二、阅读理解 (共 2 道试题,共 20 分)
25.Earthquakes may rightly be ranked as one of the most destructive forces known to man: since records began to be written down, it has been estimated that earthquake-related fatalities have numbered in the millions, and that earthquake-related destruction has been beyond calculation. The greater part of such damage and loss of life has been due to the collapse of buildings and the effects of rockslides, floods, fire, disease, tsunamis (gigantic sea waves), and other observable events resulting from earthquakes, rather than from the quakes themselves. The great majority of all earthquakes occur in two specific geographic areas. One such area covers the Pacific Ocean and its bordering landmasses. The other extends from the East Indians to the Atlas Mountains, including the Himalayas, Iran, Turkey, and the Alpine regions. It is in these two great belts or zones that ninety percent of all earthquakes take place; they may, however, happen anywhere at any time. This element of the unknown has for centuries added greatly to the dread and horror surrounding earthquakes, but in recent times there have been indications that earthquake forecast may be possible. By analyzing changes in animal behavior, patterns of movements in the earth’s shell, variations in the earth’s force of attraction, and the frequency with which minor earth shakes are observed, scientists have shown increasing success in predicting when and where earthquakes will strike. As a result, a worldwide earthquake warning network is already in operation and has helped to prepare for (and thus lessen) the vast destruction that might otherwise have been totally unexpected. It is doubtful that man will ever be able to control earthquakes and get rid of their destructiveness altogether, but as how and why earthquakes happen become better understood, man will become more and more able to deal with their possible damage before they occur.
(1).Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A.Earthquake destruction is declining.
B.Earthquake forecast is improving.
C.Man is no longer fearful of earthquakes.
D.Man is capable of conquering earthquakes.
(2).We can infer from the passage that quakes ______.
A.may not happen anywhere at any time
B.mostly strike in oceans and mountains
C.are unobservable in masses of land
D.are hardly the direct cause of fatalities
(3).The phrase “this element of the unknown” (Line 1, Paragraph 3) refers to ______.
A.the extension of earthquake zones
B.the percentage of earthquake occurrences
C.when and where earthquakes may occur
D.what big damage earthquakes may cause
(4).Man’s research on earthquake forecast at present is to ______.
A.reduce the loss from earthquake disasters
B.lower the frequency of earthquakes
C.release the energy that causes earthquakes
D.analyze the relationship between different earthquakes
(5).Which of the following describes the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A.Inform the reader.
B.Entertain the reader.
C.Disprove a concept.
D.Question a concept.
30.A 10-year-old boy decided to study judo (柔道), although he had lost his left arm in a devastating car accident. The boy began lessons with an old Japanese judo master. The boy did well, so he couldn’t understand why, after three months of training, the master had taught him only one move. “Master,” the boy finally said, “shouldn’t I be learning more moves？” “This is the only move you know, but this is the only move you’ll ever need to know,” his master replied. Not quite understanding, but believing in his teacher, the boy kept training. Several months later, the master took the boy to his first tournament (锦标赛). Surprising himself, the boy easily won his first three matches, using his one move to win. Still amazed by his success, the boy was now in the finals. This time, his opponent was bigger, stronger, and more experienced. For a while, the boy appeared to be outmatched. Concerned about the boy, the referee (裁判) called a time-out. He was about to stop the match when the master came forward. “No,” the master insisted, “Let him continue.” Soon after the match resumed, his opponent made a fatal mistake. He dropped his guard. Instantly, the boy used his move to pin (钉住) him. The boy won the match and became the champion. On the way home, the boy and his master reviewed every match. Then the boy summoned the courage to ask what was really in his mind. “Master, how did I win the tournament with only one move?” “You won for two reasons,” his master answered. “First, you’ve almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in all of judo. And second, the only known defense for that move is for your opponent to catch your left arm.”

A.The time for the game has run out.
B.The game stops for a short time.
C.Either side can claim victory.
D.The game ends in a tie.
(2).Why did the master insist on continuing the match?
A.Because the time-out would give the opponent an advantage.
B.Because the boy was confident of winning.
C.Because he had confidence in the boy’s skill.
D.Because all he cared about was winning the final.
(3).What caused the defeat of the boy’s opponent in the final?
A.Over-confidence
B.Impatience
C.Inexperience
D.The time-out
(4).Why did the master only teach the boy one move?
A.The boy couldn’t do other moves with only one arm.
B.It was the only move the master knew well.
C.It was the move his opponents were not good at.
D.His opponent would be helpless when he made this move.
(5).What does the story show?
A.One can turn a weakness into an advantage.
B.It is very important to have a good teacher.
C.Even a disabled person can win in a judo match.
D.To master judo one only needs to learn one difficult move.
