二、阅读理解（共1道小题，共50.0分）

1.Scientists in the United States have developed a method

that may help to predict earthquakes earlier. They say it could give people who live in deadly earthquake areas enough warning

to leave before an earthquake hits.

Currently, the most modern systems for predicting earthquakes

find them only a short time before the event. Like most strong

earthquakes, the one that hit southwestern China in May was not identified early enough for people to flee the area. That

earthquake killed sixty-nine thousand people.

But scientists who study earthquakes are reporting that

new technology could measure very small changes in the Earth's surface. Their report was published this month in Nature

magazine.

Fenglin Niu is a seismologist （地震学家）with Rice University in Houston, Texas. He and his team performed experiments along

California's San Andreas Fault, an area famous for its many

earthquakes.

The team placed highly sensitive electrical devices about one kilometer below ground in two different places. The devices were able to measure even small changes in air pressure on the Earth's surface. The scientists say such changes are caused

when rocks push together, forcing air out of small cracks in the rock. When this happens, seismic （地震的）waves travel

faster than usual through the rock. （203字）
