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，班级：小组：姓名：后果将不堪设想。

要求填的词汇都是《大纲》范围内的词汇，因此难度不是很大。

学生应在短文语境中对有用的信息进行推敲，结合整篇文章的内容，确定所需词汇。

通读全文，了解大意。

再读全文，确定所需词的词义、词性和词形。

第 2 题需要动词，由于该句是被动语态，意思是“被修理”，选 mended。

第 3 题为动词，由空前主语和空后的动词不定式决定，根据下文判断意思是“忘记”，选 forgot。

第 4 题选介词。

由语境决定的，意思是“在座位旁边”，选 beside。

第 5 题选动词，意思是“拾起”，恰好是词组 pick up,故事发生在过去，所以选 picked。

第 6 题选动词，由于句子是被动语态，选stopped。

第7 题选名词性物主代词，由于句子是主系表结构，意思是“我的”，选 mine。

第8 题选代词，由后面的 of 结构决定的，指“每一”或者“全部”，选词中没有提供 all；所以选each 。

第 9 题选形容词，由于它修饰的是名词，指“相同的”，选 same。

第 10 题选形容词，由于它修饰的是名词，指“幸运的或好的”，选 lucky 。
