Last Sunday, an earthquake struck the Napa Valley area of northern California. Some roads bent, while underground pipes burst. It was the strongest earthquake to strike Napa Valley in 15 years. No one was killed, but many people were injured and treated in hospitals.
Scientists say the earthquake is a 6-magnitude quake.
David Applegate works for the United States Geological Survey. He says Californians are lucky because the earthquake did not cause major damage to water mains — large pipelines that carry water. He notes that a lot of the losses in the quake were from fires because water mains had been broken, and there was no quick way to fix them.
Mr. Applegate says the timing of the quake in Napa might have saved a lot of lives. “It happened in the middle of the night. We saw a lot of cases where old brick buildings collapsed onto sidewalks. Those sidewalks were empty.”
He describes that as a fortunate thing because earthquakes usually come as a surprise. “Short-term prediction is not feasible, but what we can know is where large earthquakes will occur.”
This means that scientists can predict the likelihood that an earthquake will hit a given area over the next several years. When a quake begins, however, scientists can warn the people in its path.
?Once an earthquake starts in one place, we can actually get the characteristics of the event and sound an alert ahead of the strong shaking.”
David Applegate says the warning may not come long before the quake strikes. But he adds that 10 or 20 seconds may be enough to help you save your life.
Like anything, he says, it is wise to have a plan that includes how to deal with flesh water and how to find beloved ones after the disaster.
The people of northern California were lucky in the earthquake that could have been far more damaging. They have cause for celebration. It seems that Napa Valley will continue exporting wine as usual. That is also likely part of the survival plan.
1. What is the function of the first paragraph?
A. To show Napa Valley suffered a lot.
B. To imply California often sees earthquakes.
C. To warn the residents to take care of themselves.
D. To introduce the theme of the whole passage.
2. How does David Applegate feel about the quake mentioned?
A. Many houses got burnt for lack of water.
B. So many people got killed and injured.
C. It could have been predicted in advance.
D. It didn’t do great damage to the local.
3. What does the underlined word “feasible” mean in the passage?
A. Possible.
B. Accessible.
C. Desirable.
D. Agreeable.
4. Once the earthquake is felt ________.
A. no one can escape from the disaster
B. swift actions can save your life
C. it is vital to find your beloved family members
D. it is necessary to bring enough water
5. Which is the proper title for the passage?
A. An Earthquake Struck the Napa Valley Area
B. It Is Hard to Reliably Predict the Hit of an Earthquake
C. A Celebration Was Held in Napa Valley
D. An Earthquake Caused Serious Damage
答案与解析

解析

5. 答案
B
解析
标题归纳题。作者在文中讲述了地震带来的负面影响以及难以准确预测地震这个问题，阿普尔盖特提醒读者要有为发生地震做准备的意识。故选B项。
