參考答案：A C D B E
答案解析：
1 A 文章第一段提到，我們都曾感覺過疼痛。從空格前一句的內容，即"有些人很少遭受疼痛之苦"，可以推斷空格處句子的內容應當與這一句的內容相反，即"另外一些人卻總是遭受疼痛的襲擊".
2 C 空格前的句子講到，疼痛是我們身體的警報系統。因此接下來的句子應該說明這樣說的原因。
3 D 空格后一句講到，然而，有關疼痛過程的新知識使醫生得以更好地控制疼痛。由此可見，空格處句子的內容應與此句內容相反，即醫生對疼痛過程了解得很少。
4 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。
5 E 文章第四段最后一句提到了"two different kinds of pain messages"，而文章最后一段第一句中又用了"The first message"，顯然，空格處的句子應以"The other message"開始。
