Conservation scientists，it is important to have the right answer to that question.How to Be PreparedElectricity，water，gas(煤气) and telephones may not be working after an earthquake.The police and fire departments are likely to be tied up.You should be prepared to fend_for yourself for at least three days，preferably for a week.Youll need food，water and so on.Its also a good idea to decide ahead of time how and where your family will reunite if separated during a quake.You might choose an outofthearea friend or relative that family members can call to check on you._If youre indoors，stay there.Get under a desk or table.The kitchen is a particularly dangerous spot.If youre in an office building，stay away from windows and outside walls and do not use the elevator.If youre outside，get into the open.Stay clear of buildings，power lines or anything else that could fall on you.If youre driving，move the car out of traffic and stop.Avoid parking under or on bridges or overpasses.After an EarthquakeCheck for fire.If you smell gas，shut off the main gas valve(阀)If theres sign of damage to electrical wiring，shut off the power at the control box.If the phone is working，only use it in case of emergency(紧急情况)Avoid driving if possible to keep the streets clear for emergency vehicles.Be careful that things may fall out of cupboards when the door is opened，and also that chimneys can be weakened and fall with just a touch.Listen to the radio for important information and instructions.Remember that aftershocks，sometimes large enough to cause damage in their own right，generally follow large quakes.If you leave home，leave a message telling your friends and family your location.1The underlined phrase “fend for” in the second paragraph probably means “_”Alook for Btake care ofCbe proud of Dthink of答案B解析词义猜测题。该词所在句子的前两句提到，地震以后，可能电、水、煤气和电话都会被切断，警察机关和消防部门可能受阻，所以在这种情况下，你应该做好准备，照顾(take care of)自己至少三天。2Which of the following would be the best subtitle for the third paragraph?ABefore an EarthquakeBAfter Making PreparationsCWhile Staying at HomeDDuring an Earthquake答案D解析标题归纳题。根据本段中的主要信息：躲在桌子下、厨房很危险、远离窗户和墙、不要使用电梯等可以推知这些情况都应该是在地震的过程中发生的，故D项为最佳小标题。3What should you do when an earthquake happens?AYou should stay away from the kitchen.BYou should drive on a bridge.CYou should turn off the power.DYou should listen to the radio frequently.答案A解析细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“The kitchen is a particularly dangerous spot.”可知，地震发生时，厨房是个危险的地方，所以要避开。C、D两项是地震后应该做的事情；B项是不应该做的事。4According to the passage，why doesnt the author advise driving after an earthquake?ABecause it is dangerous to drive as there will be aftershocks.BBecause your car will be easily damaged in the streets full of blocks.CBecause you should make way for emergency vehicles.DBecause you cant find a place to park your car.答案C解析细节理解题。由第四段第五句可知，作者建议地震后避免开车的意图是为救护车辆让路，故C项为正确答案。BA Shoe PatternHarry is eighteen now.He studies in middle school.His parents like him very much and hope he can become a famous man.So they often tell him to study hard and they do all for him.They call him at six in the morning，after breakfast his father takes him to school in a car and in the afternoon，as soon as the young man comes

BHarrys motherCHarry DNobody答案A解析细节理解题。根据第二段第四句“The woman had to get up earlier and did all that her husband did before.”可以推断以前是她的丈夫做这些事的，因此应该选择A项。6Harrys parents do all for him because _.Ahes too youngBhe has poor healthChes busy with his studiesDthey hope he spends all time on studies答案D解析细节理解题。根据第一段第三句“So they often tell him to study hard and they do all for him.”可知答案为D项。7When the man was in London，_.AHarry had to stay at homeBHarry didnt find the bus stopCHarry fell behind in his classDHarry wouldnt go to school答案B解析细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“Even he didnt know where to get on the bus！”可知答案为B项。8The

jacket，to give her first speech.Fourteen hours later，four perfectly dressed Japanese gentlemen greeted her at Narita Airport.Smiling and bowing low，they handed her their business cards.With her bag in one hand，Geri took their cards with the other.She thanked them，glanced briefly at the cards，and put them into her jeans pocket quickly.When the five of them arrived at the hotel，they invited Geri to tea in the lobby(大厅)While sipping tea，the gentlemen presented her with a small gift which she eagerly opened.She was thrilled with the gift and shouted excitedly，“Oh，its beautiful！”At this point，the four Japanese gentlemen stood up and，bowing only very slightly，said “Sayonara” and left immediately.Poor Geri was left astonished.What did she do wrong?Everything！Her jeans were the first gaffe.Even if youre coming off a bicycle in Japan，you do not meet clients casually dressed.The second mistake was Geris handling of their business cards rudely.In Japan，the business card is one of the most important communicative tools.It is always presented and accepted respectfully with both hands.However，Geri put their cards away much too quickly.In Japan，people use business cards as a conversation starter.You chat about each others cards and work and do not put theirs away until they gently and respectfully place yours in safekeeping.Putting it carelessly into her jeans pocket was the ultimate disrespect.Then，the fourth horror of horrors was that Geri should not have opened the gift in front of her clients.In a land where saving face is critical，it would be embarrassing to discover the gift they gave was not as nice as the one they received.What is worse，Geri hadnt even given them a gift!9In the four Japanese gentlemens eyes，Geri took their cards _.Aexcitedly BembarrassinglyCpolitely Ddisrespectfully答案D解析细节理解题。根据第四段中“The second mistake was Geris handling of their business cards rudely.”可知这是对他们的不尊敬，故选D。10Why did the four Japanese gentlemen leave Geri suddenly?ABecause they couldnt bear Geris behavior any longer.BBecause they had finished the task.CBecause Geri had something more important to do.DBecause Geri felt embarrassed.答案A解析推理判断题。根据倒数第二段可知，这些男士认为Geri的做法极不礼貌，已经无法忍受，所以离开了，故选A。11What does the underlined word “gaffe” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?AIgnorance. BSadness.CMistake. DCarelessness. 答案C解析词义猜测题。根据第三段中“What did she do wrong？”，再根据第四段列举她的错误所在可知，故选C。12What lesson can we draw from this story?AHonesty is the best policy.BThink twice before you take any action.CWhen in Rome，do as the Romans do.DDont claim to know what you dont know.答案C解析推理判断题。根据Geri的做法可知她不了解当地的礼仪，故犯下这样的错误，因此我们要入乡随俗，入境问禁。故选C。DTaking place every spring in the worlds leading publishing and cultural

whos interested in reading the same book.You can make goals that you both want to achieve._19_Some quick recommendations: Harry Potter，start with the first book and go on from there; the Narnia
