Question

Earthquakes are something that people fear．There are some places that have few or no earthquakes．Most places in the world，however，have them regularly（有規(guī)律的）．Countries that have a lot of earthquakes are usually quite mountainous（多山的）．
The most talked about earthquake in the United States was in San Francisco in 1906．Over 700 people died in it．The strongest one in North America was in 1964．It happened in Alaska．
Strong earthquakes are not always the ones that kill the most people．In 1755，one of the strongest earthquakes ever recorded was felt in Portugal．Around 2,000 people died．
In 1923，a very strong earthquake hit the Tokyo，Yokohama area of Japan．A hundred and forty thousand people died．Most of them died in fires which followed the earthquake．
One of the worst earthquakes ever was in China in 2008．It killed a large number of people．The worst earthquake ever reported was also in China，in which 400,000 people were killed or injured．This earthquake happened in 1556．
Earthquakes worry people a lot．The reason is that we often do not know when they are coming．People can not prepare for it．

試題分析：本文講述的是地震以及歷史上幾次有名的地震的情況。
1.B 細節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段．The worst earthquake ever reported was also in China，in which 400,000 people were killed or injured．This earthquake happened in 1556．可知最可怕的地震是1556年發(fā)生在中國的。故B正確。
2.A 細節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章第三段第一句Strong earthquakes are not always the ones that kill the most people．可知并不是最強烈的地震就會殺死最多的人。故A項說法是錯誤的。
3.B 推理題。根據(jù)文章最后一段Earthquakes worry people a lot．The reason is that we often do not know when they are coming．People can not prepare for it．可知人們對地震一般都是沒有辦法做很多的準備的，接下來將是的將是人們能夠做的事情。故B正確。
