23、 The earthquakes keep coming hard and fast this year, causing people to wonder if something evil (邪恶的 ) is happening underfoot. Its not. While it may seem as if there are more earthquakes occurring, there really arent. The problem is whats happening above ground, not underground, experts say. More p
24、eople are moving into big cities that happen to be built in quake zones, and theyre rapidly putt ing up buildings that cant withstand (经受 ) earthquakes, scientists believe. And around-the-clock news coverage (报道 ) and better earthquake monitoring(监测 ) make it seem as if earthquakes are ever-present.
25、 “I can definitely tell you that the world is not coming to an end,” said Bob Holdsworth, an expert in tectonics (筑造学 ) at Durharn University in the UK. A 7.0 magnitude quake in January killed more than 230,000 people in Haiti. Last month, an 8.8 magnitude quake- the fifth-strongest since 1900kil le
26、d more than 900 people in Chile. And two weeks ago, a 6.0 magnitude quake struck rural eastern Turkey, killing at least 57 people.

27、o farmore than in most years for that time period. But thats because the 8.8 quake in Chile generated a large number of strong aftershocks, and so many quakes early this year skews (扭曲 ) the picture, said Paul Earle, a US seismologist (地震学家 ). Also, its not the number of quakes, but their devastatin
28、g impacts(破坏性的影响 ) that gain attention, with the death tolls (死亡人数 ) largely due to construction standards (building standard) and crowding, Earle added. “The standard mantra (咒语 ) is earthquakes dont kill people, buildings do, ” he said. There have been more deaths over the past decades from earthq
29、uakes, said University of Colorado geologist Roger Bilham. In an opinion column last month in the journal Nature, Bilham called for better construction standards in the worlds big cities. Of the 130 cities worldwide with populations of more than 1 million, more than half are prone (倾向于 ) to earthqua
30、kes, Bilham said. Developing nations, where populations are growing, dont pay attention to earthquake preparedness, Bilham said.” If you have a problem feeding yourself, youre not really going to worry about earthquakes.” Another reason quakes seem worse is that were paying attention more. The Haiti
31、 earthquake quickly followed by the 8.8 in Chile made everyone start to think. But it wont last, said US disaster researcher Deniis Mileti. “People are paying attention to the violent planet weve always lived on,” Mileti said.” Come back in another six months if there has been no earthquakes, most p

36、to this question may lie in a newly-developed US computer program called Smarter Child and the Internet. If you ran into Smarter Child online, you would be surprised at this kids huge memory. It can recite many facts. For example, Smarter Child knows every baseball player in every team this season.
37、He knows every word in the dictionary and the weather in every major city areas across the US. However, if you ask Smarter Child other questions, you get strange answers. A question about Smarter Childs age returns. “One year, 11 days, 16 hours, 7 minutes, and 47 seconds!” Asking where he lives gets
38、, “In a clean room in a high-tech building in California.” Smarter Child uses the vast information on the World Wide Web as his memory bank. To answer questions about spelling, for instance, Smarter Child goes to American Heritage Dictionary online. For the weather, he visits . Some scientists belie
39、ve that by joining the many systems of the Internet, an artificial being with the combined knowledge of, say, Albert Einstein, Richard Nixon and Britney Spears could be born. However, if Smarter Child wants to think and learn on his own like the boy-computer David in the movie A. I. Artificial Intel
40、ligence, he must overcome two problems. The first is that computers find it difficult to read web pages because the files are labeled in different ways. Thats why programmers need to tell Smarter Child where to look for the weather. It would be a much more difficult task to let him find it himself.
41、Another problem is that while Smarter Child can process information more exactly and faster than any human, he lacks common sensea basic grounding of knowledge that is obvious to any young child. 【小题 1】 From the text we can infer that is a website . A where we people can find Smarter Child B which
42、is specially designed to help Smarter Child C where weather forecasts are made D which is about artificial intelligence 【小题 2】 It is probably most difficult for Smarter Child to .
