But dont worry because most are so weak that they cant be felt. Only a few may hurt people. Many earthquakes happen in China, so it is important to know what to do when one is hit. Here are some good ways on how to stay safe in an earthquake. If you are indoors during an earthquake, hide under a desk. Stay away from windows and anything that could fall on you. If you are outdoors, try to move away from buildings and street lights. These could fall on you. If you are in a shop and far from the door, do not run outside. Everyone will do that and you will find it hard getting out. Hide under a desk. Do not get into a lift (电梯) during an earthquake. When an earthquake has ended, be careful because aftershocks (余震) may still happen. These are just as dangerous as the earthquake itself. So stay under the desk until you think it is really safe to get up. If you are at home and you smell gas, open a window and get out of the building quickly. A gas line in your house may be broken. This could be very dangerous. Make sure you wear shoes after an earthquake. There may be broken glass on the ground.41. All of the earthquakes can hurt people because they are so strong.42. Its safer to hide under a desk than to stay close to the window during an earthquake.43. Aftershocks could be as dangerous as the earthquake itself.44. We should be careful with everything around us when an earthquake happens.45. We must try to find a lift to get out when the earthquake happens.46 As soon as you feel it is an earthquake, you should run away at once, and you neednt wear shoes.47. After the earthquake, you can go home at once.B. Choose the best answer （根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案）：（7分）Taking away a citys rubbish is a big job. Every day trucks come into cities to collect it. Most rubbish is made up of things we cant eat or use. If we kept these things we would soon have a mountain of rubbish.In some cities the rubbish is collected and taken outside of the cities to a dump (堆存处). Often the city dump is placed where the ground is low or there is a big hole. The kitchen rubbish is broken into small pieces and sent into the sewage system. The sewage system takes away the used water from toilets, bathtubs (浴缸) and other places.To keep nice and keep flies away, some earth is used to cover the newly dumped rubbish. Later, grass may be planted on the rubbish-filled land. Finally, a house or school may be built there, and then youd never know that this was once an old rubbish dump.In other cities the rubbish is burnt in special places. The fire burns everything but the metals. Sometimes the metals can be used again in factories where they slowly change into something called humus (腐殖质), which looks like black earth. It is rich with the kinds of things that feed plants and help make them grow.48. You can most probably read the passage in_.A. a newspaper B. a TV guide C. a history book D. a note book49.

Answer the questions （根据短文内容回答下列问题）：（14分）Say “No” to the plastic bagsIn order to stop plastic pollution, China put a ban(禁令) on thin plastic bags (plastic bags thinner than 0.25 mm). From June 1, 2008, China stopped the production, sale and use of these plastic bags. It stopped shops from giving out free plastic bags to the public and call on the consumers to adopt healthy shopping habits to protect our environment.Why are plastic bags so bad?Chinas plastic bag consumption (消费量) has rocketed to near three billion bags per daythats about two for every man, woman and childcausing many tons of plastic to go to landfill sites.The bags can take between 400 and 1,000 years to break down, and like all forms of plastic they do not biodegrade (生物降解). They clog(阻碍) waterways and spoil the landscape. They also pollute the soil and water.Plastic bags also present a serious danger to animals. They often mistake them for food. Thousands of animals die every year after swallowing or choking with discarded (丢弃的) plastic bags.Finally, producing plastic bags requires millions of gallons of petroleum(石油) that could be used for transportation or heating.What can we do?Refuse plastic bags in shops, and try to recycle or reuse the ones you do have. Buy a cloth bag or basket and keep it with you when you need to go to the shops.69. When did China put a ban on thin plastic bags?_ 70. Why did China stop from producing thin plastic bags?_ _ 71.
