Seismologists (地震学家) are telling the public not to believe rumors (谣言) about more earthquakes. Jiang Haikun said the energy from the Wenchuan earthquake was as huge as the Tangshan earthquake in 1976, which killed more than 240,000 people. The strength of the earthquake was big and it released a huge amount of energy so that many parts of the country felt the quake. He emphasized that Beijing did not experience a separate earthquake. The quake we felt in Beijing today was not a separate earthquake. It was just the aftershocks from the Wenchuan earthquake in the afternoon. Jiang Haikun also said, “ Our center’s research shows China and its neighbors are currently (当前) in a relatively-active period for earthquakes. For example, a 7.3 magnitude (级) earthquake occurred in Japan recently. On the Chinese mainland, a 6.9 magnitude quake took place in Tibet in January, while March saw a 7.3 magnitude quake in Yutian in Xinjiang and now we have a 8.0 magnitude quake in Wenchuan. So at the moment there is a trend of earthquakes in China’s mainland and its neighboring countries.” He also urged (敦促) residents not to trust rumors they heard. He stressed no destructive earthquake near Beijing is likely to occur in the near future. 71. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. The earthquake in Wenchuan is as big as the earthquake in Tangshan. B. Beijing didn’t experience a separate earthquake. C. No destructive earthquake near Beijing is likely to happen. D. The Wenchuan earthquake is very big and residents can’t believe the rumors. 72. Which of the following statements is true? A. The Wenchuan earthquake killed 240,000 people. B. China and all its neighbors could feel the Wenchuan earthquake. C. An earthquake will happen in the near future in Beijing. D. China and its neighbors are now in relatively-active period for earthquakes. 73. What do you know about Jiang Haikun from the passage? A. He is an officer from the government. B. He may be an expert from an earthquake research department. C. He is a reporter from Wenchuan. (责任编辑:admin) |
