【答案解析】根据短文第四段目击者对当时的描述——许多墙上出现了裂痕，烟囱倒塌。由此我们可以知A。【答疑编 【答案解析】题干所说的英国最于1580年发生在伦敦，这与短文表述的事实不符。短文第七段第一句明白无误地说，英国最于1931年发生在北海。题句表达的信息是错误的。答案为B。【答疑编 【答案解析】题干说Musson在英格兰东南部迟早将发生另一次。这一说法与短文最后一段第三句所表A。【答疑编 【答案解析】短文第六段第一句说，全球每年发生强度为里氏4级左右的有几千次，但是这种中等强度的地震在英格兰很少发生。据此，读者可以容易地推断出，高震级的在英格兰就更少见了。答案为A。【答疑编 【答案解析】文章最后两句谈到了英国的现代系统。这一系统能在发生前几小时发出警报，帮助人A。【答疑编 【答案解析】题干说2007年4月28日的致使全英格兰都停电，与短文第一段第一句表达的内容不符。短文【答疑编
