by knotting together sheets or similar materials and tie it to a bed or another heavy piece of furniture.
    If you cannot make a rope and the situation becomes intolerable, drop cushions or bedding from the window to break your fall, get through the window feet first, lower yourself to the full extent of your arms and drop.
    If possible drop from a position above soft earth. If above the first floor, drop only as a last resort
According to the instructions, fires in the bedroom can be caused by______.

选项 A、one appliance, one socket
B、smoking in bed
C、underblankets of the low voltage type
D、all of the above mentioned points

答案B

解析 本题问按照指南中所说,卧室中的火灾可能会由什么而引起。文章中的第一条警告是:勿在床上吸烟——这每年引起约1 000起火灾,许多次导致人员伤亡。因此,本题的正确答案应是B“在床上吸烟会引起卧室内的火灾”。A“一种电器使用一个电源插孔”。根据第二条警告,这正是作者所建议的,否则,就要超负荷了。C“低电压型褥下电热毯”。根据第三条警告,不要将褥下电热毯盖在身上或将盖用式电热毯铺在身下。如果使用褥下电热毯,除非是低压型的,上床睡觉前必须关掉。可见,在作者看来,电热毯如使用得当是可以使用的,而低压型电热毯危险较小。可见,按照A、C所建议的行事,就不会造成火灾。因此,A和C不是本题的正确答案。
