23、 when they wrote about their ideas. I chose a common, everyday task that all of us 42 in: choosing what to wear. When I asked them how they decided what they wore that day, there was a(n) 43 moment of silence. It seemed a 44 silly question. A few just said “they wore what they wore.” This was a perf

27、how long I wanted the lesson to go. After this discussion, it was clear to students that their thinking process is richer than they first suspected.

39、llowed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them, there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Now, lets talk about earthquakes on our planet. Some countries have large numbers of
40、 earthquakes. Japan is one of them. Others do not have many. For example, there are few earthquakes in Britain. There is often a great noise during an earthquake. The ground vibrates (震动) . Houses fall down. Trains run off the lines. Sometimes, there is a heavy loss of human lives.Earthquakes often
41、happen near volcanoes, but this is not always true. The centers of some earthquakes are under the sea. The bottom of the sea suddenly moves. The powerful forces inside the earth break the rocks. The coast is shaken and great waves appear. These waves, also known as seismic waves (地震波) , or tsunamis
42、(海啸) can travel long distances and rush over the land when they reach it. They are strong enough to break down houses and other buildings. Very often fires follow the most serious earthquakes. In 1906, the numbers of fires were burning in the city. The water pipes were also shaken and broken, so it
43、was not possible to put the fire out. There was no water. The Tokyo Earthquake of 1923 happened just before noon. People were cooking meals on their fires at that time. When the ground shook, the fires shook, too. Hot materials were thrown on the different parts of the houses, some of which were mad
44、e of wood. Soon 134 fires were burning in the city.What kind of building stands up best in an earthquake? A building with concrete walls is perhaps the best. A steel frame will make it even stronger. The frame holds the different parts together and the walls so not easily fall. There is less chance
45、of fire because concrete and steel do not burn. Over the years, scientists carefully studied the results of the earthquake in different parts of the world, and they are convinced that this kind of building is the safest.( ) 66. What can we know about earthquake from the first paragraph?A. Britain ha
46、s large numbers of earthquake.B. There is often a great noise during an earthquake.C. There is a heavy loss of human lives in every earthquake.D. Trains will not run off the lines during the earthquake.( ) 67. Some of the undersea earthquakes were caused by _ .A. the breakout of the volcano B. the s
47、eismic waves.C. the tsunami D. the powerful forces inside the earth ( ) 68. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. A building with concrete walls and a steel frame stands up best in an earthquake.B. There is no chance of fire in a building with concrete walls.C. Scientist studied the causes
48、 of the earthquake to get the conclusion.D. A steel frame has no help in making the house stronger.( ) 69.
