答案解析

题干：根据短文，下列哪项是正确的?判断题。利用选项A的关键词Roger Fours和three可以定位到第三段的最后一句，可知是Washoe教三只年幼的猩猩学习手语，而不是Roger Fouts，所以选项A与原文信息不一致；利用选项B的关键词Washoe和first可以定位到第一段的倒数第二旬，可知Washoe被认为是第一个学习手语的非人类动物，由此可知选项B与原文信息一致；利用选项C的关键词可以定位到第一段的第二句，可知一只在美国华盛顿州研究中心的猩猩因为自然原因在上个月末死亡，所以选项c与原文信息不一致；利用选项D的关键词进行定位，没有发现相关信息。因而该题答案为B(Washoe是第一只使用美国手语的猩猩)。

Moderate Earthquake Strikes England

A moderate earthquake struck parts of southeast England on 28 April 2007, toppling chimneys from houses and rousing residents from their beds. Several thousand people were left without power in Kent County. One woman suffered minor head and neck injuries.
"It felt as if the whole house was being slid across like a fun-fair ride," said the woman.
The British Geological Survey said the 4.3-magnitude quake struck at 8:19 a.m. and was centered under the English Channel, about 8.5 miles south of Dover and near the entrance to the Channel Tunnel.
Witnesses said cracks appeared in walls and chimneys collapsed across the county. Residents said the tremor had lasted for about 10 to 15 seconds.
"I was lying in bed and it felt as if someone had just got up from bed next to me." Said Hendrick van Eck,27, of Canterbury about 60 miles southeast of London." I then heard the sound of cracking, and it was getting heavier and heavier. It felt as if someone was at the end of my bed hopping up and down."
There are thousands of moderate quakes on this scale around the world each year, but they are rare in Britain. The April 28 quake was the strongest in Britain since 2002 when a 4.8-magnitude quake struck the central England city of Birmingham.
The country's strongest earthquake took place in the North Sea in 193 l, measuring 6.1 on the Richter scale. British Geological Survey scientist Roger Musson said the quake took place on 28 April in an area that had seen several of the biggest earthquakes ever to strike Britain, including one in 1580 that caused damage in London and was felt in France. Musson predicted that it was only a matter of time before another earthquake struck this part of England. However, people should not be scared too much by this prediction, Musson said, as the modern earthquake warning system of Britain should be able to detect a forthcoming quake and announce it several hours before it takes place. This would allow time for people to evacuate and reduce damage to the minimum.
The biggest earthquake took place in Britain__________.

A．in 1931.

B．in 1580.

C．in2002.

D．in2007.
