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.

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】______.

答案
O
解析
little,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。
