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 should usually be placed on a lower surface, near the ground instead of placing them on 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 breakouts during an earthquake. Make sure you turn off electrical connections and gas immediately when an earthquake happens.During an earthquake, lie beneath(在下方) 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 (瓦砾堆), cover your mouth with a handkerchief or clothing. Tap on a pipe or wall so rescuers 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.28.

But the toys are changing all the time. As science and technology have changed the way adults live, the toys children play with have changed as well. Development in science and technology has had a big effect on the toys that children play with. Today trains and mobile phones are popular toys for young children, but there were no toys of this kind before real trains and mobile phones were invented. The materials that toys are made of have also changed. Today lots of toys are made of plastic. Plastic is a modern, man-made material that did not exist in the past. On the other hand, some other toys that you have might not be all that different from the ones children played with 1,000 years ago. Scientists have found some bone dice（骰子）in Aberdeen. In medieval（中世纪的）times dice were used for playing games as much as they are today.A recent survey found that half of all the children aged from 4 to 6 have played video games, a quarter of them regularly. The increasing use of electronic toys troubles Dr Singer, a professor at Yale. “One thing we know is that kids in early years need to be in touch with the real world,” he said, “no matter how brilliant they are, theyre not going to learn to walk, to move or to talk to others unless their hands or feet have a direct role in such activities.”Some toy experts argue that the best toys are the ones that increase a childs creativity and imagination. Traditional toys can be used for different kinds of purposes and be used in group settings, individually（单独地）, and one-to-one. They are also used differently depending on the childs age and skill level. And these toys made of natural materials are valuable for children because they teach children what the world is made of.32. In how many ways do toys change according to the first paragraph?A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.33. The author used the example of “dice” to show that _.A. the toys are changing all the timeB. some toys are made of different materialsC. some toys dont change over timeD. some toys materials dont change over time34. From the article, we can know that _.A. only children like to play with toysB. toys have nothing to do with childrens future lifeC. the development of toys is related to science and technologyD. plastic is the best material for making toys35. According to Dr Singer, _.A. the electronic toys are good for children if they play often enoughB. the electronic toys prevent children keeping in touch with the real worldC. children should play with electronic toys instead of the traditional onesD. children should be stopped from being hurt by the danger ing from the outside world【答案】32. B 33. C 34. C 35. B【解析】【32题详解】细节理解题。根据文章的第一 段中的 “ Development in science and technology has had a big effect on the toys that children play with.和 “ The materials that toys are made of have also changed. ” 可知， 第一段是从玩具的种类和制作玩具的材料 两方面来说明玩具的变化，故选 B.【33题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中的 “not be all that different from the ones children played with 1. 000 years ago. ” 以及第二段的最后一句可知，作者用“骰子”这 个例子来证明有些玩具历经千年也不“过 时”，故选 C.【34题详解】推理判断题。A项的内容在文章 中并没有提及;根据第一段的children have played with toys and they help to prepare children for adult life. ” 可知，玩具对孩 子将来的生活有影响，故B项错误;第一段 的 “ Plastic is a modem man-made material that did not exist in the past. ” 只是说塑料在 过去不存在 但是不能推出它是制作玩具 最好的材料，故D项的说法也是不正确 的;根据第一段的 “Development in science and technology has had a big effect on the toys that children play with. ” 可知，科技的 发展影响着玩具的发展，故选 C.【35题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段的 14 One thing we know is that kids in early years need to be in touch with the real world unless their hands or feet have a direct role in such activities. ” 可知，电子玩 具阻止了孩子和真正世界的接触。故选B.第二节(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Question: I have been learning English for about 7 years. _36_ And I still cant make myself understood in English.

Please help me.Answer: Many people have asked me this question. _37_ Here I will give you several tips for learning English._38_First of all, you must want to learn.
