9.Every year there are hundreds of earthquakes in different parts of the world.In September,1923,Tokyo and Yokohama were both destroyed by an earthquake and the fires that followed it.They had to be completely rebuilt.One of the most serious earthquakes was in China's Shanxi province in 1556.It killed almost one million people.
We measure an earthquake's strength on the Richter Scale.The Richter Scale was introduced in 1935in Southern California in the USA.It measures earthquakes on a scale of one to ten.Any earthquake measuring five or more is usually serious.
The Earth's crust(地殼) is made up of rock called plates.As these plates move,they sometimes crash against each other,causing the crust to quake.In cities such as Tokyo,where small quakes happen quite often,many modern buildings are designed to be flexible so when the Earth moves,they move with it.
Earthquakes can also break up gas and oil pipes.This can cause fires to break out,which can do as much damage as the earthquake itself.
Another effect of earthquakes is tsunamis. These are huge waves created by earthquakes beneath the sea.They can be many meters high and cause great damage to coastal towns and cities,China,Japan,Russia and the USA have the highest occurrence(發(fā)生) of earthquakes in the world.
21.The passage is mainly aboutC.
A.scientists who study earthquakes     
B.the way of measuring earthquakes
C.a(chǎn) usual natural disaster

A.don't cause much damage                
B.a(chǎn)re not serious

A.can cause earthquakes
B.a(chǎn)re caused by earthquakes
C.only happen on land
D.a(chǎn)re a way of measuring earthquakes.

1.Silly birthday cards were always the norm(規(guī)范) in my family.Cards with messages of love were viewed with embarrassment(尷尬) in our family.Looking back now,I don't remember the words"I love you"(23)C being spoken.

4.Our planet Earth is comparatively small,with only about 24,902miles around the equator (赤道).Its surface area may seem largest at 196,935,000sq.miles,but of this,70% is covered by sea.The actual land surface covers some 57,500,000sq.miles-29% of the total surface area.
Once again,this seems vast until we take into account the largely uninhabited(未居住的)regions such as the huge wastes of the Arctic and Antarctic,the deserts and wetlands.These regions are not always totally uninhabited,but they can usually support only very small populations.
At present there is still enough space on Earth for humans and wildlife,but what of the future?Our world cannot grow any larger,yet the human population keeps growing every year!As of July 2008,there were almost 6.7billion people on the planet,and current estimates (估計(jì)) suggest that the population could be as high as 9.1billion by as soon as 2050.
While the birthrate is slowing a little in parts of the Northern Hemisphere(半球),in many other parts of the world,including developing countries,populations continue to grow.This population explosion is responsible for most world environmental problems today; so whether our main concern is to breathe cleaner air,to drink purer water,to eliminate (消除) pollution,to protect wildlife and countryside,to produce more food to eat or to reach a higher standard of living generally,our chances of achieving any of these things become faint as the population increases sharply.The Earth's resources are vast but limited.We have a tendency to look to the short-term,rather than seeing the bigger picture of the future.
This is why it is so important that young people learn about looking after the planet-so that future generations of adults act responsibly with regard to(關(guān)于) the environment and create a future that is continuable,both for humans and all the other species with which we share our world.
29.What does the author worry aboutA
A.Whether there is enough space for creatures in the future.
B.The Earth is turning smaller and smaller.
C.How to find ways to live in uninhabited regions.
D.What people will live on in the future.
30.According to the text,we can infer thatA.
A.the population will increase by 0.6billion every ten years
B.the birthrate around the equator is a little low
C.population explosion is caused by environmental problems
D.more population brings more resources
31.What does the underlined word"faint"meanC
A.Important.
B.Necessary.
C.Slight.
D.Interesting.
32.Which of the following ideas is suggested by the authorB
A.Taking strong measures to control the birthrate.
B.Calling on the young to care for the planet.
C.Saving the Earth's natural resources.
D.Protecting the endangered species.

14.A typical lion tamer(馴獸師)in people's mind is an entertainer holding a whip( 鞭) at a chair.The whip gets all of the attention,but it's mostly for show.In reality,it's the chair that does the important work.When a lion tamer holds a chair in front of the lion's face,the lion tries to focus on all four legs of the chair at the same time.With its focus divided,the lion becomes confused and is unsure about what to do next.When faced with so many options,the lion chooses to freeze and wait instead of attacking the
man holding the chair.
How often do you find yourself in the same position as the lion?How often do you have something you want to achieve (e.g.lose weight,start a business,travel more)-only to end up confused by all of the options in front of you and never make progress?
This upsets me to no end because while all the experts are busy debating about which option is best the people who want to improve their lives are left confused by all of the conflicting information.The end result is that we feel like we can't focus or that we're focused on the wrong things,and so we take less action,make less progress,and stay the same when we could be improving.
It doesn't have to be that way.Anytime you find the world waving a chair in your face,remember this:All you need to do is focus on one thing.You just need to get started.Starting before you feel ready is one of the habits of successful people.If you have somewhere you want to go,something you want to accomplish,someone you want to become…take immediate action.If you're clear about where you want to go,the rest of the world will either help you get there or get out of the way.

24.Why does the lion tamer use a chair?A
A.To trick the lion.
B.To show off his skills.
C.To get ready for a fight.
D.To entertain  the audience.
25.In what sense are people similar to a lion facing a chair?B
A.They hold on to the wrong things.
B.They feel puzzled over choices.
C.They find it hard to make changes.
D.They have to do something for show
26.What is the author's attitude towards the expert mentioned in Paragraph3?D
A.Tolerant.
B.Supportive.
C.Respectful.
D.Doubtful.
27.When the world is"waving a chair in your face",you're advised toC
A.wait for a better chance                      
B.break your old habits
C.make a quick decision                          
D.a(chǎn)sk for clear guidance.

Home from the Navy, I started school at Greenville College in my hometown of Illinois. I’d been out of high school for four years, but my high school headmaster, Mr. Gardner, invited me to a Valentine’s day dance party at school. The thought of seeing my former teachers was exciting. So I agreed.

When Friday came, I cleaned up, dressed up and drove to the high school gym. I chatted with my teachers and approached Mr. Gardner to thank him before leaving. Just then, the band started playing and a young girl stood up to sing. One look at and I was crazy—I had never seen such a beautiful girl!

I asked Mr. Gardner who she was, and he answered, “That’s Marilyn Riley, Cut Riley’s daughter.” I was shocked to say the least. They lived just around the corner from me. I walked across the gym floor to introduce myself, “Hi, I’m Jack Joseph.”

“I know who you are,” was her not-too-friendly response.

“Would you like to dance?” I asked. “No! I’m working,” she shot back.

“Can I call you next week for a movie date?” I asked. “No,” was her response.

For the next month I phoned, trying to set up a date. She always had the same answer: No. then one rainy afternoon in March as I was driving home after basketball practice, I saw Marilyn, walking with no umbrella, no raincoat, no hat. I pulled alongside her and asked if she needed a ride, half expecting her to say no. instead, she stepped over the roadside and sat down on the seat next to me. It was only a few blocks to her house, but after pulling into her driveway we talked for 45minutes. It was magic from then on.

A. The party was hold to welcome him back home

B. Marilyn would be introduced to him at the party
