问题 Recurrence rates of earthquakes can help predict future quakes because ______.
Which of the following is used by modern scientists to indicate a coming earthquake?

选项 A、The crying of dogs.
B、The conductivity of rocks.
C、The changes in the water table.
D、The quantity of fluid in earth.

答案B

解析 由题干中的to indicate a coming earthquake定位到原文第二段第二句... modern scientists have focused on physical evidence for a coming earthquake.[精析] 事实细节题[考频:51]。原文第三段首句说Analysis of the changes in magnetic properties and conductivity of rocks provides further data for prediction.对岩石的磁性和导电性变化的分析提供了更多的预测数据,故B)“岩石的导电性”包含在内,为正确答案。[避错] A)是古希腊和罗马人的做法,排除;C)地下水位的变化是导致岩石含水量变化的原因:且为非地震原因,非题干要求的依据,排除;原文提到可以帮助预测地震的是“石头里液体的含量”,而不是“土壤里液体的含量”,也排除D)。
