Answer 1

分析 文章大意：這是一篇地質(zhì)災(zāi)害類閱讀，主要介紹美國加利福尼亞州很富裕，擁有大量的土地，也有很多人，自然資源非常豐富，但是有兩個(gè)主要問題：地震和森林火災(zāi)．作者列舉了幾次地震和大火造成的財(cái)產(chǎn)損失和人員傷亡的例子．

解答 56．答案：is；before．閱讀填空題．第一個(gè)空，一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)態(tài)，everything做主語謂語動(dòng)詞用單數(shù)，這里是系表結(jié)構(gòu)，因此用is，表示"任何事情都不是完美的"．第二個(gè)空，根據(jù)上句They often kill people．它們經(jīng)常殺人．及下句消防隊(duì)員可以滅火．可知，應(yīng)該是把火撲滅前燒死很多人，因此用連詞before在…之前．答案是is；before．
57．答案：Because of；quickly．考查近義詞．第一個(gè)空As a result of由于，后跟代詞it它，可以用Because of由于，代替．第二個(gè)空，rapidly迅速地，副詞，可以用quickly迅速地，代替．答案是Because of；quickly．
58．答案：Some of the earthquakes are very strong．漢譯英．原句是陳述句，一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)態(tài)，主要是"其中一些地震"Some of the earthquakes．謂語動(dòng)詞用復(fù)數(shù)are．"非常強(qiáng)烈"very副詞，修飾形容詞strong．這里是系表結(jié)構(gòu)．答案是Some of the earthquakes are very strong．
59．答案：over； lost．考查同義句．More than 3，000 people died after it超過3000人死于它之后．可以表達(dá)為"超過3000人在那之后失去了生命．"，more than超過，用over代替．died死亡，過去式形式，用lost（lose的過去式） their lives失去了他們的生命代替．答案是over； lost．
60．答案：earthquake．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)上句There have also been many other strong earthquakes．還有許多其他強(qiáng)烈地震．可知，這里的one代指earthquake地震．填earthquake．

點(diǎn)評 閱讀題型，要注重句子與句子之間、段落與段落之間邏輯關(guān)系以及對篇章的整體理解．根據(jù)所給問題選擇正形式完成試題．
