It is very likely that they will be able to【C3】______ earthquakes or influence the direction of their movements,【C4】______ determined by events far below the surface of the earth. But the facts they report and the theories【C5】______ by those facts may enable scientists to【C6】______ the centers of future earth quakes and even【C7】______ the time of their【C8】______ .

选项
A、locate
B、place
C、fix
D、look
答案
A
解析
此题考查动词词义。……能够使科学家们……未来地震的震中; A项locate“指出……的位置;确定…的位置”;B项Place“放在……地方”;C项fix“固定;决定,确定”;D项look“看”;显然A项符合题意。C项很有干扰力,它所指的“确定”有很强的主观性,如:fix a place to meet确定见面的地点;与其相比,locate所指定的地方较客观,如:locate the place they met last time指出他们上次见面的地方。
