2.It is a terrible illustration of man &39; s weakness to nature ,and the tsunami(海 啸) that struck the Japanese coast in March, 2011 has illustrated the difficulty of fighting against natural disasters, even for a prosperous nation.Totally preventing tsunami-damage is impossible. But there is much that can be done to minimize damage and loss of life. Measures that can be taken include designing solid buildings, and developing early-waming systems, public education programs and evacuation(疏散) strategies. Moreover, the approach of a tsunami is possibly picked up by the sensors of complicated international waming systems. Countries can use radio and television broadcasts as well as loudspeaker networks to warn the public.But an early waming system depends on how far the tsunami strikes, if it&39; s close by, the warning system is not going to be very effective. When people are faced with an unstoppable force like a tsunami the massive waves created by events like underwater earthquakes, the best course of action for them is to get inland and to the higher ground as quickly as possible.51.

    Study Helps Predict Big Mediterranean Quake

    1.Scientists have found evidence that an overlooked fault in the eastern Mediterranean is likely to produce an earthquake and tsunami every 800 years as powerful as the one that destroyed Alexandria in AD 365.
    2.Using radiocarbon dating techniques,simulations and computer models,the researchers recreated the ancient disaster in order to identify the responsible fault."We are saying there is probably a repeat time of 800 years for this kind of earthquake,"said Ms Beth Shaw,an earthquake scientist at the University of Cambridge,who led the study. Scientists study past earthquakes in order to deter-mine the future possibility of similar large shocks.
    3.Identifying the fault for the AD 365 earthquake and tsunami is important for the tens of millions of people in the region,Ms.Shaw said.The fault close to the southwest coast of Crete last produced a big enough quake to generate a tsunami about 1300,which means the next powerful one could come in the next 100 years,she added in a telephone interview.
    4.Ms.Shaw and her colleagues calculate the likely intervals by measuring the motion of either side of the fault to find how often such large earthquakes would have to occur to account for that level of motion,she said.Their computer model suggested an 8 magnitude quake on the fault would pro-duce a tsunami that floods the coastal regions of Alexandria and North Africa,the southern coast of Greece and Sicily all the way up the Adriati to Dubrovnik.This would be similar to the ancient quake in AD 365 that caused widespread destruction in much of Greece and unleashed a tsunami that flooded Alexandria and the Nile Delta likely killing tens of thousands of people,she said.

    Questions 56- 60 are based on Passage One:

    Passage One

    The largest earthquake (magnitude里氏9.5)of the 20th century happened on May 22,1960 0ff the coast of South Central Chile.

    It generated(生成) one of the most destructive Pacific-wide tsunami(海啸). Near the generating area, both the earthquake and the tsunami were very much destructive, particularly in the coastal area from Concepcion to the south end of Isla Chiloe.The largest tsunami damage occurred at Isla Chiloe-the coastal area closest to the epicenter(震中).Huge tsuna- mi waves measuring as high as 25 meters arrived within l0 to 15 minutes after the earthquake, killing at least two hundred people, sinking all the boats, and flooding half a kilometer inland.

    There was large damage and loss of life at Concepcion, Chile's top industrial city.Near the city of Valdivia, the earthquake and following aftershocks generated landslides which killed 18 people. At the port city of Valparaiso, a city of 200,000, many buildings collapsed. A total of 130,000 houses were destroyed-one in every three in the earthquake zone and nearly 2,000,000 people were left homeless.

    Total damage losses, including agriculture and industry, were estimated(估计) to be over a half billion dollars. The total number of deaths related with both the tsunami and the earthquake was never found accurately for the region. Estimates of deaths reached between 490 and 57,002 with no distinction(差别) as to how many deaths were caused by the earthquake and how many were caused by the tsunami. However, it is believed that most of the deaths in Chile were caused by the tsunami.

    Where did the largest tsunami damage occur? ( )

    A. Concepcion

    B. Isia Chiloe

    C. Valdivia

    D. Valparaiso

    Study Helps Predict Big Mediterranean Quake

    1.Scientists have found evidence that an overlooked fault in the eastern Mediterranean is likely to produce an earthquake and tsunami every 800 years as powerful as the one that destroyed Alexandria in AD 365.
    2.Using radiocarbon dating techniques,simulations and computer models,the researchers recreated the ancient disaster in order to identify the responsible fault."We are saying there is probably a repeat time of 800 years for this kind of earthquake,"said Ms Beth Shaw,an earthquake scientist at the University of Cambridge,who led the study. Scientists study past earthquakes in order to deter-mine the future possibility of similar large shocks.
    3.Identifying the fault for the AD 365 earthquake and tsunami is important for the tens of millions of people in the region,Ms.Shaw said.The fault close to the southwest coast of Crete last produced a big enough quake to generate a tsunami about 1300,which means the next powerful one could come in the next 100 years,she added in a telephone interview.

    本题给出的信息是正确的。根据题目中的提到的overlook和fault,使用关键词定位法,定位到文章第一段话:" Scientists have found evidence that an overlooked fault in the eastern Mediterranean is likely to produce an earthquake and tsunami every 800 years as powerful as the one that destroyed Alexandria in AD 365.”公元365年,东部地中海地区发生特大地震和海啸,摧毁了亚历山大市,科学家们已经找到了证据证明:那里存在的一直被人忽视的断层,每隔800年就有可能就引发一次强地震和海啸。这与本题所描述的“科学家已经仔细研究了这个此前一直被忽略的断层”相符,所以选A。
    本题给出的信息是错误的。选择题目中较独特的短语“AD 365”作为关键词进行信息定位,找到文章第三段第一句话:" Identifying the fault for the AD 365 earthquake and tsunami is important for the tens of millions of people in the region , Ms.Shaw said.”肖女士说:对于地中海地区上千万的居民来说,确定是断层引发了公元365年地震和海啸非常重要。这与本题所描述的“确定是断层引发了公元365年地震和海啸非常有趣”相悖,所以选B。
    文章没有谈到这方面的信息。本题题干为:“放射性碳年代测定技术可以用于确定地球的年龄。”全文没有提到radiocarbon dating techniques可用来确定地球的年龄。所以选C。
    本题给出的信息是正确的。选择题干的关键词“next powerful earthquake",定位到文章第三段第二句话:" The fault close to the southwest coast of Crete last produced a big enough quake to generate a tsunami about 1300,which means the next powerful one could come in the next 100 years , she added in a telephone interview.”她在一次电话访问中补充说:克里特岛西南海岸附近的断层最后一次引发足以引起海啸的大地震是在公元1300年左右,这就意味着下一次强地震将在未来的100年中出现。这与本题所描述的“科学家预测下一次强地震将在2100年以前出现”一致,所以选A。
    本题给出的信息是正确的。选择“Ms.Shaw',这个称呼使用专有名词定位法进行定位,找到第四段第一句:"Ms.Shaw and her colleagues calculate the likely intervals by measuring the motion of either side of the fault to gauge how often such large earthquakes would have to occur to account for that level of motion.”肖女士和她的同事测量了断层两侧的震动强度,并确定大规模地震多久发生一次才会引起这样的震动强度,从而推算出地震产生的大致间隔时间。这与本题所描述的“肖女士让她的同事帮她做地震的预测工作”一致,所以选A。
    本题给出的信息是错误的。题干的意思是:“肖女士和她的研究组测量了断层两侧的震动强度,确定了公元365年地震的震级。”原文中与之相关的信息出现在第四段第一句中:"Ms.Shaw and her colleagues calculate the likely intervals by measuring the motion of either side of the fault to find how often such large earthquakes would have to occur to account for that level of motion.”肖女士和她的同事测量了断层两侧的震动强度,并确定大规模地震多久发生一次才会引起这样的震动强度,从而推算出地震产生的大致间隔时间。由于所表述的行为目的不同,这句恰恰证明了题干上的说法是错误的。所以选B。
    文章没有谈到这方面的信息。题干的意思是:“由肖女士研发的地震预警装置现在在全球广泛使用。”文章中没有一句提到肖女士发明过地震预测装置,更没有谈及这种装置在全世界得到广泛应用这一点,所以选C。
