Question

Because earthquakes happen without warning, it’s important to take steps now to prepare. Because you don’t know where you will be when an earthquake happens, prepare some supplies(急需品) for your home, work place, and car.
1．Water
A person needs at least 1/2 gallon(加侖，容量單位) of water daily just for drinking. Store at least 1 gallon of water per(每一個) person per day and be prepared for a 72 hour period. It is suggested that you buy bottled water. Keep bottled water in its original container(容器) and do not open it until you need to use it. Also, do check the “use by” date.
2．Food
It’s always a practical idea to keep a supply of non perishable(不易腐爛的) food on hand. Have an enough supply of canned(灌裝的) food, powdered milk(奶粉), dried fruits, non salted nuts and canned juices for at least 72 hours.
3．Flashlights(手電筒) and spare batteries(備用電池)
Keep a flashlight beside your bed, at your place of work, and in your car. Do not use matches or candles after an earthquake until you are sure that no gas leaks(泄漏).
Prepare a battery powered(裝電池的) radio and spare batteries. Most telephones will be out of order(發生故障), so radios will be your best source of information.
4．Clothes
If you live in a cold place, you must think about warmth. You might not have heat after an earthquake. Think about your clothing and bedding supplies.

解析試題分析：這篇文章講述的地震總是毫無征兆的情況下發生，所以人們要隨時都做好準備，應該在家里，公司，還有車里準備一些水，食物，手電筒和備用電池，還有取暖的衣物。
【小題1】細節題。由第一段第一句Because earthquakes happen without warning, it’s important to take steps now to prepare.由于地震總是毫無預警的發生，所以現在準備一下采取措施是很重要的。故選B
【小題2】細節判斷題。由第二段第二句Store at least 1 gallon of water per(每一個) person per day.每人每天至少儲存一加侖的水。可知，A錯誤。文中為提到必須用自己的容器裝水。故B錯誤。由第二段倒數第二句do not open it until you need to use it.當你需要它的時候才能打開。故C正確。所以，本題答案為C
【小題3】細節判斷題。根據第三段大意，你應該準備一些不易腐爛的食物，有罐裝食物，奶粉，干果，無鹽干果。可知，新鮮蔬菜是不能用了儲藏的。故選B
【小題4】細節判斷題。由第一段prepare some supplies for your home, work place, and car.應該在家里，工作地點，車里都準備一些急需品。故A錯誤。由第五段Most telephones will be out of order, so radios will be your best source of information.在地震中，大多數電話都會發生故障，所以收音機將是你最好的信息來源。故B錯誤。
由第四段Do not use matches or candles after an earthquake until you are sure that no gas leaks.地震后不要使用火柴或者蠟燭，除非你能保證，沒有氣體泄漏。故C正確。所以，本題答案為C
【小題5】細節題。根據最后一段可知，如果你在一個寒冷的地方，應該準備一些御寒的衣服和床上用品。故選A
