At about 460 miles one earthquake occurs only every few years. Near the surface earthquakes may run as【C2】________ as 100 in a month, but the yearly average does not vary much.

Most deaths in earthquakes have been due to faulty building construction or poor building【C8】________ . A third and very serious factor is panic.

答案
O
解析
上下文题。根据词性,此处应当填入形容词。上文指出“An earthquake in Agadir, Morocco,was not strong enough to be recorded on distant instruments,but it completely destroyed the city.”此处与上文形成对比,意为“许多强度更大的地震造成的灾害却相对较小”。故选little。
