[剖析]
这是一篇科普类文章,要求选填的词汇都是浅显易懂的常用词,且都是《大纲》范围内的词汇。因此,学生要通读全文,了解大意。只要能够理解文章上下的内容,对短文语境中有用的信息进行分析、推敲、结合整篇,就可以确定所需词汇。值得注意的是,题目提供的词中有两组形容词、副词的同根词,这就要求我们既要明白文章的意思,还得善用所学的综合知识。
第1题选good。依句型这里需要形容词,看全文应是 “好”。
第2题选two。文章一开始就说,我们虽然不能阻止地震,但可以采取措施减少地震对城市的破坏程度。如果那样的话,那么在地球板块与板块交界的地方建造房屋肯定不是好办法。 (这是一个跨学科的问题,世界上已经发生的地震多数发生在地球板块与板块交界的地方,科学家们称之为地震带。 由此可见,要学好英语,还要学好其他学科。)
第3题选 may。在这里表示猜测、假设,意思是“可能”。
第4题选 sand 。 “沙地”与前面的rocks 一词对应。这句话是说,如果你认为某个地方可能要发生地震,最好是将房屋建筑在地质比较坚硬的地带,而不能建在地质松的地带。 比如像沙漠这样的地带就不能建造房屋。
第5题选strong 。除地质条件外,将房屋建得strong“牢固”些,也是减轻地震灾害的一项重要措施。
第6题选stay up 。在这里是“站立、矗立”的意思,与前面的 fall down 一词相对应。
第7题选afraid。因为旧金山这个城市就建在太平洋板块与美洲大陆板块交界的地带(环太平洋地震带),所以说科学家们感到担心、害怕。
第8题选houses。科学家们之所以感到担心和害怕,是因为那里的人还在那里建造房屋,这正好与前面说的减轻地震灾害的方法相反。
第9题选now 。与前面的1906年相对比。
第10题选if 。文章最后小结提出假设:旧金山如果依旧那样的话,一旦有一天发生地震,后果将不堪设想。
