Question

Stay as safe as possible during an earthquake.  Be aware that some earthquakes are actually foreshocks (前震) and a larger earthquake might occur.  Reduce your movements to a few steps to a nearby safe place.
If you are indoors,  do “duck，cover and hold”.  Duck or drop down to the floor, under something strong,  such as a table or a desk，cover your head and face with your arms and hands and hold on to that table or desk so that it does not move away from you as the ground shakes.  Do this until the shaking stops and it is safe to move.  Stay inside to avoid being injured by falling glass or building parts.  If there isn’t a table or desk near you, cover your face and head with your arms and crouch(捲缩）in an inside comer of the building.
Stay clear of windows，fireplaces, and heavy furniture that may fall over.  Stay inside until the shaking stops and it is safe to go outside.  Research has shown that most injuries occur when people inside buildings attempt to move to a different  location inside the building or try to leave.
If you are outside, get into the open and stay there.  Move away from trees，buildings, signs and power lines.  Once in the open, stay there until the shaking stops. The greatest danger exists directly outside buildings,  at exits  and alongside exterior walls. Ground movement during an earthquake is seldom the direct cause of death or injury.  Most earthquake-related casualties (伤亡) result from collapsing walls,  flying glasses, and falling objects.
If you are driving, you may not realize what is going on at first because the car may feel like it is going to blow up.  Stop the car in as clear and open an area as possible and stay in it until the shaking stops.  If it is a really bad quake, turn on the radio to find an emergency channel to get information.  Follow the directions of people directing traffic.
If you are in a mountainous area,  watch out for falling rock and other debris that could be loosened by the earthquake.
If you are at the beach,  move quickly to higher ground or several hundred yards inland.

解析试题分析：这篇短文讲的是在地震发生的时候，我们该怎么办才能最大程度上保证自己的安全。文章中根据地震发生时，你具体所在的位置，给了一些详细的建议。
【小题1】细节理解题。根据课文第二段Duck or drop down to the floor, under something strong,  such as a table or a desk，cover your head and face with your arms and hands and hold on to that table or desk在描述，我们可以知道，在地震发生时，如果我们在室内，我们要躲在结实的东西下面，如桌子下，用手和胳膊盖住头和脸。根据这个描述B选项最符合课文的意思。故选B。
【小题2】推理判断题。根据文章第四段Ground movement during an earthquake is seldom the direct cause of death or injury. 可知，地震时地面移动很少导致死亡或受伤，故A不对；根据文章第三段 Stay clear of windows，fireplaces, and heavy furniture that may fall over.可知B不对；Stop the car in as clear and open an area as possible and
stay in it until the shaking stops.地震发生时，把车停在开阔的地方，呆在里面，直到地震停下来。故C不对；根据文章的最后一段可知D是正确的。故选D。
【小题3】主旨大意题。这篇短文讲的是在地震发生的时候，我们该怎么办才能最大程度上保证自己的安全。文章中根据地震发生时，你具体所在的位置，给了一些详细的建议，故选A。
