Question

18．Experts know that a disaster is coming but they do not know when it will happen．They do know that it could cause a lot of damage．They think it will be worse than a hurricane．The disaster they are worried about is an earthquake．
There is a break in the earth's crust （外殼）．It is called the San Andreas Fault．The San Andreas Fault is in California．Many earthquakes happen along the San Andreas Fault．In 1989 there was a big earthquake on the fault．The earthquake was called the"Loma Prieta Earthquake"．Many people were hurt or died．Many buildings were ruined．Lots of people lost their homes．Roads and bridges were also damaged．
A large earthquake could happen in Southern California．Many small earthquakes have happened in the last year．Earthquake experts think that a large earthquake will happen there soon．They think a big earthquake will happen in the next few years．
The S an Andreas Fault has many power lines stretched across it．There are water channels close to the earthquake fault．A large earthquake in Southern California would destroy energy and water supplies （供應(yīng)）．Lots of people would be without power or water for weeks．Buildings that have not been built strong enough would be destroyed．Not all hospitals would be able to help people who were injured．Many people would die or be homeless．
People need to be prepared．They need to know what to do if an earthquake happens．Everyone in California should have a survival kit at home．The emergency kit （應(yīng)急箱） would include food and water．There should be medication and first aid supplies in the kit．A good survival kit will also have a portable radio，flashlights and spare batteries．All of the supplies in the kit should last at least 3 days．

B．A large earthquake in Southern California would destroy food supplies．
C．A break in the earth's crust in California is called the San Andreas Fault．
D．Lots of people would be without power or water for days after the earthquake．
40．The purpose of this passage is to tell people thatD．

Answer 1

分析 試題分析：
專家們知道一個大的災(zāi)難就要來臨但是他們不知道會在什么時候發(fā)生．
他們真的知道這可能造成很大的損壞．他們擔(dān)心的是一次地震．
本文介紹的是加利福尼亞的圣安地列斯斷層及其引發(fā)的地震．地震后許多人幾天將沒有電力和水，許多人和動物將會失去生存的領(lǐng)地．
所以在地震來臨之前，人們必須做好準(zhǔn)備，需要知道如果地震了應(yīng)該做些什么．

解答 37．A 判斷理解題．題意：我可能在哪兒找到這篇文章？A．a(chǎn) science book，科學(xué)書；B．a(chǎn) sports newspaper體育報(bào)紙；C．a(chǎn) travelling magazine旅游雜志；D．a(chǎn) detective storybook 偵探故事書．本文講的是有關(guān)地震的知識，在科學(xué)類書籍上可以找到．故選A．
38．D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．題意：下面哪一個不是洛馬普列塔地震的結(jié)果？A．Many buildings were ruined．許多樓房被摧毀；B．Roads and bridges were damaged．公路橋梁被損壞；C．Many people were hurt or died．許多人受傷死亡；D．Lots of animals lost their living areas．許多動物失去了生存的領(lǐng)地．文中沒有提到動物失去生存的領(lǐng)地，故選D．
39．C 理解判斷題．題意：根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容下面哪一個是對的？A．All of the supplies in the emergency kit will last at most 3 days．在緊急情況發(fā)生時所有的供給將會維持三天．文中提醒人們要對突發(fā)事件做三天的供給準(zhǔn)備．錯；B．A large earthquake in Southern California would destroy food supplies．加利福尼亞南的大地震將會摧毀食物供應(yīng)，短文說將會摧毀電力及水的供應(yīng)，錯； C．A break in the earth's crust in California is called the San Andreas Fault．加利福尼亞的地殼中的一個斷裂稱為圣安地列斯斷層，對； D．Lots of people would be without power or water for days after the earthquake．地震后許多人幾天將沒有電力和水．文中說幾星期無能量和水．錯．故選C．
40．D，推理判斷題，文中提到"People need to be prepared．They need to know what to do if an earthquake happens"人們必須做好準(zhǔn)備，需要知道如果地震了應(yīng)該做些什么，而前面提到的地震形成的原因及危害也是告訴人們隨時做好準(zhǔn)備應(yīng)對災(zāi)難，由此確定答案為D．

點(diǎn)評 對于閱讀表達(dá)題，一定要記得首先通讀全文，了解文章大意，然后再根據(jù)文章關(guān)鍵詞，關(guān)鍵句，掌握細(xì)節(jié)問題，并進(jìn)行推理判斷，再去回答具體的問題．
