Question

【題目】閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項 (A、B、C和D) 中選出最佳選項。
American magician David Blaine left the glass box in which he had lived for 44 days without food on October 19. Hundreds of people came to watch the end of his starvation(絕食) experiment, which had become one of London's main tourist attractions.
Looking thinner and darker, 30-year-old Blaine was taken out of his box over the River Thames and immediately sent to hospital. He was then slowly given food, a process doctors said could be dangerous for his life. He had been drinking only water since September 5.
A native of Brooklyn, New York, Blaine first became known as a street magician in the early 1990s. He soon found himself doing magic tricks in bars for the likes of American actor Leonardo DiCaprio and his super model friends.
Over the last decade Blaine has become famous with a combination of breathtaking magic and clever tricks aimed at getting a lot of attention.
In 1999, he was buried in a coffin(棺材) for one week and, in 2000, he spent 62 hours in a giant block of ice. Last year he stood on the top of a 25-meter pillar(柱子) in the center of New York for 35 hours before jumping into a pile of boxes.
“I think a lot of people are unable to accept that they're able to do what they can do,” he said. “They don't realize we can survive(幸存). The human being is an amazing creation.”
But he seemed to have suffered from spending so long in the glass box. He said that at times he was unable to see, had serious back pains and lost his sense of taste.

【解析】本文講述了美國魔術(shù)師David Blaine的一些經(jīng)歷及最近做的一個絕食實驗。他已經(jīng)成為著名的組合驚人的魔法和巧妙的手法針對越來越多的關(guān)注。
（1）細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段“ immediately sent to hospital. He was then slowly given food, a process doctors said could be dangerous for his life”可知，David Blaine在餓了很多天送到醫(yī)院后，再次進(jìn)食是很危險的。故選C。
（2）細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章最后一段“He said that at times he was unable to see, had serious back pains and lost his sense of taste.”可知，他在玻璃盒中呆了很久后，他看不見，有時會有嚴(yán)重的背部疼痛，并失去了他的味覺。結(jié)合選項可知，A項在原文中沒有提到。故選A。
（3）細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段“A native of Brooklyn, New York, Blaine first became known as a street magician in the early 1990s”可知，Blaine是土生土長的紐約人。B項錯誤。故選B。
