　　松江二中2017学年第一学期期中试卷
　　高三 英语
　　（考试时间 120分钟  满分 150分）
　　I. Listening Comprehension 略
　　II. Grammar and Vocabulary (30%)
　　Section A (15%)
　　Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanse one word that best fits each blank.
　　Two strong earthquakes, 12 days apart,   1    (shake) Mexico this month. They caused widespread damage in the developing country, sending frightened people into the streets and killing hundreds of people who were unable to escape the destruction.
　　Just before midnight on September 7. a magnitude-8.1 earthquake—   2    (powerful) to hit Mexico in a century— rocked the southern part of the country. Then, last Tuesday, a magnitude-7.1 earthquact 160 kilometers southeast of Mexico City, the capital.
　　It's not common to hear of such strong earthquakes    3    (happen) so close to one another. “Usually, you don' t have large ones in the same general region right away,” says John Bellini, a scientist with the U.S. Geological Survey. “However in highly seismically （跟地震有关地）active regions of the world, it can happen.”
　　Mexico qualifies as highly active. The country sits at the boundary three pieces of Earth’s crust（地壳）that fit together like a jigsaw puzzle（拼版玩具）—   4    (call) tectonic plates.（板块）As one plate slides slowly    5    another, stress builds up over time. At some point, the stress becomes so great that all the energy released in the form of an earthquake.
　　Mexico City is especially likely    6    (suffer) severe damage. That’s because it sits on   ___7___ ancient lakebed. When earthquake shockwaves pass through it, it shap and down, from side to side, just like jello（果冻）.
　　Some    8    wonder whether it was the September 7 quake that caused the one that happened last weet the epicenters（集中）of the-two quakes are about 645 kilometers apart,         ___9___ it’s unusual for a strong aftershock to occur this long after a major quake. Therefore, Bellini thinks it's unlikely the two are released.
　　There's another coincidence. Last week's earthquake    10    (fall) on the 32nd anniversary of the 1985 Mexico quake that left roughly 10,000 people dead. But Bellini suggests people not read into the timing too much. There's no such thing as an earthquake season. Earthquakes can happen at any time.
　　【答案】have shaken；the most powerful；happening；called；under；to suffer；an；may；and；fell.
　　【分析】
　　1. 考查谓语。根据文章时态判断此处为现在完成时，且主语是复数，所以填have shaken
　　2. 考查形容词的比较级,两次地震之间进行比较。
　　3. 考查非谓语之现在分词做定语的情况，
　　4. 考查非谓语之过去分词做定语的情况，被动，故填called
　　5. 考查介词。再根据句意，填under
　　6. 考查非谓语,be likely to do
　　7. 考查冠词。泛指，表一类事物,故填an
　　8. 考查情态动词，此空位于主语和谓语间，再根据句意，填情态动词may
　　9. 考查连词。本句是对上句进行解释，并不是第一次地震导致了第二次地震，空格前后两句都是其原因，为并列关系，因此填并列连词and
　　10. 考查谓语。根据Last week断此处为一般过去时，故填fell
