Directions:There are two passages in this part．Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements． For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D． Youshould decide on the best choice．

Questions 56- 60 are based on Passage One:

Passage One

The largest earthquake (magnitude里氏9．5)of the 20th century happened on May 22,1960 0ff the coast of South Central Chile．

It generated(生成) one of the most destructive Pacific-wide tsunami（海啸）． Near the generating area, both the earthquake and the tsunami were very much destructive, particularly in the coastal area from Concepcion to the south end of Isla Chiloe．The largest tsunami damage occurred at Isla Chiloe-the coastal area closest to the epicenter(震中)．Huge tsuna- mi waves measuring as high as 25 meters arrived within l0 to 15 minutes after the earthquake, killing at least two hundred people, sinking all the boats, and flooding half a kilometer inland．

There was large damage and loss of life at Concepcion, Chile's top industrial city．Near the city of Valdivia, the earthquake and following aftershocks generated landslides which killed 18 people． At the port city of Valparaiso, a city of 200,000, many buildings collapsed． A total of 130,000 houses were destroyed-one in every three in the earthquake zone and nearly 2,000,000 people were left homeless．

Total damage losses, including agriculture and industry, were estimated(估计） to be over a half billion dollars． The total number of deaths related with both the tsunami and the earthquake was never found accurately for the region． Estimates of deaths reached between 490 and 57,002 with no distinction(差别) as to how many deaths were caused by the earthquake and how many were caused by the tsunami． However, it is believed that most of the deaths in Chile were caused by the tsunami．

Where did the largest tsunami damage occur? ( )

A． Concepcion

B． Isia Chiloe

How to Do with Earthquake?

Ideally,people would like to know when an earthquake is going to happen and how bad it will
be.In both Japan and China,people have long believed that earthquakes can be forecast. In Japan, scientists have wired the Earth and sea to detect movements.The Chinese have traditionally watched animals and plants for warning signs of earthquakes.For example,the Chinese have noted that before an earthquake,hens' behavior changes一they refuse to enter their cages at night. They have also noticed that snakes come out of the ground to freeze to death and that dogs bark a lot,even normally quiet dogs.Before the Hanshin earthquake in Japan,there were reports of large schools of fish swimming near the surface of the water. Certain birds,like pigeons,also seemed to be especially noisy and were reported to be flying in unusual patterns before the earthquake.
Perhaps most interesting,and most easily measured,is a chemical change in ground water before a quake.Experimental data seem to indicate that the amount of radon(Rn)in the water under the surface of the Earth waxes before an earthquake.
People would also like to be able to prevent the great destruction of property caused by earthquakes.After all,most of the people who die in earthquakes are killed by falling buildings.Therefore,building structures that can withstand the power of earthquakes is a major concern.Steel seems to be the best material,but not if it is welded to form a rigid structure.
Many new structures are built with a new type of steel joint,an I-joint,which appears to be the most durable type of joint. These joints of steel can move without breaking. Also,to prevent property damage,architects now design buildings so that the building's columns and horizontal beams are of equal strength,and vertical support columns are inserted deep into solid soil.In addition,many new houses have relatively light roofs and strong walls.Concrete pillars for highway bridges that previously only had steel rods inside are now enclosed in steel.
Besides working to improve building structures,people in areas where earthquakes are common need to prepare for the possibility of a great earthquake.They should regularly check and reinforce their homes,place heavy objects in low positions,attach cupboards and cabinets to walls,and fasten doors so that they will not open accidentally during an earthquake.

Why are building structures a major concern for people?
A:Because they can make buildings pleasing to people's eyes.
B:Because people are often killed by falling buildings in earthquakes.
C:Because sometimes they are costly.
D:Because people want to cut budget by designing new types of buildings.

答案：B
解析：
文章第一段告诉我们“中国人的传统做法是观察动植物以获取地震的警示信号”。因此选项B是正确的。
文章第一段提到选项A、B、C，只有选项D表述不正确，因为地震前狗会大叫，即使平时安静的狗也一样。
文章第二段说“the amount of radon ( Rn ) in the water under the surface of the Earth waxes before an earthquake"，单词wax的含义是“increase“，因此只有选项A是正确的。
文章第三段说“most of the people who die in earthquakes are killed by falling buildings"，因此人们关心建筑物的结构是否结实，以保证地震中人们的安全，所以只有选项B是正确的。
根据文章最后一段，我们知道选项B、D都不正确，而文章第四段告诉我们选项C应该是build strong walls and light roofs，因此C项也是错误的。最后一段第二句话告诉我们只有选项A的表述是正确的。

第5题：

Here are my neighbors__________home was destroyed by the earthquake．

正确答案：C

第9题：

Hundreds of buildings were wrecked by the earthquake.

A: damaged
B: shaken
C: fallen
D: jumped

答案：A
解析：
句意：成百上千的建筑在这次地震中被破坏了。句中wreck意为“破坏”。A项意为“毁坏”;B项意为“动摇”;C项意为“落下”;D项意为“跳下”。因此只有A项符合题意。

第10题：

Although the survivors of the earthquake were in great anguish,they expressed gratitude to people who saved them.

A:distress
B:annoyance
C:anger
D:depression

答案：A
解析：
本句意思是：虽然地震的幸存者正处于极大的悲痛中，但是仍然对救助他们的人们表达了谢意。句中anguish是名词，意为“悲痛”，例如：The old woman beat her breast and cried in anguish.这个老妇人捶胸顿足伤心地哭着。四个选项中distress意为“痛苦”，如：The newspaper article caused the actor considerable distress.报上的文章给这位演员带来极大的痛苦。annoyance意为“恼怒，烦恼”，如：I felt annoyance at being teased.我恼恨别人取笑我。anger意为“怒气”。depression意为“沮丧”，例如：Her moods oscillated between depression and elation．她的情绪时而抑郁，时而亢奋。只有选项A同句中画线单词含义接近。
