【解析】短文大意:这是一篇科普类文章,该文中介绍了一些防震减灾的方法。首先,在地球的板块连接处松软的地方建造房屋不是一个好的的想法。其次,如果你认为那里可能有地震,最好是把房子建在岩石上。第三,你必须使房子尽可能地牢固。

(1)根据句意:要在地球的板块连接处松软的地方建造房屋不是一个好的的想法。所填词在句中修饰名词该用形容词,结合所给的词汇可知该填写good。

(2)根据句意:要在地球的板块连接处松软的地方建造房屋不是一个好的的想法。结合所给的词汇可知该填写soft。

(3)根据句意:如果你认为那里可能有地震,最好是把房子建在岩石上。结合所给的词汇可知该填写may。在这里表示猜测、假设,意思是“可能”。

(4)根据句意:如果你认为某个地方可能要发生地震,最好是将房屋建筑在地质比较坚硬的地带,而不能建在地质松的地带。 比如像沙漠这样的地带就不能建造房屋。结合所给的词汇可知该填写sand, “沙地”与前面的rocks 一词对应。

(5)根据句意:除地质条件外,将房屋建得 “牢固”些,也是减轻地震灾害的一项重要措施。所填词在句中修饰动词作状语该用副词,结合所给的词汇可知该填写strongly。

(6)根据句意:软弱的建筑物将在地震中倒塌,但强的建筑物可以矗立不动。结合所给的词汇可知该填写stay up。, 在这里是“站立、矗立”的意思,与前面的 fall down 一词相对应。

(7)根据句意:科学家们之所以感到担心和害怕,是因为那里的人还在那里建造房屋。结合所给的词汇可知该填写afraid。, 因为旧金山这个城市就建在太平洋板块与美洲大陆板块交界的地带,所以说科学家们感到担心、害怕。

(8)根据句意:科学家们之所以感到担心和害怕,是因为那里的人还在那里建造房屋。这正好与前面说的减轻地震灾害的方法相反。结合所给的词汇可知该填写houses。

(9)根据句意:旧金山及周边地区的人口现在比1906的多十几倍。这正好与前面说的减轻地震灾害的方法相反。结合所给的词汇可知该填写times。

(10)根据句意:旧金山如果依旧那样的话,一旦有一天发生地震,后果将不堪设想。结合所给的词汇可知该填写if,文章最后小结提出假设。
