【语篇解读】 这是一篇说明文。介绍了历史上发生在世界范围内破坏程度严重的地震。
1．答案与解析：C 细节理解题。由第一段“Mst places in the wrld, hwever, have them regularly.”可知，然而，世界上大多数地方都经常发生地震。所以地震经常发生在世界上大多数的地方。
2．答案与解析：B 细节理解题。由倒数第二段“The wrst earthquake ever reprted was als in China, in which 400,000 peple were killed r injured. This earthquake happened in 1556.”可知，有史以来最严重的地震发生在中国，有40万人死亡或受伤。这次地震发生在1556年。所以有史以来最严重的地震发生在1556年的中国。
3．答案与解析：C 细节理解题。由第三段“Strng earthquakes are nt always the nes that kill the mst peple.”可知，强烈地震并非总是造成最多的人死亡。故C选项“地震越强烈，死亡的人就越多”是错误的。
4．答案与解析：C 推理判断题。由最后一段 “Earthquakes wrry peple a lt. The reasn is that we ften d nt knw when they are cming. Peple cannt prepare fr earthquakes.”可知，地震让人们非常担心。原因是我们经常不知道地震什么时候发生。人们不能为地震做准备。那么在第七段就要向人们科普一下人们为地震做准备要做些什么事情。

Yur state f health may als be different frm a recent illness.”可知，会影响你头发状况的因素有你头发的状况和需求、季节和你的健康状况。
