27．Suddenly another thought went through Kate's mind like an electric shock.An express train was due to go past about thirty minutes later.If it were not stopped，that long train，full of passengers，would fall into the stream. "Someone must go to the station and warn the station-master，" Kate thought.But who was to go？She would have to go herself.There was no one else.
In wind and rain she started on her difficult way.Soon she was at the bridge that crossed the Des Moines River，a bridge also built of wood，just like the bridge across Honey Creek.The storm had not washed this away，but there was no footpath across it.She would have to cross it by stepping from sleeper（枕木）to sleeper.With great care she began the dangerous crossing，sometimes on her hands and knees，hardly daring to look down between the sleepers into the wild floodwaters below.If she should slip，she would fall between the sleepers，into the rapidly flowing stream.
At last-she never knew how long it had taken her-she felt solid ground under her feet.But there was no time to rest.She still had to run more than half a mile and had only a few minutes left.Unless she reached the station before the express did，many，many lives would be lost.
She did reach the station just as the train came into sight.Fortunately the station-master was standing outside. "The bridge is down!Stop the train!Oh，please stop it!" Kate shouted breathlessly.
The station-master went pale.He rushed into the station building and came back with a signal light.He waved the red light as the train came into the station.It was not a second too early.
（1）What did Kate decide to do？
A．Stop the express train.
B．Check the signal light.
C．Meet the passengers.
D．Visit the station-master.
（2）Which of the following words best describes Kate's journey？
A．Fruitless.
B．Well-planned.
C．Pleasant.
D．Risky.
（3）What can we learn from the last paragraph？
A．The station-master was unhealthy.
B．Kate's efforts paid off.
C．The train arrived later than usual.
D．The train failed to stop.组卷：2引用：1难度：0.6 -
28．Earthquakes usually happen on the edges of large sections of the earth's plates.These plates slowly move over a long period of time.Sometimes the edges，which are called fault lines，can get stuck，but the plates keep moving.Pressure slowly starts to build up where the edges are stuck and，once the pressure gets strong enough，the plates will suddenly move，causing an earthquake.
Generally before and after a large earthquake there will be smaller earthquakes.The ones that happen before are called foreshocks.The ones that happen after are called aftershocks. Scientists don't really know if an earthquake is a foreshock until the bigger earthquake occurs.
Shock waves from an earthquake that travel through the ground are called seismic waves（地震波）.They are most powerful at the centre of the earthquake，but they travel through much of the earth and back to the surface.They move quickly at 20 times the speed of sound.
Scientists use seismic waves to measure how big an earthquake is.They use a device called a seismograph（地震仪）to measure the size of the waves.The size of the waves is called the magnitude.
To tell the strength of an earthquake，scientists use a scale called the Moment Magnitude Scale or MMS（it used to be called the Richter Scale）.The larger the number on the MMS，the larger the earthquake.You usually won't even notice an earthquake unless it measures at least a 3 on the MMS.Here are some examples of what may happen depending on the scale：
4.0-Could shake your house as if a large truck were passing close by.Some people may not notice.
5.0-If you are in a car，it may shake.Glasses and dishes may rattle.Windows may break.
6.0-Items will fall off shelves.Walls in some houses may crack and windows break.Pretty much everyone near the centre will feel this one.
7.0-Weaker buildings will collapse and cracks will occur in bridges and on the streets.
8.0-Many buildings and bridges fall down.Large cracks in the earth.
9.0 and up-Whole cities will flatten and large-scale damage.
（1）If a 5.0-magnitude earthquake hits your area，what might happen？
A．Your house might shake violently.
B．People might feel no shaking at all.
C．The family photo may fall off the wall.
D．There might be cracks everywhere on the street.
（2）What does the author mean by saying the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2？
A．It's still hard to tell foreshocks from main earthquakes.
B．Scientists can't exactly measure the strength of an earthquake.
C．People may ignore foreshocks when an earthquake is not so strong.
D．The earthquake won't cause any damage unless it reaches 9.0 MMS.
（3）The writer explains the concepts concerning the earthquake by.
A．listing examples
B．giving explanations
C．making comparisons
D．offering data
（4）What is the purpose of the passage？
A．To enrich people's knowledge of self-rescue in disasters.
B．To stress the importance of earthquake rescue.
C．To issue early warnings before an earthquake.
D．To present facts about the earthquake.组卷：1引用：1难度：0.5
