【题目】 Now, let’s talk about earthquakes on our planet. Some countries have large numbers of earthquakes. Japan is one of them. 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 (震动). Houses fall down. Trains run off the lines. Sometimes, there is a heavy loss of human lives.

Earthquakes often happen near volcanoes, but this is not always 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, also known as seismic waves(地震波), or tsunamis(海啸) can travel long distances and rush over the land when they reach it. They are strong enough to break down houses and other buildings. Very often fires follow the most serious earthquakes. In 1906, the numbers of fires were burning in the city. The water pipes were also shaken and broken, so it was not possible to put the fire out. There was no water. The Tokyo Earthquake of 1923 happened just before noon. People were cooking meals on their fires at that time. When the ground shook, the fires shook, too. Hot materials were thrown on the different parts of the houses, some of which were made of wood. Soon 134 fires were burning in the city.

What kind of building stands up best in an earthquake? A building with concrete walls is perhaps the best. A steel frame will make it even stronger. The frame holds the different parts together and the walls so not easily fall. There is less chance of fire because concrete and steel do not burn. Over the years, scientists studied the results of the earthquake in different parts of the world, and they are convinced that this kind of building is the safest.

1What can we know about earthquake from the first paragraph?

A.Britain has large numbers of earthquake.

B.There is often a great noise during an earthquake.

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。文章是关于地震的,介绍了地震发生的地区,地震波的威力,以及怎样的建筑抗震效果好的的等。

1细节理解题。由第一段There is often a great noise during an earthquake.可知地震期间会有巨大声响。故选B

2细节理解题。由第二段The powerful forces inside the earth break the rocks.The coast is shaken and great waves appear. These waves, also known as seismic waves(地震波), or tsunamis(海啸) can travel long distances and rush over the land when they reach it. They are strong enough to break down houses and other buildings. Very often fires follow the most serious earthquakes.可知地球内部的强大力量能打碎巨石,海岸被摇动,巨浪出现。这些波,也被称为地震波,或海啸可以长途跋涉,当它们到达陆地时就会冲过陆地。它们足够强大,足以摧毁房屋和其他建筑物。火灾往往伴随着最严重的地震。所以一些海底地震是地球内部的力量造成的。故选D

3推理判断题。由最后一段What kind of building stands up best in an earthquake? A building with concrete walls is perhaps the best. A steel frame will make it even stronger.可知在震中什么样的建筑承受力最好?有混凝土墙的也许最好。钢架结构会更坚固。所以混凝土墙和钢架结构的建筑在地震中承受力最好。故选A

4推理判断题。由第一段Now, let’s talk about earthquakes on our planet.可知,现在,我们来讨论一下我们星球上的地震。所以文章是关于地震的,在科学杂志上最可能读到。故选B

【题目】阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

Many couples who already have one healthy, happy child, are facing a dilemma(困境),that is, the issue of whether to have a second child or not. They have hard jobs and limited time and money, but they want to make sure that their only child does not become a lonely child. So, what are the advantages and disadvantages of having a second child? That is what so many couples are very much concerned about and eager to understand.

One popular saying is that one child means a lonely child. That's why many single- child parents plan to have a second child. They feel guilty about their decision to have only one child, because there are no other children in the family for their only child to play with, which may make the child feel lonely at times, especially during vacations.

Another common argument against having just one child is that an only child may be more spoiled than one with brothers or sisters. If one couple have only one child, the child can't learn to share things with others and is less capable of getting along well with other children than one who grows up with brothers or sisters.

However, in many parts of the world, more and more parents are still choosing not to have a second child because they argue that there are advantages for the child as well as the parents. With just one child, they suggest, there is little chance of family arguments concerned with children. Besides, as an only child in the family, the child can receive more quality time and attention. This often leads to increased self-respect and independence, which can lead to the child being more confident.

Unluckily, there is no simple answer to the question of whether or not to have a second child. Every family is different, and what is suitable for one family may not be for another. The important thing, in the end, is to make a decision that both you and your spouse(配偶)feel confident about.
