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 (颤动).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 1986.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.

1.Which of the following is NOT true?

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.

2.Earthquakes often happen　　　　 .

A. near volcanoes　　　　　　　　 B. Both A and D

C. in Britain　　　　　　　　　　 D. in Japan

3.___________ make(s) more loss than the earthquake itself.

A. Nothing

B. Volcanoes

C. Forces inside the earth

D. Terrible waves by the earthquake

4.When an earthquake happens, ____________can be heard.

A. trains　　　　　　　　　　　　 B. thousands of people

C. a great noise　　　　　　 D. the powerful forces

Now, let’s talk about earthquakes on our planet. Some countries have large numbers of earthquakes. Japan is one of them. 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 (震动). Houses fall down. Trains run off the lines. Sometimes, there is a heavy loss of human lives.

Earthquakes often happen near volcanoes, but this is not always 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, also known as seismic waves(地震波), or tsunamis(海啸) can travel long distances and rush over the land when they reach it. They are strong enough to break down houses and other buildings. Very often fires follow the most serious earthquakes. In 1906, the numbers of fires were burning in the city. The water pipes were also shaken and broken, so it was not possible to put the fire out. There was no water. The Tokyo Earthquake of 1923 happened just before noon. People were cooking meals on their fires at that time. When the ground shook, the fires shook, too. Hot materials were thrown on the different parts of the houses, some of which were made of wood. Soon 134 fires were burning in the city.

What kind of building stands up best in an earthquake? A building with concrete walls is perhaps the best. A steel frame will make it even stronger. The frame holds the different parts together and the walls so not easily fall. There is less chance of fire because concrete and steel do not burn. Over the years, scientists studied the results of the earthquake in different parts of the world, and they are convinced that this kind of building is the safest.

1.What can we know about earthquake from the first paragraph?

A.Britain has large numbers of earthquake.

B.There is often a great noise during an earthquake.

C.There is a heavy loss of human lives in every earthquake.

D.Trains will not run off the lines during the earthquake.

2.Some of the undersea earthquakes were caused by ______.

A.the breakout of the volcano B.the seismic waves

C.the tsunami D.the powerful forces inside the earth

3.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A.A building with concrete walls and a steel frame stands up best in an earthquake.

B.There is no chance of fire in a building with concrete walls.

C.Scientist studied the causes of the earthquake to get the conclusion.

D.A steel frame has no help in making the house stronger.

4.This text is probably a ______.

A.book review B.popular science report

C.newspaper ad D.fairy tale
