The goal of earthquake prediction is to give early enough warning. The U.S. Geological Survey conducts and supports research on the likelihood of future earthquakes. Scientists estimate earthquake probabilities in two ways: by studying the history of large earthquakes in a special area and the rate at which strain(拉力)accumulates(積累)in the rock.

Scientists study the past frequency of large earthquakes in order to determine the future likelihood of similar large shocks. For example scientists researched the large earthquakes in the San Francisco Bay region during the 75 years between 1836 and 1911. For the next 68 years, no earthquakes of magnitude (震級) 6 or large occurred in the region. Beginning with a magnitude 6 shock in 1979, the earthquakes in the region increased dramatically; between 1979 and 1989, there were four magnitude 6 or greater earthquakes, including a magnitude 7.1 earthquake. So scientists estimated that the probability of a magnitude 6.8 or larger earthquake occurring during the next 30 years in the region is about 67 percent.

Another way to predict earthquakes is to study how fast strain accumulates. When plate movements build the strain in rocks to a critical level, like pulling a rubber band too tight, the rocks will suddenly break and slip to a new position. Scientists measure how much strain accumulates along a fault (斷層) each year, how much time has passed since the last earthquake, and how much strain was released in the last earthquake. This information is used to calculate the time required for the accumulating strain to build to the level that results in an earthquake. This simple model is so complicated that such detailed information about faults is rare. In the United States, only the San Andreas Fault System has adequate records for using this prediction method.

Scientific understanding of earthquakes is of vital importance to the Nation. As the population increases, expanding urban development and construction encroach (侵蝕) upon areas susceptible(易受影響的) to earthquakes. With a greater understanding of the causes and effects of earthquakes, we may be able to reduce damage and loss of life from this destruction.

1.What does the passage mainly talk about?

A.What an earthquake is like.

B.How to predict earthquakes.

C.Where earthquakes often happen.

D.When a fault is formed.

2.That scientists study the history of large earthquakes in certain areas is to ultimately_________.

A.do research on the past frequency of large earthquakes

B.estimate the magnitude of similar earthquakes

C.forecast the possibilities of similar earthquakes

D.judge the specific location of future earthquakes

3.Which is TRUE according to the passage?

A.There were four magnitude 6 earthquakes in the San Francisco Bay region between1979 and1989.

B.The accumulating strain of the fault to a certain level results in the earthquake.

C.About 68 years after 1911, no earthquakes occurred in the San Francisco Bay region.

D.The fast increasing population on the earth is the main cause of the earthquake.

4.What is the critical factor of forming a fault?

A.The material of rocks.

B.The existing time span of the rocks.

C.The plate movements around the rocks.

D.The amount of strain released in the last earthquake.

5.According to the passage, we can know that the San Andreas Fault System____.

A.has a greater understanding of the causes and effects of earthquakes

B.stores much more information about the history of large earthquakes

C.offers the potential for doing research on the faults where strain accumulates

D.illustrates specifically how rocks along a fault are formed

It’s great fun to explore(探索) new places—it feels like an adventure,even when you know you’re not the first to have been there.But make sure not to get lost or waste time going round in circles.

●Do the map reading if you’re being driven somewhere.It’ll be easier if you keep turning the map so it follows the direction you’re traveling in.Keep looking ahead so that you can give the driver lots of warning before having to make a turn,or you’ll have to move to the back seat.

●Get a group of friends together and go exploring.You’ll need a good map,a compass(指南針),a raincoat,a cell phone to call for help in case you get lost,and a bit of spare cash for emergencies(應(yīng)急現(xiàn)金).Tell someone where you’re going before you set out and let them know what time you expect to be back.The test is in not getting lost,not in seeing how fast you can go,so always stick together,waiting for slower friends to catch up.

●See if your school or a club organizes orienteering activities,in which you need a map and a compass to find your way.This can be done as a sport,with teams trying to find the way from A to B(and B to C,etc.) in the fastest time,or simply as a spare-time activity.Either way,it’s not only good fun,but a great way to keep fit.

Sitting beside the driver,you should ______.

A.direct the driver when necessary

B.look ahead to see where there’s a turn

C.move to the back seat if feeling uncomfortable

D.keep looking at the map to find a place to go to

Why do you need to tell someone your exploration plan before setting out?

A.To get information when in danger.

B.To be saved in case of an accident.

C.To share the fun with him/her in exploration.

D.To tell him/her what’s going on with the group members.

Orienteering activities can ______.

A.make people work fast

B.help people stay healthy

C.help people organize other activities

D.make people get prepared for sports

The text mainly talks about ______.

A.the fun of exploration

B.what to bring for exploration

C.the way to use a map in exploration

D.how to prevent getting lost in exploration

A few weeks after my first wife, Georgia, was called to heaven, I was cooking dinner for my son and myself. For a   16 , I had decided on frozen peas. As I was cutting open the bag, it   17  from my hand and crashed to the floor. The peas, like marbles,   18  everywhere. I tried to use a broom,   19  with each swipe they just rolled across the kitchen.

For the next week, every time I was in the   20 , I found a pea---in a corner, or behind a table leg. They kept   21 . Eight months later I pulled out the refrigerator to clean behind it, and   22  12 frozen peas hidden underneath.

At the time I found those few remaining   23 , I was in a new relationship with a wonderful   24  I’d met in a support group. After we married, I was reminded 25  those peas under the refrigerator, and realized that my   26  had been like that bag of frozen peas. It had shattered(破碎. My wife had died; I was in a new city with a busy job, and with a son having trouble   27  his new surroundings and the  28  of his mother. I was a bag of spilled frozen peas; my life had come apart and scattered.

When life gets you   29 , when everything you know comes apart, and when you think you’ll never  30 , remember that it’s just a bag of scattered frozen peas. The peas can be  31 , and life will move on. You’ll find all the peas   32 , including the ones that are hardest to find. And when you’ve got them   33  you’ll start to feel whole again.

The life you know can break apart at any time. But you’ll have to   34 , and how fast you collect your peas depends on you. Will you keep scattering them around with a broom,  35  will you pick them up one by one and put your life back together?
