At about 460 miles one earthquake occurs only every few years. Near the surface earthquakes may run as【C2】________ as 100 in a month, but the yearly average does not vary much.

H
解析
上下文题及词义辨析题。根据词性,此处应当填入动词。根据下文“地底460英里处几年才发生一次地震,而接近地表处可能一个月就发生100次”,可见越深人地底,地震次数越少。可选范围为“decreases,lessens”,而lessen的意思是“减轻”,比如说“减轻痛苦,减轻疼痛,减轻影响”;decrease的意思是量上的减少,是客观的。故选decreases。
