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 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.[来源:学*科*网]‎ The Mississippi River itself completely changed character, developing sudden rapids and whirlpools(激流和漩涡). 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 severity 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, D.C..‎ Scientists now know that America's two major faults are essentially different. 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 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 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 indicate that larger ones are probably coming, but the scientists say they have no method of predicting when a large earthquake will occur.[来源:学.科.网Z.X.X.K]‎ 文章大意:本文通过历史回顾和科学分析,提醒人们多关注New Madrid地区频繁的地震。‎ ‎1.This passage is mainly about________.‎ ‎ A. the New Madrid fault ‎ B. the San Andreas ‎ C. the causes of faults ‎ D. current scientific knowledge about faults ‎ 答案:A 主旨大意题。由本文第一段的最后一句话“But how many people know about the equally serious New Madrid fault in Missouri? ”可知。‎ ‎2.Which of the following pictures best describes the type of the New Madrid fault?‎ ‎[来源:zzstep.com]‎ 答案:B 细节理解题。本文第四段和第五段内容可以判断The San Andreas fault是水平地震,而The New Madrid fault是垂直地震,所以B项正确。‎ ‎3.This passage implies that________.‎ A. horizontal faults are more dangerous than vertical faults B. vertical faults are more dangerous than horizontal faults C. a lot of people would die if the 1811 New Madrid earthquakes happened today D. the volcanoes that caused the New Madrid fault are still alive.‎ 答案:C 推理判断题。本文无A、B两项相关内容;根据第五段中第二句“Suddenly, the ‎ volcanoes cooled and the rock collapsed, leaving huge cracks. Even now, the rock continues to settle downwards”可以排除D项;根据第三段第三句“Few people were killed in the New Madrid earthquakes, probably simply because few people lived in the area in ‎1811”‎可以推测答案为C。‎ B[来源:1]‎ A powerful earthquake struck the northeastern coast of Japan at 2:46 p. m. local time on March 11th, 2019. 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 Seismic Intensity Meters(地震烈度测量仪) 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 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 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 9.0magnitude 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 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 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。日本的地震预警系统位居世界前列,能在地震发生后的两分钟内提供信息。三分钟内能够提供有关地震强度和震中的信息。在海啸预警方面,日本是世界上准备工作做得最充分的国家之一,但这次他们没有预测出这次海啸的规模如此之大。‎ ‎4.From the second paragraph we can infer that________.‎ ‎ A.Japan is an island country ‎ B.the center of the earthquake is located in the northeastern coast ‎ C.the meters in Japan have dropped behind[来源:中,国教,育出,版网]‎ ‎ D.many measures have been carried out to reduce the consequences of earthquakes in ‎Japan 答案:D 推理判断题。A说法正确,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。根据“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.”判断,C项推理错误。D项根据所列事实可以推断得出。‎ ‎5.The underlined word “anticipated” in the third paragraph probably means“________”.‎ ‎ A. predicted B. measured ‎ C. counted D. prevented 答案:A 猜测词义题。根据第四段和第五段信息可知,日本的海啸预警系统是世界上最好的之一,此次失误在于没有预料到海啸的规模如此大。[来源:1]‎ ‎6.The underlined words “these facts” in the last paragraph refer to the following EXCEPT________.‎ ‎ A. the concrete sea walls can't control the wave ‎ B. it is the worst earthquake happening in Japan in the history[来源:1]‎ ‎ C. the speed of the tsunami is frightening and quick ‎ D. there are many earthquakes in ‎Japan 答案:D 细节认定题。根据文章倒数第二段、倒数第三段内容可知答案为D。‎ ‎7.Which may be the best title of this passage?‎ ‎ A. Earthquakes and tsunamis can be predicted ‎ B. A 9.0magnitude earthquake hit ‎Japan ‎ C. Japan's concrete sea walls ‎ D. A report about Japan's early warning systems 答案:D 主旨大意题。根据全文内容判断,文章介绍日本拥有世界上最先进的地震、海啸预警系统,但没有预料到这次大地震和海啸如此之猛。‎ ‎8.On which column of China Daily can you find the passage?‎ ‎ A. Technology B. Culture discovery[来源:中#国教#育出#版网]‎ ‎ C. Travel D. History 答案:A 推理判断题。本文主要介绍的是日本的地震、海啸预警系统的先进性和局限性。‎
