小伙伴们，GRE考试大家复习的怎么样了呢？下面是帮考网分享的一些GRE考试阅读部分的复习资料，一起来看看吧！

释义及答案：

5

Although scientists have long viewed such subtle interactions as nonexistent, the hypothesis has explained the location and frequency of earthquakes following several destructive quakes in California, Japan, and Turkey.

尽管科学家们一直认为不存在这种小互动，但这种假设解释了发生在加州，日本和土耳其的，一系列紧跟着破坏性大地震的，地震的地点和频率。

1. According to the passage, which of the following is an assumption that may be invalidated by recent seismological evidence?

A. Earthquakes are caused by stresses building up in faults within Earth’s crust.

B. Most major earthquakes can be predicted with reasonable accuracy.

C. Faults are highly responsive to even minor stresses in neighboring faults.

D. Most major earthquakes are followed by predictable aftershocks.

E. A fault that has resulted in a major earthquakebecomes quiet for a long period.

选 E

细节题，根据在句 1：

Most seismologists assume that following a major earthquake and its aftershocks, the fault (a break in Earth’s crust where pressure can trigger an earthquake)will remain quiet until stresses have time to rebuild, typically over hundreds or thousands of years.

句 2 说这种假设被挑战了：

Recent evidence of subtle interactions between earthquakes may overturn this assumption, however.

For the following question, consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply.

2. The passage suggests that most seismologists believe which of the following about fault stresses?

A. They are dissipated when they result in an earthquake.

B. They are transferred between neighboring faults.

C. They will not cause a major earthquake along the same fault in the space of a few years.

选 AC

另一道细节题。

most seismologists 持哪种观点?

根据第一句，他们同意作者攻击的那种观点，即认为断层经过一次地震后，要安静一段时间，等积蓄了足够力量才会再次爆发。

所以选 AC。

B 属于作者支持的新假设，即压力仍潜伏在断层沿线或周围，稍有风吹草动它们要触发另一次地震，所以不选。
