Question

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

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

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 (对抗) 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(预测)

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

Answer 1

【1】A

【2】B

【3】C

【4】C

【5】A

【解析】

试题分析：这篇文章主要讲了地震发生的原因，地震的常发地，将来专家能预测地震发生的时间和地点，所以我们不必担心将来发生地震。

【1】A细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“When some plates of the earth move suddenly，an earthquake happens."可知，地球是由许多板块构成的，板块的移动产生了地震，所以根源在板块。故选A。

【2】B细节理解题。根据短文第一段内容可知，They often happen near the mountains (山脉), too地震常发生在山脉附近。故选B。

【3】C细节理解题。根据短文第三段内容可知，地图将告诉我们地震带常发生地震。故选C。

【4】C细节理解题。根据短文In these areas we should build strong houses to fight against (对抗) earthquakes.。在这些区域，我们应该建立结实的房子来抵抗地震。故选C。

【5】A 细节理解题。根据短文最后一段内容可以推测出专家能预测地震发生的时间和地点，所以我们不必担心将来发生地震。故选A。
