C。本题考查对事件发生先后顺序的判断，需找准时间状语。文章一开头就提到，第一批真正的城市于5000年前出现在中东，第二段开头又提到当城市生活的基础在欧洲建立时，城市的传统也经由希腊文明和罗马文明，从远古的中东城市传承下来，由此可以推断中东地区的城市出现在希腊、罗马之前，故本题选C。

2 根据以下资料,回答题:
        Most earthquakes occur within the upper 15 miles of the earth's surface．But earthquakes can and do occur at all depths to about 460 miles．Their number decreases as the depth increases．At about 460 miles one earthquake occurs only every few years．Near the surface earthquakes may run as high as 100,in a month, but the yearly average does not vary much．In comparison with the total number of earthquakes each year, the number of disastrous earthquakes is very small．
        The extent of the disaster in an earthquake depends on many factors．If you carefully build a toy house with an erect set, it will still stand no matter how much you shake the table．But if you build a toy house with a pack of cards, a slight shake of the table will make it fall．An earthquake in Agadir, Morocco, was not Strong enough to be recorded on distant instruments, but it completely destroyed the city．Many stronger earthquakes have done comparatively little damage．If a building is well constructed and built on solid ground, it will resist an earthquake．
Most deaths in earthquakes have been due to faulty building construction or poor building sites．A third and very serious factor is panic．When people rush out into narrow streets, more deaths will result．
        The Unted Nations has played an important part in reducing the damage done by earthquakes．It has sent a team of experts to all countries known to be affected by earthquakes．Working with local geologists and engineers,the experts have studied the nature of the ground and the type of most practical building code for the local area．If followed, these suggestions will make disastrous earthquakes almost a thing of the past．
        There is one type of earthquake disaster that little can be done about．This is the disaster caused by seismic sea waves, or tsunamis．(These are often called tidal waves, but the name is incorrect．They have nothing to do with　tides．) In cectain areas, earthquakes take place beneath the sea．These submarine earthquakes sometimes give rise　to seismic sea waves．The waves are not noticeable out at sea because of their long wave length．But when they roll　into harbors they pile up into walls of water 6 to 60 feet high．The Japanese call them "tsunamis", meaning　"harbor waves", because they reach a sizable height only in harbors．
        Tsunamis travel fairly slowly, at speeds up to 500 miles an hour．An adequate warning system is in use to warn　all shores likely to be reached by the waves．But this only enables people to leave the threatened shores for higher　ground．There is no way to stop the oncoming wave．
