They destroy cities and create other disasters, such as fires, landslides and tsunamis. Climate change is causing increases in other natural disasters, like wildfires and hurricanes. So could it make earthquakes more common too? The biggest and most dangerous type of earthquake is the movements of the plates. Heat coming from deep within the planet causes these plates to move an average of 1.5 centimetres per year, making them rub up against each other. The pressure in those areas builds until it reaches a breaking point where the plates will move suddenly, releasing energy that causes earthquakes. Unlike other disasters, it’s difficult to predict when earthquakes will happen, making planned evacuations impossible. Unluckily, climate change could make quakes happen more often. With global warming, glaciers (冰川) are melting at an increased rate. “When melted glacier water flows off land and into the sea, the land that used to sit underneath it rises,” said John Cassidy, an earthquake seismologist at the Geological Survey of Canada. It’s the same principle as when a child pushes a pool noodle below the surface and then lets it go: The noodle stays down as long as there’s pressure from above, but as soon as that pressure is released, it rises back up. When this happens, pressure differences can cause earthquakes. More concerning than glacial-melt earthquakes are those that could be caused by an increase in sea level. As sea levels rise, pressure underwater on the seafloor also goes up. However, Cassidy is uncertain whether sea level rise would make these big quakes happen faster. He stressed that when they do happen, climate change will make them more dangerous. Tsunamis caused by earthquakes will reach farther inland. Warmer oceans will lead to increased rainfall, which will raise the danger of landslides. There’s still a lot scientists have to learn. “It’s an important topic that we’ll see a lot of information coming out in the coming years,” Cassidy said. “But no matter what we’ve discovered, it’s not good news.” 24．What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A．The danger of the heat. B．Why the plates move. C．The problem of the pressure. D．How the earthquake happens. 25．What does the underlined word “evacuations” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Medical assistance systems. B．Emergency rescue operations. C．Reconstruction plans after disasters. D．Actions to move people from dangerous areas. 26．How does the author explain that climate change causes earthquakes? A．By using what an expert said. B．By comparing it with other things. C．By giving an interesting example. D．By telling it from pool noodle. 27．What will scientists have to do in the future? A．They have to face global warming. B．They will prevent sea level rising. C．They should further study earthquakes. D．They need to take action to stop disasters. 五、任务型阅读 任务型阅读（每空一词）。 What is a hurricane (飓风)? You may already know that hurricanes are storms that can cause devastating (毁灭性的) waves, wind, and rain. They happen during “Hurricane Season”, from June 1st to November 30th in the Atlantic Ocean and from May 15th to November 30th in the Pacific Ocean. Categories (类别) of hurricanes There are five categories of hurricanes, which are based on wind speeds. The categories help people know how much damage a hurricane may cause because the greater the wind speed, the more dangerous the storm. For example, a Category 5 hurricane has winds over 155 miles per hour, which are strong enough to break the buildings along the seaside completely. Hurricane dangers When a hurricane happens together with heavy rainfall, there can be a devastating flood. The centre of a hurricane is called the eye. While most of a hurricane has dangerously strong winds, the eye in fact is a calm area in the storm. When the eye of a hurricane passes over land, people might think that it’s over, but before long the wind and rain increase again as the second part of the hurricane moves through. Hurricane safety tips There is no way to stop a hurricane or make it change direction, so if you ever find yourself in the path of a hurricane, be sure to remember the following safety tips. Be sure to have a radio, batteries, fresh drinking water, and enough food. Tell neighbours, friends, and family members your emergency plans. Tell them where you’ll go if you need to leave your home. If you live near the ocean, leave your home and travel to safe places. You can stay with a friend or family member, in a hotel/motel, or in an emergency shelter area. Stay inside during the storm. You could be seriously injured if you go outside. Hurricanes Features ·“Hurricane Season” usually lasts 28 months in the Atlantic Ocean and 6.5 months in the Pacific Ocean. · Hurricanes are the 29 of terrible waves, wind and rain. Kinds · Different hurricanes have different 30 speeds. ·A Category 5 hurricane can destroy all the 31 along the shorelines. 32 When a hurricane comes together with heavy rainfall, a terrible 33 may happen. The eye is the 34 of a hurricane. Soon after it passes, the wind and rain increase again. Safety tips · It isn’t 35 to stop a hurricane or make it change its direction. · Don’t forget the safety tips if you find yourself in the 36 of a hurricane. · Don’t stay 37 during the storm, or you could be seriously injured. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 《Unit 8 Safe and sound Assessment 课后练习》参考答案 题号 24 25 26 27 答案 D D B C 1．emergency 2．accident 3．calm 4．safe and sound 5．put out
