most difficult”，意思是“非常难的”。“the
most difficult”表示最高级，意思是“最难的”。

提示: 答案：B.改为is。as well as连接两个名词作主语的时候，后面的谓语动词要和第一个名词相搭配，第一个名词是e-mail这样的单数名词，所以谓语动词要用单数is。本句大意是“在日常通讯中，电子邮件和手机都越来越流行了。”

得分: [5] 试题分值: 5.0
提示: 答案：C.改为to teach。And前后的动词一般都用同样的形式，这就是所谓的平行结构，本句and前面是to do，所以and后面得用to teach。本句大意是“他发现自己做饭远比教会他妻子做饭容易得多。”

二、阅读理解（共1道小题，共50.0分）
1. 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 modern 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 sixty-nine thousand people.
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 （地震学家）with 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 scientists say such changes are caused when rocks push
together, forcing air out of small cracks in the rock. When this
happens, seismic （地震的）waves travel faster than usual through
the rock. （203字）
