初三英语人物传记故事阅读类试题1. A terrible earthquake happened in Japan on March 11th, 2011.As a result of the extreme (激烈的) earthquake, the huge waves washed away all the coast(海岸)area northeast of the country. The more serious danger is nuclear power station explosion (核电站爆炸). Though a lot of countries including China have sent much help to Japan, the Japanese are still in trouble, because many people were killed in the disaster.And some earthquakes even cause tsunamis (海啸). It was said that 300 thousand people died in Indonesian tsunami as a result of the earthquake in 2004.How awful it is when we talk about them! As natural phenomena (自然现象), earthquake happens just like it would rain and thunder. People can't avoid earthquakes but can try our best to predict and evacuate (疏散) before it happens. Building stronger houses and teaching people how to protect themselves when there is an earthquake are also good ways to reduce damage. Information card【答案】Building stronger houses【解析】归纳理解题。
All of those broken bones in northern Japan, all of those broken lives and those broken homes prompt us to remember what in calmer times we are invariably minded to forget: the most stern and chilling of mantras, which holds, quite simply, that mankind inhabits this earth subject to geological consent—which can be withdrawn at any time.For hundreds, maybe for thousands of people, this consent was withdrawn with shocking suddenness—all geological events are sudden, and all are unexpected if not necessarily entirely unanticipated—at 2:46 on this past clear, cool spring Friday afternoon. One moment all were going about their quotidian business—in offices, on trains, in rice fields, in stores, in schools, in warehouses, in shrines—and then the ground began to shake. At first, the shock was merely a much stronger and longer version of the temblors to which most Japanese are well accustomed. There came a stunned silence, as there always does. But then, the difference: a few minutes later a low rumble from the east, and in a horrifying replay of the Indian Ocean tragedy of just some six years before, the imagery of which is still hauntingly in all the world’s mind, the coastal waters off the northern Honshu vanished, sucked mysteriously out to sea.The rumbling continued, people then began to spy a ragged white line on the horizon, and, with unimaginable ferocity, the line became visible as a wall of waves sweeping back inshore at immense speed and at great height. Just seconds later and these Pacific Ocean waters hit the Japanese seawalls, surmounted them with careless ease, and began to claw across the land beyond in what would become a dispassionate and detached orgy of utter destruction.We all now know, and have for 50 years, that geography is the ultimate reason behind the disaster. Japan is at the junction of a web of tectonic-plate boundaries that make it more peculiarly vulnerable to ground-shaking episodes than almost anywhere else—and it is a measure of Japanese engineering ingenuity, of social cohesion, of the ready acceptance of authority and the imposition of necessary discipline that allows so many to survive these all-too-frequent displays of tectonic power.But geography is not the only factor in this particular and acutely dreadful event. Topography played an especially tragic role in the story, too—for it is an axiom known to all those who dwell by high-tsunami-risk coastlines that when the sea sucks back, you run: you run inland and, if at all possible, you run uphill. But in this corner of northeast Japan, with its wide plains of rice meadows and ideal factory sites and conveniently flat airport locations, there may well be a great deal of inland—but there is almost no uphill.Such mountains as exist are far away, blue and distant in the west. All here is coastal plain. And so the reality is this: if a monstrous wave is chasing you inland at the speed of a jetliner, and if the flat topography all around denies you any chance of sprinting to a hilltop to try to escape its wrath, then you can make no mistake—it will catch you, it will drown you, and its forces will pulverize you out of all recognition as a thing of utter insignificance, which of course, to a tsunami, all men and women and their creations necessarily must be.所有这些骨折在日本北部,所有这些破碎的生活和那些破碎的家庭促使我们希望记住在平静的时候我们总是有意忘记:最严厉和令人心寒的咒语,并将拥有非常简单,这是人类栖居在这个地球上受地质consent-which随时可能被取消。
日本地震英语作文Title: The Impact of the Japanese Earthquake。
