Moderate Earthquake Strikes England
A moderate earthquake struck parts of southeast England on 28 April 2007, shaking chimneys from houses and rousing residents from their beds. Several thousand people were left without powerin Kent County. One woman suffered minor head and neck injuries.
"It felt as if the whole house was being slid across like a fun-fair ride," said the woman.
The British Geological Survey said the 4.3-magnitude quake struck at 8:19 a.m. and was centered under the English Channel, about 8.5 miles south of Dover and near the entrance to the Channel Tunnel.
Witnesses said cracks appeared in walls and chimneys collapsed across the county. Residents said the shake had lasted for about 10 to 15 seconds.
"I was lying in bed and it felt as if someone had just got up from bed next to me," said Hendrick van Eck, 27, of Canterbury about 60 miles southeast of London." I then heard the sound of cracking, and it was getting heavier and heavier. It felt as if someone was at the end of my bed hopping up and down."
There are thousands of moderate quakes on this scale around the world each year, but they are rare in Britain. The April 28 quake was the strongest in Britain since 2002 when a 4.8-magnitude quake struck the central England city of Birmingham.
The country's strongest earthquake took place in the North Sea in 1931, measuring 6.1 on the Richter scale. British Geological Survey scientist Roger Masson said the quake took place on 28 April in an area that had seen several of the biggest earthquakes ever to strike Britain, including one in 1580 that caused damage in London and was felt in France. Masson predicted that it was only a matter of timebefore another earthquake struck this part of England. However, people should not be scared too much by this prediction, Masson said, as the modem earthquake warning system of Britain should be able to detect a forthcoming quake and announce it several hours before it takes place. This would allow time for people to evacuate (疏散) and reduce damage to the minimum.

1.B。題干：2007年4月28日的地震致使全英格蘭都停電了。利用題干中的時間和關鍵詞power可以定位到第一段，由該段可知是英格蘭東南部的肯特郡電力中斷了，幾千名居民無電可用，而非整個英格蘭。題干將原文的范圍擴大了，所以答案為B。
2.C。題干：地震發生后，海峽隧道關閉了10個小時。利用題干關鍵詞Channel Tunnel和數字10進行定位，發現題干表達的內容在短文中找不到，故答案為C。
3.A。題干：地震中一個婦女的頭部和頸部受了點輕傷。利用題干關鍵詞head and neck可以定位到第一段最后一句，由該句可知選項A是答案。
4.C。題干：法國和其他幾個歐洲國家派遣他們的醫療隊去英國與當地的醫生并肩工作。利用題干關鍵詞France and European進行定位，發現題干內容在短文中找不到，故答案為C。
5.B。題干：英國最強烈的地震于1580年發生在倫敦。利用題干關鍵詞1580進行定位，發現題干與短文表述的事實不符，而短文第七段第一句明確地說，英國最強烈的地震于1931年發生在北海。題干表達的信息是錯誤的，故答案為B。
6.A。題干：Masson預言在英格蘭東南部遲早將發生另一次地震。利用題干關鍵詞Masson和predict進行定位，可以定位到短文最后一段第三句，即southeast England發生另外一場地震只是時問問題。題干所表達的意思與原文相符，所以答案是A。
7.A。題干：從短文可以推斷英格蘭很少發生大強度的地震。本題比較難，需要依據相關細節進行推斷。短文第六段第一句說，全球每年發生強度為里氏4級左右的地震有幾千次，但是這種中等強度的地震在英格蘭很少發生。據此，讀者可以推斷出，高震級的地震在英格蘭就更少見了。
