1. Question35-2are based on the following passage. When the Earth shook here on March 26th, 2000, it helped geologists to figure out how the Earth around Seattle would shake during the real thing less than a year later.
When Seattle's Kingdome was demolished with explosives, more than 200 seismic recorders caught every rattle and roll.
Tom Brochcr of the U.S. Geological Survey says, "You can see the red waves traveling away from the Kingdome. "
The areas that shook the worst then also shook the worst when the six point eight (on the Richter scale ) Nisqually earthquake hit.
"'We shouldn't be surprised to see damage at Boeing field and at the port of Seattle where we did see damage, because in both of those areas the ground shook longer and harder than other parts of Seattle."
It's what's known as a slab quake (located) 36 miles below the surface where the Juan de Fuca plate slab is diving underneath the North American plate. Geologists believe the plate bent, causing it to crack, and sending shock waves to the surface.
Tom Brocher says, "As soon as we knew it was a deep earthquake--that it was this type of earthquake-we immediately put out the word that we should expect very few aftershocks. ”
There were only 4. In San Francisco's Loma Prieta earthquake here in 1989 which was closer to the surface, there were 120 afiershocks. The fact that "deep-focus" earthquakes have fewer afrershocks still puzzles geologists.
Brocher says, "What we can tell people is you're not going to have these ( aftershocks ). What we can't tell them why. And that's a research issue. ""
Geologists say the Nisqually quake originated from almost the same spot as the 1949 quake there, and had the same damage patterns. There were fewer landslides this year because of the lack of rain.
Over the next year and hal~ researchers want to set offexplosives at the surface near Seattle, aimed at the slab 37 miles below.
The waves will then bounce offthe slab and reflect back to the surface giving information about where the plate is and how it's moving. So, before the Earth moves again, geologists will have an idea which places might be destined to shake the hardest.

Perhaps like most Americans you have some extra pounds to shed. You may even have tried a fad(时尚) diet or two, but found yourself right back where you 1 . The key to weight loss is regular 2 activity. And surprisingly, you don't have to give up eating or make the gym your second home to see long-term, 3 effects. Your body needs a certain amount of energy to maintain basic 4 such as breathing, blood circulation and digestion. The energy required to keep your organs functioning is referred to as the resting or basal metabolic rate.
Any time you are active, 5 energy is required. It is obtained from glycogen (糖原) and fat stored in the blood, liver, and muscles. The key to losing weight is to draw on the fat rather than on the carbohydrate reserves. Which of the two energy sources you use depends on the intensity and 6 of your activity? The higher the intensity, the more your body will pull from the stored carbohydrates. The lower the intensity, the 7 your body will rely on fat as its fuel.
Aerobic exercise is most 8 for weight loss. When you perform aerobic activities you 9 contract large muscle groups such as your legs and arms. Walking, running, rollerblading, swimming, dancing, and jumping jacks are all forms of aerobic activity. Surprisingly, if your aerobic activity is low to moderately intense and of long duration, you will bum more fat than if you had 10 in a short burst of high-intensity exercise. In short, a brisk 30-minute walk will bum fat while a 100-yard sprint will burn glycogen.
A．positive F．physical K．started
B．additional G．activities L．repeatedly
C．duration H．functions M．less
D．effective I．participated N．amount
E．more J．efficient O．obviously
