This map shows the chances of an earthquake in each part of the country. The areas of the map where earthquakes are most likely to occur are called earthquake belts. The government is spending a great deal of money and is working hard to help to discover the answers to these two questions：Can we predict earthquakes?Can we control earthquakes?To answer the first question, scientists are looking very closely at the most active fault (断层) systems in the country, such as the San Andreas fault in California. A fault is a break between two sections of the earth's surface. These breaks between sections are the places where earthquakes occur. Scientists look at the faults for changes which might show that an earthquake was about to occur. But it will probably be many years before we can predict earthquakes correctly. And the control of earthquakes is even farther away.However, there have been some interesting developments in the field of controlling earthquakes. The most interesting development concerns the Rocky Mountain Arsenal earthquakes. Here water was put into a layer of rocks 4,000 metres below the surface of the ground. Shortly after this injection (注射) of water, there was a small number of earthquakes. Scientists have decided that the water which was injected into the rocks worked like oil on each other.When the water “oiled” the fault, the fault became slippery and the energy of an earthquake was given out. Scientists are still experimenting at the site of these earthquakes. They have realized that there is a connection between the injection of the water and the earthquake activity. They have suggested that it might be possible to use this knowledge to prevent very big, dangerous earthquakes, that is, scientists could inject some kind of fluid like water into faults and change one big earthquake into a number of small, harmless earthquakes.【语篇解读】为了提高人们对地震的防范意识，美国政府加大了在防震、预测方面的投入，他们甚至在努力采取措施控制地震的发生。1Earthquakes belts are _.Amaps that show where earthquakes are likely to occurBzones with a high probability of earthquakesCbreaks between two sections of the earth's surfaceDthe two layers of earth along a fault答案与解析：B细节理解题。根据第一段的第三句可知，地震多发地带被称为“earthquake belts”。2The San Andreas fault is _. Aan active fault system Ba place where earthquakes have been predicted correctly Ca place where earthquakes have been controlled Dat the foot of the Rocky Mountain答案与解析：A细节理解题。根据第二段可知，该地区为地震比较活跃的地区。3What did scientists learn about earthquakes at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal? AThey occur at about 4,000 metres below ground level. BThe injection of water into earthquake faults prevents earthquakes from occurring. CThey are usually caused by the oil in the faults. DHarmful earthquakes could be prevented by causing harmless earthquakes.答案与解析：D细节理解题。根据最后一段尾句可知。4What can be said about the experiments at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal?AThey have no practical value in earthquake prevention.BThey may have practical value in earthquake prevention.CThey are certain to have practical value in earthquake prevention.DNothing is told about their practical value in earthquake prevention.答案与解析：B推理判断题。根据科学家的试验，通过向断裂带注水可以引发小地震，从而使地震的能量得到释放，因此也就降低了大地震爆发的可能。BOne thing that seems to hold a lot of people back from setting and achieving big goals is the need for security (安全). Security is a feeling of certainty that everything is OK and that all your basic needs will be provided for. On the surface there's nothing wrong with that. It's great to feel secure. Abraham Maslow lists it as one of the basic human needs. If we don't feel secure, we can't move onto higher levels like love and achievement. If we have doubts about paying the rent at the end of the month, how can we possibly go after our really big dreams?So how is it that some people are able to start a new business while completely broke? Do business risk takers simply have a lower need for security?If you read the stories of very successful people, you see a common pattern (模式) again and again from an external (外部的) point of view, most of these people were not in a secure situation when they started going after their dreams. Sylvester Stallone was so broke that he had to sell his dog. Tony Robbins did his dishes in his bathroom because his small apartment had no kitchen. Brian Tracy was a day laborer. Og Mandino was a homeless drunk who went into libraries to stay warm. While some successful people start out with a lot of advantages, most don't.Meanwhile, how is it that others who seem to be in a far more secure situation are paralyzed from taking action? People who have some money in the bank, a nice home, and a highlypaid job still don't feel secure. Meanwhile, others with far worse starting positions pass them by. Why?The reason isn't that some people need security more than others. I think everyone needs to feel secure. The difference, however, is that the successful risk takers define security internally (内部地) while others define security externally.【语篇解读】本文是议论文。安全感是一种人类与生俱来的需求，可是，成功人士与普通人对安全感的定义并不相同。5What's the first paragraph mainly about?AThe importance of security.BThe ways to achieve security.CThe different kinds of security.DThe advantages of having security.答案与解析：A段落大意题。第一段虽然也涉及安全感的定义，但是主要是说明安全感对我们的重要性。作者先指出安全感是“one of the basic human needs”，接下来又做出两种假设，来说明缺乏安全感的后果。因此A项正确。6The examples in Paragraph 3 show that many successful people _.Ahad a low need for securityBcould get security very easilyCstarted from a disadvantaged situationDwent through difficulties on the road to success答案与解析：C推理判断题。由第三段可知，作者列举的都是一些成功人士，他们在刚开始都是穷困潦倒或处境艰难，由此判断C项正确。7Which of the following can replace the underlined word “paralyzed” in Paragraph 4?APrevented. BExpected.CProtected. DEncouraged. 答案与解析：A词义猜测题。上文提到那些成功人士往往起步时处境极其艰难。根据下文可知，那些经济富足、处境优越的人依然感到不安全，也就是说他们不愿意采取行动去冒险，故A项正确。8How are those successful people different from common people in terms of security?AThe way they achieve it.BThe way they understand it.CThe degree to which they feel it.DThe degree to which they need it.答案与解析：B细节理解题。根据最后一段可知，那些成功的冒险者借助内部来定义安全感，而普通人借助外部来定义安全感。这也是这两类人在安全感方面最大的区别，因此B项正确。.阅读填句Most of us lead a busy life. _1_ We think, “If I reached my goal, then I would be happy.” or “If I could get a better job, then I would enjoy life.” But why not enjoy life right now?Firstly, take time to notice and appreciate the beauty in your own surroundings (环境). _2_ “There is a great big world of wonder and beauty around us！” And as Brodersen explains, “Look for the beauty of the sunrise and of a friend's smile that brightens your day. Open your eyes to see the beauty you might not normally see. Doing so helps to cheer you up.”Secondly, taking time to experience some simple pleasures also can bring joy to your heart and reduce your stress. Take me for example. _3_ One universal simple pleasure is finding things that make you laugh. Make time to laugh every day.Thirdly, don't take your family and friends for granted. Rich, rewarding relationships add greatly to the enjoyment of life. When you think of someone, why not call, email or write then? _4_ As Wayne Lawton explains, “Invest (投入) time in relationships. Remove the attitude, what's in it for me? Happiness is found in putting other's interests, desires and concerns ahead of our own whenever possible. Selfishness (自私) is a deadend street.”_5_ ADiscover the beauty in nature. BSo please treasure relationship. CYou don't need to travel far to find beauty. DDriven by the “urgent”， we forget to enjoy life. EIn my spare time, I enjoy collecting stamps and reading novels. FA short email or phone call can make a world of difference to someone. GI delight in simple things like my favorite tea drink, a bubble bath or family photos.答案：1.D2.C3.G4.F5.B
