Question

閱讀理解 　　When some plates of the earth move suddenly, an earthquake happens．Many earthquakes begin under the sea．Earthquakes may happen anywhere on the earth．They often happen near the mountains． 　　During an earthquake, the shakings make rocks rise suddenly and even crack(斷裂)open．Houses fall, people are killed or hurt, and sometimes the whole villages or cities are destroyed． 　　Can we do something to keep ourselves safe from earthquakes? Scientists have studied earthquakes and make maps that show the “earthquake belts”．In areas(地區)in these belts, it’s possible for earthquakes to happen．In these areas we should build strong houses to fight against earthquakes． 　　In the future, scientists will be able to tell when and where an earthquake will be before they happen．They can also tell people what to do and how to do it． (1) A large number of earthquakes often happens ________． [　　] A． in the area B． on land C． at night D． next to mountains (2) The reason for an earthquake is ________． [　　] A． the result of rock plate sudden movement B． that there are so many plates on the earth C． that the sea is too deep D． rocks’ cracking open (3) A map showing the earthquake belts will tell people ________． [　　] A． what kind of houses to build B． what kind of houses can stay up in an earthquake C． where earthquake may happen D． how to keep themselves safe during an earthquake (4) In the future we’ll be no longer so afraid of earthquakes ________． [　　] A． with the help of scientists’ exact prediction(預報) B． because of a map showing the “earthquake belts” C． because we can guess the date and place of earthquakes D． as scientists know what to do and how to do it (5) Choose the best title fro the passage． [　　] A． An Earthquake B． A Scientist and an Earthquake C． How to Fight Against Earthquake D． Earthquakes Today and Tomorrow

Answer 1

答案：1．D;2．B;3．C;4．A;5．A;
解析：

(1)	第一節最后的一句話是本題答案的出處．答案題時，尤其要注意該句中的often一詞．
(2)	短文的“When some plates of the earth move suddenly, an earthquake happens”這一句明確告訴我們：地球板塊突然移動時，就導致地震的發生．選項A 不是地震的成因，而是地震產生的結果．這從“…the shakings make rocks rise suddenly and even crack open”一句中可以看出．
(3)	地震帶(earthquake belts)是可能發生地震的地方．這由第三段的中間幾句所描述的內容可知．
(4)	將來科學家能預測出地震發生的時間和地點．有了這種精確的預報，人們當然不會再對地震那么恐懼了．
(5)	短文主要圍繞地震的成因、危害以及對未來科學家們從事地震研究的展望，向我們介紹了地震方面的知識．故選項A為最佳答案． 　　地震是地球上對人類生存構成威脅的最嚴重的自然災害之一．科學家們經過研究，發現了地震活動最頻繁的地方．生活在地震帶地方的人們可以采取適當的措施減少其危害．也許，將來科學家們能在地震之前預測出發生的地點和時間．
