分析 本文主要讲述了为了预防向地震这样的自然灾害所造成的伤害和死亡人们应该遵守的一些安全提示.
解答 36.G.考查上下文的逻辑意义(空在段中).根据空前的句子"If you're inside a building,stay there!One of the most dangerous things to do in an earthquake is to try to leave a building."可知G项正好有和上句相对应的关键词"people inside buildings try to go out",而且G项的意义"当楼里的人们尽力出去的时候,大多数的伤亡就会发生."也能承接上句.故选G.
37.B.考查主题概括(空在段首).根据空后的这段的描述可知本段主要讲的是"如果你在外面,你就要到一个开阔的地方."所以B项能概括本段的意思.故选B.
38.D.考查上下文的逻辑意义(空在段尾).因D项有与本段上文相同的句式结构(即Don't…),且意义"不要把车停在树下或任何一个高的物体之下."是补全主题的其他细节,也能承接上文.故选D.
39.C.考查上下文的逻辑意义(空在段中)根据空前句子"Don't shout."可知C项中有与它相对应的关键词"shouting",且意义"大喊会使你吸入灰尘"正好承接上句.故选C.
40.F.考查上下文的逻辑意义(空在段中).根据空前本段的主题句"Be prepared for aftershocks."和空后的描述可知F项正好是说明主题的细节,而且句意"余震在地震后的最初几个小时里就可能发生."也能和空后的句子构成转折关系.所以F项能承接上下文.故选F.
