Everyone who lives in San Francisco knows that earthquakes are mon in the bay area and they can be devastating． In 1906， for example， a major quake destroyed about 28， 000 buildings and killed hundreds， perhaps thousands of people． Residents now wonder when the nextBig Onewill strike． It39。s bound to happen someday． At least seven active fault(斷層 )lines run through the San Francisco area． Faults are places where pieces of Earth39。s crust(地殼 )slide past each other． When these pieces slip， the ground shakes． To prepare for that day, scientists are using new techniques to reanalyze the 1906 earthquake and predict how bad the damage might be when the next one happens． One new finding about the 1906 earthquake is that the San Andreas fault split apart faster than scientists had assumed at the time． During small earthquakes， faults rupture(斷裂 )at about kilometers per second． During bigger quakes， however， ruptures can happen at rates faster than kilometers per second． At such high speeds． massive amounts of pressure build up， generating underground waves that can cause more damage than the quake itself． Lucky for San Francisco， these pressure pulses(脈沖 )travel away from the city during the 1906 event． As bad as the damage was， it could have been far worse． Looking ahead， scientists are trying to predict when the next major quake will occur． Records show that earthquakes were mon before 1906． Since then， the earthquake has been relatively quiet． Patterns in the data， however， suggest that the probability of a major earthquake striking the Bay Area before 2032 is at least 62 percent． New buildings in San Francisco are quite safe in case of future quakes． Still， more than 84 percent of the city39。s buildings are old and weak． Analyses suggest that another massive earthquake would cause extensive damage． People who live there tend to feel safe because San Francisco has remained pretty quiet for a while． According to the new reseaych， however， it39。s not a matter ofif the Big One will hit． It39。s just a matter of when． 16． The San Francisco area is located above several active fault lines． A． Right B． Wrong C． Not mentioned 17． The 1906 earthquake in San Francisco is the most severe one in American history． A． Right B． Wrong C． Not mentioned 18． The highest speed of fault ruptures in the 1906 quake was more than kilometers per second. A． Right B． Wrong C． Not mentioned 19． Earthquakes rarely happened before 1906． A． Right B． Wrong C． Not mentioned 20． San Francisco is fully prepared for another big earthquake． A． Right B． Wrong C． Not mentioned 21． Scientist will be able to predict the exact time of an earthquake soon． A． Right B． Wrong C． Not mentioned 22． A major earthquake striking San Francisco someday is inevitable． A． Right B． Wrong C． Not mentioned 第 3 部分：概括大意與完成 句子 (第 23～ 30 題，每題 1 分，共 8 分 ) 下面的短文后有 2 項測試任務(wù)： (1)第 2326 題要求從所給的 6 個選項中為第 2～ 5 段每段選擇 1 個最佳標題； (2)第 27～ 30 題要求從所給的 6 個選項中為每個句子確定 1 個最佳選項。 Natural Gas Natural gas is produced from reservoirs deep beneath the earth39。s surface． It is a fossil fuel， meaning that it is derived from anic material buried in the earth millions of years main ponent of natural gas is methane(甲烷 ). The popularity and use of clean natural gas has increased dramatically over the past 50 years as Dipeline infrastructure(基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施 )has been installed to deliver it conveniently and economically to millions of residential， mercial and industrial customers worldwide． Today， natural gas service is available in all 50 states， and is the leading energy choice for fueling American homes and industries． More than 65 million American homes use natural gas． In fact， natural gas is the most economical source for home energy needs， costing onethird as much as electricity.
