Ⅱ.阅读理解（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
In a natural disaster—a hurricane,flood,tornado,volcanic eruption,or other calamity—minutes and even seconds of warning can be the difference between life and death.Because of this,scientists and government officials are working to use the latest technological advances to predict when and where disasters will happen.They are also studying how best to analyze and communicate this information once it is obtained.The goal is to put technology to effective use in saving lives and property when nature unleashes its power with devastating results.
On September 29,1998,Hurricane Georges made landfall in Biloxi,Mississippi,after devastating Haiti,the Dominican Republic,Puerto Rico,and several islands of the Caribbean with torrential rains and winds up to 160 km/h （100 mph）.Few people lost their lives along the Gulf Coast of the United States,although hundreds died in the Caribbean.
This was a very different outcome from 1900,when a powerful Gulf Coast hurricane made an unexpected direct hit on Galveston,Texas,killing at least 6 000 people.Vastly improved hurricane warnings explain the different circumstances at either end of the 20th century—residents of Galveston had no advance warning that a storm was approaching,while residents of Biloxi had been warned days in advance of Georges’s approach,allowing for extensive safety precautions.
At the same time that people in Biloxi were thankful for the advance warning,some residents of New Orleans,Louisiana,120 km to the west,were less satisfied.A day before Georges made landfall,forecasters were predicting that the hurricane had a good chance of striking New Orleans.Because much of New Orleans lies below sea level,the city is at risk for flooding.In addition,because New Orleans has a large population in vulnerable locations,emergency management officials must begin evacuations well before a storm strikes.But evacuation costs money:Businesses close,tourists leave,and citizens take precautionary measures.The mayor of New Orleans estimated that his city’s preparations for Georges cost more than 50 million.After the full fury of Georges missed New Orleans,some residents questioned the value of the hurricane forecasts in the face of such high costs.
The differing views on the early warnings for Hurricane Georges illustrate some of the complexities involved in predicting disasters.Disaster prediction is more than just forecasting the future with advanced technology—it is also a process of providing scientific information to the government officials and other decision makers who must respond to those predictions.
In general,the process has three phases.First,there is the challenge of forecasting the event itself.In the case of Georges,scientists worked to predict the future direction and strength of the hurricane days in advance.
A second important challenge is communicating the forecast to decision－makers.Because forecasts are always uncertain,a central factor in disaster predictions is communicating this uncertainty.Uncertainty is usually described in terms of odds or probabilities,much like daily weather forecasts.The media plays an important role in communicating predictions and their uncertainty to the public.
The third part of the process is the use of predictive information by decision makers.Even the most accurate information is of little value if the decision maker does not use it appropriately,for example in deciding whether to order an evacuation.If there is a breakdown in any of these three phases of prediction,the result is increased danger and a higher risk of loss of life.
1.The underlined word“calamity”refers to ______.
A.nature B.thunderstorms C.disaster D.dangers
2.According the passage,the purpose of disaster prediction is to______.
A.demonstrate the power of advanced technology
B.bring out the truth between life and death
C.prevent such natural disasters from happening
D.reduce human casualties and loss of property
3.Which of the following areas suffered the most severe damage
A.Biloxi,Mississippi. B.Gulf Coast of U. S.
C.Galveston,Texas. D.New Orleans.
4.The city residents of New Orleans were unsatisfied because______.
A.they underwent a heavy hurricane attack
B.the forecast hurricane did not hit the city
C.the hurricane warning arrived rather late
D.its precautionary measures were wasted
5.Which of the following phases does not belong to the disaster predication process
A.Accurate predictions of forthcoming disasters.
B.Communication of forecasts and uncertainty.
C.Evacuation from the disaster－stricken areas.
D.Decision maker’s timely response to warnings.

请同学们阅读下面短文，然后用最多15个词的句子概括各种自然现象的特点。
A volcano（火山） is a vent（出口） in the Earth from which melted rock （magma） and gas erupt.The melted rock that erupts from the volcano （lava） forms a hill or mountain around the vent.
All volcanic eruptions are not alike.Some eruptions,are quiet,with lava slowly flowing from a vent.Other eruptions are very violent,with lava and other materials being thrown up hundreds of miles into the air.Gases from within the earth’s interior（内部）mix with huge quantities of dust and ash and rise into the air as great dark clouds that can be seen from many kilometers away.Some dark－colored lava is thin and runny,and tends to flow.
A hurricane（飓风）is a powerful cyclone （low－pressure area containing rising warm air） that forms over tropical（热带）oceans.During late summer and early autumn,low－pressure areas often form over the Caribbean or the Gulf of Mexico.Warm,moist（潮湿的） air begins to rise rapidly.Cooler air moves in,and the air begins to spin（旋转）.As the air pressure in the center drops,more air is drawn into the spinning system.The system begins to spin faster.The rapidly spinning,rising air forms a doughnut－shaped（油炸圈饼形状） wall of strong winds,clouds,and rainfall.Inside the wall,the air is calm.This calm center is called the eye of the hurricane.Outside the eye,winds may reach rotational（转动的） speeds close to 480 km/h.
A typhoon（台风） is a violent storm that is formed over the Western Pacific.These storms are called a tropical cyclone.Typhoons are very similar to hurricanes.They begin near the equator,and move westward gaining in intensity（强调） and size.A storm surge（巨涌） often accompanies a typhoon.A storm surge is a giant wave that is caused by a storm.The winds near the center of a typhoon blow at very high speeds.They often reach 150 miles per hour.A typhoon can be up to 300 miles wide.
A tornado（龙卷风） is a very powerful twisting（旋转） windstorm.It is a very intense cyclone.Tornado winds are the most violent winds that take place on Earth.They are a circulating funnel（倒漏斗） cloud that comes down from a dark mass of clouds.Some of these funnels do not reach Earth.However,other funnels come down,touch ground,go back up,and touch down again.
A tornado is called a twister in some places.Most tornadoes last less than an hour.They can travel about twenty miles,at a speed of ten to twenty－five miles per hour.Some of them last several hours.These are the most destructive.They travel about two hundred miles at a speed of sixty miles per hour.Most form along a front between cool dry air from the north,and warm humid air from the south.The violent circulating winds destroy almost everything in its path.
Lightning is a flash of light followed by a deep rumbling（隆隆） sound.More than one hundred lightning bolts strike the earth every second.These little rivers of electricity are brighter than ten million one－hundred watt light bulbs.They travel at a speed of sixty miles per second!
Thunder is the deep rumbling sound,it can be crackly,rumbly,or just one large crack（噼啪声） might be heard.
A blizzard is made up of wind and snow.A blizzard is a North American name for a violent,bitterly cold wind accompanied by blowing snow whipped up from the ground.Freezing temperatures,high wind speeds,low visibility（可见度）,and drifting snow create hazardous（危险的） conditions.The most common places for blizzards to occur are the central United States,eastern and central Canada,and Russia.
A storm is an atmospheric disturbance with high winds,water,snow,hail（冰雹）...thunder and lightening...a cyclone,hurricane,typhoon,blizzard,tornado...
Flooding is the most common of all natural hazards（危险）,often due to another natural disaster as storms,hurricanes...Flooding happens during heavy rains,when rivers overflow,when ocean waves come onshore,when snow melts too fast or when dams or levees（防洪堤）break.Flooding may be only a few inches of water or it may cover a house to the rooftop.Floods that happen very quickly are called flashfloods.
An earthquake is a sudden movement of the Earth,caused by the sudden release（释放） of strain（张力） that has accumulated（积累）over a long time.For hundreds of millions of years,the forces of plate tectonics（板块构造） have shaped the Earth as the huge plates that form the Earth?s surface slowly move over,under,and past each other.Sometimes the movement is gradual.At other times,the plates are locked together,unable to release the accumulating energy.When the accumulated energy grows strong enough,the plates break free.If the earthquake occurs in a populated area,it may cause many deaths and injuries and extensive（重大） property damage.

（1）修饰more than，too，用almost。
（2）被very，not，pretty修饰用nearly。

答案：death→deaths
4.解析：合成形容词作前置定语，名词用抽象形式。
答案：10 metres→10-metre
5.解析：lasted是不及物动词，意为“持续”；damage表示“损失；损害，损坏”是不可数名词；half与名词连时，中间需要加冠词。
答案：去掉was；damages→damage；the half→half the
6.解析：ended此处指snowstorm的自然停止状态，并不是人为的动作，所以要用作不及物动词；by与时间名词连用时，时态为完成时；nearly后面不接否定词。
答案：去掉was；was→had been；nearly→almost
7.解析：furniture 意为“家具”，是不可数名词。
答案：few furnitures→little furniture
8.解析：the ones相当于those表示“……的那些人”。
答案：ones前加the
9.解析：此处是指“正然着火的旅馆”。
答案：burnt→burning

过去完成时
1.D　2.A　3.D　4.A　5.C　6.B　7.C　8.D　9.B　10.B
间接引语
1~3解析：这三题的选项部分（即间接引语部分）都是含有疑问的意思，本来应是特殊疑问句形式，但当疑问句改为间接引语时，须将疑问句的语序改为陈述句的语序。
答案：C　A　A
4.解析：首先要选择间接引语部分是陈述词序的选项；第二要考虑疑问词的正确使用，从句子结构来看，间接引语部分的谓语do缺少了宾语，因此应选择连接词what充当do的宾语。
答案：B
5.解析：第一个原因与上题一样；第二点关于疑问词的考虑，因为间接引语部分的谓语will look like 的like是介词，而介词必须带有宾语，因此使用连接词what充当介词like 的宾语。
答案：A
6.解析：第一个原因与第4题一样；至于疑问词的选择，因为go是一个不及物动词，如果要表示“去哪里”，就要用“go+副词”或“go+介词+名词/代词”结构，因此如果选C的话，gone后应加介词to。故使用连接词where。
答案：A
7.解析：第一点考虑的是间接引语部分需使用陈述词序，故排除B和D。第二点考虑的是时态问题。因为主句使用了一般现在时，如果选择A，使用过去完成时，在这个句子并没有过去时间作参照点，因此不能使用过去完成时。
答案：C
8.解析：直接引语是祈使句时，间接引语用不定式。
答案：C
9.答案：B
10.答案：C

答案：1~5 BCCAA　　　　6~10 BCBAC
Ⅱ.阅读理解
1.解析：根据该词所在句子可知calamity 应该与前面的disaster同义。
答案：C
2.解析：灾害预报的目的可以在第一段中找到：“The goal is to put technology to effective use in saving lives and property when nature unleashes its power with devastating results.”。A、B两项的内容不符合事实，C项说是预防灾害的发生，现在实际上还做不到。D项的内容较接近原文的意思。
答案：D
3.解析：试题问哪个地方遭受过最严重的灾害。A、B两项所说的地方由于有了预报，损失不大。D项是新奥尔良，根本没有遭受灾害。C项所指的地方，1900年在没有得到预报的情况下，突遭飓风，造成6000多人死亡，因此损失最大。
答案：C
4.解析：新奥尔良市的人们不太满意的主要原因，根据第四段的内容，不是因为A项（遭受严重飓风袭击），不是因为B项（飓风没有袭击他们），也不是因为C项（灾害预报来晚了），而是因为D项（他们花费大量资金所作的准备没有用上，白白浪费了）。
答案：D
5.解析：文章后半部分讲了灾害预报的三个阶段，比较四个选项，我们可以发现C项（从受灾地区撤离）不太准确。因为，并不是每次灾害都要导致大批人员的撤离，要根据灾害的严重程度来决定，所以这不是灾害预报必然的三阶段之一。其余三个选项都能在文章中找到相应的内容。
答案：C

Ⅳ. 阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
(A)
There is an English saying :“Laughter is the best medicine. ”Until recently, few people took the saying seriously. Now however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body. They have found that laughter really can improve people’s health.
Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their hearts, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter had similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, the heart beating and breathing; it also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial.
Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programmes. The group that tolerated(忍耐)the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny programme. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemicals in the brain which diminish both stress and pain.
As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they help to improve their patients’ conditions by encouraging them to laugh. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter.

(2009年合肥三模，D)
Marriages improve after children grow up and move out，according to an academic study，which suggests an “empty nest” is not always a bad thing.
Popular wisdom has it that parents’ relationships may suffer once their young fly the coop，because they feel they have lost their purpose in life.However，a new study by researchers at the University of California，Berkeley，has found that many couples actually feel happier when their children leave home because they are able to enjoy spending time together.
In total,123 American mothers born in the 1930s were tracked for 18 years and asked to rate their satisfaction levels shortly after marrying，when they were bringing up babies，once their children reached their teenage years and finally at age 61，when almost all had “empty nests”．
Although not all said they were happier in general，most claimed their marriages had improved since their children had left home.Researchers believe this is not just because the spouses were spending more time together，but because they were able to enjoy each other’s company more.
One of the participants in the study，which is published in the journal Psychological Science，said：“Once the kids grow up...there’s some of that stress removed...that responsibility removed，so things are a little more relaxed.”
Psychologist Sara Gorchoff，who carried out the investigation，said：“The take home message for couples with young children is ‘hang in there’．” Her co author Oliver John added：“Don’t wait until your kids leave home to schedule quality time with your partner.”
However，Dr Dorothy Rowe，from the British Psychological Society，said the effects of living in an “empty nest” will depend on the parents’ relationship with their children.“If you’re just waiting for them to leave home so you can get on with your life，then of course you’ll be pleased to see them go，” she said，“But if you’ve built your life around your children you’ll be terribly lonely.For some parents，their world falls apart when their children leave.”
1．It is commonly believed that________.
A．marriages improve after children leave home
B．an “empty nest” is always a happy thing
C．parents’ relationships may suffer once their young grow up and move out
D．parents will be pleased after their children leave home
2．When did many couples feel happier according to the study
A．At age 61，when almost all had “empty nests”．
B．Shortly after marrying.
C．Once their children reached their teenage years.
D．When they were bringing up babies.
3．Marriages improve after children fly the coop not because______.
A．many couples are able to spend time together
B．many couples are able to enjoy each other’s company
C．things are a little more relaxed
D．many couples needn’t work at all
4．The author of the passage tends to agree that________.
A．parents should build their life around their kids
B．parents should schedule quality time with each other before kids leave home
C．parents’ relationship with their kids has no effect on marriages at all
D．parents should be pleased to see their kids leave home
Ⅰ.单项填空
1．D　由上句可知乘客要十点前到达浦东机场，根据答语后句“但是我不能保证”，可知司机说“我会尽力的”(I’ll do my best)。I have no idea我不知道；No problem没问题；It’s scary真令人害怕。
2．A　catch fire着火；set fire to放火。句意为：那间房子昨晚着火了。据说是有人故意放的火。
3．C　strength力气；power力量，权力；force武力；spirit精神。句意为：那天走了25公里之后，我连移动双脚的力气几乎都没有了。
4．D　an idea occurred to sb.＝an idea struck sb.，意为“某人想起了一个好主意”。句意为：我突然想起了一个好主意，我可以用零花钱为父亲买条领带。
5．A　furniture家具，为不可数名词，用that代替，此处表特指。it指物时，是明确地指上文所提到的那个事物。句意为：你注意到了吗？这个房间的家具与你房间的家具完全不同。
6．C　此处为动词 ing形式作结果状语。不定式常表示预料之外的结果，而动词 ing形式常表示预料之中的结果。句意为：大雨连续下了四天，把我们的假期都毁了。
7．B　take off去掉；take in吸收；put out扑灭；give out发出，放出。句意为：当他按时完成了任务时，他感到去掉一件大心事。
8．A　kill表示的动作发生在decided之前，即“过去的过去”，且与主语parents之间是动宾关系，因此用过去完成时的被动语态。
9．C　experience作“经验”讲时，通常用做不可数名词(没有复数形式，也不能与不定冠词连用)；当它作“经历”讲时，是个可数名词，有复数形式，也可与不定冠词连用。
10．B　根据对话可以知道回答者对解释原因的人很不满意。因此要用“借口”表达不相信或陈述内容不客观。
11．B　此句是when the great man was asked about his success的省略形式，当主、从句主语一致，而且从句中含有be动词时，可以省去从句中的主语和be动词。
12．A　考查代词。本句中it作形式宾语，代替后面的不定式。
13．D　refer to谈到，涉及，此处是过去分词短语作problem的后置定语。系动词is的主语是problem。
14．D　提问做某事的频率用how often；on average意为“平均来说”。
15．D　第一空“Is there any possibility...？”意为“有……的可能性吗？”第二空用that引导同位语从句。
Ⅱ.完形填空
1．A　think of...as...是固定短语，意为“把……视为/看做……”。2．B　句意为：我对情人节的记忆最早是从我六岁那年开始的。依据下文的描述可知，作者对这个情人节的记忆特别深刻，所以用magic来描述那种难以忘怀的感觉。
3．D　卡片上有父亲的签名。该选项从第三段第一句中的“included a．..card signed ‘Love，Dad’”可得到提示。
4．C　礼物是一个戒指，上面镶着一片红色的玻璃来代表我的诞生石——红宝石。其他选项不符合语境。
5．B　依据下文的with pride可知，该处用little。对一个六岁的孩子而言，红玻璃和红宝石没有什么不同。
6．C　表示佩戴首饰只能用wear。
7．A　上文提及作者佩戴这个礼物时的自豪之情，所以这里选A，认为这是最好的，世界上所有的卡片都不能超过它。
8．D　as在此处引导时间状语从句，意为“随着”。
9．B　随着我年龄的增加，礼物变成装满了我最喜爱的巧克力的心形盒子。give way to是固定短语，意为“为……所代替”。
10．A　该题可采用排除法，修饰巧克力不能用“可爱的；亲爱的；宝贵的”，但可以用“最喜爱的”。
11．D　父亲的卡片是特殊的，特别的。
12．C　该处语境为“而我的感谢越来越成为一种敷衍的回应”。从上下文可知，此处是与以前相对比。
13．A　这些贺卡看起来似乎不再那么重要。
14．B　我想当然地认为情人节年年都有。正是如此，才有了后文的不珍惜及上文提及的说感谢的话也成了敷衍的回应。
15．C　我把希望和梦想放在收到那些来自“重要的其他人”的卡片和礼物上。place意为“(小心或有意)放置，安放”，用在此处能反映出作者当时对父亲的爱的漠视。
16．B　来自父亲的贺卡似乎远远不够(满足女儿的需要)。与上文的from “significant others”相照应。
17．D　父亲送我的最后一张卡片在提醒着我：父亲对子女的爱是多么特别又是多么重要。看到父亲的卡片，就想起了父亲和卡片的意义，所以这张卡片具有“提示”的功能，故选D。
18．A　由上文可知，父亲一直都在这么做，所以用tradition(传统)。
19．B　句意为：这些事情永远不会消逝，就如同我对一位男子的记忆，他永远是我的情人。这句话表达了女儿对父亲永远的怀念。die在此表“消逝”。
20．D　stop doing sth.停止做某事，符合语境。stop与上文提及的两个never正好照应。
Ⅲ.阅读理解
【语篇解读】　孩子们长大了，飞出去了，拥挤但却温馨的家庭一下子变得空荡荡的。那么我们的父母会不会因孤独而心烦，整天吵个不停呢？
1．C　考查细节理解。由第二段第一句话可知，人们普遍认为，当他们的小孩长大离家之后，父母因失去了生活的目的，关系会变得紧张，所以C项正确。
2．A　考查细节理解。由第三、四段可知，他们对123位美国母亲追踪调查了18年，让她们分别说出她们在刚结婚后、初为人母时、孩子十来岁时和她们61岁时(也就是空巢之后)的幸福度。她们普遍反映，孩子离家之后她们的婚姻关系提高了。
3．D　考查细节理解。根据第四段最后半句话可排除B项；根据第五段可排除A、C两项；故D项为本题答案。
4．B　考查细节理解。由倒数第二段最后一句话可知，不要等到孩子都离家之后才来规划和你爱人高质量的生活。辞海拾贝（Book 3）

Haiti can expect more aftershocks in coming weeks, and while the usual pattern suggests they will become weaker and less frequent, another one as strong as Wednesday’s jolt (猛击)is certainly possible, scientists say.
The battered（打垮了的）nation has felt more than 45 significant aftershocks since the Jan. 12 quake. Wednesday’s event, originally estimated at magnitude 6.1 but later weakened to 5. 9, tied an earlier aftershock as the strongest so far.
“These events are a sign that the land is adjusting to the new reality of the rock layers, ” said Bruce Pressgrave, a geophysicist with the US Geological Survey.
Eric Calais of Purdue University, who has studied earthquake potential in the region, said aftershocks could continue for several weeks and that another jolt as strong as Wednesday’s would not be surprising.
“They will be less and less frequent, but large ones can still strike, ” he said. So buildings are still at risk, especially those already weakened, he said.
Julie Dutton, a USGS geophysicist, agreed that more aftershocks are probable and that another event like Wednesday’s was certainly possible. “More likely we see that the earthquakes decrease in size, but you definitely have the potential that you can have a larger earthquake, ” she said.
Paul Mann of the University of Texas said it’s hard to predict whether another sizable（相当大的）quake is in the future, since “we are dealing with a natural system that is very complex. ”
Calais also said the fault（断层）zone responsible for last week’s quake extends into the neighboring nation, the Dominican Republic. It’s “somewhat of a concern to us” that the Haiti quake may have raised the chances for a quake there. The two countries share the island of Hispaniola.
But scientists don’t know enough to make any forecasts, he said. “There is so much uncertainty, ” Calais said. “At this point we’re working really hard to understand last week’s earthquake, and from there we can perhaps understand what might happen next. ”
1. The earthquake originally estimated at magnitude 6. 1 happened on_____.
A. Jan. 12, Wednesday
B. Jan. 12, Thursday
C. Feb. 12, Wednesday
D. Feb. 12, Thursday
【解析】选A。 根据第二段的表述可知，海地地震发生在一月十二号，星期三。
2. According to Calais’ words in Paragraph 4, we can infer_____.
A. aftershocks could continue for several weeks
B. a big earthquake would possibly happen
C. there would be no big earthquake any more
D. it would be surprising that another big earthquake was to happen
【解析】选B。推理判断题。根据“. . . aftershocks could continue for several weeks and that another jolt as strong as Wednesday’s would not be surprising. ”可知，另一个大的地震有可能发生。
3. From the last paragraph, we know that_____.
A. scientists are still studying the earthquake happening on Jan. 12
B. scientists can know what will happen next exactly
C. scientists can make some forecasts with certainty
D. studying the earthquake of last week can’t be useful for the forecast about the future one
【解析】选A。根据最后一段中科学家的话可知，科学家们正在努力研究发生在星期三的那次地震。由“At this point we’re working really hard to understand last week’s earthquake, . . . ”可知。
4. The passage tells us that_____.
A. in coming weeks, aftershocks will happen
B. it is certain that there will not be a big earthquake in the future in Haiti
C. the aftershocks in this area will become more and more frequent
D. though another big earthquake will possibly hit this area, nothing will happen to the buildings
【解析】选A。根据文中第一段的第一句话可知，A项正确。
5. The following statements are right EXCEPT_____.
A. a big earthquake happened on Wednesday in Haiti
B. Haiti and the Dominican Republic are both on the island of Hispaniola
C. the earthquake happening in Haiti also caused serious damage to the Dominican Republic
D. scientists still can’t make accurate forecast about what will happen in this area
【解析】选C。根据倒数第二段可知，海地地震对the Dominican Republic带来了地震的可能性而不是已经造成了地震。
Ⅴ. 阅读表达
［1］Earthquakes are one of the most powerful natural forces on earth and regularly affect people around the world. Unlike often equally damaging severe weather events such as hurricanes and tornadoes, earthquakes can hit at anytime.
［2］Earthquakes are defined as a shaking of the earth’s surface that occurs after a release(释放)of energy in the earth’s crust(地壳).
［3］Because the earth’s crust is made up of numerous plates that are constantly moving slowly, shakings can occur and result in small earthquakes. Most earthquakes are quite small and are not felt. Larger and more violent earthquakes occur when energy is released as the plates slide past or run into one another.
［4］Large earthquakes can occur on the location where two plates meet, but they are not limited to these areas. As the plates move, breaks in the earth’s crust develop and earthquakes are often located on them.
［5］In addition to the main shaking created by an earthquake, there are often foreshocks and aftershocks. Foreshocks generally increase in magnitude leading up to the main earthquake, whereas aftershocks happen after the main event and decrease in strength.
［6］_____ vary based on their energy and intensity. They can cause damage to bridges, dams, roads, railroad tracks, and the foundations of buildings. They can also cause landslides, floods and fires. In addition, undersea earthquakes can generate tsunamis(海啸)that are capable of traveling great distances and can cause significant damage to coastal communities.
1. Which sentence in the text is the closest in meaning
to the following one
