Question

【题目】 Escaping (逃) from a fire is a serious matter. Knowing what to do during a fire can save your life. It is important to know the ways you can use and show them to everyone in the family, for example, you can use stairways, roofs and fire escapes, but no lifts. From the lower floors of buildings, to escape through windows is possible. The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground. It is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building. Windows are also useful while you are waiting for help.

Here are some tips on how to stay safe in earthquakes. Stay inside and cover. Duck and get under a desk or table, or stand in a corner or under a doorway. Cover your head and neck with your arms. Stay in your seat if in a cinema or a theater. Get below the level of the back of the seat and cover your head and neck with your arms. Try to stay away from kitchens, where there are often many objects that might fall or get hurt.

It is necessary for all to keep the traffic rules in mind and obey them strictly. When one crosses the street, he should take the cross walk(斑马线), underground passage or pedestrian overpass (人行天桥). Keep riding on the right side of the road. When the red light is on, please stop and wait until the green light is on.

【解析】

这篇短文主要讲述了当火灾发生时，我们应该怎样逃离出来，在地震中如何保护自己，及其告诫人们必须严格遵守交通规则。

【1】细节理解。fire escapes 防火梯； lifts电梯； roofs屋顶； stairways楼梯根据文中“It is important to know the ways you can use and show them to everyone in the family, for example, you can use stairways, roofs and fire escapes, but no lifts.”可知，重要的是要知道你的使用方法，并向家庭中的每个人展示，例如，你可以使用楼梯、屋顶和防火梯，但不能使用电梯。可知选项B是错误的。故选B。

【2】推理判断。根据文中“From the lower floors of buildings, to escape through windows is possible. The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground. It is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building. Windows are also useful while you are waiting for help.” 从建筑物的较低楼层，通过窗户逃生是可能的。二楼的窗户通常离地不太高。跳远比呆在燃烧的建筑物里安全。在等待帮助时，Windows也很有用。可知，根据第一段，窗户是从火中逃生的方法之一。故选A。

【3】段落大意。covering your head and neck with your arms用胳膊捂住头和脖子； how to protect yourself in an earthquake如何在地震中保护自己；advice for dangerous situations 危险情况的建议； how to stay calm in an earthquake如何在地震中保持冷静。根据文中“Here are some tips on how to stay safe in earthquakes.”可知，第二段主要讲述了如何在地震中保护自己。故选B。

【4】词句猜测。a water bird with short legs短腿水鸟； some kind of meat for eating一些吃的肉；lower your head and body very quickly非常快地低下头和身体；walk like a duck像鸭子一样走路；根据上文“Stay inside and cover.”及下文“under a desk or table, or stand in a corner or under a doorway”可知，这里是躲到桌子或桌子下面，或站在角落或门口。这里duck的意思是“迅速低下你的头和身体”。故选C。

【5】推理判断。You’d better play and ride on the road. 你最好在路上玩和骑；选项A不正确的；When the green light is on, please wait. 绿灯亮时，请稍候，这个说法不正确；When one crosses the street, one must take the crosswalk过马路时，必须走人行横道，这个说法不对；You should keep the traffic rules in mind and obey them strictly. 你应该牢记交通规则，严格遵守。根据文中“It is necessary for all to keep the traffic rules in mind and obey them strictly.” 大家必须牢记交通规则，严格遵守。可知，最后一段主要讲述了你应该牢记交通规则，严格遵守。故选D。
