答案与题解:
1.D前文说到日本的俯冲带地震是massive(巨大的),而且砂土液化到达一个significant level.根据上述描述,选widespread(分布广泛的)修饰severity是正确的。其他三个选项与severity搭配后,意思接不上。
2.C 本句由but连接并列的两个分句组成。第一个分句说以前也发生过地震引发的砂土液化的现象,但涉及范围较小。第二个分句通过but语气一转,说这次地震造成的破坏是罕见的。很显然,选extent(程度)与distance(距离,范围)合用说明破坏的程度和范围是符合上下文的意思的。
3.A 在The shifts in soil destroyed water, sewer and gas pipelines, crippling the utilities and infrastructure these communities need to中,these communities need to是定语从句,指代utilities和infrastructure的关系代词which在定语从句中起宾语作用,被省略了。need 后面的动词不定式的逻辑主语是which,也就是utilities and infrastructure.从意思上看,这些社区需要这些公用事业设备和基础设施起功能作用(function)。选function是对的。其他选项都不合适。
