Two strong earthquakes took place in Turkey and Syria on Feb 6. The US Geological Survey (USGS) reported that the biggest Earthquake had a magnitude（震级）of 7.8．It was the strongest earthquake in that area in over 80 years. How did it happen? Earth's surface（表面） has many plates. These plates are always moving. When two plates move past each other, there is an earthquake. Earthquakes can happen from near Earth's surface to the depth（深度） of about 700 kilometers. The shallower（浅的）the quake is，the stronger it is. During the quake in Turkey and Syria, the depth was about 18 kilometers. This is very close to the surface. That's why it caused big damage(破坏). There are about 20 active plates on Earth. They move and cause earthquakes. Most earthquakes happen on the plate boundaries（交界）. About 96 percent of Turkey's land lies on the plate boundaries. That's why the country has earthquakes very often. From 1900 to 2020, it had more than 10 earthquakes stronger than magnitude 7.0. In order to keep safe, when people build houses, they had better not build them on the plate boundaries. Earth-shaking science 76 *Two strong earthquakes 77 Turkey and Syria on Feb 6. *The biggest earthquake had a magnitude of 7.8,which was the___78 one in that area during the 80 years. 79 for earthquakes *When two plates on the Earth's surface move past one 80 , an earthquake forms from near the surface to about 700 kilometers 81 . *The 82 it is to the surface, the bigger damage the earthquake causes. Explanation *Turkey has earthquakes very often 83 about 96 percent of Turkey's land lies on the plate boundaries where most earthquakes happen. *From 1900 to 2020, it had 84 10 earthquakes stronger than magnitude 7.0. *To live 85 , they had better not build houses on the plate boundaries. 七、综合填空 (共10空；每空1. 5分, 满分15分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入恰当的单词或者括号内单词的适当形式，有提示词的空格不限一词，无提示词的空格限填一词。 Many Chinese people speak Mandarin (普通话) .Do you speak a dialect (方言) in 86 (day) life?

Zhang Hongming talked about worries of the disappearing of dialects. “For about over 10 years, in the Wu dialect areas such as Shanghai and Suzhou, children aged 6 to 15 can understand but hardly speak the dialect. Young people above 15 years old sometimes speak it, but not very well. 91 this keeps happening, the dialect might disappear,” he said. So how does China make this big library?
