Established earthquake warning systems provide at best just a minute or two of notice,leaving
little time for preparedness.Searching for a better warning sign-changes in the geochemistry of
groundwater,electromagnetic effects,and even changes in animal behavior-have failed.Many
question whether such a precursor()even exists.This situation may change soon,as recent
research is providing a glimmer of hope for improved earthquake prediction.
Researchers Quentin Bletery and Jean-Mathieu Nocquet from Cote d'Azur University in France
collected data from over 90 earthquakes.They focused on GPS station records near these quakes,
which accurately captured land movement every 5 minutes with millimeter precision.
They noticed in the first 46 hours,the records showed no significant features.However,
during the 2 hours before the earthquake,signs of increasing movement along the fault zones
appeared.Essentially,there's a slip between plates causing the land above them to move in a
measurable,horizontal direction.A coincidence?The probability of this increase happening just
before the quake and being unrelated is extremely low,and the researchers confirmed this by
analyzing 100,000 random time windows in non-earthquake GPS data.The pattern occurred only
0.03%of the time in non-earthquake data.
While this precursor signal won't be used for warnings anytime soon,officials from the United
States Geological Survey(USGS)admit that this new study provides valuable insights into how to
improve their warning systems-GPS data can grease the wheels of early earthquake warnings.
There are still a number of steps away from putting this precursor signal into use,particularly
since detecting subtle signals at individual faults requires more GPS stations.But the biggest
problem is that many of the world's earthquake regions have no instrumentation."We can't realize
the detection at the scale of one earthquake,so we cannot make predictions,"Bletery said.
1.What remains a tough problem for scientists?
A.To determine the range of an earthquake.B.To detect earthquakes in an early stage.
C.To detect atmosphere during earthquakes.D.To identify animals'possible responses.
2.What did the researchers find through their data analysis?
A.The chance of main ruptures in fault zones.
B.The accuracy of GPS to record earthquakes.
C.The existence of a two-hour precursory phase.
D.The horizontal slip within the first 46 hours.
3.What does the underlined part "grease the wheels of"in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.Distinguish.
B.Contradict.
C.Overmatch.
D.Facilitate.
4.What holds back the practical application of the new findings?
A.The inaccessibility of precursor signals.
B.The complexity of updating GPS stations.
C.The risk of reaching earthquake regions.
D.The consistent slip patterns of earthquakes.

3.D上文“The Chinese calendar is laden with festivals,each
with its unique food.”指出每个节日都有独特食物,D选项
Mooncakes are shared during the Mid-Autumn Festival,
symbolizing unity.(中秋节期间会分享月饼,象征着团圆。)”举
例说明中秋节的特色食物,与下文“The Dragon Boat Festival is
marked by eating zongzi,sticky rice dumplings wrapped in
bamboo leaves,honoring the ancient poet Qu Yuan..”构成并列
关系,是对上文内容的举例说明。故选D。

一、阅读理解
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了关于一种地震前兆信
号的新研究,给地震预测带来了希望。并主要介绍了这项研究的
过程、价值以及阻碍。
I.B细节理解题。根据第一段“Many question whether such a
precursor even exists..”可知,科学家们仍然面临的难题是找到
早期阶段监测地震的方法。故选B。
2.C细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“during the2 hours before
the earthquake,signs of increasing movement along the fault
zones appeared”可知,研究人员通过数据分析发现地震发生前
2小时前兆的存在。故选C。
3.D词义猜测题。画线词上文指出虽然这种前兆信号短期内不
会用于预警,但USGS的官员承认,这项新研究为如何改进他
们的预警系统提供了有价值的见解,故推测下文意思是GPS数
据可以推动早期地震预警的进展,所以grease the wheels of意
思是推动进展。故选D。
4.A推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,因为很多地震地区没有
仪器,所以很难监测前兆信号,也就是前兆信号的不可获取性
阻碍了新发现的实际应用。故选A。
二、语法填空
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了正在建设中的大
连金州湾国际机场,包括其规模、规划、建设面临的挑战,以及大连
现有机场的情况和中国航空业的发展等内容。
1.an考查冠词。可数名词island在句中表示“一座…岛屿”,
泛指,且“8-square-mile'”发音以元音音素开头,应用不定冠词an
修饰。故填an。
2.to handle考查非谓语动词。aim to do sth是固定搭配,意为
“目标是做某事”,用不定式作宾语。故填to handle
3.reads考查时态和主谓一致。句意:大连金州湾国际机场在中
国社交媒体平台上的一篇帖子写着:“这个国家最大的海上机
参考答案与解析
场正像东方的日出一样,从海平面缓缓升起。”read是谓语动
词,与主语a post之间是主动关系,描述现在的情况用一般现在
时态,主语是单数名词,谓语用单数形式。故填reads.。
4.accomplished考查状语从句的省略。在when,while,f,as
if,though although),as,until,once,whether,unless,
where等连词连接的状语从句中,常省略跟主句相同的主语和
be动词。句中“Once
(accomplish)”是时间状语从句,
原句为“Once it is accomplished'”,符合状语从句省略条件,省略
itis后,应保留过去分词accomplished。故填accomplished,
5.but考查连词。not only.but(also).是复合连词,意为“不
但…而且…”。故填but。
6.that考查强调句。分析句子结构可知,此句是强调句,其结构
为“Itis/was十被强调部分十that/who十其他部分”,此处被强
调部分是原句主语“the city of Dalian,with a population of
7.5 million”,句子其他部分用that引出。故填that
7.has been expanded考查时态、语态和主谓一致。expand是并列
谓语动词,与主语The city's international airport之间是被动关系,
结合时间状语“these years'”可知,应用现在完成时的被动语态,主
语是单数名词,谓语用单数形式。故填has been expanded。
8.demonstration考查名词。提示词修饰名词work,用名词
demonstration作定语,意为“证实,论证”,表类别;
demonstration work“论证工作”。故填demonstration。
9.booming考查非谓语动词。“China's aviation
(boom)fast”是独立主格结构作伴随状语,boom与其逻辑主语
China's aviation之间是主动关系,用现在分词表主动。故填
booming。
10.surprisingly考查副词。分析句子可知,空处修饰整个句子,
用副词。故填surprisingly。

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了科学家们创造出的“世
界上最小的小提琴”,包括其尺寸、制作目的、制作过程以及相关的
技术挑战等内容。
l.A细节理解题。根据文中第一段“The violin is,while a
human hair typically ranges from 17 to 180 microns in
diameter,and the much-loved microscopic,microns..”可知,作
者通过将小提琴的尺寸与人类头发的直径以及缓步动物的大
小进行对比,来体现小提琴的极小尺寸。故选A。
2.A细节理解题。根据文中第二段“The miniature violin was
created as a test project to demonstrate the capabilities of a new
nanolithography system...The system will support
identification of new materials and methods for developing
computing devices.”可知,科学家创造这个微型小提琴的主要目
的是测试新的纳米光刻系统这一新技术,而该技术与芯片制作
等相关。故选A。
3.C词义猜测题。根据文中第四段“This coated chip was then
placed under the NanoFrazor,which used its heated tip to burn
the violin pattern in the surface layer.After the design was
etched,the resist was developed by dissolving the exposed
underlayer to leave behind a violin-shaped cavity.”可知,
“etched”指用热针在材料表面雕刻(burn the pattern)出小提琴
图案,后续通过溶解暴露下层形成空腔。因此“etched”意为雕
刻(carved)。故选C。
4.B推理判断题。根据文中最后一段“A key issue is.being
hot while the other remains cool-it can give rise to useful
physical effects that can be harnessed for faster and more
powerful data storage and processing.”可知,热量管理在合适的
条件下能产生有用的物理效应,这些效应可用于更快、更强大
的数据存储和处理,即能提高效率。故选B。
