But how many people know about the equally serious New Madrid fault in Missouri?Between December of 1811 and February of 1812, three major e

16、arthquakes occurred, all centered around the town of New Madrid, Missouri, on the Mississippi River. Property damage was severe. Buildings in the area were almost destroyed. Whole forests fell at once, and huge cracks opened in the ground, releasing some strong smell chemicals.The Mississippi River

17、itself completely changed character, developing sudden rapids and whirlpools(激流和漩涡). Several times it changed its course, and once, according to some observers, it actually appeared to run backwards. Few people were killed in the New Madrid earthquakes, probably simply because few people lived in th

18、e area in 1811; but the severity of the earthquakes was shown by the fact that the shock waves rang bells in church towers in Charleston, South Carolina, on the coast. Buildings shook in New York City, and clocks were stopped in Washington, DC.Scientists now know that America's two major faults

19、are essentially different. The San Andreas is a horizontal(水平的)boundary between two major land masses that are slowly moving in opposite directions. California earthquakes result when the two masses make a sudden move.The New Madrid fault, on the other hand, is a vertical fault; at some point, possi

20、bly hundreds of millions of years ago, rock was pushed up toward the surface, probably by volcanoes under the surface. Suddenly, the volcanoes cooled and the rock collapsed, leaving huge cracks. Even now, the rock continues to settle downwards, and sudden sinking motions cause earthquakes in the reg

21、ion. The fault itself, a large crack in this layer of rock, with dozens of other cracks that split off from it, extends from northeast Arkansas through Missouri and into southern Illinois.Scientists who have studied the New Madrid fault say there have been numerous smaller quakes in the area since 1

25、ult are still alive.答案：C推理判断题。本文无A、B两项相关内容；根据第五段中第二句“Suddenly, the volcanoes cooled and the rock collapsed, leaving huge cracks.

26、 in 1811”可以推测答案为C。BA powerful earthquake struck the northeastern coast of Japan at 2：46 p. m. local time on March 11th, 2011. Japan's Meteorological Agency released its first tsunami warnings just three minutes later. The country has one of the best earthquake early warning systems in the world.

27、There are over 4,000 Seismic Intensity Meters(地震烈度测量仪) in place throughout Japan to measure earthquake activity. These meters provide information within two minutes of an earthquake happening. Information about the strength and the center of the earthquake can be learned within three minutes. There

28、are also concrete sea walls around much of the Japanese coastline. But these measures proved no match for the powerful earthquake and tsunami.Castas Synolakis is a tsunami expert in Los Angeles. He says, “Japan is one of those most well­prepared countries on earth in terms of tsunami warning. T

29、hey had a warning. I think what went wrong is that they had not anticipated the size of this event.”He says there are two reasons for this.

30、ast of Japan.The 9.0­magnitude earthquake was the 4th most powerful earthquake ever recorded worldwide. It was also the worst earthquake ever to hit Japan. The tsunami waves that followed were reported to have reached as high as 13 meters in some areas.Costas Synolakis says Japan's concrete

31、 sea walls were not built to handle such high waves. A tsunami wave can travel as fast as 800 kilometers per hour. To get to higher ground people would often have to travel for many kilometers. This can take more time than a fast traveling tsunami will permit. This is especially true in cases like J

32、apan, where the center of the earthquake struck so close to the coastline. The tsunami waves followed almost immediately.Experts say early warning systems will continue to be limited by these_facts until earthquakes and tsunamis can be predicted.文章大意：本文是科技文。日本的地震预警系统位居世界前列，能在地震发生后的两分钟内提供信息。三分钟内能够提供有

33、关地震强度和震中的信息。在海啸预警方面，日本是世界上准备工作做得最充分的国家之一，但这次他们没有预测出这次海啸的规模如此之大。4From the second paragraph we can infer that_. AJapan is an island country Bthe center of the earthquake is located in the northeastern coast Cthe meters in Japan have dropped behind Dmany measures have been carried out to reduce the consequences of earthquakes in Japan答案：D推理判断题。A说法正确，但不是本段的推理；B不是由第二段推理得出的，是第一段中明示的信息。根据“These meters provide information within two m
