任务型阅读。（共5小题，每小题2分，计10分）阅读短文，并按要求完成下列试题。

Some countries have large numbers of earthquakes. Japan is one of them. One of the most serious earthquakes in world history took place in Japan in 1923. The shock and fires caused by it destroyed much of Tokyo and Yokohama and left more than 7000 dead. Other countries do not have many. For examples, there are few earthquakes in Britain, France, Germany.

There is often a great noise during an earthquake, but it is not always. The earth rocks. Houses fall down. Railway lines are broken. Sometimes many people are killed in an earthquake. People think earthquakes often happen near volcanoes(火山), but this is not always true. The centers of some are under the sea. The bottom of the sea suddenly moves. The powerful forces inside the earth break the rocks. The coast is rocking and great waves are caused there. These waves travel long distances and rush over the land when they reach it. They are strong enough to break down houses and other buildings; sometimes they break more buildings than earthquake itself.

What kind of building stands up best in an earthquake? A building with concrete(水泥) walls is perhaps the best. A steel frame(框架) will make it even stronger. The frame holds the different parts together and the walls do not easily fall. There is less chance of fire because concrete and steel(钢材) does not burn. This kind of building is the safest. Today modern concrete and steel apartment buildings are commonly seen in cities of Japan.

1.Why do we say that an earthquake is terrible?

_____________________________________________________________

2.What kind of building is the safest for us to live in against earthquakes?

_____________________________________________________________

3.Which country has the largest number of earthquakes, Britain, Japan, or France?

4.判断正误：正确的在括号里写T，错误写F。

(   ) The text mainly tells us how to protect ourselves when the earthquake happens.

Some countries are better than others at looking alter the enwronment. In Europe, Germany(德国) and northern European countries work very hard to improve the environment.

Expressions cover all parts of our life. They may be around your ears every day. You may know a lot of Chinese expressions that describe how you feel. Here are some English ones for your enjoyment.

Have Your Heart in Your Mouth

This expression means that you're really afraid or anxious about something. When your heart starts beating so much that you can feel a thumping(怦怦跳) in your throat, it may feel like you "have your heart in your mouth."

Have Butterflies in the Stomach

How did butterflies get in your stomach? Well, those really aren't butterflies in there. It is a way of describing those nervous feelings you might get before a test or a very important decision.

These stomach flutters (跳动) are normal and happen to many people. Some people believe having a few butterflies might even help you perform better.

Sick as a Dog

If you've ever been very sick, you may have used this expression. Because dogs eat just about anything they find, they often get sick. So it's all right to describe someone who's not feeling well as being "sick as a dog".

Under the Weather

When it's rainy all day outside, how would you feel? This expression comes from the idea that bad weather might hurt a person's health and mood(心情).

1. The expression "__" is most probably used while you are watching a thriller.

A. have your heart in your mouth    B. sick as a dog    C. under the weather

2.Someone believes__ if you "have butterflies in the stomach" before a test.

From the Sydney Opera House and Harbor Bridge to the Eiffel Tower in Pari sand London's Houses of Parliament, lights went out to encourage people to cut energy use.

We're sharing it with all these people turning off their lights," he said.

Australia first held Earth Hour in 2007 and it went global in 2008, attracting 50 million people. WWF is hoping one billion people from 1,000 cities in nearly 90 countries will take part in the event.
