小伙伴們，GRE考試大家復(fù)習(xí)的怎么樣了呢？下面是幫考網(wǎng)分享的一些GRE考試閱讀部分的復(fù)習(xí)資料，一起來看看吧！

釋義及答案：

5

Although scientists have long viewed such subtle interactions as nonexistent, the hypothesis has explained the location and frequency of earthquakes following several destructive quakes in California, Japan, and Turkey.

盡管科學(xué)家們一直認(rèn)為不存在這種小互動(dòng)，但這種假設(shè)解釋了發(fā)生在加州，日本和土耳其的，一系列緊跟著破壞性大地震的，地震的地點(diǎn)和頻率。

1. According to the passage, which of the following is an assumption that may be invalidated by recent seismological evidence?

A. Earthquakes are caused by stresses building up in faults within Earth’s crust.

B. Most major earthquakes can be predicted with reasonable accuracy.

C. Faults are highly responsive to even minor stresses in neighboring faults.

D. Most major earthquakes are followed by predictable aftershocks.

E. A fault that has resulted in a major earthquakebecomes quiet for a long period.

選 E

細(xì)節(jié)題，根據(jù)在句 1：

Most seismologists assume that following a major earthquake and its aftershocks, the fault (a break in Earth’s crust where pressure can trigger an earthquake)will remain quiet until stresses have time to rebuild, typically over hundreds or thousands of years.

句 2 說這種假設(shè)被挑戰(zhàn)了：

Recent evidence of subtle interactions between earthquakes may overturn this assumption, however.

For the following question, consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply.

2. The passage suggests that most seismologists believe which of the following about fault stresses?

A. They are dissipated when they result in an earthquake.

B. They are transferred between neighboring faults.

C. They will not cause a major earthquake along the same fault in the space of a few years.

選 AC

另一道細(xì)節(jié)題。

most seismologists 持哪種觀點(diǎn)?

根據(jù)第一句，他們同意作者攻擊的那種觀點(diǎn)，即認(rèn)為斷層經(jīng)過一次地震后，要安靜一段時(shí)間，等積蓄了足夠力量才會再次爆發(fā)。

所以選 AC。

B 屬于作者支持的新假設(shè)，即壓力仍潛伏在斷層沿線或周圍，稍有風(fēng)吹草動(dòng)它們要觸發(fā)另一次地震，所以不選。

好了，以上就是今天分享的全部內(nèi)容了，各位小伙伴根據(jù)自己的情況進(jìn)行查閱，希望本文對各位有所幫助，預(yù)祝各位取得滿意的成績，如需了解更多相關(guān)內(nèi)容，請關(guān)注幫考網(wǎng)！
