2.Some countries have a large number of earthquakes.Japan is one of them,while others do not have many,for example,there are few earthquakes in Britain.There is often a great noise during an earthquake.The ground vibrates (顫動).Houses fall down.Railways are broken,which causes trains to turn over.Sometimes thousands of people are killed in different ways.About 60,000 were killed in 1783 in the south of Italy.Some people say that earthquakes often
happen near volcanoes(火山),but it is not true.The centers of some earthquakes are under the sea.The bottom of the sea suddenly moves.The powerful forces inside the earth break the rocks.The coast is shaken and great waves appear.These waves travel long distances and rush over the land when they reach it,breaking down houses and other buildings.Sometimes they break more buildings than the earthquake itself.
A terrible earthquake happened in Assam,India,in 198 6.The land near Shillong suddenly moved 1.5 feet to one side,and then back again.It continued to act like this 20 times a minute.Few buildings could stand what was happening and the great stones flew four feet up into the air.What kind of building stays up best in an earthquake?The Americans carefully studied the results of the earthquake at San Francisco(1906)and believed it best for buildings to be made with concrete(混凝土) walls together by steel frames.Such are the buildings that can't burn or fall easily.
25.Which of the following is NOT true?D
A.Trains'turning over is directly caused by the earthquakes.
B.Some earthquakes have their centers under the sea.
C.It isn't certain that earthquakes happen near volcanoes.
D.Buildings with concrete walls are better against earth quakes.
26.Earthquakes often happen.B
A.near volcanoes B.Both A and D
C.in Britain D.in Japan
27.D make(s) more loss than the earthquake itself.
A.Nothing B.Volcanoes
C.Forces inside the earth D.Terrible waves by the earthquake
28.When an earthquake happens,Ccan be heard.

分析 本文主要講述了一些國家有大量的地震.日本是其中之一,也有一些國家很少發(fā)生地震,如在英國,在地震中常伴著巨大的噪音,在1986的印度Assam發(fā)生了最可怕的地震.
解答 25.D 細(xì)節(jié)題.根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容,The Americans carefully studied the results of the earthquake at San Francisco(1906)and believed it best for buildings to be made with concrete(混凝土) walls together by steel frames.Such are the buildings that can't burn or fall easily.可知混凝土墻的建筑物抗地震的說法是不正確的.應(yīng)該是混凝土與鋼筋結(jié)構(gòu)的墻能抗地震效果好,結(jié)合選項,故選D.
26.B 細(xì)節(jié)題.根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容,countries have a large number of earthquakes.Japan is one of them,及Some people say that earthquakes often happen near volcanoes(火山)可知日本經(jīng)常發(fā)生地址還有就是靠近火山的地方也一樣.故選B.
27.D 細(xì)節(jié)題.根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容,…waves travel long distances and rush over the land when they reach it,breaking down houses and other buildings.Sometimes they break more buildings than the earthquake itself.可知嚴(yán)重的震波比地震本身要可怕的多.故選D
28.C 細(xì)節(jié)題.根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容,There is often a great noise during an earthquake.可知地震發(fā)生伴隨巨大的響聲.故選C.
點評 本文是一個新聞報道類閱讀,題目涉及多道細(xì)節(jié)理解題,做題時結(jié)合原文和題目有針對性的找出相關(guān)語句進(jìn)行仔細(xì)分析,結(jié)合選項選出正確答案.推理判斷題也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確答案,切忌胡亂猜測,一定要做到有理有據(jù).
