Fortunately, most earthquake safety measures are common sense, but if you forget everything else, remember the following instructions: drop, cover, and hold on. Also, most of earthquake deaths happen after the earthquake, so remember that the danger does not end when the shaking does!If you stay indoors during an earthquake, move away from unsupported areas and windows. Try to get under a doorway or another area of the building which is held up by strong beams(梁). Stay under a table or desk only if it is very strong. Do not rush to lifts, because it is far safer to stay where you are. Cover your head with your arms around it and curl(蜷缩) into a ball, and wait for the shaking to stop.If you stay outdoors during an earthquake, move to an area which is as open as possible. Dont move to buildings, electric poles and other objects which may fall during an earthquake and injure you. Protect your head and stay low to the ground till the shaking ends and it is safe to move.After an earthquake, many buildings are less strong, although they appear safe. If you stay indoors, move people from the building quickly and help disabled or injured people. Once outdoors, move well away from the building so that if it falls down, you will not be injured. Wait till public safety officials announce that it is safe to stay indoors.By planning ahead and keeping calm during an earthquake, you can greatly increase your chances of survival(生存) without injury.（1）The underlined word Fortunately in the first paragraph means_ . A . especiallyB . graduallyC . luckilyD . finally（2）We can learn from the passage that earthquake safety measures_ . A . are planned for childrenB . help us to keep safeC . are not necessaryD . are not easy to understand（3）According to the passage, it isnt a good choice _during an earthquake. A . to take a liftB . to stay under a strong tableC . to get under a doorwayD . to cover the head with arms around it（4）If you stay outdoors during an earthquake, you can do all the following except_ . A . trying to protect your headB . moving to an open placeC . moving away from buildingsD . taking the disabled people into the room（5）The purpose of the passage is mainly to tell us how to_ . A . stay away from an earthquakeB . predict an earthquakeC . control an earthquakeD . keep safe during and after an earthquake19. （10分）阅读理解We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen? When I got that great job, did Jerry really feel good about as a friend? Or did he envy my luck? When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, its too late.Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we dont really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, Youre a lucky dog. Is he really on your side? If he says, Youre a lucky guy. or Youre a lucky gal. Thats being friendly. But lucky dog? Theres a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesnt see it himself. But bringing in the dog bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is he doesnt think you deserve your luck.How can you tell the real meaning behind someones words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says square with the tone of voice? His posture(体态)? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. Spend some time thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you, and you may save another mistake.（1）The questions in the first paragraph tell us that the speaker _. A . feels happy because his friends were nice to himB . feels he may not have read his friends true feelings correctlyC . thinks it was a mistake to have broken up with his girlfriend HelenD . is sorry that his friends let him down（2）From the example Youre a lucky dog, we can learn that _. A . the speaker of the sentence is friendlyB . it means the same as Youre a lucky guy. or Youre a lucky gal.C . sometimes the words used by the speaker give a tip to the feeling behind the wordsD . the word dog shouldnt be used to describe a person（3）The passage tries to tell you how to _. A . avoid mistakes about money and friendsB . bring the dog bit into our conversationC . be friendly to other peopleD . avoid mistakes in understanding what people tell you（4）What is important in listening to a person? A . To notice his tone, his posture and the look in his eyes.B . To listen to how he pronounces his words.C . To check if his words go well with his manner, his tone of voice and his posture.D . Dont believe what he says.（5）If you follow the writers advice, you would _. A . be able to get the real meaning of peoples wordsB . avoid any mistakes while talking with the people who envy youC . not lose real friends who say things that do not please youD . be able to observe people as they are talking to you四、 词汇。 (共2题；共7分)20. （2分）昨晚满天星斗。The sky was _ _ stars last night.21. （5分）这个孩子不会写字。 (be able to) 五、 中译英.
