Question

讀寫任務(wù)(滿分25分) 
閱讀下面的短文，然后按照要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文。
An earthquake happened in Bam（伊朗的巴姆市） on December 26, 2003. About 30,000 people were killed and more were injured. Many of those killed by the earthquake died only because of poor building methods and a lack of proper regulation.
In Iran, as in many developing countries, earthquake that ought to be survivable（不致命的）often bring human disaster because buildings collapse (倒塌) on top of people. Two days before Christmas, California was struck by an earthquake similar in magnitude (強度) to the one that hit Iran Saturday, but only three people died, thanks largely to safer construction methods. A quake measuring 8.0 caused just 500 injuries and no deaths in Japan in September 2003.
Bam, however, was a disaster waiting to happen. Efforts to bring industrial development to what was a backward agricultural area caused a population boom (激增)and a shortage of housing, which local builders tried to meet with cheap homes, or by adding extra floors to existing houses. Many buildings collapse [even] without earthquakes, because of the poor construction.

Answer 1

The Bam earthquake on December 26,2003 caused about 30,000 deaths and more injuries mainly because of the poorly built homes 。but similar kind of earthquakes that happened in the U.S  and Japan caused much fewer or no deaths at all。
In my opinion ，the disaster could have been avoided ，for earthquakes of similar magnitude that happened in California and Japan didn’t cause such a serious human disaster。
The first reason why the disaster that happened in Iran caused such heavy damage is that to make money the builders just used poor methods ，which would save them the cost ，the second is that there was lack of proper regulation。
I think the most important measure to take is that the government should make a law to make sure that the builders use advanced methods and high-quality building material to build the houses. If they break the law, they should be punished. Besides the government can also try to build some houses and rent the rooms at a lower price to the people who cannot afford to buy a house.
I think these are ways that can help us avoid such disaster.
