Ⅰ 阅读
A
Recently, a woman who lives in a small apartment in San Francisco asked me a question. She wanted to know how to prepare for a big earthquake.
In fact, it's quite necessary for people in San Francisco to do that. Since she lives in an apartment, she cannot store water in a backyard or place a rain collection system. Here is my answer to her.
Firstly, you should store water and food. Storing water is actually very easy. A gallon per day is enough for you to drink. You can buy one of those 5gallon spring water containers and put it in the kitchen. Check the expiration date (截止日期), and get some new water when needed. Food isn't that hard, either. Get a few cans of soup, some canned fruit, and canned chickpeas or beans. Make sure they all can be eaten without heating. This will cost less than $20 and take up very little space in your kitchen. Throw a cheap canopener in there while you're at it, tape (用胶带粘贴) it to the can, and forget__about__that__one,__too.
Secondly, first aid is going to let you stay out of limited medical facilities (装备), allowing you to avoid getting truly injured. In a big disaster, you'll probably get hurt. Being able to clean and protect a skin wound is important. The Red Cross firstaid kit is cheap ($16) and small, and contains what you need.
Finally, information is almost as important as the other two. You really want a small radio to know what is going on around you. There are going to be shelters, firstaid facilities, and safe and unsafe areas. You need a radio to know where they are. The National Guard will be somewhere helping out, and you need to learn where. The network will probably be down, so you can't count on that.
Therefore, you just need $60 and about 30 minutes of shopping, and then you can survive for 3 days without any help.
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章通过回答一位女士的问题,介绍了为预防大地震需要做的准备工作。
1.What was the woman's problem?
A.She was afraid of big earthquakes.
B.She didn't have a backyard to store her things.
C.She didn't know how to prepare for a big earthquake.
D.She didn't know how to set up a rain collection system.
答案:C 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“She wanted to know how to prepare for a big earthquake.”可知,她不知道如何为大地震做准备。故选C。
2.The underlined part in Paragraph 2 means the woman should ________.
A.buy another canopener
B.just leave the canopener there
C.forget everything she has done
D.tape the canopener to the can
答案:B 词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“Get a few cans of soup, some canned fruit, and canned chickpeas or beans. Make sure they all can be eaten without heating. (准备几罐汤,一些水果罐头,鹰嘴豆罐头或豆类罐头。确保它们不需要加热就能吃。)”和画线短语所在句“Throw a cheap canopener in there while you're at it, tape (用胶带粘贴) it to the can (扔个便宜的开罐器在里面,把它粘在罐子上)”可推知,forget about that one是指把那个开罐器和罐子一起存放在那里,以备地震被困时用。故选B。

A.It's not an easy thing to do.
B.It can't be used to save a life.
C.It's important in an earthquake.

答案:C 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“In a big disaster, you'll probably get hurt. Being able to clean and protect a skin wound is important. The Red Cross firstaid kit is cheap ($16) and small, and contains what you need. (在一场大灾难中,你可能会受伤。清洁和保护皮肤伤口是很重要的。红十字会的急救箱很便宜(16美元)而且很小,里面装有你需要的东西。)”可推知,作者认为准备一个急救包在大地震中是很重要的。故选C。
B
Maggie, a girl of thirteen years old, lived on the west coast of the United States. She had never experienced an earthquake before; she only prepared for it. As long as she could remember, preparing for an earthquake was common at her school. Her family had made plans as well in case of a natural disaster.
One day, Maggie arrived home from school at the usual time. However, it was not the same as usual. She was home alone. Her mom would be driving home on the busy freeway and her dad was to arrive at the airport. He was coming home from a twoweek business trip.
After finishing her homework, Maggie felt a little hungry, so she went to the kitchen to find something to eat. Just then she felt a shake, then the violent shaking. Maggie quickly ran under the large table in the dining room. The sounds of breaking glass and the crashing of many things were deafening,__and Maggie hugged herself in fear.
After what seemed like a very long time, the earthquake appeared to be over. Maggie could hear the sound of water rushing below her in the basement. And there was the smell of natural gas in the air. Maggie knew where the main water valve (阀门) was and how to turn it off. Dad had ever shown her before.
Slowly and carefully she came out from under the table. The once tidy home was then almost unrecognizable. Walls had fallen down and many things in the room were in a mess. As Maggie approached the open basement door, she could see the steps. Carefully she made her way down into the dark basement.
While placing her feet firmly on the floor, Maggie felt a sudden pain as a large wood hit her head and shoulder. She fell unconscious onto apple of boxes. An hour later, she woke up and found her parents beside her. She was happy that she was still alive!
