Answer 1

【小題1】C
【小題2】C
【小題3】D
【小題4】B
【小題5】A解析:
這是一篇有關(guān)藥品使用說明的說明文。
【小題1】細節(jié)題。結(jié)合第二自然段最后一句話可知：24小時內(nèi)服此藥不要超過6片，接著又說：6歲至12歲減半，6歲以下的要遵醫(yī)囑。據(jù)此可知：12歲以上的人在24小時以內(nèi)服此藥最多不能超過6片。
【小題2】推斷題。一般人在24小時以內(nèi)服此藥最多不能超過6片，9歲的小孩應(yīng)減半，即最多應(yīng)是3片。綜合四個選項只有C適合。
【小題3】細節(jié)題。 根據(jù)短文最后一句：若是服此藥之后，睡不好覺，應(yīng)減少藥量(reduce the amount)，故選D。
【小題4】推斷題。文章第三自然段說：6歲以下的小孩服用此藥要遵醫(yī)囑，這就說明此藥6歲以下的小孩不能隨便服用，或者說這藥對他們可能有危險(may be dangerous to them)，所以選B。
【小題5】文章出處題。根據(jù)第一自然段的說明("你能讀懂藥瓶上的說明嗎?你理解Take only as directed.的意思嗎?讀讀下面的說明看看你是否能理解它們")，所以要選A。
