The underlined sentence in the first paragraph probably means that the author had a feeling that _.A. the sea wave made him upsetB. he wanted to do something specialC. a wave from the sea flooded him D. he wanted to make a sea wave in his heartB 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 earths surface caused by the earths rocky outer layer as a result of the energy stored within the earth. The strain(应力) 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 injuries 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 earthquakes 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 earthquakes 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. 46. 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 an earthquake happens.D. How the earth plates move.47. How many examples are used in the passage to show the damage and destruction earthquakes cause?A. Three. B. Five.C. Four. D. Six.48. Which of the following is mentioned to show that an earthquake can kill too many people?A. The 1976 Tangshan earthquake. B. The 1964 Alaskan quake.C. The 1972 Managua earthquake. D. The 1906 earthquake.49. The underlined word “ensuing” in the last paragraph probably means _.A. causing too much heat and great damage B. causing many injuries and much destructionC. happening suddenly and unexpectedlyD. happening as a result of another event 50. By giving the example in Paragraph 4, the author wants to show that _.A. an earthquake doesnt last long B. people in Managua suffered too muchC. the damage can last long D. Nicaragua is still a poor country C How can you build more word-of-mouth advertising (口碑广告)? In other words, why would your customers want to talk to their friends about their experience of doing business with you? When you perform your service or deliver your product competently (出色地), you are just doing what the customer expects. (If you dont meet the customers expectations, they may tell their friends what you dont want them to hear!) In order to increase the number of the customers who want to share their good experience with their friends, you must make your service impressive, going beyond what is expected. Recently my daughter Dawn and I had lunch with my team members at the Campbell House. The food and service were truly excellent. My daughter asked for her leftovers (剩菜) to be packed. They were returned to her in aluminum foil (铝箔) shaped like a swan(天鹅). Guess what she talked about when she got home? How much more do you think it cost the Campbell House to produce that “Wow!” experience? Answer not a cent! Disneyland should be an inspiration to us all in providing a “Wow!” experience. What do people talk to their friends about when they come home? “You should have seen how clean that park was! With all of the people there, its unbelievable! Theres not even a gum wrapper on the ground!” Walt Disney understood that cleanliness is marketing. 51. According to the passage, customers would like to share their good experience with their friends if _. A. the service is better than they expected. B. the price of the service is low enough. C. what they need is provided on time.D. the after-sale service is good enough. 52. How did Dawn feel the moment she saw her packed leftovers? A. Disappointed and angry.B. Excited and crazy.C. Surprised and pleased. D. Worried and unhappy.53. By saying “Answer not a cent!” the author seems to believe that _. A. it is always possible to satisfy all of the customersB. the service should be as cheap as possible.C. most customers are easy to do business with. D. sometimes it is easy to provide a good experience. 54. According to the last paragraph, what impresses Disneylands visitors most is that _. A. it is more crowded than other theme parks. B. it is much cleaner than they can imagine.C. it offers so many exciting adventures. D. there are so many interesting things to see. 55. For whom is the passage most likely written? A. Businessmen.

Your task: find the missing person; provide emergency medical treatment, if necessary; and be prepared to operate 48 hours on your own with only the supplies you carry.Sounds like some kind of films plot (情节)? Not if youre a member of the Arapahoe teen rescue patrol (阿拉帕霍少年搜救队) in the suburbs of Denver. About 25 teen guys and girls are active members of this search, rescue and emergency organization, and they know firsthand that you dont have to be an adult to save lives.These 9th-through-12th graders are the real deal when it comes to emergency services. In fact, theyre the only teen-commanded patrol in the nation. Sure they have adult advisers to turn to if necessary, but in the field its a teen patrol officer calling the shots sometimes even giving direction to adults.Members are trained in rock-high-angle，swift-water and avalanche rescue (雪崩施行营救), winter and alpine operation (高山营救训练), wilderness life support and emergency care, among other skills. They also regularly ride along with the local fire and police departments, providing support such as security details and evidence searching.When asked what qualities make a good patrol member, founder and president Stan Bush named good physical conditioning and an interest in helping people. “We put in lots and lots of hours helping people in trouble,” he says. “So if a person is not really interested in doing that kind of thing, he wont last as a member.”56.
