Question

2．Some countries have a large number of earthquakes．Japan is one of 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 （颤动）．Houses fall down．Railways are broken，which causes trains to turn over．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（火山），but it 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．Sometimes they break more buildings than the earthquake itself．
A terrible earthquake happened in Assam，India，in 198 6．The land near Shillong suddenly moved 1.5 feet to one side，and then back again．It continued to act like this 20 times a minute．Few buildings could stand what was happening and the great stones flew four feet up into the air．What kind of building stays up best in an earthquake？The Americans carefully studied the results of the earthquake at San Francisco（1906）and believed it best for buildings to be made with concrete（混凝土） walls together by steel frames．Such are the buildings that can't burn or fall easily．
25．Which of the following is NOT true？D
A．Trains'turning over is directly caused by the earthquakes．
B．Some earthquakes have their centers under the sea．
C．It isn't certain that earthquakes happen near volcanoes．
D．Buildings with concrete walls are better against earth quakes．
26．Earthquakes often happen．B
A．near volcanoes            B．Both A and D
C．in Britain                 D．in Japan
27．D make（s） more loss than the earthquake itself．
A．Nothing                           B．Volcanoes
C．Forces inside the earth           D．Terrible waves by the earthquake
28．When an earthquake happens，Ccan be heard．
A．trains                   B．thousands of people
C．a great noise            D．the powerful forces．

Answer 1

分析 本文主要讲述了一些国家有大量的地震．日本是其中之一，也有一些国家很少发生地震，如在英国，在地震中常伴着巨大的噪音，在1986的印度Assam发生了最可怕的地震．

解答 25．D 细节题．根据文章内容，The Americans carefully studied the results of the earthquake at San Francisco（1906）and believed it best for buildings to be made with concrete（混凝土） walls together by steel frames．Such are the buildings that can't burn or fall easily．可知混凝土墙的建筑物抗地震的说法是不正确的．应该是混凝土与钢筋结构的墙能抗地震效果好，结合选项，故选D．
26．B 细节题．根据文章内容，countries have a large number of earthquakes．Japan is one of them，及Some people say that earthquakes often happen near volcanoes（火山）可知日本经常发生地址还有就是靠近火山的地方也一样．故选B．
27．D 细节题．根据文章内容，…waves travel long distances and rush over the land when they reach it，breaking down houses and other buildings．Sometimes they break more buildings than the earthquake itself．可知严重的震波比地震本身要可怕的多．故选D
28．C 细节题．根据文章内容，There is often a great noise during an earthquake．可知地震发生伴随巨大的响声．故选C．
