Earthquake in Yushu At 7:49 am on April 14th,2010, a 7.1 magnitude(震级)earthquake struck Yushu county of Yushu Tibetan autonomous prefecture in Qinghai province, setting off a series of major aftershocks that measured up to 6.3.,“We cannot rule out the occurrence of another strong aftershock with a magnitude of around 6，” Liu Jie, director of the forecasting department of the China Earthquake Networks Center, said on Wednesday. The spate of earthquakes signaled that Chinas mainland could have entered a “relatively active” seismic(地震的)period, he said. The Chinese mainland has not seen any earthquake as big as 6 magnitudes between August 2009 and April 2010, CEAs records show.,The latest period of strong seismic activities in Chinas mainland was during 2008, when an 8 magnitude earthquake flattened an area around Wenchuan county in the Southwest Chinas Sichuan province in May that year, leaving about 88,000 dead or missing. The Yushu quake also added to a string of remarkable earth movements worldwide, said Sun Shihong, a chief forecaster with the China Earthquake Networks Center, referring to the recent deadly earthquakes in Haiti and Chile.,1教材原句It seemed as if the world was at an end.(U4P26) 真题呈现(2010天津，11)Joining the firm as a clerk, he got rapid promotion，and_as a manager.
