A．burst out B．burst into C．broken into D．began with 答案：B　考查詞語搭配。burst into laughter＝burst out laughing，意為“大笑起來”。句意：觀眾們一直等到幕布拉起，然后一看到那個(gè)滑稽的演員，大家都突然大笑起來。break into“破門而入”；begin with“以……開始”。 4．________seems to me that you don't like that boy.

A．window B．tent C．roof D．shelter 答案：D　考查名詞辨析。由語境可知，雨下得很大，我們正在避雨，地點(diǎn)就在“outside the door”，由此可以排除window, roof，更不可能是tent“帳篷”，所以應(yīng)選shelter“躲避處”。 13．(2013·貴州省六校聯(lián)盟第一次聯(lián)考)________ in a classic detective novel, the landlord didn't notice a thief was creeping up to his bedroom. A．Buried B．To be buried C．Burying D．Having buried 答案：A　考查非謂語動(dòng)詞作狀語。句意：因?yàn)槿褙炞⒂谝徊拷?jīng)典偵探小說，房東沒有注意到一個(gè)賊正在躡手躡腳地向他的臥室走去。句子主語the landlord與bury構(gòu)成邏輯上的動(dòng)賓關(guān)系，所以排除C、D兩項(xiàng)；B項(xiàng)不定式表示將來，不符合語境，也可以排除。 14．(2012·寶雞質(zhì)檢一)—I've passed my driving test, and soon I'll get my driving license. —________.

A. shocking B. shocked C. to be shocked D. being shocked 答案：B　考查非謂語動(dòng)詞。句意：看到前面的車突然翻了，一開始他很吃驚，但是他很快平靜下來，把車停在旁邊，立即開始施救。由句意可知，他很驚訝，所以用shocked。該句though后省略了句子的主語he，和動(dòng)詞be的形式was，也可以補(bǔ)充在though后，得出填shocked。 Ⅳ.閱讀理解 A Everyone has heard of the San Andreas fault (斷層), which constantly threatens California and the West Coast with earthquakes. But how many people know about the equally serious New Madrid fault in Missouri? Between December of 1811 and February of 1812, three major earthquakes occurred, all centered around the town of New Madrid, Missouri, on the Mississippi River. Property damage was severe. Buildings in the area were almost destroyed. Whole forests fell at once, and huge cracks opened in the ground, releasing some strong smell chemicals. The Mississippi River itself completely changed character, developing sudden rapids and whirlpools(激流和漩渦). Several times it changed its course, and once, according to some observers, it actually appeared to run backwards. Few people were killed in the New Madrid earthquakes, probably simply because few people lived in the area in 1811; but the severity of the earthquakes was shown by the fact that the shock waves rang bells in church towers in Charleston, South Carolina, on the coast. Buildings shook in New York City, and clocks were stopped in Washington, D．C.. Scientists now know that America's two major faults are essentially different. The San Andreas is a horizontal(水平的)boundary between two major land masses that are slowly moving in opposite directions. California earthquakes result when the two masses make a sudden move. The New Madrid fault, on the other hand, is a vertical fault; at some point, possibly hundreds of millions of years ago, rock was pushed up toward the surface, probably by volcanoes under the surface. Suddenly, the volcanoes cooled and the rock collapsed, leaving huge cracks. Even now, the rock continues to settle downwards, and sudden sinking motions cause earthquakes in the region. The fault itself, a large crack in this layer of rock, with dozens of other cracks that split off from it, extends from northeast Arkansas through Missouri and into southern Illinois. Scientists who have studied the New Madrid fault say there have been numerous smaller quakes in the area since 1811; these smaller quakes indicate that larger ones are probably coming, but the scientists say they have no method of predicting when a large earthquake will occur. 文章大意：本文通過歷史回顧和科學(xué)分析，提醒人們多關(guān)注New Madrid地區(qū)頻繁的地震。 1．This passage is mainly about________. A. the New Madrid fault B. the San Andreas C. the causes of faults D. current scientific knowledge about faults 答案：A　主旨大意題。由本文第一段的最后一句話“But how many people know about the equally serious New Madrid fault in Missouri? ”可知。 2．Which of the following pictures best describes the type of the New Madrid fault? 答案：B　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。本文第四段和第五段內(nèi)容可以判斷The San Andreas fault是水平地震，而The New Madrid fault是垂直地震，所以B項(xiàng)正確。 3．This passage implies that________. A. horizontal faults are more dangerous than vertical faults B. vertical faults are more dangerous than horizontal faults C. a lot of people would die if the 1811 New Madrid earthquakes happened today D. the volcanoes that caused the New Madrid fault are still alive. 答案：C　推理判斷題。本文無A、B兩項(xiàng)相關(guān)內(nèi)容；根據(jù)第五段中第二句“Suddenly, the volcanoes cooled and the rock collapsed, leaving huge cracks. Even now, the rock continues to settle downwards”可以排除D項(xiàng)；根據(jù)第三段第三句“Few people were killed in the New Madrid earthquakes, probably simply because few people lived in the area in 1811”可以推測(cè)答案為C。 B A powerful earthquake struck the northeastern coast of Japan at 2：46 p. m. local time on March 11th, 2011. Japan's Meteorological Agency released its first tsunami warnings just three minutes later. The country has one of the best earthquake early warning systems in the world. There are over 4,000 Seismic Intensity Meters(地震烈度測(cè)量儀) in place throughout Japan to measure earthquake activity. These meters provide information within two minutes of an earthquake happening. Information about the strength and the center of the earthquake can be learned within three minutes. There are also concrete sea walls around much of the Japanese coastline. But these measures proved no match for the powerful earthquake and tsunami. Castas Synolakis is a tsunami expert in Los Angeles. He says, “Japan is one of those most well-prepared countries on earth in terms of tsunami warning. They had a warning. I think what went wrong is that they had not anticipated the size of this event.” He says there are two reasons for this. Japan has not had any event anywhere near as big as this one in the last 150 years. And scientists had not expected such a large earthquake happening off the coast of Japan. The 9.0-magnitude earthquake was the 4th most powerful earthquake ever recorded worldwide. It was also the worst earthquake ever to hit Japan. The tsunami waves that followed were reported to have reached as high as 13 meters in some areas. Costas Synolakis says Japan's concrete sea walls were not built to handle such high waves. A tsunami wave can travel as fast as 800 kilometers per hour. To get to higher ground people would often have to travel for many kilometers. This can take more time than a fast traveling tsunami will permit. This is especially true in cases like Japan, where the center of the earthquake struck so close to the coastline. The tsunami waves followed almost immediately. Experts say early warning systems will continue to be limited by these_facts until earthquakes and tsunamis can be predicted. 文章大意：本文是科技文。日本的地震預(yù)警系統(tǒng)位居世界前列，能在地震發(fā)生后的兩分鐘內(nèi)提供信息。三分鐘內(nèi)能夠提供有關(guān)地震強(qiáng)度和震中的信息。在海嘯預(yù)警方面，日本是世界上準(zhǔn)備工作做得最充分的國家之一，但這次他們沒有預(yù)測(cè)出這次海嘯的規(guī)模如此之大。 4．From the second paragraph we can infer that________. A．Japan is an island country B．the center of the earthquake is located in the northeastern coast C．the meters in Japan have dropped behind D．many measures have been carried out to reduce the consequences of earthquakes in Japan 答案：D　推理判斷題。A說法正確，但不是本段的推理；B不是由第二段推理得出的，是第一段中明示的信息。根據(jù)“These meters provide information within two minutes of an earthquake happening.Information about the strength and the center of the earthquake can be learned within three minutes.”判斷，C項(xiàng)推理錯(cuò)誤。D項(xiàng)根據(jù)所列事實(shí)可以推斷得出。 5．The underlined word “anticipated” in the third paragraph probably means“________”． A. predicted B. measured C. counted D. prevented 答案：A　猜測(cè)詞義題。根據(jù)第四段和第五段信息可知，日本的海嘯預(yù)警系統(tǒng)是世界上最好的之一，此次失誤在于沒有預(yù)料到海嘯的規(guī)模如此大。 6．The underlined words “these facts” in the last paragraph refer to the following EXCEPT________. A. the concrete sea walls can't control the wave B. it is the worst earthquake happening in Japan in the history C. the speed of the tsunami is frightening and quick D. there are many earthquakes in Japan 答案：D　細(xì)節(jié)認(rèn)定題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段、倒數(shù)第三段內(nèi)容可知答案為D。 7．Which may be the best title of this passage? A. Earthquakes and tsunamis can be predicted B. A 9.0-magnitude earthquake hit Japan C. Japan's concrete sea walls D. A report about Japan's early warning systems 答案：D　主旨大意題。根據(jù)全文內(nèi)容判斷，文章介紹日本擁有世界上最先進(jìn)的地震、海嘯預(yù)警系統(tǒng)，但沒有預(yù)料到這次大地震和海嘯如此之猛。 8．On which column of China Daily can you find the passage? A. Technology B. Culture discovery C. Travel D. History 答案：A　推理判斷題。本文主要介紹的是日本的地震、海嘯預(yù)警系統(tǒng)的先進(jìn)性和局限性。 111
