Ⅰ.阅读理解

Every year there are hundreds of earthquakes in different parts of the world.In September,1923,Tokyo and Yokohama were both destroyed by an earthquake and the fires that followed it.They had to be completely rebuilt.One of the most serious earthquakes was in China's Shaanxi Province in 1556.It killed almost one million people.
We measure an earthquake's strength on the Richter Scale.The Richter Scale was introduced in 1935 in Southern California in the USA.It measures earthquakes on a scale of one to ten.Any earthquake measuring five or more is usually serious.
The earth's crust is made up of rock called plates.As these plates move,they sometimes crash (撞) against each other,causing the crust to quake.In cities such as Tokyo,where small quakes happen quite often,many modern buildings are designed to be flexible so when the earth moves,they move with it.
Earthquakes can also break up gas and oil pipes.This can cause fires to break out,which can do as much damage as the earthquake itself.Another effect of earthquakes is tsunamis (海啸).These are huge waves created by earthquakes beneath the sea.They can be many metres high and cause great damage to coastal towns and cities.China,Japan,Russia and the USA have the highest occurrence (发生) of earthquakes in the world.

Scientists know where earthquakes are likely to take place.But it is difficult for them to predict how strong an earthquake will be.Now,American researchers have found it possible to predict the strength of future quakes.
The earth's crust—the outermost surface—is made up of large plates.As many as 20 plates cover the earth.They move slowly,sometimes sliding under one another and causing the earthquakes.
Timothy H.Dixon is a geologist (地质学家) in the University of South Florida,who studies rocks and soil to understand the earth.He and other scientists are using global positioning system,or GPS,to measure what he calls “slow-slip” events.
Timothy H.Dixon says that while people can't feel a building breaking off,sometimes deadly earthquakes will happen.The big Japan earthquake in 2011 and the Sumatra earthquake and tsunami in 2004 are the kind,and they are the real killers.So what we think these slow-slip events are telling us that they're letting off steam in areas where there is a break.And if they let off enough steam,the areas won't crack.“The more of the areas that break,” he says,“the more powerful the earthquake is.”
The scientists set up a number of GPS receivers 15 years ago in Costa Rica to measure the “slow-slip” events,which take place only every year or two.The last one was three months before an earthquake in 2012.
You know an earthquake is more or less inevitable.People always want to know when an earthquake is going to happen.This technology cannot predict that.But Timothy H. Dixon says even if you don't know exactly when it's going to happen,since you know it's going to happen,and you know how big it's going to be,you can prepare accordingly.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。科学家知道地震在哪里发生,但他们很难预测地震的强度。现在研究人员发现有可能预测未来地震的强度。

A.Unavoidable. B.Unpredictable.
C.Powerful. D.Terrible.
A [词义猜测题。根据最后一段的语境,可以猜测画线词意为“难以避免的”,故选A。]

A.We can't predict when an earthquake happens forever.
B.His new findings will prevent earthquakes happening.

Ⅱ.七选五
We all know the danger of fires.It's good and necessary for a family to learn how to prepare for a fire.Here are some suggestions.
Put a smoke alarm (烟雾警报器) in the house.Smoke from a fire causes the alarm to go off.The alarm makes a loud sound. 1
Make escape plans.We should know all the ways out of the house. 2 Part of the plan is to check all the windows to make sure they can be opened easily.
Buy fire extinguishers (灭火器) in the house.Everyone in the family should know how to use them.
3 We do fire practice because we teach children about fire safety.Everyone in the family should know the following fire rules:
★Don't open a hot door!The fire can grow more quickly if you open the door.
★Stay close to the floor!Smoke can be more dangerous than fire. 4
★What will you do if your hair or clothes start to burn?First,stop!Don't run!The fire burns faster because of more air.Drop!Fall to the floor.Then roll! 5 Put a blanket (毯子) around you to keep air away from the fire that may still be on you.
There are many possible causes for fires.A wise family is ready all the time.If there is a fire,don't forget to call 119 for help.
A.Practise for a fire.
B.Turning over and over will make the fire go out.
C.The best air is near the floor because smoke rises.
D.The sound tells everyone to leave the house at once.
E.If there is a fire,everyone follows the plan to get out.
F.When a smoke alarm rings at home,it means you should get up.
G.Learning something about fire safety is necessary for all parents.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章就如何应对火灾给我们提出了几点建议。

2.E [根据本段首句“Make escape plans.”可知,我们要制订逃生计划。一旦有火灾发生,我们就可以按照计划逃出去。故选E。]
3.A [根据空后的句子“We do fire practice because we teach children about fire safety.”可知,空处内容应和消防演练有关,故选A。]
4.C [根据空前的句子“Stay close to the floor!”可知,火灾发生时,要使自己靠近地面。由此可以推断,此处应是这样做的原因:因为烟往上升,所以地面附近的空气最好。故选C。]
5.B [根据本段内容可知,空处讲述的应该是头发或衣服着火后的应对方法。选项B(在地上不断地翻滚,火就会熄灭。)符合语境。故选B。]
