阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

If the crust (外壳) of the earth were not pretty solid (坚固的), it would be shaking about and moving up and down frequently. However, there are places in the rocks of the earth’s crust where it isn’t strongly held together—where faults exist. Along the faults, one rock might push against another with great force. The energy is changed to vibration in the rocks, so they begin to shake and we have an earthquake!

The most famous one in North America was the San Francisco earthquake of 1906. Seven hundred people died and property (财产) damage amounted to about $425,000,000.The greatest destruction came from the fires that followed the quake.

One of the most famous earthquakes in Europe took place in Lisbon, Portugal, in 1755. The city was destroyed and at least thirty thousand people were killed. In 1908, in Calabria and Sicily, a quake killed about seventyfive thousand people. In 1915, in central Italy, hundreds of towns and villages were damaged and thirty thousand people were killed.

Two great earthquakes that caused great damage in Asia took place in Tokyo, Japan, and in Gansu Province in China. The Tokyo quake of 1923 killed more than one hundred thousand people and destroyed the city and the city of Yokohama, too. The Chinese quake in 1920 covered more than three hundred square miles and killed about two hundred thousand people.

【1】The first paragraph mainly tells us ________.

A. where earthquakes happen

D. famous earthquakes in the world

B. there were 75,000 people killed in the San Francisco earthquake

C. the city of Yokohama was not greatly influenced by the Tokyo quake

D. the fires following the San Francisco earthquake caused more damage than the earthquake did

【答案】

【解析】

本文介绍了地震起因及历史上几次大地震。

【1】1.B主旨大意题。通读第一段可知,本段介绍了地震的起因。

【2】2.A词义猜测题。一块岩石有可能用力挤压另一块岩石,地壳的能量发生了改变导致岩石晃动,于是地震发生了。vibration意为晃动,故A项正确。

【3】3.C细节理解题。根据第三段第三句中in Calabria and Sicily, a quake killed about seventy-five thousand people.可知C项正确。

【4】4.D细节判断题。根据第二段最后一句The greatest destruction came from the fires that followed the quake.可知D项正确。

【题目】阅读理解

A

A big bowl of milk can be a great way to start the day. Many snack bars contain nutrients that help our bodies stay strong and healthy. But some of these foods are packed with too many vitamins and minerals. According to a new study by the Environmental Working Group (EWG), this extra fortification may be more harmful than helpful.

Of the tested snack bars, 27 have more than 50% of the recommended amounts of vitamin A, niacin and zinc. Nutrition facts listed on packages are based on recommended daily values for adults, who are physically larger and require more vitamins and minerals. So when kids eat these cereals (麦片) and snack bars, they are getting more nutrients than they need.

Vitamin A, niacin (烟酸) and zinc (锌) are best in fresh and unprocessed foods that are in their natural state. Vitamin A helps you see at night. It occurs naturally in eggs, meat and carrots. Niacin is a vitamin that helps our bodies make energy. It is found in foods like fish, seeds, and peanuts, as well as in whole grains like wheat and brown rice. Zinc helps our bodies fight off infection. It is found in many foods, including wheat-based products, meats, beans and nuts.

Children typically eat more than one serving of cereal or snack bars a day, in addition to taking vitamin supplements. Eating large amounts of these nutrients can be dangerous to kids’ health. Too much vitamin A can cause liver damage, and high levels of zinc can destroy the body’s natural immunity, or power to fight infection.

The EWG authors are calling for the FDA to make changes to its guidelines for nutrient intake and revise its daily values to match kids’ diets.

【1】 What can we infer from the second paragraph ?.

A. most kids are lack of nutrition.

B. kids need less nutrients than adults.

C. the cereals are full of all kinds of nutrients.

D. the snack bars don’t have enough nutrients .

【2】If you want to avoid infection, what food should you eat more?

A. Meat and nuts. B. Fish and rice.

C. Eggs and carrots. D. Beans and fruits.

【3】The fourth paragraph is mainly to tell us that__________.

A. children like eating fast food

B. vitamins can damage immunity

C. too many nutrients affect health

D. children should refuse to eat cereal

【4】What would be the best title for the text?

A. Nutrients and kids’ health.

B. Students’ diet at school.

C. Kids’ three main nutrients.

D. The importance of nutrients.

Sunny 31st, July

It was sunny today and I was in a good mood. Tired of studying or the noise of city life, I come to the ecology park to enjoy scenery and get relaxing in the afternoon.

While I arrived at the park, what came into its sight were the thick green trees. The air was fresh. In addition, I could clearly see a path around the pond. Lying on the grasses decorated with various flowers, I felt with ease because all that I wanted was peace inside.

Therefore, with time going by quickly, the sun was setting in the west. So I had to return back home. I would never forget such romantic experience, which was really beyond description.

Last weekend we went mountain-climbing. Even the heavy rain in the morning could not prevent us go. Setting off very early, we went along an extreme narrow road, all in high spirits. On every side of the road were green fields and some farm house. We could hear the sound of the rain and our footsteps mixed with laughter. At noon we reached top of the mountain. That surprised us most was the beauty of the scenes here. After having a short rest and sharing with the food we had brought, we started going down. It rained even harder. We are wet to the skin, and we still sang and laughed happily.

A young couple bought a big house from two sisters, whom had lived there for 30 years. The house was nice and the couple bought it at low price.

However, winter wasn’t far away at the time. The couple was a little bit worrying about how they would keep the house warm, since it didn’t have any fireplaces. And later, they thought that if the sisters were able to stay warm and comfortably in the house during the winter, so could they. With that in mind, they decided not to make any preparations for the cold weather.

Winter arrived and temperatures soon drops below zero. The large house became freezing cold, with frost(霜)covered the walls. Finally, the husband couldn’t bear with it anymore. She called the sisters to ask them how they managed to keep warm during the winter. “The cold weather never bothered us,” one of the sister told the husband. “We just went on vacation to Thailand every winter.”
