There you are enjoying an afternoon nap, having a cup of coffee in the morning, or even sleeping on a cold winter night when - WHAM! - the entire crockery (陶器) shelf collapses, and all the plates and cups break into pieces. A painting on the wall nearly knocks you down as it falls.What should one do in an earthquake? The prime-time ( 黄金时间的)news gives no warning, nor is there a time of year, like the monsoon ( 季风) season, when an earthquake always occurs. Unlike a tornado or hurricane, there is no known way of predicting an earthquake.Though about 500, 000 earthquakes occur each year, only 100 of them cause damage! However, an earthquake can strike any time of the day or night, so it needs to be prepared for when you have the misfortune of being caught in the middle of one.If youre indoors, stay indoors, unless youre on the ground floor, where you can easily run outside. The best thing to do if youre indoors is to hide under a strong piece of furniture like a bed or desk. Do not head for the stairway if youre living on an upper storey, because stairways can collapse.If youre driving, get out of traffic and stop on a wide and open road. Do not stop on a bridge, or in another case, under one. Stay inside your car until the shaking stops. Before you restart driving, look out for fissures (裂缝), breaks in the road, and bumps or cracks. Inside your home, be careful not to mm on the gas until you re sure the cylinder (煤气罐) is safe, and there is no leak.Avoid using your telephone unless theres an emergency. You could be occupying lines that are needed by other people.Lastly, if youre not trapped or seriously hurt, do not expect fire fighters, army or police to help you. They may be busy rescuing people in greater need than you!41. What does the passage mainly tell us about?A. How to predict earthquakes.B. What to do during an earthquake.C.

A。细节判断题。根据文章的第二段中的“nor is there a time of year, like the monsoon season”可看出季风在一年中固定的时间发生。43. D。细节判断题。根据第四段中的“If youre indoors, stay indoors, unless youre on the ground floor, where you can easily run outside.”可判断在一楼时最好跑到户外。44. B。猜测词义题。根据画线部分后面的“all the plates and cups break into pieces.”可判断此处指放陶器的架子倒了。break out“（战争、灾害等）爆发”；fall down“突然倒下”；cut down“减少，消减”；drop out“退出，退学”。45. C。推理判断题。根据第五段中的“If youre driving, get out of traffic and stop on a wide and open road. Do not stop on a bridge, or in another case, under one. Stay inside your car until the shaking stops.”可判断只有C正确。4. 基础写作假设你是一位心理辅导老师，你的一位学生因为考试成绩不好而向你求助。针对他的情况，请你以Marks Do Not Mean Everything为题，写一篇短文开导他。要点：1成绩好坏并
