Passage A

（中考选练）

A serious earthquake can be a terrible experience, and it is easy to forget safety measures(措施) in disorder(混乱). Fortunately, most earthquake safety measures are common sense, but if you forget everything else, remember the following instructions: drop, cover, and hold on. Also, most of earthquake deaths happen after the earthquake, so remember that the danger does not end when the shaking does!

If you stay indoors during an earthquake, move away from unsupported areas and windows. Try to get under a doorway or another area of the building which is held up by strong beams(梁).  Stay under a table or desk only if it is very strong. Do not rush to lifts, because it is far safer to stay where you are. Cover your head with your arms around it and curl(蜷缩) into a ball, and wait for the shaking to stop. 

If you stay outdoors during an earthquake, move to an area which is as open as possible. Don’t move to buildings, electric poles and other objects which may fall during an earthquake and injure you. Protect your head and stay low to the ground till the shaking ends and it is safe to move. 

After an earthquake, many buildings are less strong, although they appear safe. If you stay indoors, move people from the building quickly and help disabled or injured people. Once outdoors, move well away from the building so that if it falls down, you will not be injured. Wait till public safety officials announce that it is safe to stay indoors.

By planning ahead and keeping calm during an earthquake, you can greatly increase your chances of survival(生存) without injury. 

(    ) 1.The underlined word “Fortunately” in the first paragraph means______ .

1. especially    B. gradually    C. luckily    D. finally 

(    ) 2.We can learn from the passage that earthquake safety measures________ .

A. are planned for children    B. help us to keep safe

A. to take a lift              B. to stay under a strong table

C. to get under a doorway     D. to cover the head with arms around it

(    ) 4.If you stay outdoors during an earthquake, you can do all the following except________ .

A.trying to protect your head

B.moving to an open place

Passage E

When I was growing up in America, I was ashamed of my mother's Chinese English. Because of her English, she was  often treated unfairly. People in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, pretended not to Understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.
　　My mother has realized the disadvantages of her English as well. When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on phone to pretend I was she. I was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her. One time I had to call her stockbroker (股票经纪人).I said in a voice that was not very convincing, "This is Mrs.Tan."And my mother was standing beside me, whispering loudly, "Why he doesn't send me the cheek. It's already two weeks late."
　  And then ,in perfect English I said : "I'm getting rather anxious .You agreed to send the check two weeks ago, but it hasn't arrived." Then she talked more loudly. "What does he want? I'll come to New York and say it in front of his boss."And so I turned to the stockbroker again, "I can't accept any more excuses. If I don't receive the check immediately, I have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week."
　　The next week we ended up in New York. While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs.Tan, was shouting to his boss in her broken English. When I was a teenager, my mother's broken English embarrassed me. But now, I see it differently. To me, my mother's English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It is my mother tongue. Her language, as I hear it, is clear and direc t. It was the language that helped me form the way I saw things, expressed ideas, and made sense of the world.
