We can't stop an earthquake ( 地震 ), but we can do things to make sure they don't destroy ( 毁坏 ) whole cities. First, it is not a 1. ________ idea to build houses along lines where 2. ________ of the earth's plates ( 板块 ) join together. Second, if you think there 3. ________ be an earthquake, it is better to build houses on rocks, not on 4. ________. Third, you must make the houses as 5. ________ as possible. Weak buildings will fall down in an earthquake, but strong ones may 6. ________. Scientists are 7. ________ that one day an even bigger earthquake will hit the part around San Francisco ( 旧金山 ). They call it “ The Big One ”. However, people today are still building more 8. ________. The population in and around San Francisco is 9. ________ ten times more than it was in 1906. This means that 10. ________ there is another earthquake, a great many houses and buildings will be destroyed. 【答案】 good 2. two 3. may 4. sand 5. strong 6. stay up 7. afraid 8. houses 9. now 10. if 【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。
