Ⅳ.阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
A
Everyone has heard of the San Andreas fault(断层)，which constantly threatens California and the West Coast with earthquakes.But how many people know about the equally serious New Madrid fault in Missouri?
Between December of 1811 and February of 1812，three major earthquakes occurred，all centered around the town of New Madrid，Missouri，on the Mississippi River.Property damage was severe.Buildings in the area were almost destroyed.Whole forests fell at once，and huge cracks opened in the ground，releasing smell of sulfur(硫黄)to rise upward.
The Mississippi River itself completely changed character，developing sudden rapids and whirlpools.Several times it changed its course，and once，according to some observers，it actually appeared to run backwards.Few people were killed in the New Madrid earthquakes，probably simply because few people lived in the area in 1811；but the severity of the earthquakes are shown by the fact that the shock waves rang bells in church towers in Charleston，South Carolina，on the coast.Buildings shook in New York City，and clocks were stopped in Washington，D.C.
Scientists now know that America's two major faults are essentially different.The San Andreas is a horizontal boundary(分界线)between two major land masses that are slowly moving in opposite directions.California earthquakes result when the movement of these two masses suddenly lurches (倾斜) forward.
The New Madrid fault，on the other hand，is a vertical(垂直的) fault；at some point，possibly hundreds of millions of years ago，rock was pushed up toward the surface，probably by volcanoes under the surface.Suddenly，the volcanoes cooled and the rock collapsed，leaving huge cracks.Even now，the rock continues to settle downwards，and sudden sinking motions trigger (触发) earthquakes in the region.The fault itself，a large crack in this layer of rock，with dozens of other cracks that split off from it，extends from northeast Arkansas through Missouri and into the south.
Scientists who have studied the New Madrid fault say there have been numerous smaller quakes in the area since 1811；these smaller quakes indicate that larger ones are probably coming，but the scientists say they have no method of predicting when a large earthquake will occur.
56This passage is mainly about ______.
A．the New Madrid fault in Missouri
B．the San Andreas and the New Madrid faults
C．the causes of faults
D．current scientific knowledge about faults
57We may conclude from the passage that ______.
A．it is probably as dangerous to live in Missouri as in California
B．the New Madrid fault will eventually develop a mountain range in Missouri
C．California will become an island in future
D．a big earthquake will occur to California soon
58This passage implies that ______.
A．horizontal faults are more dangerous than vertical faults
B．vertical faults are more dangerous than horizontal faults
C．earthquakes occur often around fault areas
D．California will break into pieces by an eventual earthquake
59As used in the first sentence of the fourth paragraph，the word essentially means ______.
A．greatly
B．basically
C．extremely
D．necessarily
B
Mountain lions live in mountainous areas of the western United States.Lately，however，people have reported seeing them in quiet neighborhoods all across the country！Usually considered shy and seldom seen，these lions are becoming more noticeable.In addition，the lions appear to be moving east.They were even reported in the suburbs (郊区) of Boston，Philadelphia，and Chicago.
It seems certain that these “kings of the mountains” are moving.Why？Scientists are not sure.Some think that as the mountain lion population increases in the west，younger wild cats are leaving the area.These cats are searching for new homes and new places for food.
“The young males are looking for new homes，” says Lynn Sadler，who is the director of the Mountain Lion Foundation in Sacramento，Calif.“People tend to create too many barriers (障碍)，such as buildings，fences，roads，and noise.As the mountain lions seek new places and food and water sources (水源)，these barriers get in their way.”
The sightings have made people increasingly watchful.Sometimes the “mountain lions” that people report seeing turn out to be large dogs or even house cats.But at least a few of the meetings have been real.The building of new roads，the growing of suburbs and the growing popularity of outdoor activities are all increasing the chances that people in various parts of the country may meet up with a mountain lion.
Because many people are concerned about the reappearance of the American lion，an expert outlined some ways they can avoid attracting the wild cats：Never leave pets or pet food outside；properly care for farm animals；and plan public land use to enable the lions to move safely from one place to another.
“To be fair，” says the expert，“mountain lions are trying to regain their homes.They were here first.Now we need to find ways we can live together.”
60Mountain lions are moving probably because ______.
A．the suburbs of big cities are peaceful and quiet
B．more roads are being built into the mountains
C．the number of the lions increases in the west
D．young lions are seeking new partners
61According to the passage，it is clear that ______.
A．the reported sightings of mountain lions have not been proved
B．people walking in the country may come across a lion
C．fences have been built to protect the lions
D．mountain lions prefer populated areas
62To avoid attracting mountain lions，people are advised ______.
A．to build more roads for the lions to move safely
B．to keep a close watch on their farm animals
C．not to stay outdoors
D．not to raise pets
63Which is the best title for the passage?
A．Mountain Lions in Unlikely Places
B．Measures Taken to Avoid Lions
C．Number of Sightings Going Up
D．Mountain Lions Moving West

Three hundred years after his birth，one of the United States' Founding Fathers，Benjamin Franklin (17061790) is remembered as an inventor，statesman，businessman，writer and publisher.He is also well known for his witty (机智的) tongue.
Franklin's experiments with electricity made him famous both in Philadelphia and around the world.A crowd of people once stood outside his home，hoping to have a look at the scientist's discovery.To make his house quiet，Franklin sent a harmless electrical charge through the fence around his house.People disappeared quickly，shaking their heads.
One time，a neighbor called on Franklin for advice.The neighbor wondered how thieves could be prevented from stealing beer he kept in his backyard.The inventor had a simple way out.“Put some Madeira (an expensive wine) beside it，” was his reply.
While talking with some friends at a local Philadelphia bar，Franklin was interrupted by a drunken young man who had heard him discussing the Declaration of Independence(《独立宣言》)．The young man shouted at Franklin，“Aw，the words said in it mean nothing at all.Where's all the happiness it guarantees(保证) us？” The witty statesman replied，“My friend，the Declaration of Independence only guarantees the Americans the right to_pursue happiness.You have to catch it yourself！”
When he was in France during the American Revolution，Franklin was told that General Howe，the British commander，had taken Philadelphia.However，Franklin，knowing that taking control of the city would be a hard job，replied，“I beg your pardon，sir，Philadelphia has taken Howe.”
