10、t be when the next one happens One new finding about the 1906 quake is that the San Andreas Fault split apart faster than scientists had assumed at the timeDuring small earthquakes，faults rupture(断裂)at about 2.7 kilometers per secondDuring bigger quakes，however，ruptures can happen at rates faster th
11、an 3.5 kilometers per second At such high speeds，massive amounts of pressure build up，generating underground waves that can cause more damage than the quake itselfLucky for San Francisco，these pressure pulses(脉冲)traveled away from the city during the 1906 eventAs bad as the damage was，it could have
12、been far worse Looking ahead，scientists are trying to predict when the next major quake will occurRecords show that earthquakes were common before 1906Since then，the area has been relatively quietPatterns in the data，however，suggest that the probability of a major earthquake striking the Bay Area be

20、ds(小行星) now, one might crash into Earth and destroy life as we know it, say some scientists.Asteroids are bigger versions of the meteoroids(流星) that reace across the night sky. Most orbit the sun far from Earth and dont threaten us. But there are also thousands of asteroids whose orbits put them on
21、a collision course with Earth.Buy $ 50 million worth of now telescopes right now. Then spend $ 10 million a year for the next 25 years to locate most of the space rocks. By the time we spot a fatal one, the scientists say, well have a way to change its course.Some scientists favor pushing asteroids
22、off course with nuclear weapons. But the cost wouldnt be cheap.Is it worth it? Two things experts consider when judging any risk are: 1) How likely the event is; and 2) How bad the consequences if the event occurs. Experts think an asteroid big enough to destroy lots of life might strike Earth once
23、every 500,000 years. Sounds pretty rare but if one did fall, it would be the end of the world. “If we dont take care of these big asteroids, theyll take care of us,“ says one scientist. “It s that simple.“The cure, though, might be worse than the disease. Do we really want fleets of nuclear weapons
24、sitting around on Earth? “The world has less to fear from doomsday(毁灭性) rocks than from a great nuclear fleet set against them,“ said a New York Times article.（分数：15.00）(1).What does the passage say about asteroids and meteoroids?A.

Asteroids are more mysterious than meteoroids.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(2).What do scientists say about the collision of an asteroid with Earth?A. It is very unlikely but the danger exists.B. Such a collision might occur once every
26、25 years.C. Collisions of smaller asteroids with Earth occur more often than expected.D. Its still too early to say whether such a collision might occur.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(3).What do people think of the suggestion of using nuclear weapons to alter the course of asteroids?A. It sounds practical but it
27、 may not solve the problem.B. It may create more problems than it might solve.C. It is a waste of money because a collision of asteroids with Earth is very unlikely.D. Further research should be done before it is proved applicable.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(4).We can conclude from the passage that_.A. while
28、pushing asteroids off course nuclear weapons would destroy the worldB. asteroids racing across the night sky are likely to hilt Earth in the near futureC. the worry about asteroids can be left to future generations since it is unlikely to happen in our lifetimeD. workable solutions still have to be

Arbitrary.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.六、第二篇(总题数：1，分数：15.00)Where Have All the Frogs Gone?In the 1980s, scientists around th
30、e world began to notice something strange: Frogs were disappearing. More recent research has shown that many kinds of amphibians (两栖动物) are declining or have become extinct. They have been around for a long time - over 350 million years. Why are they dying out now?Scientists are seriously concerned
31、about this question. First of all, amphibians are an important source of scientific and medical knowledge. By studying amphibians, scientists have learned about new substances that could be very useful for treating human diseases. Further research could lead to many more discoveries, but that will b
32、e impossible if the amphibians disappear.The most serious aspect of amphibian loss, however, goes beyond the amphibians themselves. Scientists are beginning to think about what amphibian decline means for the planet as a whole. If the earth is becoming unlivable for amphibians, is it also becoming u
33、nlivable for other kinds of animals and human, beings as well?Scientists now believe that amphibian decline is due to several environmental factors. One of these factors is the destruction of habitat, the natural area where an animal lives. Amphibians are very sensitive to changes in their habitat.
34、If they cannot find the right conditions, they will not lay their eggs. These days, as wild areas are covered with houses, roads, farms, or factories, many kinds of amphibians are no longer laying eggs. For example, the arroyo toad (蟾蜍) of southern California will only lay its eggs on the sandy bott
35、om of a slow-moving stream. There are very few streams left in southern California, and those streams are often muddy because of building projects. Not surprisingly, the arroyo toad is now in danger of extinction.There are a number of other factors in amphibian decline. Pollution is one of them. In
36、many industrial areas, air pollution has poisoned the rain, which then falls on ponds and kills the frogs and toads that live there. In farming areas, the heavy use of chemicals on crops has also killed off amphibians. Another factor is that air pollution has led to increased levels of ultraviolet (
37、UV) light. This endangers amphibians, which seem to be especially sensitive to UV light. And finally, scientists have discovered a new disease that seems to be killing many species of amphibians in different parts of the world.All these reasons for the disappearance of amphibians are also good reaso
38、ns for more general concern. The destruction of land, the pollution of the air and the water, the changes in our atmosphere, the spread of diseases - these factors affect human beings, too. Amphibians are especially sensitive to environmental change. Perhaps they are like the canary (金丝雀) bird that
39、coal miners once used to take down into the mines to detect poisonous gases. When the canary became iii or died, the miners knew that dangerous gases were near and their own lives were in danger.（分数：15.00）(1).Losing amphibians means losingA. knowledge about fatal human diseases.B. knowledge about ai

41、isappearing becauseA. it has been threatened by frogs.B. it is losing its habitat.C. a disease has been killing its eggs.D. it cant bear the cold of winter,（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(4).Coal miners once used the canary bird to detectA. poisonous gases.B. air pollution.C. water leakage.D. radiation.（分数：3.00）A
42、.B.C.D.(5).Scientists think that the decline of amphibians couldA. cause environmental change.B. cause a decline in other kinds of animals.C. be a warning signal for human beings.D. be a good sign for human beings.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.七、第三篇(总题数：1，分数：15.00)The IcemanOn a September day in 1991，two Germans
43、 were climbing the mountains between Austria and Italy High up on a mountain pass，they found the body of a man lying on the iceAt that height(10,499 feet， or 3,200 meters)，the ice is usually permanent，but 1991 had been an especially warm yearThe mountain ice had melted more than usual and so the bod
