The number of the death from the 7.0-magnitude earthquake that hit Ya’an in southwestern China's Sichuan Province has risen to 188, according to latest calculations by local Civil Affairs Bureau(as of 18:00 pm, April 22, ). At least 11,826 were reportedly injured in the quake while 25 are still missing.

Energy released from Wenchuan earthquake would be 30 times of that from Ya’an quake, according to Zhang Xiaonan, an expert with China's Geophysical Union. Dai Junwu with Harbin-based seismological bureau (地震局)expects the number of the death at less than 1,000, and economic losses from the quake could reach up to 100 billion yuan.

Answer 1

小題1:B
小題2:B
小題3:A
小題4:D
試題分析：這篇短文介紹的是發生在2013年4月20日的雅安地震。許多房屋在地震中倒塌，很多人死亡，更多的人受傷，變得無家可歸。地震給我們國家帶來了巨大的經濟損失。國務院總理李克強飛到雅安指揮救災工作。

小題1:細節理解題。根據文章的第一句話On April 20th,2013, a big and powerful earthquake attacked Ya’an可知，在2013年4月20號，雅安發生了大地震。故選B。
小題2:細節理解題。根據文章第二段最后一句話At least 11,826 were reportedly injured in the quake可知，截止4月22日18：00，至少有11,826人在地震中受傷。故選B。
小題3:詞義猜測題。該詞出現在第一段A great many buildings and houses collapsed中，我們知道，發生地震的時候，會導致房屋倒塌，故collapsed 的意思就是倒塌。A 選項fell down suddenly 即突然倒下來與它的意思最為接近。B選項意為重建；C選項意為燒成平地；D選項意為成碎片。故選A。
小題4:細節理解題。根據文章第四段Dai Junwu with Harbin-based seismological bureau expects the number of the death at less than 1,000, and economic losses from the quake could reach up to 100 billion yuan.可知是Dai Junwu而不是Zhang Xiaonan預計經濟損失可能達到1000億元，故D項表達不對。根據Energy released from Wenchuan earthquake would be 30 times of that from Ya’an quake可知A項正確；根據Chinese Premier Li Keqiang who flew to the quicken-stricken area on Sunday, the second day of the quake.可知B正確；根據the 8.0 magnitude quake hit Wenchuan on May 12, 2008, also in Sichuan Province, which killed more than 80,000可知C正確。故選D。
