根据以下内容回答题：Earthquakes may rightly be ranked as one of the most destructive forces

known to man：since reeords began to be written down，it has been estimated that earthquake-related fatalities（死亡）have numbered in the millions，and that earthquake-related destruction has been be-vond calculation．The greater part of such damage and loss of life has been due to falling down of buildings and the effects of rockslides，floods，fire，disease，gigantic sea waves，and other phenomena（现象）resulting from earthquakes，rather than from the quakes themselves． The great majority of all earthquakes occur Off two specific areas，along the coasts of the Pacific Ocean and from the East Indies to the Atlas Mountains．But they may，however，happen anywhere at any time． This element of the unknown has for centuries added greatly to the fear and horror sur-rounding earthquakes，but in recent times there have been indications that earthquake predic-tion may be possible．By analyzing changes in animal behavior，patterns of movements in the earth’S surface．and other unusual phenomena，scientists have shown increasing Success in pre-dicting when and where earthquakes will strike．As a result，a worldwide earthquake-warning network is already in operation and has helped to prepare for the vast destruction that mightotherwise have been totally unexpected． It is．doubtful，that man will ever be able to control earthquakes and do away with the destructiveness altogether。but as how．and why earthquakes happen become better understood，man will become more and more able to deal with their possible destruction before it occurs．

Most destruction caused by earthquakes is the results of the following EXCEPT__________ ．

A.the collapsing of buildings and the fire it causes’

B.the floods and huge sea waves resulting from earthquakes．

C.the disease that often follows earthquakes

根据以下内容回答题：Last December"s earthquakes in the Iranian city of Bam took a huge deat

h toll—roughly 40，000 people——largely because of the collapse of thousands of mud—brick buildings．If a group of researchers in India are successful，the next earthquake might not be as destructive．British and Indian engineers are developing earthquake—proof housing using a cheap，universal material：bamboo． Thev designed a model house built around waterproof bamboo-sheet roofing and bamboo-reinforced concrete walls．To test the structure，the engineers，sponsored by the U．K．Depart-ment of qnternational Development，took it to the Earthquake Engineering and Vibration Re-search Centre in Bangalore，which has a state．of-the-art earthquake simulator（模拟装置）．The researchers shook the house with five successive 30-second pulses，being equal to 7．8 on the Richter（里氏）scale．The simulation was more than 10 times as violent as the Bam earth-quake．yet the house emerged undamaged．“We didn’t even crack the paint，”says engineer Paul Follett．of Britain’s Timber Research and Development Association． By some estimates，more than a binion people already live in bamboo structures．The innovation lies in developing ways to exploit bamboo’S spring．Easily pre-built，fire resistant，and far lighter than steel，bamboo．based structures could be assembled in three weeks and last 50 vears．At five dollars a square foot，they would last roughly half as much as brick-and-block constructions．Follett says the project will follow an“open source”model：“Whatever is developed is freely available for the common good．”

Thousands of people died in the Bam earthquake mainly because__________ ．

A.the earthquake occurred in the cold December

B.many mud．brick houses collapsed

C.the earthquake reached 7．8 0n the Richter scale

D.bamboo houses hadn’t been built yet

根据以下内容回答题：

A volcanic eruption in Iceland has sent ash across northern Europe．Airlines have stopped or changed the flights across the Atlantic Ocean，leaving hundreds of passengers stuck in air-ports．

Grimsvoto is oDe of the largest and most active volcanoes in Europe．What makes Grimsvoto different is that it lies under a huge glacier(冰川)of ice up to 12 meters thick．The hot volcano heats up the ice above it，which then forms a layer of water between the glacier and the volcano．This layer of water puts pressure on the volcano，keeping it stable．As the water flows out from under the glacier，the pressure lifts．The lava(岩浆)from the volcano then comes up to the surface．This is exactly what happened today．

Now．airlines have to make changes to their flights SO as not to fly through the clouds of volcanic as．h．According to．KLM，one of Europe’s biggest airlines，airplanes cannot go under the cloud or over it．Going through the cloud can result in ash getting stuck in the airplane’s engines，causing damage to the plane．

The eruption has also caused problems for animals in Iceland．The volcano left ash and sharp，glass-like rocks all over the countryside．Farmers are keeping their animals inside to stop them from eating ash—covered grass or the sharp objects．

What makes Grimsvoto different from other volcanoes？查看材料

A.It is below-ice．

B.It lies under the sea．

C.It is the largest volcano．

D.Its lava affects the airlines．

根据以下内容回答题：Each nation has its own peculiar character which distinguishes it from

根据以下内容回答题：

Each nation has its own peculiar character which distinguishes it from others．But the peo-pies of the world have more points in common than points in which they differ．One type of per-son that is common in evcry country is the one who always tries to do as littl．e as possible and to get as much as possible in return．His opposite，the man who is in the habit of doing more than is strictly necessary and who is ready to accept what is offered in return，is rare everywhere．

Both these tyDes are usually unconscious of their character．The man who avoids effort is always talking about his“rights”：he appears to think that society owes him a pleasant，easy life．The man who tries to do as little as he Call is always full of excuses：if he has neglected to do something，it was because he had a headache，or the weather was too hot——or too cold——or because he was prevented by bad luck．At first，other people，such as his friends and his em-ployer，generously accept his stories；but soon they realize what kind of person he is．In the long run he deceives only himself．When his friends become cool towards him and he fails to make progress in his job，he is surprised and hurt．He blames everyone and everything except himseIf．He feels that society is failing in its duties towards him，and that he is being unjustly treated．

The central idea of Paragraph l is that__________ . 查看材料

A.each nation is peculiar enough to enable us to distinguish it from others

B.the peoples of the world are as alike as they are different

C.the peoples of the world have more similarities than differences

D.those who do．more than is strictly necessary are common in every country
