11、害怕”。.閱讀理解AEveryone has heard of the San Andreas fault (斷層), which constantly threatens California and the West Coast with earthquakes. But how many people know about the equally serious New Madrid fault in Missouri?Between December of 1811 and February of 1812, three major earthquakes occurred, all

12、centered around the town of New Madrid, Missouri, on the Mississippi River. Property damage was severe. Buildings in the area were almost destroyed. Whole forests fell at once, and huge cracks opened in the ground, releasing some strong smell chemicals.The Mississippi River itself completely changed

13、 character, developing sudden rapids and whirlpools(激流和漩渦). Several times it changed its course, and once, according to some observers, it actually appeared to run backwards. Few people were killed in the New Madrid earthquakes, probably simply because few people lived in the area in 1811; but the s

14、everity of the earthquakes was shown by the fact that the shock waves rang bells in church towers in Charleston, South Carolina, on the coast. Buildings shook in New York City, and clocks were stopped in Washington, DC.Scientists now know that America's two major faults are essentially different

15、. The San Andreas is a horizontal(水平的)boundary between two major land masses that are slowly moving in opposite directions. California earthquakes result when the two masses make a sudden move.The New Madrid fault, on the other hand, is a vertical fault; at some point, possibly hundreds of millions

16、of years ago, rock was pushed up toward the surface, probably by volcanoes under the surface. Suddenly, the volcanoes cooled and the rock collapsed, leaving huge cracks. Even now, the rock continues to settle downwards, and sudden sinking motions cause earthquakes in the region. The fault itself, a

17、large crack in this layer of rock, with dozens of other cracks that split off from it, extends from northeast Arkansas through Missouri and into southern Illinois.Scientists who have studied the New Madrid fault say there have been numerous smaller quakes in the area since 1811; these smaller quakes

18、 indicate that larger ones are probably coming, but the scientists say they have no method of predicting when a large earthquake will occur.文章大意：本文通過歷史回顧和科學分析，提醒人們多關注New Madrid地區頻繁的地震。1This passage is mainly about_.A. the New Madrid fault B. the San Andreas C. the causes of faults D. current scienti

19、fic knowledge about faults 答案：A主旨大意題。由本文第一段的最后一句話“But how many people know about the equally serious New Madrid fault in Missouri？”可知。2Which of the following pictures best describes the type of the New Madrid fault?答案：B細節理解題。本文第四段和第五段內容可以判斷The San Andreas fault是水平地震，而The New Madrid fault是垂直地震，所以B項正確

20、。3This passage implies that_.A. horizontal faults are more dangerous than vertical faultsB. vertical faults are more dangerous than horizontal faultsC. a lot of people would die if the 1811 New Madrid earthquakes happened todayD. the volcanoes that caused the New Madrid fault are still alive.答案：C推理判

21、斷題。本文無A、B兩項相關內容；根據第五段中第二句“Suddenly, the volcanoes cooled and the rock collapsed, leaving huge cracks. Even now, the rock continues to settle downwards”可以排除D項；根據第三段第三句“Few people were killed in the New Madrid earthquakes, probably simply because few people lived in the area in 1811”可以推測答案為C。BA powerf

22、ul earthquake struck the northeastern coast of Japan at 2：46 p. m. local time on March 11th, 2011. Japan's Meteorological Agency released its first tsunami warnings just three minutes later. The country has one of the best earthquake early warning systems in the world.There are over 4,000 Seismi

23、c Intensity Meters(地震烈度測量儀) in place throughout Japan to measure earthquake activity. These meters provide information within two minutes of an earthquake happening. Information about the strength and the center of the earthquake can be learned within three minutes. There are also concrete sea walls

24、 around much of the Japanese coastline. But these measures proved no match for the powerful earthquake and tsunami.Castas Synolakis is a tsunami expert in Los Angeles. He says, “Japan is one of those most well­prepared countries on earth in terms of tsunami warning. They had a warning. I think

25、what went wrong is that they had not anticipated the size of this event.”He says there are two reasons for this. Japan has not had any event anywhere near as big as this one in the last 150 years. And scientists had not expected such a large earthquake happening off the coast of Japan.The 9. 0­

26、magnitude earthquake was the 4th most powerful earthquake ever recorded worldwide. It was also the worst earthquake ever to hit Japan. The tsunami waves that followed were reported to have reached as high as 13 meters in some areas.Costas Synolakis says Japan's concrete sea walls were not built

27、to handle such high waves. A tsunami wave can travel as fast as 800 kilometers per hour. To get to higher ground people would often have to travel for many kilometers. This can take more time than a fast traveling tsunami will permit. This is especially true in cases like Japan, where the center of

28、the earthquake struck so close to the coastline. The tsunami waves followed almost immediately.Experts say early warning systems will continue to be limited by these_facts until earthquakes and tsunamis can be predicted.文章大意：本文是科技文。日本的地震預警系統位居世界前列，能在地震發生后的兩分鐘內提供信息。三分鐘內能夠提供有關地震強度和震中的信息。在海嘯預警方面，日本是世界上

29、準備工作做得最充分的國家之一，但這次他們沒有預測出這次海嘯的規模如此之大。4From the second paragraph we can infer that_.AJapan is an island countryBthe center of the earthquake is located in the northeastern coastCthe meters in Japan have dropped behindDmany measures have been carried out to reduce the consequences of earthquakes in Japan答案：D推理判斷題。A說法正確，但不是本段的推理；B不是由第二段推理得出的，是第一段中明示的信息。根據“These meters provide information within two minutes of an earthquake happening.Information about the strength and the center of the earthquake can be learned with
