词数：349 完成时间：6分钟 难度：**
An earthquake is literally an earth-shattering experience! There you are enjoying an
afternoon nap, having a cup of coffee in the morning, or even sleeping on a cold winter night
when -- WHAM! -- the entire crockery (陶器) shelf collapses, and all the plates and cups break
into pieces. A painting on the wall nearly knocks you down as it falls.
What should one do in an earthquake? The prime-time ( 黄金时间的)news gives no
warning, nor is there a time of year, like the monsoon ( 季风) season, when an earthquake always
occurs. Unlike a tornado or hurricane, there is no known way of predicting an earthquake.
Though about 500, 000 earthquakes occur each year, only 100 of them cause damage!
However, an earthquake can strike any time of the day or night, so it needs to be prepared for
when you have the misfortune of being caught in the middle of one.
If you're indoors, stay indoors, unless you're on the ground floor, where you can easily run
outside. The best thing to do if you’re indoors is to hide under a strong piece of furniture like a
bed or desk. Do not head for the stairway if you're living on an upper storey, because stairways
can collapse.
If you're driving, get out of traffic and stop on a wide and open road. Do not stop on a

bridge, or in another case, under one. Stay inside your car until the shaking stops. Before you
restart driving, look out for fissures (裂缝), breaks in the road, and bumps or cracks. Inside your
home, be careful not to mm on the gas until you' re sure the cylinder (煤气罐) is safe, and there is
no leak.
Avoid using your telephone unless there’s an emergency. You could be occupying lines that are
needed by other people.
Lastly, if you’re not trapped or seriously hurt, do not expect fire fighters, army or police to
help you. They may be busy rescuing people in greater need than you!
41. What does the passage mainly tell us about?
A. How to predict earthquakes.
B. What to do during an earthquake.
C. The damage an earthquake can cause.
D. The factors that cause an earthquake.
42. From the second paragraph we learn that __
A. monsoons usually come at certain times of the year
B. there are no known ways to predict hurricanes
C. there are warning signs before earthquakes strike
D. a tornado can come at any time, and is hard to predict
43. What should you do if you are on the first floor of a building?
A. Stay inside.
B. Head for a stairway.
C. Hide under a strong piece of furniture.
D. Run outside immediately.
44. What does the underlined word
A. Breaks out. B. Falls down. C. Cuts down. D. Drops out.
45. What should you do if you're driving on a bridge during an earthquake?
A. Stop where you are and get out of the car.
B. Leave the car and nm away.
C. Keep on driving until you’re off it.
D. Stop under the bridge and stay inside your car.
答案：
和其他自然灾害不同的是，地震的发生会很突然，没有任何征兆 ，现在还没有什么办法
能够预测地震，所以我们很有必要掌握一些地震发生时自救的知识。
41. B。 主旨大意题。根据下文讲发生地震时“人们在室内、在户外、开车时应该做什么”
看，文章讲的是发生地震时“应该做什么”。

Marks Do Not Mean Everything
It is usual that many students' parents and teachers consider marks as everything, but in fact,
marks only show whether one gains more or less achievement in a certain period. It does not mean
students who get high marks are top or excellent ones. What's more, marks can be truly improved
if you work hard at your lessons. However bad you feel at present, you'll find happiness in the
future, so you should adjust your mind to reality and make up your mind to make progress. As a
matter of fact, if you put your heart into your study, whatever the result is, there is nothing left for
you to regret.
