EarthquakeHow does an earthquake start?What makes an earthquake happen? The rock of the earth’s crust (地壳) may have a fault’, a kind of break in the surface.The blocks which make up the earth move, and sometimes this may cause the sides of the fault to move up and down or lengthways (纵向地) against each other. When one piece of rock starts to rub on another with great force, a lot of energy is used. This energy is changed into vibrations (振动) and it is these vibrations that we reef as an earthquake. The vibrations can travel thousands of kilometers and so an earthquake in Turkey may be felt in Greece.What to do during an earthquake?At schoolAs soon as the earthquake starts, students should get under the desks immediately and wait until the teacher tells them it is safe to come out. The teacher should, at the same time, go immediately to the teacher’s desk, get underneath (在……下面) it and stay there till the danger is over. Students must not argue with the teacher or question instructions.As soon as the tremors (震动) stop, all students should walk towards the exit and go straight to the school playground or any open space such as a square or a park.They must wait there until the teacher tells them it is safe to go.At homeIf you are at home when the earthquake occurs, get immediately under the table in the living room or kitchen. Choose the biggest and strongest table you can find. You must not go anywhere near the window and don’t go out onto the balcony (阳台). Once the tremors have stopped, you can come out from under the table but you must leave the building straight away. You should walk down the stairs and should not use the lift - there may be a power cut as a result of the earthquake and you could find yourself trapped inside the lift for hours.In the streetIf you are in the street when the earthquake takes place, do not stand near buildings, fences or walls -- move away as quickly as possible arid try to find a large open space to wait in. Standing under trees could also be dangerous.16 People knew long ago how an earthquake startsA．RightB．WrongC．Not mentioned17 Thousands of people were killed during an earthquake inTurkey.A．RightB．WrongC．Not mentioned18 As soon as an earthquake occurs, students should leave the buildingA．RightB．WrongC．Not mentioned19 Students should go to the school playground or an open space once the tremors stop.A．RightB．WrongC．Not mentioned20 If you are at home when an earthquake occurs, stand near a big tableA．RightB．WrongC．Not mentioned21 The best way to leave the building during an earthquake is to get into a liftA．RightB．WrongC．Not mentioned22 If you are in the street when an earthquake occurs, stay in a large open spaceA．RightB．WrongC．Not mentioned。

The Threat to KiribatiThe people of Kiribati are afraid that one day in the not-too-distant future, their country will disappear from the face of the earth- literally. Several times this year, the Pacific island nation has been flooded by a sudden high tide. These tides, which swept across the island and destroyed houses, came when there was neither wind nor rain. “This never happened before,” say the older citizens of Kiribati.What is causing these mysterious high tides? The answer may well be global warming. When fuels like oil and coal are being burned, pollutants (污染物)are released; these pollutants trap heat in the earth’s atmosphere. Warmer temperatures cause water to expand and also create more water by melting glaciers (冰川)and polar (极地的) ice caps.If the trend continues, scientists say, many countries will suffer, Bangladesh, for example, might lose one-fifth of its land. The coral (珊瑚) island nations of the Pacific, like Kiribati and the Marshall Islands, however, would face an even worse fate – they would be swallowed by the sea. The loss of these coral islands would be everyone’s loss. Coral formations are home to more species than any other place on earth.The people of these nations feel frustrated. The sea, on which their economies have always been based, is suddenly threatening their existence. They don’t have themoney for expensive technological solutions like seawalls. And they have no control over the pollutants, which are being released mainly by activities in large industrialized countries. All they can do is to hope that industrialized countries will take steps to reduce pollution.16. The people of Kiribati worry that one day their country will be taken away bya sudden high tide.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned17. High tides used to attack Kiribati when there was strong wind or heavy rain.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned18.

职称英语考试理工类(C级)真题及答案4第4部分：阅读理解(第31～45题，每题3分，共45分)下面有3篇短文，每篇短文后有5道题。

请根据短文内容，为每题确定1个选项。

对不起，第一篇暂缺第二篇Stop Eating Too Much“Clean your plate! ”and“ Be a member of the clean—plate club!” Just about every kid in the US has heard this from a pare nt or grandparent.Often.it’s accompanied by an appeal：“Just think about those starving orphans(孤儿)in Africa!”Sure，we should be grateful for every bite of food.Unfortunately, many people in the US take too many bites.Instead of staying“clean the plate”，perhaps we should save some food for tomorrow.According to news reports，US restaurants are partly to blame for the growing bellies (肚子).A waiter puts a plate of food in front of each customer，with two to four times the amount recommended by the government，according to a USA Today story.Americans traditionally associate quantity with value and most restaurants try to give them that.They prefer to have customers complain about too much food rather than too little.Barbara Rolls，a nutrition(营养)professor at Pennsylvania State University，told USA Today that restaurant portion sizes began to grow in the 1 970s，the same time that the American waistline(腰围)began to expand.Health experts have tried to get many restaurants to serve smaller portions.Now，apparently，some customers are calling for this too.The restaurant industry trade magazine QSR reported last month that 57 percent of more than 4，000 peoplesurveyed believed restaurants served portions that were too large;23 percent had no opinion;20 percent disagreed.But a closer look at the survey indicates that many Americans who can’t afford fine dining still prefer large portions.Seventy percent of those earning at least $150，000 per year prefer smaller portions;but only 45 percent of those earning less than $25，000 want smaller.It’s not that working class Americans don’t want to eat healthy.It’s just that，after long hours at low-paying jobs，getting less on their plate hardly seems like a good deal.They live from paycheck(薪金支票)to paycheck，happy to save a little money for next year’S Christmas presents.对不起，题目暂缺。
