Question

9．Some countries have a large number of earthquakes，Japan is one of  the them，while others do not have many，for example，there are few earthquakes in Britain．There is often a great noise during an earthquake．The ground-vibrates．Houses fall down．Railways are broken，which causes trains to run off．Sometimes thousands of people are killed in different ways．About 60，000 were killed in 1783 in the south of Italy．Some people say that earthquakes often happen near Volcanoes，but this is not true．The centers of some earthquakes are under the sea．  The bottom of the sea Suddenly moves．The powerful forces inside the earth break the rocks．The coast is shaken and great waves appear．These waves travel long distances and rush over the land when they reach it，breaking down houses and other buildings，even more than the earthquake itself．What kind of building stays up best in an earthquake？The Americans carefully studied the results of the earthquake in San Francisco （1906）and believed it best for buildings to be made with concrete walls held together by steel frames．Such are the buildings that can't burn or fall easily．

解答 6-10 CBDBD
6．C．细节理解题．根据"These waves travel long distances and rush over the land when they reach it，breaking down houses and other buildings，even more than the earthquake itself．"可知地震引起的大浪比地震本身造成的伤害更大．故选C．
7．B．词义猜测题．A．Damage   损害；B．Shake震动；  C．Break 打破；D．Fall 落下；根据"There is often a great noise during an earthquake．The ground-vibrates．Houses fall down．Railways are broken，which causes trains to run off．"可知此处"vibrate''意为震动．故选B．
8．D．推理判断题．根据"The Americans carefully studied the results of the earthquake in San Francisco （1906）and believed it best for buildings to be made with concrete walls held together by steel frames．"可知在1906年San Francisco发生了地震．故选D．
9．B．细节理解题．根据"The Americans carefully studied the results of the earthquake in San Francisco （1906）and believed it best for buildings to be made with concrete walls held together by steel frames．"可知用钢架连接在一起的混凝土的建筑在地震中能保持的最好．故选B．
10．D．主旨大意题．根据"The centers of some earthquakes are under the sea．"可知文章主要讲述了地震的中心．故选D．
