　　46.A。文章第一段提到，我們都曾感覺過疼痛。從空格前一句的內(nèi)容，即“有些人很少遭受疼痛之苦”，可以推斷空格處句子的內(nèi)容應(yīng)當(dāng)與這一句的內(nèi)容相反，即“另外一些人卻總是遭受疼痛的襲擊”。

　　47.C?？崭袂暗木渥又v到，疼痛是我們身體的警報系統(tǒng)。因此接下來的句子應(yīng)該說明這樣說的原因。

　　48.D?？崭窈笠痪渲v到，然而，有關(guān)疼痛過程的新知識使醫(yī)生得以更好地控制疼痛。由此可見，空格處句子的內(nèi)容應(yīng)與此句內(nèi)容相反，即醫(yī)生對疼痛過程了解得很少。

　　49.B。空格前一句中的“chemical and electrical signals”等詞語是對空格處句子的很好提示。

　　50.E。文章第四段最后一句提到了“two different kinds ofpain messages”，而文章最后一段第一句中又用了“Thefirstmessage”，顯然，空格處的句子應(yīng)以“Theothermessage”開始。
