Ⅱ.阅读理解【主题:人与社会　地震安全逃生】
Earthquakes happen without warning(前兆).They can happen any time of a day,at any point during the year.But don’t worry because most are so weak that they cannot be felt.Only a few big ones hurt people.However,it’s important to know what to do when an earthquake is happening.
Do NOT go outside immediately.You could get injured from falling glass or parts of buildings.If you are outside,stay away from buildings and power lines(输电线).
Stay under a desk,table,or other strong furniture.Hold on to it.Or stay in a corner of the building.Cover your face and head with your arms and cover your mouth with a towel or clothing.Stay inside until shaking stops and it is safe to go outside.
Keep away from windows,pictures or advertisements on the wall or the building,and anything else that could fall and hurt you.Most people get injured by falling things during an earthquake,not by the shaking itself.
Also keep away from a fire.You could fall down and burn yourself on the fire.
If you are driving when an earthquake happens,stop the car if it’s safe.Stay inside your car until the earthquake stops,and don’t drive near bridges.Try not to stop by power lines or trees.These could fall and hurt you.

Ⅲ.阅读表达【主题:人与社会　震后救援】
Life is full of the unexpected.No one knows what will happen tomorrow.A very strong earthquake, with a magnitude(震级) of 6.8,hit Morocco on the night of Sept.8,2023.At that time,Sam was away from his family home in the small town of Tamaloukte,near the epicenter(震中) of the earthquake.He hurried back home through the broken buildings that covered the roads.
When he arrived,he found that his house was completely broken apart.Sam’s father,Mohamed,was trying very hard to save his three grandchildren who were still inside.Sadly,two of Sam’s three children—his 11-year-old daughter,Asma,and 5-year-old son,Ibrahim died.
“I was sleeping at home when the earthquake hit.Later a neighbour told me that my second house where the grandchildren lived had fallen down,so I hurried to save them but found them under the fallen building.The roof came down while they were inside,”Mohamed explained.
Asma and Ibrahim are among the 47 people who lost their lives in the earthquake in Tamaloukte.
Volunteers provided Sam’s family with a tent,warm clothes,and food to help them live through the first part of the disaster(灾难).The people from the Moroccan Red Crescent also helped Sam’s family as they dealt with their huge loss.
In the face of disasters,it’s impossible to bring back what people have lost,but offering a hand in time will help the families rebuild their lives.The help is just the first step for a family to get better after an earthquake.

3.How many people died in the earthquake in Tamaloukte
