On the last day of one voyage, the ship was in a small port. It was

53、 winter time, and the sea was very cold, so the captain said to his sailors, If one of you stays in the water during the whole night, I will give him my ship. But if he comes out before the sun appears, I shall get his wages.The sailors had heard about the captains cheating, so they didnt trust him.

54、 But then one of them, who thought that he was cleverer than the captain, said that he would do it. He got into the water, and, though it was very cold, he stayed in it. When it was nearly morning, some fishermen lit a fire on the shore about half a mile away. You are cheating, the captain said to t

55、he sailor. The fires warming you. But its half a mile away! said the sailor. A fires fire, answered the captain. I have won.

60、re Is FireEMost earthquakes occur within the upper 15 miles of the earths surface. But earthquakes can and do occur at all depths to about 460 miles. Their number decreases as the depth increases. At about 460 miles one earthquake occurs only every few years. Near the surface earthquakes may run as

61、high as 100 in a month, but the yearly average does not vary much. In comparison with the total number of earthquakes each year, the number of disastrous(灾难性的) earthquakes is very small. The extent（扩大） of the disaster in an earthquake depends on many factors. If you carefully build a toy house with

62、an erect set, it will still stand no matter how much you shake the table. But if you build a toy house with a pack of cards, a slight shake of the table will make it fall. An earthquake in Agadir, Morocco, was not strong enough to be recorded on distant instruments, but it completely destroyed the c

63、ity. Many stronger earthquakes have done comparatively little damage. If a building is well constructed and built on solid ground, it will resist(抵抗) an earthquake. Most deaths in earthquakes have been due to faulty building construction or poor building sites. A third and very serious factor is pan

64、ic. When people rush out into narrow streets, more deaths will result.The United Nations has played an important part in reducing the damage done by earthquakes. It has sent a team of experts to all countries known to be affected by earthquakes. Working with local geologists and engineers, the exper

65、ts have studied the nature of the ground and the type of most practical building code for the local area. If followed, these suggestions will make disastrous earthquakes almost a thing of the past.There is one type of earthquake disaster that little can be done about. This is the disaster caused by

66、seismic sea waves, or tsunamis. (These are often called tidal waves, but the name is incorrect. They have nothing to do with tides.) In certain areas, earthquakes take place beneath the sea. These submarine earthquakes sometimes give rise to seismic sea waves. The waves are not noticeable out at sea

67、 because of their long wave length. But when they roll into harbors, they pile up into walls of water 6 to 60 feet high. The Japanese call them tsunamis, meaning harbor waves, because they reach a sizable height only in harbors. Tsunamis travel fairly slowly, at speeds up to 500 miles an hour. An ad

68、equate(适当的) warning system is in use to warn all shores likely to be reached by the waves. But this only enables people to leave the threatened shores for higher ground. There is no way to stop the oncoming wave.67. Which of the following CANNOT be concluded from the passage?A. The number of earthqu

69、akes is closely related to depth.B. Roughly the same number of earthquakes occur each year.C. Earthquakes are impossible at depths over 460 miles.D. Earthquakes are most likely to occur near the surfaces. 68. The destruction of Agadir is an example of _. A. faulty building constructionB. an earthqua

70、kes strengthC. widespread panic in earthquakesD. ineffective instruments69. The United Nations experts are supposed to_A. construct strong buildingsB. put forward proposals(建议)C. detect（探测）disastrous earthquakesD. monitor(监控) earthquakes70. The significance of the slow speed of tsunamis is that peop

71、le may_.A. notice them out at seaB. find ways to stop themC. be warned early enoughD. develop warning systems第II卷（20分）第一节单句改错（共5小题，每小题1分，满分5分）（请将正确答案写在答卷上）此题要求改正所给句子中的错误。按下列要求改正：此句多一个词：把多余的词用斜线（）划掉，在该行右边横线上写出该词，并也用斜线划掉。此句缺一个词：在缺词处加一个漏字符号（），在该行右边横线上写出该加的词。此句错一个词：在错的词下划一横线，在该行右边横线上写出改正后的词。71.More than
