　　(3) Nearly 1 000 are known to have died in a powerful earthquake in Nepal, with many more feared trapped under rubble. Tremors (轻微地震) were felt across the region, with further loss of life in India and Bangladesh. The quake triggered an avalanche (雪崩) on Mount Qomolangma, killing at least eight people. The government has declared a state of emergency in the affected areas. A national police spokesman said that 970 people had died in the quake, and that more than 1 700 had been injured.
　　Major historic monuments in the Nepalese capital have been destroyed in the powerful earthquake. (4)These include a nine-storey tower—Dharahara, temples and some parts of what was once a royal palace, all listed as UNESCO World Heritage sites. These sites are Nepal’s major tourist attractions. Nepal had lost several such monuments during a major earthquake in 1934.
　　3. What is the news report mainly about?
　　4. What do we learn about Dharahara from the news report?
选项 A、An avalanche on Mount Qomolangma.
B、A volcanic eruption in Bangladesh.
C、A massive earthquake in Nepal.
D、An earth tremor in India.
答案 C
解析 新闻的主旨大意一般出现在新闻的开头。新闻首句提到，目前已发现近1 000人在尼泊尔大地震中丧生，还有更多惶恐不安的灾民被困在了废墟下面。由此可见，新闻的主要内容是关于发生在尼泊尔的地震。
