On April 20th,2013, a big and powerful earthquake attacked Ya’an, Sichuan Province. A great many buildings and houses collapsed, a lot of people were killed and even more people lost their homes in the earthquake .
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, ).

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.

解析【小題1】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)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(fā)生了大地震。故選B。
【小題2】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)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(xiàn)在第一段A great many buildings and houses collapsed中,我們知道,發(fā)生地震的時候,會導(dǎo)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(jié)理解題。根據(jù)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(yù)計經(jīng)濟損失可能達到1000億元,故D項表達不對。根據(jù)Energy released from Wenchuan earthquake would be 30 times of that from Ya’an quake可知A項正確;根據(jù)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(jù)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。

Long, long ago people made fires from lightening (閃電). But they had to keep the fire burning, for they couldn’t start it again if there was no lightening. Later, they found out hitting two pieces of stone together could make a spark (火花). The spark could fire dry leaves. In this way they could make the fire again if it went out. Then people also learned to make a fire by rubbing (摩擦). They made a hole on a piece of wood and put a smaller stick into the hole. They turned the stick again and again. After a few minutes they got a fire.
A years went by, people learned other ways to make a fire. Sometimes they used the heat from the sun. They held a piece of glass in the right way and made a piece of paper on fire.
