D : Reading Comprehension :

Read the following passage and answer the questions as required.

Every body knows about earthquakes. Suppose you feel the ground or a building

shake. You might think, "earthquake" even if you don't live anywhere near an

earthquake zone. Or suppose you are watching a science fiction movie and a big

crack opens in the earth, and the tall building comes crashing down. "Earthquake!"

However, there is more to earthquake than this, and the more you know about the

science of earthquakes, the more interesting it gets! For one thing, earthquakes can

happen either on land or under the ocean. Earthquakes on land cause most of their

damage when they occur in heavily populated areas, especially when they start fires.

Earthquakes under the sea sometimes cause big waves that are extremely powerful

and dangerous when they hit land.

6

One famous earthquake was the Great San Francisco Earthquake of 1906. As the

earthquake hit San Francisco, it overturned stoves and gas lamps, which started fires

all over the city. To make the problem worse, the earthquake also broke the main

water line, making it difficult for firemen to put out the fires. For three days the fires

burned , damaging much of the city.

Another amazing, but dangerous, event caused by earthquakes is a tsunami. Tsunami

is a Japanese word meaning "harbor wave". These big ocean waves are often caused

by an earthquake under the ocean, and can travel at speed of 500 miles per hour or

more. In the past, tsunamis have destroyed whole villages and countries, and they

remain a threat to people who live on the seaside or on an island.

44. This passage is mainly about.......................... .

a. villages and islands b. earthquakes

c. San Francisco d. tsunamis

45. The San Francisco Earthquake caused a fire that lasted for ...........................

a. three days b. one day

c. three hours d. three weeks

a. villages b. countries c. people d. tsunamis

47. Earthquakes on land cause more damage when they occur in ...........................

a. populated areas b. dangerous places c. less populated areas d. villages
