Many earthquakes begin under the sea. Earthquakes may happen anywhere on the earth. They often happen near mountains. During an earthquake,the shakings make rocks rise suddenly and even cracks(裂缝裂缝)open. Houses fall,people are killed and hurt,and sometimes whole villages or cities are destroyedCan we do something to keep ourselves safe from earthquakes? Scientists have studied earthquakes and make maps that show “earthquake belts”. In areas in these belts,its possible for earthquakes to happen. In these areas we can build strong houses to fight against earthquakes. In the future,scientists will be able to predict exactly when and where an earthquake will happen. They can also tell people what to do with it. 本文讲的是有关地震的一些情况。本文讲的是有关地震的一些情况。51. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. A Scientist and an EarthquakeB.

In the wilderness,everyone has a stunt(绝技绝技). Even plants have their own ways of fighting off enemies. Over millions of years of evolution(进化进化),plants have developed a unique defence system. Chemicals are widely used for survival. By making their leaves,flowers,roots and fruits distasteful or poisonous to enemies,plants can fight back. One such plant is the Golden Wattle tree, British scientist David Caneron has found when an animal eats the trees leaves, the amount of poison increases in the other leaves. “Its like the damaged leaves telephoning the others telling them to fight together against the enemy, ” he said. The tree also sends defence messages to neighboring plants by giving out a special smell. Golden Wattle trees in the surrounding 45 meters will get the message and produce more poison within 10 minutes. Now, if an enemy eats too many of the trees leaves, it will die. Every species of plant or tree is good at the production of a particular set of chemicals. A herbivore that can safely eat the leaves of one tree may be poisoned by its neighbor. In this way, plants have developed not only individual(个体个体) defence system, but also shared it with others. This makes it impossible for a single animal to destroy even a small area of forest. 本文主要讲述的是植物如何来对付它们的敌人。本文主要讲述的是植物如何来对付它们的敌人。55. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage? A.

They are moving from the peaceful hills, mountains, fields, rivers and streams of the countryside to the busy work of streets, buildings, traffic and crowds. This movement from rural areas to urban areas has been going on for over two hundred years. In many countries, the main reason people come to live in towns and cities is work. After one or two large factories have been built in or near a town, people come to find work, and soon an industrial area begins to grow. There is usually a residential(居住的居住的) area nearby where the factory workers can live. The families of these workers need schools, hospitals and shops, so many people come to live in the area to provide these services and a city grows. In every major city in the world, there is a business district where the big companies have their main offices. In the United States, this area is usually in the city center downtown. It is here that you can see the huge skyscraper office blocks. The people who work here often travel a long way to work each day. Many of them live in the suburbs of the city, far away from the industrial area and the city center. Some suburbs are very pleasant, with nice houses and big gardens. There are usually parks for children to play in and large department stores where you can buy all you need. But what is the future of the big cities? Will they continue to get bigger and bigger? Perhaps not. Some major cities have actually become smaller in the last ten years, and it is quite possible that one day we will see people moving out of the major cities and back into smaller towns and villages. 63.
