问题 The number of deaths in Samoa is more than ______ as that in American Samoa.
The Prime Minister of Samoa says 77 people were killed and 150 injured by a tsunami in the South Pacific. At least 24 people died on American Samoa. Thousands of people’s homes have been destroyed and the final number of deaths is expected to be higher as reports from Sydney.
    A brutal act of nature has shattered parts of Samoa and neighboring American Samoa. The rescue effort is continuing with pledges of international support led by the United States. The number of dead has slowly increased since the tsunami struck after dawn and there are fears it will keep on rising as emergency teams reach isolated areas. Foreign tourists including a British toddler and a 6-year-old Australian girl are among the deaths. Officials believe that many of the victims were washed out to sea as their homes were destroyed by waves reportedly up to 11 meters high.

选项 A、five times
B、three times
C、twice
D、nine times

答案B

解析 数字细节题。新闻开头提到,萨摩亚群岛萨总理称南太平洋发生的海啸中,有77人丧生,随后讲到美属萨摩亚的死亡人数至少为24。前者的死亡人数是后者的3倍多,所以B为正确选项。
