Question

12．The building is shaking．A woman with a baby in her arms is trying to open the door，but fails．Finding no way，she rushes into her bedroom and there they survive the earthquake．
In a factory building，as the workshop floor swings under the terrible shaking，workers run for safety．Some hide under the machines and survive，but others who try to run outside are killed by the falling ceilings．?
These scenes，played by actors and actresses，are from a film of science education Making a Split Second Decision shown in 1998 on China Central TV in memory ofTangshan Earthquake．
    By studying actual cases in the earthquake areas and scientific experiments，experts find that buildings remain untouched for the first 12 seconds of an earthquake．?
In this short time，one has the best chance of surviving an earthquake by staying near the inside walls，in bedrooms and under beds，experts concluded in the film．"Earthquakes seem to catch the lives of those who run，"said many survivors in the earthquake areas，describing how their friends were killed on the doorways or along the stair steps as they tried to get out of the building．?
Their advice was proved in the film，"Take a hiding-place where you are rather than run，unless you are sure you can reach a safe open place in ten seconds．"

Answer 1

分析 文章属于科普性文章，首先举例说明人们遭遇地震时的求生方式，继而说明如何正确逃生．

解答 42．B  主旨大意题．文章说明了在地震中能够逃出建筑物的可靠时间，倒数第二段"one has the best chance of surviving an earthquake by staying near…"及文章最后一句"Take a hiding-place where you are rather than run，unless you are sure you can reach a safe open place in ten seconds"指出了如何在地震中逃生，故正确答案为B．
43．C  推理判断题．由第四段"experts find that buildings remain untouched for the first 12 seconds of an earthquake．"可知在地震中建筑物一般在摇晃12秒后倒塌，联系下文可知想要在地震中跑出建筑物的人难以有足够的时间逃生．故正确答案为C．
44．D  细节理解题．由文章最后一句"Take a hiding-place where you are rather than run，unless you are sure you can reach a safe open place in ten seconds．"可知正确答案为D．
45．A   推理判断题．文章首先举例说明人们遭遇地震时的求生方式，继而说明如何正确逃生，属科普性文章，所以可能出现在相关杂志上，而不是小说或历史书中；文章重在说明性而不是宣传性，不适合放在海报上，故正确答案为A．
