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：

45. C。　 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“If you’re 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。

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”。

43. D。　 细节判断题。根据第四段中的“If you’re indoors, stay indoors, unless you’re on the ground floor, where you can easily run outside.”可判断在一楼时最好跑到户外。

42. 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。

41. B。　 主旨大意题。根据下文讲发生地震时“人们在室内、在户外、开车时应该做什么”看，文章讲的是发生地震时“应该做什么”。

45. What should you do if you're driving on a bridge during an earthquake?

　　 A. Stop where you are and get out of the car.

　　 B. Leave the car and nm away.

　　 C. Keep on driving until you’re off it.

D. Stop under the bridge and stay inside your car.

答案：

和其他自然灾害不同的是，地震的发生会很突然，没有任何征兆，现在还没有什么办法能够预测地震，所以我们很有必要掌握一些地震发生时自救的知识。

44. What does the underlined word "collapses" mean in the first paragraph?

　　 A. Breaks out.　　 B. Falls down.　　 　　　 C. Cuts down.　　　　 D. Drops out.

43. What should you do if you are on the first floor of a building?

B. Head for a stairway.

　　 C. Hide under a strong piece of furniture.
