一、句子改错（共 5道小题，共 25.0分） 1. It is very important that the students voice is heard by the authorities of all our schools. A B C D A. A B. B C. C D. D 知识 点: Identification1 学生 答案: B;标准答案: B 得分: 5 试题分值: 5.0 提示: 答案：B.改为 be heard。Important 后面的从句要 用特殊的虚拟语气（should+do，should 可以省略） 。本句大意是“让学生的声音被学校的领导听见， 这是很重要的。” 2.

Scientists in the United States have developed a method that may help to predict earthquakes earlier. They say it could give people who live in deadly earthquake areas enough warning to leave before an earthquake hits. Currently, the most modern systems for predicting earthquakes find them only a short time before the event. Like most strong earthquakes, the one that hit southwestern China in May was not identified early enough for people to flee the area. That earthquake killed sixty-nine thousand people. But scientists who study earthquakes are reporting that new technology could measure very small changes in the Earths surface. Their report was published this month in Nature magazine. Fenglin Niu is a seismologist （地震学家）with Rice University in Houston, Texas. He and his team performed experiments along Californias San Andreas Fault, an area famous for its many earthquakes. The team placed highly sensitive electrical devices about one kilometer below ground in two different places. The devices were able to measure even small changes in air pressure on the Earths surface. The scientists say such changes are caused when rocks push together, forcing air out of small cracks in the rock. When this happens, seismic （地震的）waves travel faster than usual through the rock. （203 字） 1. The method developed by some scientists in the United States can be used to _.
