  People in Mutsuhito, Japan, lived through one hundreds, and sometimes thousands, a day.But they couldn’t get used to it.

  What was it? It was a string of earthquakes that made the small town shake all the time.This went on for more than a year.Sometimes the quakes were very small.Only certain instruments could pick them up.At other times, the quakes damaged houses and land.The people were always afraid.They wished they knew how to stop the ground from shaking.

  People all over the world would like to know when an earthquake is coming.But an earthquake is almost always a surprise.Under the surface of the Earth, huge blocks of rock drift apart or slide against each other.The ground above splits apart or rumbles and shakes.

  Some scientists hope to predict quakes by keeping a close watch on animals.It seems that some animals can sense an earthquake coming.In 1969, animals in a Chinese zoo began to act funny one day.Swans flew out of their pond.A panda sat down, covered its eyes with its paws, and groaned.The animals seemed to know that something was about to happen.And it did.An earthquake struck.What was it that the animals sensed? Scientists are trying to find out.

  Keeping close track of the Earth’s magnetic force in earthquake areas may also help.A few years ago, in Hollister, CA, scientists kept a record of the area’s magnetic pull.For one week, the force grew stronger.Then it weakened suddenly.A day later, an earthquake struck.

  It may become possible to know when and where an earthquake will happen.But it will be much harder to stop one from happening.

  Many scientists think that the Earth’s covering is not smooth.They say the earth’s “skin” is made up of huge puzzle pieces called plates.Land and ocean floors make up these huge plates.Under the Earth’s crust(外壳), or plates, is hot rock.The plates float on top of this rock.Sometimes the rock forces its way through the crust.What happens then? A volcano is born! More often, the rock moves and forces the plates to pull away from each other, causing earthquakes to happen.(Volcanoes and earthquakes often go together.)

  Sometimes, the plates end up on top of each other.When this happens, the land above may look strange.Seen from the air, there seems to be a long scar in the Earth.This is called a fault(断层).The areas along faults have more earthquakes than other parts of the Earth.

  For now, we’ll just have to shake along with the Earth.It goes through millions of small earthquakes every year.With luck, you won’t feel a thing!

C
A white-haired old gentleman steps out of his car, bag in hand and coat over his arm, he has called from the office to say that he is on the way. His wife is preparing supper. He can see the light shining inside his own front door. He looks forward to a fire and hot milk. It is a cold night. A few seconds later he is lying on the icy ground in a pool of his own blood.
  It doesn't happen very often, but it does happen in the capital city of the United States. It is more likely to happen in the near-deserted city center at night. What happened to him could happen to any of us.
  Senator Stennis, who is 71 , got out of his white Buick at 7:40 p.m. outside his home at 3609 Cumberland Street. Two youths said, "Get out! Money, please." He followed the order. He handed over his wallet containing several cards, a gold watch and the only money he had in his pockets—twenty-five cents. The youths also said, "Now we're going to shoot you anyway." Anyway they did. One bullet(子弹) hit him in the leg and struck the bone. The other entered his chest just below the upper pocket of his suit. It narrowly missed his heart.
  Strangely he made it across a ten-meter distance, up eight steps and along twenty more feet of stone path. His wife met him at the door, and saw two men running. The senator told her to call the police and the doctor.
  The senator is a powerful political figure, but it is unlikely that the two young men knew who he was. More likely the reason for the killing was that he had only no more than a quarter of dollar - not enough for two cups of coffee.
49 According to the passage,_______.
  A. such a mugging(行凶抢劫) might have happened to anyone
  B. the mugging happened on a cold evening in a senator's home
  C. the senator was killed because he was an important politician
  D. the mugging might not have happened if the senator was young and strong
50. Having robbed the senator, the two young men _______.
  A. pulled him into a pool    B. shot two bullets into his body
  C. hit out at him hard     D. carried him away
51. The two young men were angry by the fact that _______.
  A. the senator attempted to cheat them
  B. they failed to get the senator's expensive car
  C. the senator didn't die in their hands
  D. the mugging didn't bring them what they had expected
52 Which of the following statements is not true?
  A. A near-deserted city center at night is a dangerous place.
  B. People should always carry some money with them.
  C. Though seriously wounded, the senator managed to get home on his own.
  D. The senator's wife met the two men and recognized them.

Are you ready to do your bit to stop global warming? Do you want to let the world know that you believe it is not doing nearly enough to fight climate change?

On Saturday, March 29, you will have a chance to communicate your concerns—to tell Ottawa and the entire world that you are devoted to doing your part.

You can do it by turning off your lights during Earth Hour, from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. Started last year by the World Wildlife Fund in Sydney, Australia, Earth Hour this year is going international, with 17 cities signed up so far, including Toronto. Others include Chicago, Manila, Tel Aviv, Copenhagen, Melbourne, and Christchurch, New Zealand.

The challenge for us Torontonians will be to show we are as devoted to fighting global warming as Sydneysiders were last year, when more than 2.2 million of them participated and slashed the city's power use by 10 per cent for the planned hour.

Of course, one hour of darkness isn’t going to stop global warming. But the thinking behind Earth Hour is that it gets people personally involved. Besides giving people a chance to register their concerns over climate change, the goal is to get them to start changing their wasteful habits. And we all have them, including some we aren't even aware of.

Did you know, for example, that you are still drawing power if you leave your cellphone charger plugged in after charging your phone? The same is true for other electronic devices that you think you've turned off.

If you want to make a difference, sign up today at http://www.wwf.ca/EarthHour and make a pledge (宣誓) to turn off your lights when Earth Hour arrives on March 29. Persuade your friends, co-workers and your employer or employees to do their part.

But don't wait for this symbolic gesture to raise awareness that we all have to be part of the

  solution. Start today to think about changes that can be made in your home and your workplace that will cut down on waste and greenhouse gas emissions (排放).

63. The passage mainly calls on people of _____ to join in the March 29th activity.

    A. Sydney B. Toronto C. the world D. the 17 cities 

64. The Earth Hour movement mainly aims to get people to _______ to save our earth.

    A. sense the danger B. make a pledge

C. perform their duties  D. show their value   

65. Which is implied in the passage that should not happen in our daily life?

     

                 

66. The best title for the passage is _____.

    A. A Chance to Help Save the Earth B. A Chance to Help Prevent Pollution
