簡(jiǎn)答題（共3小題；每小題1.5分，滿分4.5分）

Tsunamis (海嘯) are a series of huge waves created by an underground movement such as an earthquake or a volcanic eruption (火山噴發(fā)) . A tsunami can travel hundreds of miles per hour in the open ocean and hit the land with huge waves.

From the area where the tsunamis come, waves travel in all directions. Once the waves approach the coast, they will become more than 100 feet in height. The topography (地形) of the coastline and the ocean floor will influence the size of the wave. There may be more than one wave and the latter one may be larger than the one before. That is why a small tsunami at one beach can be a huge wave a few miles away.

All tsunamis are dangerous, even if they may not damage every coastline they strike. A tsunami can strike anywhere along most of the US coastline. Many harmful tsunamis have occurred along the coasts of California, Oregon, Washington, Alaska and Hawaii.

A movement of the ocean floor, caused by earthquakes, most often causes tsunamis. If a tsunami occurs close to a coast, the first wave could reach the beach in a few minutes, even before a warning is given. Areas are at greater risk if they are less than 25 feet above sea level and within a mile of the coastline. Drowning is the most common cause of death during a tsunami. Tsunami waves are very harmful to buildings. Other dangers include floods, pollution of drinking water, and fires from gas lines.

An accurate prediction (預(yù)報(bào)) system will allow authorities (官方) to issue timely warnings and save lives in the event of a shore-bound tsunami. But forecasting tsunamis accurately is very difficult because the ocean is usually calm before they strike land.

65. What can cause tsunamis according to the passage? ( 回答詞數(shù)不超過(guò)6個(gè) )

 

66. What harm can a tsunami bring besides killing people and damaging buildings? ( 回答詞數(shù)不超過(guò)15個(gè) )

 

67. Why is it very difficult to forecast tsunami accurately ? ( 回答詞數(shù)不超過(guò)9個(gè) )

 

【答案】

 

65. Underground movements.

66. Floods, pollution of drinking water, and fires from gas lines. 

67. Because usually there are no warnings before they occur.

【解析】略

第二節(jié)  簡(jiǎn)答題（共3小題，每小題2分，滿分6分）

閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)73-75題的具體要求，簡(jiǎn)要回答問(wèn)題。

Shanghai is the largest city in China. About eleven million people make their homes in Shanghai and its suburbs. This extremely large city spreads out along the banks of the Huang Pu River, which flows into the mouth of the Yangtze River about fourteen miles north of here. Large oceangoing ships travel to Shanghai by way of the Yangtze and the Huang Pu.

Shanghai was a small, unimportant city until 1842 when China lost a war with Great Britain. The British realized that Shanghai was in an excellent location to serve as a seaport for the densely（密集） populated Yangtze River Plain. They forced the Chinese to allow English traders to settle on the wastelands outside the city walls. Later, French, American, and Japanese traders also came to Shanghai. The foreigners built whole new sections of Shanghai, including homes, stores, factories, and office buildings. Thousands of Chinese poured into Shanghai in search of jobs. Most of them settled in the old part of the city. As time passed, shanghai became one of the busiest seaports in the world.

73. Where do most people in shanghai make their homes? (回答詞數(shù)不超過(guò)7個(gè))
