Read the following passage carefully and choose the correct answer to each question.
How can scientists predict earthquakes? Earthquakes are not scattered anywhere but happen in certain
areas. They happen in places where pieces of the earth’s surface meet. This pattern causes them to shake the
same places many times. For example, earthquakes often occur on the west-coast of North and South America,
around the Mediterranean Sea, and along the Pacific coast of Asia.
Another way to predict earthquakes is to look for changes in the earth’s surface, like a sudden drop of
water level in the ground. Some people say animals can predict earthquakes. Before earthquakes people have
seen chickens sitting in trees, fish jumping out of the water, snakes leaving their holes and other animals
acting strangely.
After an earthquake happens, people can die from lack of food, water, and medical supplies. The amount
of destruction caused by an earthquake depends on where it happens, what time it happens, and how long it is.
It also depends on types of building, soil conditions and population. Of the 6000 earthquakes in the earth each
year, only about fifteen cause great damage and many deaths.
31. Earthquakes happen in certain areas where ____________.
A. the population is large B. pieces of the earth’s surface meet

32. Earthquakes often happen along ____________.
A. the east-coast of North America B. the east-coast of South America
C. the Pacific coast of Asia D. the coast of Australia
33. Looking for ____________ can help predict earthquakes.
A. changes in the earth’s surface B. water beneath the earth’s surface
C. drops of water D. water currents
34. After an earthquake, as a result of ____________ people can die.
