Answer 1

分析 你永远不会知道下一次地震将会在何时发生在何地，因此我们需要提前准备，你最好准备下面的这些物品：
1、水：每个人一天光喝水就要喝掉1.5加仑，因此准备能够维持每个人72小时所需的水．最简便的方法就是买瓶装水，不要打开，等到你需要的时候在喝，前提要注意保质期；
2、食物：在手头上储存一些不易腐烂的食物，例如罐装食品．
3、手电筒和备用电池：在你的床边及工位上准备一个手电筒． 地震的时候千万不要使用火柴或蜡烛，因为地震可能会导致燃气泄漏．
准备一个电池供电的收音机以及备用电池，手机在地震后通常不能使用，因此无线电收音机是你获取信息最好的途径．
4、衣服

解答 56．C．细节理解题．根据You can never tell exactly when and where an earthquake may happen，so it is important to take steps to prepare now．可知，我们需要为地震做准备，原因就是我们不知道地震会在何时在何地发生，也就是说地震的发生是没有任何征兆和预警的，因此答案为C．Because earthquakes take place without warning．
57．D．细节理解题．根据It's always a practical idea to keep a supply of non-perishable（不易腐烂的） food on hand．Have an enough supply of canned（罐装的） food，powdered milk，dried fruits，non-salted nuts and canned juices for at least 72hours．可知，为地震准备的食物应该是不易腐烂的视频，例如句子中提到的罐装食品、奶粉（powered milk）、脱水水果（dried fruits）等，而选项中的fresh vegetables表示新鲜蔬菜，这个是非常容易腐败的，因此该题的答案为D．
58．B．推理判断题．根据You might not have heat after an earthquake．Think about your clothing and bedding supplies．可知，准备的衣服是用来取暖的，并不是用来保护头的，因此A错误；根据Do not use matches or candles after an earthquake because it will be very dangerous if there is any gas leaks（泄露）．可知，地震的时候可能会发生燃气泄漏，因此千万不要用火柴和蜡烛，因此B正确；根据You'd better prepare some supplies for your home，workplace，and car．可知，我们不仅要在家中为地震做准备，在公司、汽车中都需要准备，因此C错误；根据Most telephones will be out of order，so radios will be your best source of information．可知，地震发生后，大部分手机都不能用了，因此获得信息最好的方法是无线电收音机，D错误；
59．A．细节理解题．根据If you live in a cold place，you must think about warmth．可知，如果你住在一个寒冷的地方，你最需要想的就是保暖，随后提到Think about your clothing and bedding supplies．也就是准备衣服和床上用品，因此该题的答案为A．some warm clothes and bedding supplies
60．C．文章主旨题．文章的大部分内容介绍的是你需要为地震准备些什么，包括水、食物、衣物等，因此该文章的主旨就是为地震做准备，即C．Get prepared for an earthquake
