Question

【題目】 An earthquake is one of the most common natural disasters. It may cause great damage. So it is wise to learn some simple safety tips to protect yourself or your family members.

Fragile items like those made of glass are easily broken and should usually be placed on a lower surface, near the ground instead of placing them in the cupboards higher up. Never place them near your bed, sofas and other furniture where you would be sitting or lying down. When there is a strong movement, these pieces will fall on the floor directly and not on you.

There is a strong chance of short circuits (短路) and fire during an earthquake. Make sure you turn off electrical connections and gas immediately when an earthquake happens.

During an earthquake, lie beneath an object that is not easily damaged. Do not go near objects that could directly fall on you. Never use the elevator to go down. Stay inside until the shaking stops and it is safe to go outside. Research has shown that most injuries happen when people inside buildings try to go out. Use the staircases at all times.

If you are outdoors, do not take shelter under a tree, streetlights, electric poles or tall buildings. If you are driving, stop your car and stay in a safe place. Do not park your car under a tree or any tall object.

If trapped in debris (瓦礫堆), cover your mouth with a handkerchief or clothing. Tap on a pipe or the wall so that rescuers can find you. Use a whistle (哨子) if one is able to get. Never shout for help. Shouting can cause you to breathe in dangerous amounts of dust. Do not light a match(火柴) because you may burn yourself. Do not move about or kick up dust.

【解析】

本文是一篇說明文，介紹了一些應對地震的安全技巧。

【1】主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段“An earthquake is one of the most common natural disasters. It may cause great damage. So it is wise to learn some simple safety tips to protect yourself or your family members.”可知，地震是最常見的自然災害之一，可能會造成很大的損害，因此，學習一些簡單的安全技巧來保護你自己或你的家人是明智的，由此可知，這篇文章主要是告訴讀者如何應對地震，故D項正確。

【2】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)畫線詞后的“items like those made of glass are easily broken”可知，玻璃制品屬于易碎物品，很容易破碎，由此可知畫線詞詞義為“易碎的、易壞的”，故B項正確。

【3】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中的“Make sure you turn off electrical connections and gas immediately when an earthquake happens.”可知，當?shù)卣鸢l(fā)生時，請立即關(guān)閉電源和煤氣，由此可知，當?shù)卣鸢l(fā)生時，人們應該立即關(guān)閉電源和煤氣，故D項正確。

【4】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段中的“If trapped in debris (瓦礫堆), cover your mouth with a handkerchief or clothing. Tap on a pipe or the wall so that rescuers can find you. Use a whistle (哨子) if one is able to get. Never shout for help. Shouting can cause you to breathe in dangerous amounts of dust.”可知，如果被困在廢墟中，用手帕或衣服捂住嘴；輕敲管道或墻壁，以便救援人員能找到你；如果可以的話，用口哨；不要大聲呼救，大喊會使你吸入大量危險的灰塵，由此可知，當被困在廢墟中時，你最好不要大聲呼救，故A項正確。
