【題目】Scientists in the United States have developed a method that may help to predict earthquakes earlier. They say it could give people who live in deadly earthquake areas enough warning to leave before an earthquake hits.
Currently, the most modem systems for predicting earthquakes find them only a short time before the event. Like most strong earthquakes , the one that hit Southwestern China in May was not identified early enough for people to flee the area. That earthquake killed more than 69,000 people, which rated eight point zero in intensity.
But scientists who study earthquakes are reporting that new technology could measure very small changes in the Earth's surface. Their report was published this month in Nature magazine.
Fenglin Niu is a seismologist in Rice University in Houston, Texas. He and his team performed experiments along California's San Andreas Fault, an area famous for its many earthquakes. The team placed highly sensitive electrical devices about one kilometer below ground in two different places. The devices were able to measure even small changes in air pressure on the Earth's surface. The scientist says such changes are caused when rocks push together, forcing air out of small cracks in the rock. When this happens, seismic waves travel faster than usual through the rock.
The experiment was performed near Parkfield,California. Two earthquakes hit the area in late 2005. The first took place on December 25. A smaller earthquake struck five days later. The scientists noted changes in the Earth's surface about ten hours before the first earthquake struck. That earthquake rated three in intensity. They then found similar changes taking place two hours before the other earthquake struck five days later.
If additional tests confirm the changes are linked to earthquakes ,the scientists believe that their equipment could be used for early warning systems. A system that provides a warning signal ten hours before a major earthquake could help move people from the area and save lives.
The scientists now hope they can find earthquakes with even greater intensity by placing their equipment deeper in the ground.
【1】 What is the best title for the passage?
A. A new way to help predict earthquakes
B. The earthquake in Southwestern China
C. A better understanding of earthquakes
D. Early warning systems of earthquakes
【2】 If the new way works, ______ .
A. fewer earthquakes will break out
B. rescue workers can save more buried people in ruins
C. a warning can be given at least ten days before the major earthquake
D. fewer people will be killed in an earthquake
【3】 The devices can predict the earthquake by ______ .
A. reaching the center of the earthquake
B. detecting the temperature changes in the Earth's crust
C. measuring changes in air pressure on the Earth's surface
D. recording sound waves under the ground
【4】 We can infer that ______ .
A. the equipment is perfect enough to be used in practice
B. it is unknown if greater earthquakes can be predicted by the equipment
C. the deeper the equipment is placed, the less accurate the measurement is
D. the equipment has helped save many lives in the earthquake in Sichuan in May

【題目】If you’re tired of the Mediterranean and don’t want to head to Disney again, perhaps it’s time for a summer holiday in space. Russia has declared plans for its first floating hotel, 217 miles above earth, and it is something of an offering with good service.
Hosting just seven guests in a four cabins, the accommodation will boast huge windows with views back to earth and tasty microwave meals will be served instead of the ones often used by astronauts.
Just getting there will be an adventure in itself—it will take two days aboard a Soyuz rocket—and it won’t exactly be a budget holiday: A five-day stay will cost you£100, 000 to£500, 000 for your journey. The hotel is due to open by 2016 and, according to those behind it, will be far more comfortable than the International Space Station (ISS) used by astronauts and cosmonauts.
In the weightlessness of space, visitors can choose to have beds that are either vertical or horizontal. Tourists, who will be accompanied by experienced crew, will dine on food prepared on Earth and sent up on the rocket, to be reheated in microwave ovens. Many kinds of delicacies will be available.
Iced tea, mineral water and fruit juices will be available, but alcohol will be strictly prohibited. Toilets will use flowing air instead of water to move waste through the system. Waste water will be recycled.
Sergei Kostenko, chief executive of Orbital Technologies which will construct the hotel, said: “Our planned module inside will not remind you of the International Space Station. A hotel should be comfortable inside, and it will be possible to look at the Earth. The hotel will be aimed at wealthy individuals and people working for private companies who want to do research in space.” The hotel can also be used as an emergency bolthole (避難處) for astronauts aboard the International Space Station if there is a crisis.
【1】Which can be the best title of the passage?
A. Russia declares the design for its first space hotel
B. The first space hotel is under construction now
C. The astronauts will have a second home in space
D. Russia has the advanced technology in exploring space
【2】What does the underlined word “budget” in the 3rd paragraph mean?
A. expensive B. worthwhile
C. economic D. uncomfortable
【3】What kind of accommodation will the guests have in the space hotel?
A. They will have the same food as the astronauts have.
B. Many kinds of drinks are available including alcohol.
C. Guests can have beds that are either vertical or horizontal.
D. Tourists are accompanied by the astronauts from the ISS.
【4】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The space hotel is built to remind you of the International Space Station.
B. The hotel is constructed with big windows so that tourists can see the earth.
C. The company, Orbital Technologies, has already begun to build the space hotel.
D. In the near future, a space trip for most of the people can be realized.
