　　Earthquakes are something that most people fear. There are some places that have few or no earthquakes. Most places in the world, however, have them regularly. Countries that have a lot of earthquakes are usually quite mountainous. The strongest earthquake that ever happened in North America was in 1964. It happened in Alaska. In 1755, one of the strongest earthquakes ever recorded was felt in Portugal. Around 20, 000 people died. In 1923 a very powerful earthquake hit Tokyo. 140, 000 people died. The worst earthquake ever reported was in China. 830, 000 people were killed in this quake in 1556.
　　Earthquakes are not the only acts of nature which people fearThere are typhoons, floods and so on. But they probably don’t worry people as
much as earthquakes do. The reason is that we often know when and how they are coming, so farhowever, no sure way is known to predict an earthquake. When one comes, it is a surprise. People cannot prepare for it. So thousands of people still die in earthquakes nowadays such as the one in China in 1976.
17. In what kind of country are earthquakes likely to occur?
A. Mountainous countries.
B. Hot countries.
C. Big countries.
答案: A
18. What disasters are mentioned besides earthquakes in the passage?
A. Floods and cyclones. 　　　　　B. Tidal waves.
C. Floods and typhoons.
答案: C
19. Which of the following is the reason for earthquakes to worry people so much?
A. There is no sure way to predict an earthquake.
B. Earthquakes bring great damage.
C. Earthquakes cause the death of countless people.
答案: A
20. Where did the strongest earthquake ever happen?
A. Alaska. B. Portugal. C. China.

I’ll never forget the day when Mary came into my office and said, “I am too old to learn how to use a computer”. I shook my head. Here was a woman who had raised 6 children and who had made great progress in her career telling me that she was too old to learn something new. I told her that I always believed people were never too old to learn.
Mary followed my advice and did learn how to use the computer. Now, she is retired and leading a very active life volunteering in her community(社区 ), using her computer skills and helping anyone that needs help.
When she was in her sixties, one day she called me and said she had played the piano for others all her life, and now she was going to make a CD of her own. My mind flashed back to the day when she told me she was too old to learn. You can imagine my surprise and delight.
To produce the CD, she had a lot of things to learn. It was not just sitting at the piano and playing. She had to research the songs, learn about copyright(版权), and learn about marketing. It was pretty amazing for someone who once said she was too old to learn. And finally she made it. Now she has her own CD-Mixed Blessings.
Most of you probably have heard about some people who have gone back to university in their seventies and have also graduated. They are on their way again to charging themselves with a new skill and a new attitude towards life. The point is you are unable to learn anything at any age if you believe you are too old. On the contrary, you can achieve anything at any age if you believe you can.

(2019·福州高一检测)
The words “protect animals” appear everywhere in books and on screens because some animals are in danger of dying out. But sometimes the reality can be a little different from what people read or watch.
Florida, US, has held its first bear hunt since 1994. The local government gave people nearly 4, 000 permits to kill black bears. And more than 200 were killed on Oct 24.
Animal protection groups protested this decision. But local officials explained that the black bear population had grown to 3, 500 and become a menace to local people. In the past two years, bears have hurt at least four people in Florida.
This brings an old question back into the spotlight—which is more important, protecting animals or protecting people’s interests?
This question is asked in other countries too. In Switzerland, a wolf was sentenced to death by the Swiss government months ago. This is because the wolf killed 38 sheep and local people lost a lot of money. Days ago in China, three old men were arrested for killing a serow(鬣羚), a protected species. But they insisted they didn’t know about this and killed the animal because it ruined their crops.
However, these stories don’t always mean that animal protection stops
