5、雖然不能阻止地震，但可以采取措施減少地震對(duì)城市的破壞程度。如果那樣的話，那么在地球板塊與板塊交界的地方建造房屋肯定不是好辦法。 （這是一個(gè)跨學(xué)科的問(wèn)題，世界上已經(jīng)發(fā)生的地震多數(shù)發(fā)生在地球板塊與板塊交界的地方，科學(xué)家們稱之為地震帶。 由此可見(jiàn)，要學(xué)好英語(yǔ)，還要學(xué)好其他學(xué)科。）第3題選 may。在這里表示猜測(cè)、假設(shè)，意思是“可能”。第4題選 sand 。 “沙地”與前面的rocks 一詞對(duì)應(yīng)。這句話是說(shuō)，如果你認(rèn)為某個(gè)地方可能要發(fā)生地震，最好是將房屋建筑在地質(zhì)比較堅(jiān)硬的地帶，而不能建在地質(zhì)松的地帶。 比如像沙漠這樣的地帶就不能建造房屋。第5題選strong 。除地質(zhì)條件外，將房屋建得strong“

6、牢固”些，也是減輕地震災(zāi)害的一項(xiàng)重要措施。第6題選stay up 。在這里是“站立、矗立”的意思，與前面的 fall down 一詞相對(duì)應(yīng)。第7題選afraid。因?yàn)榕f金山這個(gè)城市就建在太平洋板塊與美洲大陸板塊交界的地帶（環(huán)太平洋地震帶），所以說(shuō)科學(xué)家們感到擔(dān)心、害怕。第8題選houses?？茖W(xué)家們之所以感到擔(dān)心和害怕，是因?yàn)槟抢锏娜诉€在那里建造房屋，這正好與前面說(shuō)的減輕地震災(zāi)害的方法相反。第9題選now 。與前面的1906年相對(duì)比。第10題選if 。文章最后小結(jié)提出假設(shè)：舊金山如果依舊那樣的話，一旦有一天發(fā)生地震，后果將不堪設(shè)想。( 2 )forget, bring，mend，beside，
