Question

My name is Doug Copp. I am the manager of the world's most famous rescue team（营救队伍）.I saved people from 875 fallen buildings, worked with rescue teams from over 60 countries and I am a member of many rescue teams from many countries. Today I will tell you something about ‘the triangle of life'.

When buildings fall, the ceilings（天花板）fall upon the furniture or objects（物体）,but leave a place next to them. It is 'the triangle of life’.The larger and the stronger the pieces of furniture or objects, the bigger the places there will be. They are everywhere. It is very common in a fallen building.

How do we use the TRIANGLE?

•Cats, dogs and babies curl up and don't move at all when they are in danger.You should do like this in an earthquake too. It is natural. Stay next to an object, for example, next to a sofa, to keep yourself safe.

•Stay Near the Outer Walls Of Buildings Or Outside Of Them If Possible - It is much better to be near the outside of the building, not the inside.

•If you are in bed during the night and an earthquake happens, you can just be off the bed. A safe space will be there around the bed. It is important to remember: don't get out. Just lie down on the floor.

【解析】

本文是说明文。日本著名救援队队长告诉我们在地震中，要像狗和猫一样，蜷缩一团来保护自己，待在“三角形的生命空间”等待救援。

1.细节理解题。根据短文第一段第2句“I am the manager of the world's most famous rescue team”可知Doug Copp是世界上著名救援队的经理，故选B。

2.词义猜测题。根据后面的“and don't move at all when they are in danger.”当他们处于危险时，一动也不动，根据生活常识可推测，狗和猫蜷缩成一团，故选C。

3.细节理解题。根据Stay Near the Outer Walls Of Buildings Or Outside Of Them可知地震发生时，待在建筑物外墙附近或者外墙外，故选D。

4.最佳标题。短文是世界上著名的救援队队长给出的地震发生时应该做的逃生方法是在三角形空间，所以最佳题目是The Triangle of Life，故选C。
