B.11million

C.10million

D.Morethan1million

61.Accordingtothetext,wecansaythat.

A.earthquakescanbepreventedfromhappening

B.citiesbuiltonearthquakebeltscanbemovedintime

C.lossesanddeathscausedbyearthquakescanbereducedwithhumanefforts

D.nothingcanbedonewithearthquakes

解析：选C推理判断题。由第二段最后一句可知，地震中人们的死亡并非都是地震本身造成的，更

多的是倒塌的建筑物、桥梁等造成的，因此人们可以通过努力减少死亡人数和损失。

62.Whatdoestheunderlinedpart“onedisaster^^inthelastparagraphreferto?

A.Theearthquake.

B.Man'smismanagementofnaturalresources.

C.Thetextdoesn'ttellus.

使用。

A.introducingusallkindsofdisastersintheworld

B.warningusthatthedisastersareverydangerousandevencankillpeople

C.tellingusthatthedisastersareunavoidable

D.tellingusthatweshouldberesponsibleanddosomethingtoreducethelossescausedbythedisasters

解析：选D写作意图题。文章第一段列举了一些自然灾害；第二段以地震为例，说明我们可以通过

提高建筑质量来减少死亡人数；最后一段说人类对自然资源的不合理利用会导致灾害，来号召我们要增强

责任心，减小灾难造成的损失。由此可见D项正确。
