资料：Asked to name their favorite city, many Americans would select San Francisco which began as a small Spanish outpost located on a magnificent bay. The town was little more than a village serving ranchers when the United States took possession of it in 1846 during the war with Mexico. San Francisco sprang into a city overnight because of the nearby discovery of gold in 1848.A great rush to California took place. Wagon trains plodded their dangerous way across 2000 miles of prairie and mountains, while hundreds of sailing vessels made the equally hazardous trip around the Horn. The vessels disgorged thousands of passengers -- then the crews deserted their ship and hundreds of vessels were left to rot in the bay. Within two years, California had enough population to become a state and San Francisco was for many years the hub of that newly-arrived population. The city's present popularity is due to an excellent climate, an easy style of living ,good food, and numerous tourist attractions. The city is famous for its cable cars which "clang and bang" up the steep hills, and for its excellent seafood stalls along the wharf. Most visitors arriving from nations in the Pacific Basin spend several days getting to know the town.San Francisco today is a thriving city because of ___.A.heavy industry B.governmental headquarters C.gold mining D.trade and tourism

共用题干 A Great Quake Coming?Everyone who lives in San Francisco knows that earthquakes are common in the Bay Area一and they can be devastating. In 1906,for example,a major quake destroyed about 28,000 buildings and killed hundreds,perhaps thousands of people.Residents now wonder when the next"Big One"will strike.It's bound to happen someday. At least seven active fault（断层）lines run through the San Francisco area. Faults are places where pieces of Earth'S crust（地壳）slide past each other.When these pieces slip,the ground shakes.To prepare for that day,scientists are using new techniques to reanalyze the 1906 earthquake and pre- diet how bad the damage might be when the next one happens.One new finding about the 1906 earthquake is that the San Andreas fault split apart faster than scientists had assumed at the time. During small earthquakes,faults rupture（断裂）at about 2.7 kilometers per second. During bigger quakes,however.ruptures can happen at rates faster than 3.5 kilometers per second.At such high speeds,massive amounts of pressure build up,generating underground waves that can cause more damage than the quake itself. Lucky for San Francisco , these pressure pulses（脉冲）traveled away from the city during the 1906 event.As bad as the damage was,it could have been far worse.Looking ahead,scientists are trying to predict when the next major quake will occur. Records show that earthquakes were common before 1906.Since then,the area has been relatively quiet.Patterns in the data, however,suggest that the probability of a major earthquake striking the Bay Area before 2032 is at least 62percent.New buildings in San Francisco are quite safe in case of future quakes.Still,more than S4 percent of the city’s buildings are old and weak.Analyses suggest that another massive earthquake would cause extensivedamage.People who live there today tend to feel safe because San Francisco has remained pretty quiet for a while.According to the new research,however,it's not a matter of"if" the Rig One will hit.It',just a mat-ter of when.The San Francisco area is located above several active fault lines.A:RightB:WrongC:Not mentioned
