One of the main reasons due to which people lose their life during an earthquake is because they get panicky.Though it is very difficult to remain calm when the earth under you is shaking，it is very important to be so.__3__If you are inside your house or office when the earthquake begins, do not try to run out of the building.This is because it has been reported that most of the deaths are caused when people try to move outside the building.When you start experiencing the vibration, the first thing that you should do is to get under a strong bed or table.__4__You can use pillow, newspapers, blanket, big boxes, etc., to protect yourself from falling remains.Another thing that you have to remember is that you should stay away from china cabinets, tall shelves, mirrors, huge furniture, glass windows, sliding doors, etc., during an earthquake.This is because the shaking and vibration can cause them to fall.__5__However, even if you do so, never use the elevator during an earthquake because the electricity may go off, leaving you stuck in there.
A．They will help them to be safe during an earthquake.
B．You should ensure that you and your family are safe.
C．Make sure that you stay inside the car till the earthquake stops.
D．As I said earlier, it is best to avoid trying to run out of the building.
E．Sometimes, volcanic activity can also give rise to an earthquake, too.
F．Other than this, it would also be a good idea to cover your head and face.

【语篇解读】 今年全球大型 [本段前两句说的是地震的形成原因第四句的Whatever be the reason of the earthquake说明本句说的也是地震的一种起因。该项的volcanic activity can also give rise to an earthquake与文义吻合。] [该项的They will help them to be safe就是指上一句的earthquake safety procedures只有了解了这些常识才能有效防震。] [本段第一句的get panicky和第二句的it is very important to be so说明地震时应保持镇静确保自己和家人安全和该项的ensure that you and your family are safe吻合。] [该项的cover your head and face和下一句的use pillow, 吻合说明护头和护脸的方法。] [本句的trying to run out of the building和下一句的e the elevator吻合说明尽量避免往建筑物外面跑。]维D 短文改错 to you for inviting me to stay with you in the

第一处 此处应该使用形容词作表语感激。第二处 这里说的是来年夏天所以应使用coming作定语。第三处 现在完成进行时表示有可能一直发生下去的动作。第四处 结合语境可知这里是转折关系。第五处 直接用this summer表示“今年夏天”其前不使用介词。第六处 通过标点判断这里是非限制性定语从句指的是人所以用who引导。第七处 这里考查到了so...that...结构引导结果状语从句。第八处 只有it能作形式主语be busy with接名词的用法而be busy doing sth是习惯用法。第十处 说的是现在的打算所以用一般现在时。
