第三部分 阅读理解（40分）
A
The US. government has recently helped people learn more about the dangers of earthquakes by publishing a map. This map shows the chances of an earthquake in each part of the country. The areas of the map where government is spending a great deal of money and is working hard to help discover the answer to these two questions:
1. Can we predict earthquakes?
2. Can we control earthquakes
To answer the first question, scientists are looking very closely at the most active fault systems in the country, such as the San Andreas Fault in California. A fault is a break between two sections of the earth’s surface. These breaks between sections are the places where earthquakes occur. Scientists look at the faults for changes which might show that an earthquake was about to occur. But it will probably be many years before we can predict earthquakes accurately. And the control of earthquakes is even farther away.
Nevertheless, there have been some interesting developments in the field of controlling earthquakes. The most interesting development concerns the Rocky Mountain Arsenal earthquakes. Here water was put into a layer of rocks 4000 metres below the surface of the ground. Shortly after this injection of water, there were a small number of earthquakes. Scientists have decided that the water which was injected into the rocks worked like oil on each other. When the water “oiled” the fault, the fault became slippery and the energy of an earthquake was released. Scientists are still experimenting at the site of these earthquakes. They have realized that there is a connection between the injection of the water and the earthquake activity. They have suggested that it might be possible to use this knowledge to prevent very big, destructive earthquakes, that is, scientists could inject some kind of fluid like water into faults and change one big earthquake into a number of small, harmless earthquakes.
56. Earthquake belts are
A. maps that show where earthquakes are likely to occur
B. zones with a high probability of earthquakes
C. breaks between two sections of the earth’s surface
D. the two layers of earth along a fault
57. The San Andreas Fault is
A. an active fault system
B. a place where earthquakes have been predicted accurately
C. a place where earthquakes have been controlled
D. the location of the Rocky Mountain
58. What did scientists learn about earthquakes at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal?
A. They occur at about 4000 meters below ground level.
B. The injection of water into earthquake faults prevents earthquakes from occurring.
C. They are usually caused by the oil in the faults.
D. Harmful earthquakes can be possibly prevented by causing small, harmless earthquakes.
59. What can be said about the experiments at Rocky Mountain Arsenal?
A. They have no practical value in earthquake prevention.
B. They may have practical value in earthquake prevention.
C. They are certain to have practical value in earthquake prevention.
D. The article does not say anything about their practical value in earthquake prevention.
60. What is the most appropriate title for the passage?
A. Dangers of Earthquakes. B. Earthquake Belts and Prediction.
C. Earthquake Prediction and Control. D. Earthquake Engineering in California.
B
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Nov.10-----A 14-year-old boy was arrested today after the rotten body of an 8-year-old girl who was his neighbor was found hidden in his bedroom. She had been stabbed and beaten.
The boy, Joshua Earl Patrick Philips, admitted and was charged with murder in the death of the girl, Maddie Clifton, who disappeared on Nov.3, Sheriff Nat Glover said.
Joshua, who has no criminal record, would not be eligible for the death punishment because of his age. Detectives recovered a knife and a baseball bat believed to be the weapons used to kill the girl, the Sheriff said.
The girl had been stabbed at least nine times and was struck in the head, Sheriff Glover said at a news conference. The authorities did not say whether she has been attacked sexually, nor did they give motive for the attack.
The boy’s mother, Melissa Philips, grew suspicious after the police searched her home on Monday and detected a smell, the Sheriff said. This morning she pulled aside the frame of the bed, saw a child’s feet and called an officer, he said. Maddie’s body was found under a sheet of wood supporting the frame of the water bed, which was filled, Sherill Glover said, adding, “He put her under the bed and taped her up in it.”
Investigators believe the third-grade was killed in the boy’s house shortly after she disappeared last Tuesday, touching off a widespread search.
On Friday, Maddie’s parents, Steve and Sheila Clifton, made an earnest request for her return.
The boy’s house, like others in the neighborhood, had been searched three times. During the third search on Monday, the mother had at first said she thought the odor came from family pets.
Hundreds of volunteers had distributed thousands of leaflets with Maddie’s picture since she disappeared that evening, about 30 minutes after she went out to play with friends.
The girl’s house is one of the well-kept, single-family homes in the older working-class of Jacksonville. Yellow ribbons still hung from the trees this morning.
61. Which of the following statement is not fit for the report?
A. After the girl disappeared, the police searched on a large scale.
B. Quite a lot of people handed out lots of papers to look for the girl.
C. The girl’s parents are still waiting for their girl to come home safely on Friday morning.
D. The police searched the boy’s house and found the girl’s body by a strange smell.
62. It can be inferred from the report that
A. the girl was killed in the boy’s home
B. the girl was stabbed many times and struck by a baseball bat
C. it is the first time that the boy has been charged
D. the boy won’t be put into prison
63. The words “motive” probably means
A. reason B. action C. motion D. information
64. The man, Sheriff Glover, may be
A. a reporter B. a government official
C. the girl’s father D. a person in charge of the case

The man from the west stopped and drew back his arm. “You’re not Jimmy Wells,” he said in a quick and angry way, “Twenty years is a long time, but not long enough to change a man’s nose from a Roman to pug?”
“It sometimes changes a good man into a bad one?” said the tall man “you’ve been under arrest for ten minutes. Silky Bob.

第一节 短文改错（10分）
My neighbor’s children love playing hide-and-seek when as 76
all children do. One afternoon, they were playing in the street
just inside the post office. Young Lan found the perfect place 77
to hide. His sister, Janet, had shut her eyes and was counting
up ten when Lan noticed that the small metal door 78
of the letter-box had left open. The post-man had 79
brought just all the letters out and had 80
gone in the post-office to see if there were 81
any parcel. Lan climbed into the letter-box and pulled 82
the door from the inside so hard that it locked, so he became very
frightened and started crying. Meantime, Janet was looking for
him everywhere and could not find him. It was lucky she happened 83
to hear her brother’s cries. She immediately ran to tell the postman
and unlocked the metal door. Lan was now free, but he had had
so a bad fright that he could not stop crying. The postman, however, 84
told him that next time he wanted to hide in a letter-box, he should 85
remember to stick a stamp on himself.
