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.

Many stronger earthquakes have done comparatively【C6】________ damage. If a building is well constructed and built on solid ground, it will【C7】________ an earthquake. 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
B
解析
上下文题。根据词性,此处应当填入名词。上文提到“If a building is well constructed and built on solid ground,it will resist an earthquake”,此处与上文相对,faulty building对应a building is well constructed,空格处对应solid ground,故选sites“地点,位置”。
