The Earth isn39。t flat. Nope, your hair and nails don39。t grow after you die. The holes at the top of Bic biro pens are there so that, if you swallow one accidentally, you can still breathe and won39。t choke to death. It39。s debatable whether that last one there is mon knowledge or not. A quick Google search of the fact, rewritten as a question, shows articles addressing this point going back several years, with the latest (re)appearing just this week over on ScienceAlert. We suppose it39。s one of those things that e up from time to time, like what would happen if you attack Yellowstone with a nuclear weapon (not much, as it turns out). If you jump over to Bic39。s website, under their FAQs (frequently asked questions), it quite clearly states: The reason that some BIC174。 pens have a hole in their cap is to prevent the cap from pletely obstructing the airway if accidentally breathed in. This is requested by the international safety standards ISO11540, except for in cases where the cap is considered too large to be a choking risk. That39。s rather lovely of them. In appreciation of their want to not kill off their more clumsy customers, we thought we39。d share a few more random facts about Bic that are probably going to e up in a pub quiz one day. Did you know, for example, that each Bic ballpoint pen can produce at least 2 kilometers ( miles) of ink before it begins to run out? In fact, in 2018, 7,250 kilometers (4,505 miles) of writing tests on such pens were carried out on ballpoint pens, gel pens(中性筆), and rollers to make sure they worked to the highest standard. The best part of the Bic site, however, is this rather curious fact: 100 percent of pen balls are made through a highlycontrolled process. As opposed to a highly uncontrolled process, involving explosions and bouncy castles and total chaos, we suppose.（1）Why does the author mention the case of Yellowstone?

A.Critical.B.Acid.C.Humorous.D.Serious.【答案】 （1）B（2）A（3）B（4）C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，畢克筆的筆帽上有一個小孔是為了防止那些粗心的使用者不小心吞下而窒息死亡。這真是粗心使用者的生命通道。 （1）考查推理判斷。畢克筆的筆帽上留一個小孔的原因，且這個問題會被偶爾問到，就像如果你用核武器攻擊黃石公園會發(fā)生什么事這個問題一樣，作者是在舉例證明他的觀點，故選B。 （2）考查詞義猜測。此處意為當(dāng)使用者不慎把筆帽吞下時，筆帽上的小孔就是為了阻止筆帽完全阻塞氣管而引起窒息，故選A。 （3）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的In fact, in 2018, 7,250 kilometers (4,505 miles) of writing tests on such pens were carried out on ballpoint pens, gel pens(中性筆), and rollers to make sure they worked to the highest standard.可知，舉行書寫測試的目的是為了確保筆能夠達到最高的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，故選B。 （4）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的Some things should just be mon knowledge by now. The Earth isn39。t flat. Nope, your hair and nails don39。t grow after you die. 和第三段中的That39。s rather lovely of them.
