【剖析】

这是一篇科普类文章，要求选填的词汇都是浅显易懂的常用词，且都是《大纲》范围内的词汇。因此，学生要通读全文，了解大意。只要能够理解文章上下的内容，对短文语境中有用的信息进行分析、推敲、结合整篇，就可以确定所需词汇。值得注意的是，题目提供的词中有两组形容词、副词的同根词，这就要求我们既要明白文章的意思，还得善用所学的综合知识。

第1题选good。依句型这里需要形容词，看全文应是 “好”。

第2题选two。文章一开始就说，我们虽然不能阻止地震，但可以采取措施减少地震对城市的破坏程度。如果那样的话，那么在地球板块与板

块交界的地方建造房屋肯定不是好办法。（这是一个跨学科的问

题，世界上已经发生的地震多数发生在地球板块与板块交界的地

方，科学家们称之为地震带。由此可见，要学好英语，还要学好

其他学科。）

第3题选 may。在这里表示猜测、假设，意思是“可能”。

第4题选 sand 。 “沙地”与前面的rocks 一词对应。这句话是说，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。

第5题选strong 。除地质条件外，将房屋建得strong“牢固”些，也是减轻地

震灾害的一项重要措施。

第6题选stay up 。在这里是“站立、矗立”的意思，与前面的 fall down 一词相对应。

第7题选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（环太平洋地震带），所以说科学家们感到担心、害怕。第8题选houses。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。

第9题选now 。与前面的1906年相对比。

第10题选if 。文章最后小结提出假设：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。
