本文属于过程说明文中的人为过程说明文,篇章展开的方式是给予指令或建议。该短文从四个方面提出了遇到雷电时人们应该采取的防护措施。
1.D下文谈的都是有关"防护"的措施。save 通常指已经遇到危险时的救护,而本文谈的更多的是防患于未然。
2.D根据常识和随后的lightning entered a window表述可知该答案。A、B两个选项明显与前面提到的在室内这一背景相饽。
3.A结合常识选定。碰都不能碰,当然就不能抓。
4.A根据后面的washing machine可以确定该答案。
5.C雷电只有"进人"屋内,才有可能将Falvey击伤。
6.B A、C、D三个选项不符合电在人体中的流动特点。travel除了作"旅行"将讲外,还有"行进,快速前进"的意思。
7.D上文交代了闪电先击伤右手,再传遍全身,最后到达的肯定是左手。
6.A根据常识可知,人触电时是难以摆脱电源的,因此,Falvey有"握住"雷电的感觉是很正常的。
7.C结合常识和across—词,可以想象她被雷电掀翻到房子的另一边。
10.B tale意为"传说"或"神话故事"。此处用该词表不真实的故事。破折号在此起解释的作用:许多人曾经被电话线电击过。
11.D打雷一般是在"下雨"时。
12.A根据本段的首句和尾句不难选定。
13.A手臂上能够立起来的只能是"汗毛"。
14.C感觉上是电荷要从手上飞出,而实际上这是不可能的,故用almost(几乎) 。
15.C根据前后句的意思较易判断。
16.D根据常识,打雷时,若房子被雷击,让电视机处于接通电源状态,电视机肯定会受损的。
17.B另三个选项不能概全。
18.A properly指方法得当地安装。
19.D根据常识,安装避雷针的目的是为了"减少"被雷电侵袭的几率,而非消除被雷电损害的现象。
