1112014屆高考英語(yǔ)一輪復(fù)習(xí)全方位配套訓(xùn)練人教版必修一Unit 4 Earthquakes閱讀理解2第組AHaving lived in California until 1970，my family has felt a number of earthquakes.We have been fortunate，however，to have suffered no bodily harm or property damage.There is a website that lists all California earthquakes recorded from 1769 to the present.The site lists the dates and times as well as the magnitude （震級(jí)） and the exact location of any quake that measured more than 6.0.There are only a few quakes that stand out in my memory and，luckily，none is shown in the website.So，my personal experience with earthquakes might be considered insignificant.There are three earthquakes that are difficult to forget.The first one was in 1955 and our oldest daughter was walking with me in our backyard in Redwood City in California.As the shaking became stronger I held her to me with one arm as I held on to one of our fruit trees with the other.All three of us （my daughter，I and the tree）shook for two or three minutes that to us felt like hours.The second one was in 1963.Our entire family was visiting Disneyland in Southern California.The earth started to shake just as we were beginning to walk from our hotel toward the famous landmark.My third experience with an earthquake was a lonely one in California.It was in my sixties and I was alone in an old church.As the building started to shake，I quickly headed for the door to go outside.I remember I said a little prayersomething like，“Help me get out of here in time，Dear Heavenly Father”.Minutes later，I was safe outside.1.The author writes the passage

moving up and down frequently.However，there are places in the rocks of the earths crust where it isnt strongly held togetherwhere faults exist.Along the faults，one rock might push against another with great force.The energy is changed to vibration in the rocks，so they begin to shake and we have an earthquake!The most famous one in North America was the San Francisco earthquake of 1906.Seven hundred people died and property（財(cái)產(chǎn)）damage amounted to about 425，000，000.The greatest destruction came from the fires that followed the quake.One of the most famous earthquakes in Europe took place in Lisbon，Portugal，in 1755.The city was destroyed and at least thirty thousand people were killed.In 1908，in Calabria and Sicily，a quake killed about seventy-five thousand people.In 1915，in central Italy，hundreds of towns and villages were damaged and thirty thousand people were killed.Two great earthquakes that caused great damage in Asia took place in Tokyo，Japan，and in Gansu Province in China.The Tokyo quake of 1923 killed more than one hundred thousand people and destroyed the city and the city of Yokohama，too.The Chinese quake in 1920 covered more than three hundred square miles and killed about two hundred thousand people.5.The first paragraph mainly tells us .A.where earthquakes happenB.how earthquakes happenC.the damage caused by earthquakesD.famous earthquakes in the

damage than the earthquake didC.there were 75，000 people killed in the San Francisco earthquakeD.the city of Yokohama was not greatly influenced by the Tokyo quake【語(yǔ)篇解讀】本文是一篇說明文。說明地震的起因。5.B 通讀第一段可知，本段介紹了地震的起因。6.A 一塊巖石有可能用力擠壓另一塊巖石，地殼的能量發(fā)生了改變導(dǎo)致巖石晃動(dòng)，于是地震發(fā)生了。vibration意為“晃動(dòng)”，故A項(xiàng)正確。7.D 由地震死亡數(shù)字可知，1920年在中國(guó)發(fā)生的地震死亡人數(shù)最多。8.B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二段中“The greatest destruction came from the fires that followed the quake.”可知B項(xiàng)正確。CIn 1989 an 8.2 earthquake almost flattened America，killing over 30，000 people in less than four minutes.A father rushed to the school where his son was supposed to be，only to discover that the building was as flat as a pancake.After the shock，he remembered the promise he had made to his son：“No matter what， Ill always be there for you!” And tears began to fill his eyes.As he looked at the pile of ruins that once was the school，it looked hopeless，but he kept remembering his promise to his son.Remembering his sons classroom would be in the back right corner of the building，he rushed there and started digging through the ruins.Other well-meaning parents tried to pull him off what was left of the school，saying：“Its too late! Theyre all dead! You cant help! Face the reality，theres nothing you can do!” He replied，“Are you going to help me now?” The fire chief showed up and tried to pull him off the schools ruins saying，“Fires are breaking out，explosions are happening everywhere.Youre in danger.Well take care of it.Go home.” This loving，caring American father asked，“Are you going to help me now?”The police came and said，“Youre anxious and its over.Youre endangering others.Go home.Well handle it!” He replied，“Are you going to help me now?” No one helped.Courageously he went on alone.He dug for eight hours.12 hours.24 hours.36 hours.then，in the 38th hour，he pulled back a large stone and heard his sons voice.He screamed his sons name，“ARMAND!” He heard back，“Dad!

return to their normal life quickly，while others will have to contend with the destruction of their homes，medical problems，and injury to family members.Children especially will need time to recover from the loss of a loved one or a pet or from the closing down of their school.Children often turn to adults for information，comfort and help.Parents should try to remain calm，answer childrens questions honestly and remain understanding when they see changes in their childrens behavior.Children react differently to an earthquake depending on their ages，developmental levels and former experiences.Some will respond by withdrawing （不與人交往），while others will have angry outbursts（爆發(fā)）.Parents should remain sensitive to each childs reactions.Parents should spend time talking to their children，letting them know that its OK to ask questions and to share their worries.Although it may be hard to find time to have these talks，parents can use regular family mealtimes or bedtimes for them.They should answer questions briefly and honestly and be sure to ask their children for their opinions and ideas.Issues may come up more than once and parents should remain patient when you
