Question

【題目】 Earthquakes may happen anywhere on the earth. When some plates(板塊) of the earth move suddenly, an earthquake happens. Many earthquakes begin under the sea. They often happen near the mountains (山脈), too.

During an earthquake, the shakings make rocks rise suddenly and even crack(斷裂) open. Houses fall, people are killed or hurt, and sometimes the whole villages or cities are destroyed(破壞).

Can we do something to keep ourselves safe from earthquakes? Scientists have studied earthquakes and made maps that show the “earthquake belts”. In areas in these belts, it’s possible for earthquakes to happen. In these areas we should build strong houses to fight against (對抗) earthquakes.

In the future, scientists will be able to tell when and where an earthquake will be before they happen. They can also tell people what to do and how to do it.

【1】The reason for an earthquake is _________________.

A. that some plates move suddenly

B. that the sea is too deep

C. Rocks’ cracking open

D. that the mountains are too high

【2】 A lot of earthquakes often happens _________________.

A. in the area B. next to mountains

C. at night D. in the morning

【3】 A map showing the earthquake belts will tell people _________________.

A. what kind of houses to build

B. what kind of houses can stay up in an earthquake

C. where earthquakes may happen

D. when earthquakes may happen

【4】 Which of the following is True according to the passage?

A. During an earthquake few people are killed or hurt.

B. The scientistscan tell when and where an earthquake is now.

C. We should build strong houses to fight against earthquakes.

D. Earthquakes all happen near the mountains.

【5】In the future, we’ll be no longer so afraid of earthquakes _________________.

A. with the help of scientists’ exact prediction(預(yù)測)

B. because of a map showing the “earthquake belts”

C. because we can guess the date and place of earthquakes

D. because no earthquakes will happen around us

【5】A

【解析】

試題分析：這篇文章主要講了地震發(fā)生的原因，地震的常發(fā)地，將來專家能預(yù)測地震發(fā)生的時(shí)間和地點(diǎn)，所以我們不必?fù)?dān)心將來發(fā)生地震。

【1】A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段中“When some plates of the earth move suddenly，an earthquake happens."可知，地球是由許多板塊構(gòu)成的，板塊的移動產(chǎn)生了地震，所以根源在板塊。故選A。

【2】B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第一段內(nèi)容可知，They often happen near the mountains (山脈), too地震常發(fā)生在山脈附近。故選B。

【3】C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第三段內(nèi)容可知，地圖將告訴我們地震帶常發(fā)生地震。故選C。

【4】C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文In these areas we should build strong houses to fight against (對抗) earthquakes.。在這些區(qū)域，我們應(yīng)該建立結(jié)實(shí)的房子來抵抗地震。故選C。

【5】A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文最后一段內(nèi)容可以推測出專家能預(yù)測地震發(fā)生的時(shí)間和地點(diǎn)，所以我們不必?fù)?dān)心將來發(fā)生地震。故選A。
