SECTION 4. READING /12 points/ 15 min

Read the text and choose the best answers. /6*2=12/
How do you survive an earthquake?
Whether or not you live in an earthquake zone, it’s best to be prepared …
Earthquakes happen because of the movement of plates in the Earth’s outer layer (the ‘mantle’), which
can break and split into new positions. These movements cause vibrations (‘seismic waves’) that
travel along the Earth’s surface. You are more likely to experience an earthquake If you live near a
fault line (a crack or weakness) in one of the plates.
If you’re inside a building when an earthquake happens …
• Stay inside. Get under a piece of heavy furniture (e.g. a table), or crouch in a corner formed by two
inside walls with your arms over your head.
• Keep away from windows and any objects that might fall and injure you.
If you’re outside …
• Move as far away as possible from buildings, trees, streetlamps, etc. Lie on the ground and cover your
head.
• If you are in a car, stay in it, but pull over away from buildings, bridges etc.
After the earthquake it might be helpful to use a piece of cloth to breathe through, to filter the dust. If
you are in a building, wait until it’s safe before you run outside – there may well be aftershocks.
41. What is the main purpose of the text?
A. Writing an essay B. Giving advice C. Telling a tale
D. Telling a story E. Explaining an experiment
42. You are more likely to be affected by an earthquake if you live near a _______
A. plate.
B. window.
C. building.
D. fault line.
E. layer.
43. According to the text, the cause of an earthquake is _______.
A. the movement of the Earth B. the aftershocks C. the new positions
D. a fracture or weakness E. the motion of plates
