But it will probably be the faults for changes that might many years before we can predict earthquakes accurately. And the control of earthquakes is even farther away. controlling
of been some interesting developments in the field Nevertheless, there have
earthquakes. The most interesting development concerns the Rocky Mountain Arsenal earthquakes. Here water was put into a layer of rocks 4000 meters below surface of the ground. Shortly after this injection of was decided that the water which of water, there were a small number earthquakes. Scientists have
the fault, the fault became slippery ”injected into rocks works like oil on each other. When the water“oiledthese site of are an earthquake was released. Scientists still experimenting at the the and energy of the between injection of the water and connection that earthquakes. They have realized there is a earthquake activity.

Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage: Passage Four
Sporting activities are essentially modified forms of hunting behavior. Viewed biologically, the modern footballer is in reality a member of a hunting group. His killing weapon has turned into a harmless football and his prey into a goalmouth. If his aim is accurate and he scores a goal, he enjoys the hunter's triumph of killing his prey.
To understand how this transformation has taken place we must briefly look back at our forefathers. They spent over a million years evolving(进化) as Cooperative hunters. Their very survival depended on success in the hunting field. （84）Under this pressure their whole way of life, even their bodies, became greatly changed：
They became chasers, runners, jumpers, aimers, throwers and prey killers. They cooperated as skillful male group attack.
Then about ten thousand years ago, after this immensely long period of hunting the food, they became farmers. Their improved intelligence, so vital to their old hunting life was put to a new use——that of controlling and domesticating (驯养) their prey. The hunt became suddenly out of date. The food was there on the farms, awaiting their needs. The risks and uncertainties of the hunt were no longer essential for survival. (85)The skills and thirst for hunting remained, however, and demanded new outlets. Hunting for sport
replaced hunting for necessity. This new activity involved all the original hunting sequences(后果), but the aim of the operation was no longer to avoid starvation. Instead the sportsmen set off to test their skill against prey
that was no longer essential to their survival. To be sure, the kill may have been eaten, but there were other purposes, much simpler of obtaining a meaty meal. 56. What is the main idea of the passage A. Hunting is very important in human civilization. B. Sporting activities satisfy the desire of modern society. It's hunting that provides human beings with food. C. D. The importance of sporting activities in modern society. 57. According to the author, sporting activities . A. are essential to the survival
B. have actually developed from hunting C. evolve as biological development D. are football games
58. For over a million years. our forefathers were basically . A. skillful sportsmen B. successful farmers D. cooperating hunters C. runners and jumpers 59. The word“operation (Par. 4)refers to . 60. Which of the following is true according to the passage A. The goalmouth is equal to the weapon in hunting.
B. hunting A. sports activities C. farmers D. prey killing
B. Without hunting our forefathers couldn't live.
C. After our forefathers became farmers they still hunted for food.
D. Farmers are satisfied with stable lives and they didn't have enthusiasm for hunting any more
