题目列表(包括答案和解析)
Earthquakes are the shaking, rolling or sudden shock of the earth’s surface. Earthquakes happen along “fault lines” in the earth’s crust. Earthquakes can be felt over large areas although they usually last less than one minute. Earthquakes cannot be predicted —— although scientists are working on it!
Most of the time, you will notice an earthquake by the gentle shaking of the ground. You may notice hanging plants swaying or objects wobbling on shelves. Sometimes you may hear a low rumbling noise or feel a sharp jolt. A survivor of the 1906 earthquake in San Francisco said the sensation was like riding a bicycle down a long flight of stairs.
The intensity（强度）of an earthquake can be measured. One measurement is called the Richter scale. Earthquakes below 4.0 on the Richter scale usually do not cause damage, and earthquakes below 2.0 usually can’t be felt. Earthquakes over 5.0 on the scale can cause damage. A magnitude 6.0 earthquake is considered strong and a magnitude 7.0 is a major earthquake. The Wenchuan Earthquake, which hit Sichuan Province in 2008, was magnitude 7.8.
Earthquakes are sometimes called temblors, quakes, shakers or seismic activity. The most important thing to remember during an earthquake is to DROP, COVER and HOLD ON. So remember to DROP to the floor and get under something for COVER and HOLD ON during the shaking.

Directions：Read the following passage．Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage．
What is red but green, open but closed and old but new?Answer：London's beautiful new double-deckers buses．The traditional red double-deckers are a symbol of London．This was made certain in 2008 when one bus made the longer-than-usual trip to Beijing to collect a very special passenger：the Olympic Flame．
Now a new bus design has been impressing Londoners．The new bus uses more green technology and has an open platform, making sure people get on and get off easily．It also has a special asymmetric(不对称的)design for the front end, which gives it a futuristic look．
Besides these the design is not all new．Its outside can remind you of London's faithful old double-decker, the Routemaster(马路大师)．In December 2005 the original Routemaster was stopped from offering general service as a result of environmental reasons, but it can still be seen on two routes in London．
In July 2008 a competition was organized by the London Mayor, Boris Johnson, to design a new Routemaster bus for the capital．Several designers together won the ￡25,000 prize．The new double-deckers, which have three doors to speed up boarding, are expected to be in service in 2012．
Mr．Johnson said：“This new part of our transport system is not only beautiful, but also has a green heart…”He expects cities around the globe to be“beside themselves with envy”for what he described as an“impressive red symbol”of 21st-century London．However, Mr．Johnson has not yet convinced everyone to climb on board．The mayor has been criticized by some for the high cost of the new buses．A normal double-decker bus costs around ￡190,000 but it has cost ￡7,800,000 to design and build five new ones．
1．Why did a traditional red double-decker bus came to Beijing in 2008?(No more than 8 words)(2 marks)
________________
2．What disadvantage does the old Routemaster have?(No more than 6 words)(2 marks)
________________
3．List at least two special characteristics of the new design of the Routemaster．(No more than 15 words)(3 marks)
