试题分析：这篇短文说的是关于地震的知识，地震中如果你在建筑物内，你应该在结实的桌子下或者去小的房间，比如洗浴室，远离窗户，镜子，火炉等。地震时如果你在户外，远离建筑物和路灯，因为它们会倒下伤到你，蹲下身体保护好你的头直到地震结束。地震后应该注意检查自己的伤势，确保身边的人都是安全的，注意余震发生，最后及时收听关于地震的最新消息。

1. 细节辨析题。根据如果你在屋内，If you are inside，You can also get into a small room like the bathroom你可以躲进小的房间比如浴室，判断B是错误的。 Do not get into lift， 不要进电梯，判断A是错误的。Don’t stand near window , large mirrors(镜子)不要站的离窗户近，离镜子近，判断C是错误的，D是正确的。故选择D。

2. you’re outside，Squat (蹲下) and protect your head until the shaking stops，蹲下来保护你的头，知道抖动结束。判断B,C都是错误的。Move away from buildings and streetlights. These could fall on you，远离建筑物和路灯，他们倒下会伤到你，判断A错误，D正确。故选择D。

3.

4. out for aftershocks，小心余震，根据常识，地震之后是余震，我们猜测这个单词是余震的意思，故选择C。
