A fault is a fracture in the crust (地壳) of the earth along which rocks on one side have moved relative to those on the other side. Stresses in the earths outer layer push the sides of the fault together, build up and the rocks slips suddenly, releasing energy in waves that travel through the rock to cause the shaking that we feel during an earthquake.Earthquakes tend to be concentrated in narrow zones. There are 7 major crustal plates on earth, about 80 km thick, all in constant motion relative to one another. They move at between 10 and 130 mm per year.It is estimated that there are several million earthquakes in the world each year. Many of these earthquakes go undetected（未探查的） because they occur in remote areas or have very small magnitudes (震级). The USGS Earthquake Information Center locates 12,000 to 14,000 earthquakes each year (about 35 per day). On average, about 60 earthquakes per year are classified as significant, with 19 classified as major. A significant earthquake is one of magnitude 6.5 or higher or one of lesser magnitude that causes casualties (伤亡) or considerable damage. Major earthquakes have a magnitude larger than 7.0.1.The main idea of the passage is _. A) how earthquakes are formed and classified B) how earthquakes can be predicted and located C) earthquakes do not so often occur on the earth D) earthquakes are considered to be a threat to humans2. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in this passage? _ A) Earthquakes of large magnitudes cause casualties. B) Earthquakes often happen in narrow zones. C) Earthquakes involve the release of energy. D) Earthquakes can cause waves in the sea.3. What can we learn from the passage? _ A) Scientists can locate most earthquakes. B) Earthquakes are very common on the earth. C) Scientists can find a way to prevent earthquakes. D) More earthquakes of higher magnitudes are detected than those of lower ones.4. How do scientists distinguish a significant earthquake from a major earthquake? _ A) A significant earthquake is of higher magnitude. B) A significant earthquake can kill more people. C) A major earthquake is of higher magnitude. D) A major earthquake is of lower magnitude.5. The word fracture (Line 1, Paragraph 1) most probably means _. A) a stress in the crustB) a large hole in the rockC) an outer layer of the crustD) a cracked part in the rockPassage TwoIt was a happy combination of mountains, sea, and sun which made farming become the leading industry of the Southern Colonies (殖民地). The ocean made plentiful clouds, the clouds hitting the mountains made plentiful rain, the rain washing down the mountains for thousands of years had built a wide plain of fertile (肥沃的) soil. The rivers which had brought down the soil were steep（险峻的） near the mountains, but near the coast they were wide and rolling, deep enough for the small boats of the time to sail for miles. It was far enough south for the summers to be hot, so that the growing season lasted from six months in Maryland to about nine in South Carolina. If you add these ideal farming conditions to the early discovery of a New World crop which was always in demand in the Old World, you will readily understand why the Southern Colonies became a farming group.Tobacco! This was the breath of life in Virginia, the oldest of the Southern Colonies. Men talked, thought, and bought in tobacco. It was a farming country, and other crops were also grown, but while the Southerner might have competition in the production of fruits and grains (wheat and rice and barley大麦), in tobacco he was a master. Tobacco! It was a magic word. Everything revolved around its production and it had a tremendous effect upon life in the South.6. A New World crop in the last sentence of the 1st paragraph most probably refers to _. A) wheat B) riceC) tobacco D) barley7. According to this passage ideal farming conditions in the Southern Colonies mainly consisted of _. A) a long coast and high mountains B) plentiful rain and the long growing season C) hot summers and steep mountain rivers D) plentiful clouds and deep soil8. Which of the following was NOT a factor that makes the Southern Colonies become a farming group? _ A) Competition in producing fruits and grains. B) The early discovery of a New World crop. C) Favorable geographical location. D) Ideal farming conditions.9. Tobacco was said to be a magic word because _. A) it brought a big profit to the Southern Colonies B) tobacco was in steady demand in the Old World C) the Southerner had co
