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 (營救人員) can find you. Use a whistle (哨子) if one is available. Never shout for help. Shouting can cause you to breathe in dangerous amounts of dust. Do not light a match because you may burn yourself. Do not move about or kick up dust.（1）The purpose of the passage is to tell readers . to do in earthquakes to prevent earthquakes damage caused by earthquakes rescue work after earthquakes（2）The underlined word Fragile in Paragraph 2 probably means . found broken（3）During the earthquake, people are advised to . shelter under a tree to a safe place quickly out of the building at once off electricity and gas immediately【答案】 （1）A（2）C（3）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇議論文，作者對于如何在地震中保護(hù)自己和家人這一問題，給出了一些簡單的安全技巧。 （1）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的“So it is wise to learn some simple safety tips to protect yourself or your family members.”因此，學(xué)習(xí)一些簡單的安全技巧來保護(hù)自己和家人是明智的?？芍?，這篇文章的目的是告訴讀者在地震中該怎么做。故選A。 （2）考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)第二段中的“l(fā)ike 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.”像那些玻璃做的容易破碎，通常應(yīng)放在較低的表面，接近地面，而不是把它們放在較高的碗柜?？芍?，“Fragile”的意思是易碎的。故選C。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“Make sure you turn off electrical connections and gas immediately when an earthquake happens.”當(dāng)?shù)卣鸢l(fā)生時，一定要立即切斷電源和煤氣?？芍?，地震期間，建議人們立即關(guān)掉電和煤氣。故選D。 【點(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，詞義猜測和推理判斷三個題型的考查，是一篇教育類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息，同時根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，從而選出正確答案。6．閱讀理解 The stories we share with one another are important. They show wisdom and provide inspiration. They are important to our development. But sometimes people choose not to tell. Consider the negative effects of not sharing a story in the news: People are wondering if public health officials are holding back too much information about the recent outbreak of Ebola. There is a danger in holding back stories that ought to be told. Bobette Buster said it like this, The fact is, history has shown us that stories not told can bee like a dangerous genie (妖怪) left in a bottle. When they are finally uncorked, their power to destroy is set free. There are a number of reasons why we hide parts of our story: they often show our weaknesses or expose our disadvantages。 they require courage and strength to share。 and of course, there are some stories that should be kept secret—especially those that embarrass someone else. Most of us have two selves: the one we display on the outside and the one we actually are on the inside. And the better we get at hiding the stories that show our true selves,
