Exactly 20 yea
4、rs ago, a Time magazine cover story announced that “scientists are on the verge of being able to predict the time, place and even the size of earthquakes”. The people of quake-ruined Kobe (神户) learned last week how wrong that assertion was.None of the methods praised two decades ago have succeeded.
5、Even now, scientists have yet to discover a uniform warning signal that precedes all quakes, let alone any sign that would tell whether the coming quake is mild or a killer. Earthquake formation can be triggered by many factors, says Hiroo Kanamori, a seismologist at the California Institute of Tech
6、nology. So finding one all-purpose warning sigh is impossible. One reason: quakes start deep in the earth, so scientists cant study them directly.If a quake precursor were found, it would still be impossible to warn humans in advance of all dangerous quakes. Places like Japan and California are fill
7、ed with hundreds, if not thousands, of minor faults. It is impossible to place monitoring instruments on all of them. And these inconspicuous sites can be just as deadly as their better-known cousins like the San Andreas (圣安得列斯断层).Both the Kobe and the 1994 Northridge quakes occurred on small faults
8、.Prediction would be less important if scientists could easily build structures to withstand tremors. While seismic engineering has improved dramatically in the past 10 to 15 years, every new quake reveals unexpected weaknesses in “quake-resistant” structures, says Terry Tullis, a geophysicist at Br
9、own University. In Kobe, for example, a highway that opened only last year was damaged.In the Northridge earthquake, on the other hand, well-built structures generally did not collapse. But engineers have since found hidden problems in 120 steel-frame buildings that survived. Such structures are sup
10、posed to sway with the earth rather than crumple. They may have swayed but the quake also unexpectedly weakened the joints in their steel skeletons. If the shaking had been longer or stronger, the buildings might have collapsed.A recent report in Science adds yet more anxiety about life on the fault
11、 lines. Researchers can computer simulations to see how quake-resistant buildings would fare in a moderate-size tremor, taking into account that much of a quakes energy travels in a large “pulse” of focused shaking. The results: both steel-frame buildings and buildings that sit on insulating rubber
12、pads suffered severe damage.More research will help experts design stronger structures and possibly find quake precursors. But it is still a certainty that the next earth will prove once again that every fault cannot be monitored and every highway cannot be completely quake-proofed.1.Which of the fo
13、llowing statements is true about Kobe?2.The authors focus in Para. 3 is on （ ）.3.Its impossible to avoid damages in earthquakes because（ ）.4.It is implied in the passage that（ ）.5.The best title for this passage could be（ ）.问题1选项A.Last weeks quake occurred on small faults.B.People there believe in s
