Text 3Everyone has heard of the San Andreas fault, which constantly threatens California and the West Coast with earth- quakes. But how many people know about the equally serious New Madrid fault in Missouri.'?Between December of 1811 and February of 1812, three major earthquakes occurred, all centered around the town of New Madrid, Missouri, on the Mississippi River. Property damage was severe.Buildings in the area were almost dest oyed. Whole forests fell at once, and huge cracks opened in the ground, allowing smell of sulfur to filter upward.The Mississippi River itself completely changed character, developing sudden rapids and whirlpools. Several times it changed its course, and once, according to some observers, it actually appeared to run backwards. Few people were killed in the New Madrid earthquakes, probably simply because few people lived in the area in 1811; but the severity of the earth- quakes are shown by the fact that the shock waves rang bells in church towers in Charleston, South Carolina, on the coast. Buildings shook in New York City, and clocks were stopped in Washington D.C. Scientists now know that America's two major faults are essentially different. The San Andreas is a horizontal boundary between two major land masses that are slowly moving in opposite directions. California earthquakes result when the movement of these two masses suddenly lurches forward.The New Madrid fault, on the other hand, is a vertical fault; at some point, possibly hundreds of millions of years ago, rock was pushed up toward the surface, probably by volcanoes under the surface. Suddenly, the volcanoes cooled and the rock collapsed, leaving huge cracks. Even now', the rock continues to settle downwards, and sudden sinking motions trigger earthquakes in the region. The fault itself, a large crack in this layer of rock, with dozens of other cracks that split off from it, extends from northeast Arkansas through Missouri and into southern Illinois.Scientists who have studied the New Madrid fault say there have been numerous smaller quakes in the area since 1811; these smaller quakes indicate that larger ones are probably coming, but rite scientists say they have no method of predicting when a large earthquake will occur.31. This passage is mainly about ______.A) the New Madrid fault in MissouriB) the San Andreas and the New Madrid faultsC) the causes of faultsD) current scientific knowledge about faults
What are three benefits of implementing vlans?() A.A more efficient use of bandwidth can be achieved allowing many physical groups to use the same network infrastructureB.Broadcast storms can be mitigated by decreasing the number of broadcast domains,thus increasing their size.C.A higher level of network security can be reached by separating sensitive data traffic from other network traffic.D.Port-based vlans increase switch-port use efficient,thanks to 802.1Q trunksE.A more efficient use of bandwidth can be achieved allowing many logical networks to use the same network infrastructure.F.Broadcast storms can be mitigated by increasing the number of broadcast domains,thus reducing their size.G. VLANs make it easier for IT staff to configure new logical groups,because the vlans all belong to the same broadcast domain.

That may sound scary,but people don't feel many of them because they happen in remote and unpopulated regions.Many quakes happen under the ocean,and others have a very small magnitude.Scientists know about small,remote quakes only because of very sensitive electronic devices called seis- mometers（地震仪）.These devices detect and measure the size of ground vibrations（震颤）produced by earthquakes.Altogether,USGS researchers use seismometers to identify and locate about 20,000 earthquakes each year.Although earthquakes can happen anywhere in the world,really big quakes occur only in certain areas.The largest ones register a magnitude 8 or higher and happen,on average,only once each year. Such big ones typically occur along the edges of Earth ' s tectonic plates（构造板块）.Tectonic plates are huge pieces of Earth ' s crust（外壳）,sometimes many kilometers thick. Often, edges of these plates temporarily lock together. When plates push and scrape（擦）past each other earthquakes occur. On average,tectonic plates move very slowly一about the same speed as your fingernails grow.But sometimes earthquakes rumble（轰轰作响）through portions of the landscape far from a plate ' s edges.Although less expected,these"mid-plate"small earthquakes can do substantial damage.Some of the biggest known examples hit the eastern half of the United States two centuries ago.Today,scientists are still puzzling over why the quakes occurred and when similar ones might occur.The earthquake is the most unpredictable natural disaster.A:RightB:WrongC:Not mentioned
