Although the official number of deaths was 311, it is now believed that about 3,000 people were killed. About 250,000 people (two-thirds of the city’s population) were left homeless. They were forced to live in tents (帐篷) in public parks.

"Young adults in their twenties and adults in their thirties are actively seeking out careers, friendships,and romantic relations hips," Aftab wrote in an email to Live Science.

Aftab and his colleagues used data from a study of adults in San Diego County that recruited（招募）a large number of people aged 70 and older. This survey included a question about the level of meaning people found in their life and the level of their search for meaning. The 1,042 adults included in the study also answered questions over the telephone about their mental and physical health.

一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30.0分）
A
Wondering what the meaning of life is?Good news-you'll probably feel like you know when you're around age 60.That's the age when people report feeling that there's the most meaning in their lives, and they have the least need to search for meaning, according to a recently published research.
Fires broke out soon after the earthquake, caused primarily by overturned stoves (炉子) or damaged electrical wiring. Because the city’s water mains had suffered more than 300 breaks, no water was available (可用的) to fight the fires, which rapidly burned beyond control. To control the fire, firefighters began to dynamite (炸毁) buildings in its path. Unfortunately, this method sometimes spread the fire. By the evening of April 18, 1,700 soldiers had arrived inSan Franciscoto help both local people and the firefighters.
The research also found that as people's sense of meaning in life rises, so does their well-being. "People with purpose in life are physically and psychologically healthier," said Dr. Awais Aftab, a psychiatrist, who led the research.
Ansel Adams, age 4, survived the earthquake along with his family, though their house and many things were damaged. An aftershock threw youngAdamsface-first into a garden wall, giving him what his friend Cedric Wright would call an “earthquake nose.” Describing his broken nose, which was never repaired,Adamswould later joke, “My beauty was damaged forever. But he felt the power of the quake, which he called his “closest experience with terrible human suffering.”
The results showed that both sense of meaning and search for meaning tend to be U-shaped over a person's lifetime. Presence of meaning starts low in the 20s and gradually rises to a peak around age 60,on average, before declining again. The search for meaning is a mirror image:It starts high in people's 20s and drops to an all-time low around age 60 before climbing in older age.
4. What made it difficult to control the fire?
A. Damaged streets.
B. Fallen buildings.
C. The big problem of getting water.
D. The low number of firefighters.
A.People over 70 years old living alone.
B.Young adults in their 20s still hunting for a job.
C.People in their 50s with stable careers and families
D.Retired people in their 60s with various health problems.
1.Which of the following is a finding of the research？
A.People's sense of meaning in life increases with age.
B.Healthier people tend to lead a more meaningful life.
D.The influence of age on people's life purposes.
B
At 5:12 am on April 18, 1906, people living inSan Franciscowere awakened by a 40-second earthquake. After a 10-second stop, an even stronger earthquake struck, lasting 25 seconds. Survivors saw the ground move in waves as high as three feet. The earthquake damaged streets, and streetcar rails.
5. What was the situation like after the earthquake?
A. Dead bodies could be found in public parks.
After burning uncontrolled for three days, the fire finally burned itself out by the morning of April 21. More than 28,000 buildings had been destroyed, resulting in about $500 million in damage.
C.The level of search for meaning is fairly high in youth.
D.The levels of meaning and search for meaning correspond.
