Question

【題目】 A lot of earthquakes happen in the world every year. Why do earthquakes happen? Scientists tell us the outside of the earth is made of a number of different plates(板塊). The plates move very slowly. Sometimes they stop and don’t move for a long time. When some of the earth’s plates move suddenly, an earthquake happens.

Many earthquakes happen under the sea. Sometimes they happen near mountains. In fact, earthquakes may happen anywhere on the earth. During an earthquake, the shakings make rocks rise suddenly and even break open. Houses fall. People are killed or hurt. Sometimes whole villages or cities are destroyed.

Can we do something to keep ourselves safe from earthquakes? Scientists have studied earthquakes and made maps that show “earthquake belts”. In the areas in these belts, it’s possible for earthquakes to happen. In these areas we can make houses strong enough to stand against earthquakes.

In the future, scientists will be able to predict(預(yù)言) exactly when and where an earthquake will happen. They can tell us what to do and how to do it as well.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容判斷正（T）誤（F）

【1】Few earthquakes happen in the world every year.

【2】The outside of the earth is made of a number of different plates.

【3】We can do nothing to keep ourselves safe from earthquakes.

【4】A map showing the earthquake belts tells people what kind of houses can stand in an earthquake.

【5】In the future, scientists can predict exactly when and where an earthquake will happen.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】F

【2】T

【3】F

【4】F

【5】T

【解析】

本文是一篇說明文，主要介紹了地震的相關(guān)知識，以及如何能減少地震帶給人們的傷害。

【1】題意：每年世界上很少發(fā)生地震。

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)原文第1段A lot of earthquakes happen in the world every year可知，每年世界上發(fā)生很多次地震。題目說法錯誤，故選F。

【2】題意：地球的地殼外層是由許多不同的板塊構(gòu)成的。

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)原文第1段Scientists tell us the outside of the earth is made of a number of different plates可知，科學(xué)家告訴我們地殼外層是由大量不同的板塊組成。題目說法正確，故選T。

【3】題意：我們不能做任何事來保護(hù)自己不受地震的影響。

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)原文第4段可知，科學(xué)家們已經(jīng)研究地震很長時間，制出了標(biāo)明地震帶的地圖。在地震帶上的地區(qū)，我們應(yīng)該建結(jié)實的房屋來對抗地震。題目說法錯誤，故選F。

【4】題意：一張顯示地震帶的地圖告訴人們什么樣的房子能經(jīng)受住地震。

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)原文第4段Scientists have studied earthquakes and made maps that show “earthquake belts”. In the areas in these belts, it’s possible for earthquakes to happen. In these areas we can make houses strong enough to stand against earthquakes可知，畫有地震帶的地圖告訴人們哪些地區(qū)可能發(fā)生地震。題目說法錯誤，故選F。

【5】題意：將來，科學(xué)家可以準(zhǔn)確預(yù)測地震發(fā)生的時間和地點。

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)原文最后一段In the future, scientists will be able to predict(預(yù)言) exactly when and where an earthquake will happen可知，在將來，科學(xué)家將可以在地震發(fā)生前預(yù)告何時、何地發(fā)生地震。題目說法正確，故選T。
