Since records began to be written down, it has been estimated that earthquake-related fatalities have numbered in the millions, and that earthquake-related des

31、truction has been beyond calculation. The greater part of such damage and loss of life has been due to collapse of buildings and the effects of rockslides, floods, fire, disease, tsunamis (gigantic sea waves), and other observable events resulting from earthquakes, rather than from the quakes themse

32、lves.The great majority of all earthquakes occur in two specific geographic areas. One such area covers the Pacific Ocean and its bordering landmasses. The other extends from the East Indies to the Atlas Mountains, including the Himalayas, Iran, Turkey, and the Alpine regions. It is in these two gre

33、at belts or zones that ninety percent of all earthquakes take place; they may, however, happen anywhere at any time.This element of the unknown has for centuries added greatly to the dread and horror surrounding earthquakes, but in recent times there have been indications that earthquake forecast ma

34、y be possible. By analyzing changes in animal behavior, patterns of movements in the earths shell, variations in the earths force of attraction, and the frequency with which minor earth shakes are observed, scientists have shown increasing success in expecting when and where earthquakes will strike.

35、 As a result, a worldwide earthquake warning network is already in operation and has helped to prepare for (and thus lessen) the vast destruction that might otherwise have been totally unexpected.It is doubtful that man will ever be able to control earthquakes and get rid of their destructiveness al

36、together, but as how and why earthquakes happen become better understood, man will become more and more able to deal with their possible damage before they occur.（分数：10.00）(1).Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

A. the extension of earthquake zones B. the percentage of earthquake occurrences C. when and where earthquakes may occur D. what big damage earthquakes may cause（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.

41、 that sign languages are uniquea speech of the hand. They offer a new way to probe how the brain generates and understands language, and throw new light on an old scientific controversy-whether language, complete with grammar, is something that we are born with, or whether it is a learned behavior.

42、The current interest in sign language has roots in the pioneering work of one rebel teacher at Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C., the worlds only liberal arts university for deaf people.When Bill Stokoe went to Gallaudet to teach English, the school enrolled him in a course in signing. But St

43、okoe noticed something odd. among themselves, students signed differently from his classroom teacher.Stokoe had been taught a sort of gestural code, each movement of the hands representing a word in English. At the time, American Sign Language (ASL) was thought to be no more than a form of pidgin En

44、glish (混杂英语). But Stokoe believed the “hand talk“ his students used looked richer. He wondered, might deaf people actually have a genuine language? And could that language be unlike any other on Earth? It was 1955, when even deaf people dismissed their signing as “substandard“. Stokoes idea was acad

45、emic heresyIt is 37 years later. Stokoenow devoting his time to writing and editing books and journals and to producing video materials on ASL and the deaf cultureis having lunch at a care near the Gallaudet campus and explaining how he started a revolution. For decades educators fought his idea tha

46、t sign languages are natural languages like English, French and Japanese. They assumed language must be based on speech, the modulation (调节) of sound, but sign language is based on the movement of hands, the modulation of space.“What I said,“ Stokoe explains, “is that language is not mouth stuffits

47、brain stuff.“（分数：10.00）(1).The study of sign language is thought to be _. A. a new way to look at the learning of language B. a challenge to traditional views on the nature of language C. an approach to simplifying the grammatical structure of a language D. an attempt to clarify misunderstanding about the origin of language（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).The present growing interest in sign langu
