B.By noting where the most severe earthquake in U. S. history occurred.
C.By describing the destructive power of earthquakes.
D.By explaining some essential geological principles.

参考答案

正确答案:B
解析:细节题。本题问“他如何开始自己的演讲”,文中提到he decided to begin by noting that the most severe earthquake in American history took place not in California or Alaska but at New Madrid, Missouri in 1811.(他决定从讲解1811年发生在密苏里州新马德里——美国历史上最严重的大地震,而不是加利福尼亚或阿拉斯加的地震开始说起。)选项B“从美国历史上发生过的最严重的地震说起。”符合题意。选项A“反映之前美国预测地震失败的例子”;选项C“描述地震的损伤力”;选项D“解释一些必要的地质学原理”。文中均未提及,因此B为正确答案。
