Study Helps Predict Big Mediterranean Quake

Scientists have found evidence that an overlooked fault ( 断层) in the eastem Mediterranean is likely to produce an earthquake every 800 years as powerful as the one that destroyed Alandria in A.D. 365.

Using radiocarbon techniques, simulations and computer models, the researchers recreated the ancient disaster in order to identify the responsible fault. "We are saying there is probably a repeat time of 800 years for this kind of earthquake," said Ms Beth Shaw, an earthquake scientist at the University of Cambridge, who led the study. Scientists study past earthquakes in order to determine the future possibility of similar large shocks.

Identifying the fault for the A.D. 365 earthquake and tsunami is important for the tens of millions of people in the region, Ms. Shaw said. The fault close to the southwest coast of Crete last produced a big enough quake to generate a tsunami about 1300, which means the powerful one could come in the 100 years, she added in a telephone interview.

Ms. Shaw and her colleagues calculate the likely intervals by measuring the motion of either side of the fault to find how often such large earthquakes would have to occur to account for that level of motion, she said. Their computer model suggested an 8 magnitude quake on the fault would produce a tsunami that floods the coastal regions of Alandria and North Africa, the southem coast of Greece and Sicily all the way up the Adriati to Dubrovnik. This would be similar to the ancient quake in A.D. 365 that caused widespread destruction in much of Greece and unleashed a tsunami that flooded Alandria and the Nile Delta, likely killing tens of thousands of people, she said.

　答案与解析：

16.A。题干：这个一直被忽略的断层，已经得到科学家的仔细研究。文章的主题是，以往科学家忽视了地中海断层的存在。现在地震学家对地中海断层进行研究，并认定断层的运动造成了公元365年的地震，以及推算出地震和海啸发生的.周期。所以，本句表达的意思是对的。

17.B。题干：确定公元365年地震和海啸的错误，是很有意思的事情。文章第三段说到，“认定断层造成了公元365年的地震，这一认定对该地区的几千万人来说是重要的”。把这项研究说成是有趣的与原文“重要的”意思不同，所以是错误的。

18.C。题干：碳放射技术被用来确定地球的年龄。全文没有一处提到radiocarbon techniques可用来确定地球的年龄。因此选择C。

19.A。题干：科学家预测地中海东部强震可能会发生在2100年。Shaw女士和她的研究组认定，地中海东部断层的移动每800年左右会引发一次超强地震。前两次发生的时间分别是365年和1300年左右。根据这一推断，在未来100年中，会发生一次超强地震。第三段对此有说明，因此选A。

20.A。题干：让她的同事帮助她作地震的预测研究。这旬表达的意思与原文相符，原句第四段第一句：“ and her colleagues calculate the likely intervals by measuring the motion of either side of the fault to gauge how often such large earthquakes would have to occurto account forthat level ofmotion”。因此A为正确选项。

21.B。题干：测量断层两面来确定发生在公元365年的地震强度。Shaw女士和她的研究组测量过the motion of either side of the fault，但目的不是为了identify the magnitude of the earthquake taking place in A.D.365，而是为了find how often such large earthquakes would have to occur to account for that level ofmotion(发现如此强烈的地震造成该运动的频率)，因此答案为B。

22.C。题干：开发的地震的预测设备在全世界被广泛使用。纵观全文，文章中没有一句提到Shaw女士发明过地震的预测装置，更没有谈及这种装置在全世界得到广泛应用这一点。
