根据文意,本文类似一段关于地震的讲座。
说话者开篇就讲述了地震的危害,并在之后的段落中相继介绍了地震形成的原因,以及用1906年旧金山大地震1923年的东京大地震举例说明了地震也会伴随着大火。
最后,通过这些生动的例子,说话者又利用一个问句引出科学家们通过研究发现,钢筋水泥房是最安全的。
整篇文章没有出现特别难的生词,而且地震也是大家较为熟悉的,所以总体难度并不大。

statements总体难度不高,但是对于layoff,induce,overdue,moratorium,revenue,feasibility等词还是需要同学们平时的多多积累。
另外,做题过程中还要注意对数字的敏感度,如statement10就出现了包括年份、人口数量、城市数量在内的多个数字,千万不要一定到数字就犯晕。
其实做statement还有一个要点是听出一些包含转折、递进、让步等含义的信号词,本次的statement中出现了不少but,however,while,利用这些关键词准确把握句意是做题的关键。
