Thousands will gather in the city center just after 5:00 am on Tuesday, April 18, to remember victims of the Great Earthquake. Organizers say they will also celebrate the heroism of the survivors. One hundred years ago, the first small shock struck at 5:12 in the morning, and the region shook violently for one minute. A center of culture and commerce, San Francisco was then known as the Paris of the West. Just hours earlier, Italian tenor Enrico Caruso had appeared in the opera Carmen at the city’s opera house. The singer later recalled trembling with fear as he looked out of the window of his room at the Palace Hotel. He saw buildings collapse, and heard the screams of men, women and children. Historian Eileen Keremitsis is a volunteer guide who describes the tragic story for visitors. The quake was massive and it was centered just off the coast close to the city. The shaking damaged or destroyed thousands of buildings over a wide area, but Keremitsis says most of the severe destruction was caused by fires that burned uncontrolled for three days.
5. What does the news item mainly report?
6. What can we learn about the Great Earthquake?
7. According to Keremitsis, what caused the most of the destruction?
选项
A、The Paris of the West.
B、The heroism of the survivors.
C、100th anniversary of the Great Earthquake.
D、The immense destruction.
答案
C
解析
新闻首句提到,4月18日(星期二),数千人将于早上5点后聚集在市中心来悼念大地震的遇难者。接着新闻通过不同人的经历回顾了100年前的旧金山大地震。故C项“大地震100周年纪念”正确。新闻提到旧金山以“西方的巴黎”著称,A项只是指出旧金山的别称,故排除。新闻中讲述了幸存者在地震时的见闻以及震后的灾难.但这只是给听众再现了当时的情境,新闻并不是为了歌颂幸存者的英雄气概或报道震后的损失,故排除B、D项。
