Question

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

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

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

1.A large number of earthquakes often happen_________________.

A. in the area B. on land

C. at night D. next to mountains

2.The reason for an earthquake is ______________________.

A. the result of rock sudden movement

B. rocks’ cracking open

C. that there are so many plates on the earth.

D. that the sea is too deep.

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. how to keep themselves safe during the earthquake

4.In the future we’ll be no longer so afraid of earthquakes_____________.

A. with the help of scientists’ exact predication(預(yù)報).

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

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

D. as scientists know what to do and how to do it.

【解析】

試題分析：這篇短文給我們講述了關(guān)于地震的一些知識，如地震發(fā)生的原因，地震發(fā)生時的現(xiàn)象以及科學(xué)家們對地震的研究。在未來科學(xué)家們可以預(yù)測地震的發(fā)生，那時候，我們就不用再害怕地震了。

1.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第一段中They often happen near the mountains.可知，地震經(jīng)常發(fā)生在山區(qū)附近，故應(yīng)該選D。

2.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第二段中When some plates(版塊) of the earth move suddenly, an earthquake happens可知，當?shù)厍虬鍓K突然移動的時候，就會發(fā)生地震，由此可知選C。

3.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第二段中Scientists have studied earthquakes and make maps that show the “ earthquakes belts(帶)” In areas in these belts, it’s possible for earthquakes to happen.可知，科學(xué)家們制作了地圖，表示出地震帶，這些地圖可以告訴人們在哪里可能發(fā)生地震，故選C。

4.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文的最后一段中In the future, scientists will be able to tell when and where an earthquake will before they happen可知，在未來，科學(xué)家們將能夠預(yù)測地震什么時候，在哪里發(fā)生，所以我們就不再害怕地震了。故選A。
