10、sing on public service”可知，D项正确；根据第一段可排除A、C两项；根据第三段可排除B项，米歇尔只是感慨这样的学校并非为每个孩子而存在，并不是抱怨她的高中生活。故选D。4Where can you probably find this text?AIn a politics book.BOn a news website.CIn a graduation paper.DOn Mrs.Obamas blog.答案B推理判断题。本文是奥巴马夫人致毕业生的演讲稿，会成为一则热点新闻，所以应出现在新闻网站上。故选B。B体裁：说明文话题：GPS的功能词数：365时间：6Scient
11、ists know where earthquakes are likely to take place.But it is difficult for them to predict how strong an earthquake will be.Now，American researchers have found that it may be possible to predict the strength of future quakes.The Earths crust (地壳)the outermost surfaceis made up of large tectonic pl
12、ates (地质板块)As many as 20 tectonic plates cover the Earth.They move slowly，sometimes sliding under one another.Where that happens，earthquakes can take place.Timothy HDixon is a geologist of the University of South Florida.He and other scientists are using the global positioning system，or GPS to measu
13、re what he calls “slowslip” events.By that，he means slowmoving earthquakes that cannot be measured by other instruments.“Theyre the kind of earthquake that made the big Japan earthquake in 2011 and the Sumatra earthquake and tsunami (海啸) in 2004.So they can be the real killers.So what we think these
14、 slowslip events are telling us is，theyre letting off steam，so to speak，in areas of the fault.And if they let off enough steam，that part of the fault wont rupture”The more of the fault that ruptures，he says，the more powerful the earthquake is.The scientists set up a number of GPS receivers 15 years
15、ago in Costa Rica to measure the “slowslip” events，which take place only every year or two.People always want to know when an earthquake is going to happen.This technology cannot predict that.But Timothy Dixon says knowing how strong the quake might give officials time to improve building codes and
16、make other preparations.“You know the earthquake is moreorless unavoidable.Even if you dont know exactly when its going to happen，since you know its going to happen，and you know how big it s going to be，you can prepare accordingly.”【语篇解读】通过一般的方法只能了解到可能会在哪些地方发生地震，如果用GPS则能预测地震的强度。5When will an earthqu
17、ake happen according to the passage?AWhen “slowslip” plates meet each other.BWhen a tectonic plate is under another.CWhen two tectonic plates move at the same speed.DWhen tectonic plates move very slowly.答案B细节理解题。根据第二段“sometimes sliding under one another.Where that happens，earthquakes can take place
18、.”可知，当一块地质板块进入到另一块的下面时，地震就发生了。6According to Timothy Dixon，“slowslip” events _Acan lead to large，sometimes deadly earthquakesBtake place at any time every year in Costa RicaCmean slow and weak earthquakesDcan never be turned into earthquakes答案A推理判断题。根据第四段“Theyre the kind of earthquake that made the b
19、ig Japan earthquake in 2011 and the Sumatra earthquake and tsunami in 2004.So they can be the real killers.”可知，这种慢速的板块运动是2011年日本大地震和2004年苏门答腊地震和海啸发生的原因，它们是真正的杀手。由此可推知，这种慢速的板块运动有时会导致大的、致命的地震。7The underlined word “rupture” probably means _Areduce BbreakCappear Dadvance答案B词义猜测题。根据第五段可知，当这样的板块越，地震的强度就越大
20、。根据常识可知，地震强度大时，板块破裂的程度就越大。故当有问题的地质板块间释放出的能量越多，这些板块就越不可能发生“破裂”。rupture意为“破裂”。8The passage mainly wants to tell the readers _Asome knowledge about earthquakesBhow to predict earthquakesCscientists are likely to predict the strength of future quakesDscientists can predict where earthquakes will happen
21、with GPS答案C主旨大意题。第一段即为主题段，根据本段最后一句并结合后面的内容可知，文章旨在告诉读者，今后科学家能够预测地震的强度。.完形填空(2015宝鸡二检)One evening after reading a story entitled “A Lady”，I began to recall an important moment in my life.It was simple but so precious that it has _9_ inside my mind for years.It was a very cold winter evening when a fri
