分析 文章大意:这是一篇说明文,主要介绍了地震的强度和现象,作者列举了十二个由震源中心到周围有震感区域的地震强度及现象.包括一些人的不同感觉,建筑物的倒塌,桥梁和道路的损坏,管道破裂的程度等.
解答 41.答案:A.细节理解题.根据图片提示可知,地震中心不到北纬40度,超过西经80度,应该是北纬36度,西经90度,因此答案是A.
42.答案:C.细节理解题.根据IV,Felt indoors by many people,outdoors by a few; some awaked.许多在室内的人感觉到了,室外很少,一些人醒了.可知,地震强度IV的影响是许多呆在室内的人感觉到了.选C.
43.答案:C.细节理解题.根据Ⅴ.Felt by nearly everyone; many awaked; dishes and windows break; plaster (灰泥) cracks (开裂).几乎每个人都觉得;许多人醒;餐具和窗户打破;水泥开裂.可知,图片上地震强度V的城市是Pittsburgh.答案是C.
44.答案:C.细节理解题.根据Ⅲ.Felt noticeably indoors,especially on upper floors of buildings.室内感觉明显,尤其是建筑物的上层.可知,图片中地震强度Ⅲ对应的城市是Boston,所以最能描述波士顿的地震烈度的是"室内感觉明显,尤其是建筑物的上层",选C.
45.答案:D.细节理解题.根据Ⅵ.Felt by everyone; many frightened and run outdoors; heavy furniture such as tables and shelves moves.每个人都感到了;许多人害怕,在户外奔跑;沉重的家具,如桌子和书架移动了.可知,地震强度Ⅵ,对应的城市是Cincinnati.选D.
