Scientists are utilizing (利用) new technology that allows them     1     (study) millions of small earthquakes in the hope    2     being able to predict (预测) the next big one.

The study comes out of the Los Alamous National Laboratory. It shows how advancing computer technology is now able to read 10 times the number of earthquakes previously       3     (record), as local experts of geology, Patrick Abbott explained.

“We     4     (know) since the 1800s that earthquakes come in swarms (群) — you get smaller ones, and a lot of aftershocks as well; but we have never been able to tell the difference between a foreshock     5     a big shock until afterwards, you look back over it,” explained Abbott. “you start with: here is the shaking from one earthquake, here is the shaking from another one, and try to sort     6     (they) all out and it turns out there is almost     7     (exact) 10 times as many earthquakes as we had thought.” The new technology showed some small earthquakes     8     had never been picked up before; like a magnitude (震级) of negative 2.0. Those earthquakes are considered invisible (看不见的) but by     9     (see) them collectively now, scientists can see where those happened before a 4.0 magnitude quake.

He said the study does not solve the problem of predicting earthquakes, but seeing when smaller ones are shaking gives     10     (researcher) a better shot at predicting a bigger one.
