Question

【题目】阅读下面短文，根据短文内容完成句子。

Every 30 seconds there is an earthquake. But don’t worry because most of them are so weak, people can’t feel them. Only a few big ones hurt people. Many earthquakes happened in China, such as the big one in Sichuan in 2008. Thousands of people died in it. So it’s important to know what to do when one hits. Here are some suggestions on how to stay safely in an earthquake.

If you are in a house during an earthquake, hide under a desk. Stay away from windows and anything that could fall on you. If you are outdoors, move to a clear place (空地). Try to be away from trees, buildings and streetlights. These could fall on you. If you are in a shop and far from the door, don’t try to run outside and rush for exits (出口). Everyone will be doing that and you’ll find it hard to get out. Don’t get into a lift during an earthquake. Just hide under some strong covers near you. When an earthquake has ended, be careful because after-shocks may still happen. These are just as dangerous as the earthquake itself. So stay under the desk until you make sure it’s safe to get out.

【解析】

本文介绍了地震发生时如何保持安全。

【1】根据“But don’t worry because most of them are so weak, people can’t feel them.”可知，我们不必担心所有的地震，因为它们大多数非常弱，人们感觉不到。故填most of them are so weak / we can’t feel most of them / …。

【2】根据“Many earthquakes happened in China, such as the big one in Sichuan in 2008.”可知，在2008年，四川发生了一次大地震，故填a big (terrible / strong / huge) earthquake happened。

【3】根据“If you are in a house during an earthquake, hide under a desk. Stay away from windows and anything that could fall on you.”可知，如果地震时你在家，你可以躲在桌子下面，或者比较结实的物体下面，故填hide under a desk / hide under some strong covers near you / …。

【4】根据“If you are outdoors, move to a clear place (空地).”可知，如果你在户外，你要搬到一个空地上，故填a clear place / clear places 。

【5】根据“When an earthquake has ended,”和“These are just as dangerous as the earthquake itself. So stay under the desk until you make sure it’s safe to get out.”可知，地震结束后，仍然会发生的有危险的，而且人们要藏在桌子下面，因此表示余震。故填：余震。
