Study Helps Predict Big Mediterranean Quake
Scientists have found evidence that an overlooked fault ( 斷層) in the eastem Mediterranean is likely to produce an earthquake every 800 years as powerful as the one that destroyed Alandria in A.D. 365.
Using radiocarbon techniques, simulations and computer models, the researchers recreated the ancient disaster in order to identify the responsible fault. "We are saying there is probably a repeat time of 800 years for this kind of earthquake," said Ms Beth Shaw, an earthquake scientist at the University of Cambridge, who led the study. Scientists study past earthquakes in order to determine the future possibility of similar large shocks.
Identifying the fault for the A.D. 365 earthquake and tsunami is important for the tens of millions of people in the region, Ms. Shaw said. The fault close to the southwest coast of Crete last produced a big enough quake to generate a tsunami about 1300, which means the powerful one could come in the 100 years, she added in a telephone interview.
Ms. Shaw and her colleagues calculate the likely intervals by measuring the motion of either side of the fault to find how often such large earthquakes would have to occur to account for that level of motion, she said. Their computer model suggested an 8 magnitude quake on the fault would produce a tsunami that floods the coastal regions of Alandria and North Africa, the southem coast of Greece and Sicily all the way up the Adriati to Dubrovnik. This would be similar to the ancient quake in A.D. 365 that caused widespread destruction in much of Greece and unleashed a tsunami that flooded Alandria and the Nile Delta, likely killing tens of thousands of people, she said.

答案與解析：
16.A。題幹：這個一直被忽略的斷層，已經得到科學家的仔細研究。文章的主題是，以往科學家忽視了地中海斷層的存在。現在地震學家對地中海斷層進行研究，並認定斷層的運動造成了公元365年的地震，以及推算出地震和海嘯發生的.週期。所以，本句表達的意思是對的。
17.B。題幹：確定公元365年地震和海嘯的錯誤，是很有意思的事情。文章第三段說到，“認定斷層造成了公元365年的地震，這一認定對該地區的幾千萬人來說是重要的”。把這項研究說成是有趣的與原文“重要的”意思不同，所以是錯誤的。
18.C。題幹：碳放射技術被用來確定地球的年齡。全文沒有一處提到radiocarbon techniques可用來確定地球的年齡。因此選擇C。
19.A。題幹：科學家預測地中海東部強震可能會發生在2100年。Shaw女士和她的研究組認定，地中海東部斷層的移動每800年左右會引發一次超強地震。前兩次發生的時間分別是365年和1300年左右。根據這一推斷，在未來100年中，會發生一次超強地震。第三段對此有說明，因此選A。
20.A。題幹：讓她的同事幫助她作地震的預測研究。這旬表達的意思與原文相符，原句第四段第一句：“ and her colleagues calculate the likely intervals by measuring the motion of either side of the fault to gauge how often such large earthquakes would have to occurto account forthat level ofmotion”。因此A爲正確選項。
21.B。題幹：測量斷層兩面來確定發生在公元365年的地震強度。Shaw女士和她的研究組測量過the motion of either side of the fault，但目的不是爲了identify the magnitude of the earthquake taking place in A.D.365，而是爲了find how often such large earthquakes would have to occur to account for that level ofmotion(發現如此強烈的地震造成該運動的頻率)，因此答案爲B。
22.C。題幹：開發的地震的預測設備在全世界被廣泛使用。縱觀全文，文章中沒有一句提到Shaw女士發明過地震的預測裝置，更沒有談及這種裝置在全世界得到廣泛應用這一點。
