Two travelling angels stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family. The family were rude and refused to let the angels stay in the guest room.

When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied: “Things aren’t always what they seem.”
The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very hospitable(好客的)farmer and his wife. After sharing what little food they had,the couple let the angels sleep in their bed where they could have a good night’s rest. When the sun came up the next morning,the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears. Their only cow, whose milk had been their only income, lay dead in the field.

“Things aren’t always what they seem.” the older angel replied. “When we stayed in the basement,I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. Since the owner was so greedy and unwilling to share his good fortune, I asked God if I could seal(封口) the wall so he wouldn’t find it. Then last night as we slept in the farmer’s bed, the angel of death came for his wife. I asked God if the angel could take the cow instead. Things aren’t always what they seem.”

高二英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析
An earthquake happens when two plates rub (碰撞) together. The earth plates travel in different directions and at different speeds. If one plate is slowly forced underneath the other, pressure builds up until the plates break apart. This process causes the ground to move. It is an earthquake. In other words, earth-quakes are the shaking of the earth’s surface caused by the earth’s rocky outer layer as a result of the energy stored within the earth. The strain within the rocks is suddenly released (释放).
The damage an earthquake causes depends on where it is and the time it is happening. If an unpopulated region is struck, there will be low loss of life or property. If it hits a large city, there may be many in-juries and much destruction. Many of the areas at risk are largely populated now. Major earthquakes hitting those areas today could produce terrible damage.
Actually, there are several million small earth-quakes every year. Large earthquakes such as the 1964 Alaskan quake that measured 9.2 on the Richter scale, cause millions of dollars in damage. In the last 500 years, millions of people have been killed by earth-quakes around the world — including 240,000 in the 1976 Tangshan earthquake in China.
A 60-second or less earthquake can cause devastation that continues for years after the first tremor (小震). In 1972, a series of severe earthquakes struck Managua, Nicaragua. Fifteen years later, the city still looked the way it had a week after the earthquake hit, because the country did not have the necessary money to rebuild it.
The shaking of the earth is sometimes not the greatest disaster. It is in the ensuing fires and floods that often the greatest damage occurs. In the 1906 earthquake, it was the fires caused after it that did the majority of the damage. An earthquake can also destroy dams high above a city or valleys, causing floods to sweep down and sweep away everything in their path.
1.Which of the following is the main idea of the first paragraph?
A.An earthquake comes from inside the earth. |
B.The earth has great energy in storage. |
C.How the earth plates move. |
D.How an earthquake happens. |
2.How many examples are used in the passage to show the damage and destruction earthquakes cause?
A.Three. | B.Four. | C.Five. | D.Six. |
3.Which of the following is mentioned to show that an earthquake can kill too many people?
A.The 1964 Alaskan quake. |
B.The 1976 Tangshan earthquake. |
C.The 1972 Managua earthquake. |
D.The 1906 earthquake. |
4.The underlined word “ensuing” in the last paragraph probably means ______.
A.causing too much heat and great damage |
B.causing many injuries and much destruction |
C.happening as a result of another event |
D.happening suddenly and unexpectedly |
5.By giving the example in Paragraph 4, the author wants to show that ______.
A.an earthquake doesn’t last long |
B.the damage can last long |
C.people in Managua suffered too much |
D.Nicaragua is still a poor country |
