The big earthquake is still on. _____ is badly needed in the mountain villages.
A

Much clothing

B

Lots of suits

C

A good many cloth

D

A lot of clothes


参考解析

解析:
句意:地震仍在发生。山区急需大量衣物。clothing为不可数名词,表示“衣服”,much修饰不可使名词,因此选A项。a good many不修饰不可数名词cloth,故C项排除。谓语动词is是单数,B和D错误。

Text 4The U.S. government has recently helped people learn more about the dangers of earthquakes by publishing a map. This map shows the chances of an earthquake in each part of the country. The areas of the map where government is spending a great deal of money and is working hard to help discover the answer to these two questions:1. Can we predict earthquakes?2. Can we control earthquakes?To answer the first question, scientists are looking very closely at the most active fault systems in the country, such as the San Andreas fault in California. A fault is a break between two sections of the earth's surface. These breaks between sections are the places where earthquakes occur.Scientists look at the faults for changes which might show that an earthquake was about to occur. But it will probably be many years before we can predict earthquakes accurately and the control of earthquakes is even farther away.Nevertheless, there have been some interesting developments in the field of controlling earthquakes. The most interesting development concerns the Rocky Mountain Arsenal earthquakes. Here water was pat into a layer of rocks 4,000 metres below the surface of the ground. Shortly after this injection of water, there was a small number of earthquakes. Scientists have decided that the water which was injected into the rocks worked like oil on each other. When the water" oiled" the fault, the fault became slippery and the energy of an earthquake was released.Scientists are still experimenting at the site of these earthquakes. They have realized that there is a connection between the injection of the water and the earthquake activity. They have suggested that it might be possible to use this knowledge to prevent very big, destructive earthquakes, that is, scientists Could inject some kind of fluid like water into faults and change one big earthquake into a number of small, harmless earthquakes.36. Earthquake belts are ______.A) maps that show where earthquakes are likely to occurB) zones with a high probability of earthquakesC) breaks between two sections of the earth's surfaceD) the two layers of earth along a fault

What can be said about the experiments at Rocky Mountain Arsenal?A) They have no practical value in earthquake prevention.B) They may have practical value in earthquake prevention.C) They are certain to have practical value in earthquake prevention.D) The article does not say anything about their practical value in earthquake prevention.

What is the most appropriate title for the passage?A) Dangers of Earthquakes.B) Earthquake Belts and Prediction.C) Earthquake Prediction and Control.D) Earthquake Engineering in California.

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-dict 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 62 percent.New buildings in San Francisco are quite safe in case of future quakes.Still,more than 84 percent of thecity's buildings are old and weak.Analyses suggest that another massive earthquake would cause extensive damage.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 Big One will hit.It's just a mat- ter of when.Scientist will be able to predict the exact time of an earthquake soon.A:RightB:WrongC:Not mentioned

共用题干Earthquake Insurance1.Earthquake insurance is a form of homeowners' insurance which deals with damage caused by earthquakes.In regions where earthquakes are especially common,homeowners may be required to carry earthquake insurance,so that in the event of an earthquake,people rely less on government disaster funds and more on their own insurance policies.As a general rule,earthquake insurance is not a part of standard insurance policies,and it must be purchased separately.2.Earthquakes can cause a variety of damage to a home,ranging from complete destruction to damage which causes the building to become structurally unsound.Indirect damage caused by neigh-boring collapses of structures and freeways can also occur,as can more bizarre forms of earthquake damage,like winding up with a car in the living room or a sinkhole in the back yard.Fires and flooding are also common problems in the wake of earthquakes.3.When homeowners purchase earthquake insurance,they may be protected against both direct damage,such as a structural collapse after an earthquake,and indirect damage,like a fire caused by broken gas lines.More commonly,the insurance only covers structural damage caused directly by the earthquake.The insurance may pay for a complete replacement of the structure,or a remodel, depending on the type of insurance and the nature of the damage.Some policies also cover damaged property like cars,and they may provide living allowances so that the residents of the home can temporarily relocate for the duration of the repairs.4.This type of homeowners' insurance is prone to adverse selection,in which only people in high risk areas purchase the insurance.The problem with adverse selection for insurance companies is that it decreases the pool of customers,making potential payouts very expensive.For this reason, earthquake insurance often has a high deductible,and it can he very expensive.5.Recognizing the need for earthquake insurance,some governments have provided subsidies for earthquake insurance,to reduce the stress on insurance companies.Insurance companies also adjust their risk pools carefully,and there may be stringent requirements for a homeowner to purchase earthquake insurance.For example,a home may need to be retrofitted for earthquake safety, reducing the amount of damage which will be incurred in a quake.For low-income home owners, this can be very difficult,as it drives the cost of earthquake insurance out of reach,which can in turn make it difficult to get home loans,as many banks in earthquake-prone areas insist on earth-quake insurance as a condition for a loan.Paragraph 3______A:What's the Main Problem of Earthquake Insurance?B:What Damages Can an Earthquake Cause?C:How to Buy an Earthquake Insurance?D:What Is an Earthquake Insurance?E:Where Does Earthquake Happen Frequently? F: What Does an Earthquake Insurance Contain?

共用题干EarthquakeHow does an earthquake start?What makes an earthquake happen? The rock of the earth's crust(地壳)may have a "fault",a kind of break in the surface.The blocks which make up the earth move,and sometimes this may cause the sides of the fault to move up and down or lengthways(纵向地)against each other. When one piece of rock starts to rub on another with great force,a lot of energy is used. This energy is changed into vibrations(振动)and it is these vibrations that we feel as an earthquake.The vibrations can travel thousands of kilometers and so an earthquake in Turkey may be felt in Greece.What to do during an earthquake?At schoolAs soon as the earthquake starts,students should get under the desks immediately and wait until the teacher tells them it is safe to come out.The teacher should,at the same time, go immediately to the teacher's desk, get underneath(在……下面)it and stay there till the danger is over. Students must not argue with the teacher or question instructions.As soon as the tremors(震动)stop, all students should walk towards the exit and go straight to the school playground or any open space such as a square or a park.They must wait there until the teacher tells them it is safe to go.At homeIf you are at home when the earthquake occurs,get immediately under the table in the living room or kitchen.Choose the biggest and strongest table you can find.You must not go anywhere near the window and don't go out onto the balcony(阳台).Once the tremors have stopped,you can come out from under the table but you must leave the building straight away.You should walk down the stairs and should not use the lift一there may be a power cut as a result of the earthquake and you could find yourself trapped inside the lift for hours.In the streetIf you are in the street when the earthquake takes place,do not stand near buildings, fences or walls一move away as quickly as possible and try to find a large open space to wait in.Standing under trees could also be dangerous.If you are at home when an earthquake occurs,stand near a big table.A:Right B:Wrong C:Not mentioned
