Answer 1

56—60 DＤ：B：：C A

 

56—60解析：對(duì)于"死亡"的幾種含蓄說法。

解析：對(duì)于文中人物進(jìn)行評(píng)價(jià)。要求學(xué)生在閱讀中注意細(xì)節(jié)描寫，進(jìn)行歸納，并推測作者的描寫意圖，最后得出結(jié)論。

解析：考查在速讀中捕捉有效信息的能力。解析：讀完短文，讓人忍俊不禁，這正體現(xiàn)了行文幽默所具有的感染力。

解析："你想從我這里得到什么？"即"你想讓我怎樣幫你？"用上帝的這句話作文章題目，正是作者要表達(dá)的主題：一個(gè)人這樣愚蠢和固執(zhí)，連上帝也無法幫他。
