Question

Stay as safe as possible during an earthquake.  Be aware that some earthquakes are actually foreshocks (前震) and a larger earthquake might occur.  Reduce your movements to a few steps to a nearby safe place.
If you are indoors,  do “duck，cover and hold”.  Duck or drop down to the floor, under something strong,  such as a table or a desk，cover your head and face with your arms and hands and hold on to that table or desk so that it does not move away from you as the ground shakes.  Do this until the shaking stops and it is safe to move.  Stay inside to avoid being injured by falling glass or building parts.  If there isn’t a table or desk near you, cover your face and head with your arms and crouch(捲縮）in an inside comer of the building.
Stay clear of windows，fireplaces, and heavy furniture that may fall over.  Stay inside until the shaking stops and it is safe to go outside.  Research has shown that most injuries occur when people inside buildings attempt to move to a different  location inside the building or try to leave.
If you are outside, get into the open and stay there.  Move away from trees，buildings, signs and power lines.  Once in the open, stay there until the shaking stops. The greatest danger exists directly outside buildings,  at exits  and alongside exterior walls. Ground movement during an earthquake is seldom the direct cause of death or injury.  Most earthquake-related casualties (傷亡) result from collapsing walls,  flying glasses, and falling objects.
If you are driving, you may not realize what is going on at first because the car may feel like it is going to blow up.  Stop the car in as clear and open an area as possible and stay in it until the shaking stops.  If it is a really bad quake, turn on the radio to find an emergency channel to get information.  Follow the directions of people directing traffic.
If you are in a mountainous area,  watch out for falling rock and other debris that could be loosened by the earthquake.
If you are at the beach,  move quickly to higher ground or several hundred yards inland.

解析試題分析：這篇短文講的是在地震發(fā)生的時候，我們該怎么辦才能最大程度上保證自己的安全。文章中根據(jù)地震發(fā)生時，你具體所在的位置，給了一些詳細的建議。
【小題1】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)課文第二段Duck or drop down to the floor, under something strong,  such as a table or a desk，cover your head and face with your arms and hands and hold on to that table or desk在描述，我們可以知道，在地震發(fā)生時，如果我們在室內(nèi)，我們要躲在結(jié)實的東西下面，如桌子下，用手和胳膊蓋住頭和臉。根據(jù)這個描述B選項最符合課文的意思。故選B。
【小題2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第四段Ground movement during an earthquake is seldom the direct cause of death or injury. 可知，地震時地面移動很少導(dǎo)致死亡或受傷，故A不對；根據(jù)文章第三段 Stay clear of windows，fireplaces, and heavy furniture that may fall over.可知B不對；Stop the car in as clear and open an area as possible and
stay in it until the shaking stops.地震發(fā)生時，把車停在開闊的地方，呆在里面，直到地震停下來。故C不對；根據(jù)文章的最后一段可知D是正確的。故選D。
【小題3】主旨大意題。這篇短文講的是在地震發(fā)生的時候，我們該怎么辦才能最大程度上保證自己的安全。文章中根據(jù)地震發(fā)生時，你具體所在的位置，給了一些詳細的建議，故選A。
