An earthquake measuring 6.7 on the Richter scale has hit northeast India, near its borders with Myanmar and Bangladesh, killing at least nine people. The quake hit at 4:35 am local time about 29 km northwest of Imphal, the capital of Manipur state, according to the US Geological Survey. Strong quakes have been felt across the region. The earthquake was originally reported to have measured 6.8 on the Richter scale. India’s Meteorological Department said it struck at a depth of 17 km.
The earthquake cracked walls and a newly-built six-storey building in Imphal collapsed, police said. Other buildings were also reported to have been damaged. At least six people have been killed in Manipur and more than 30 injured, the Press Trust of India news agency reported. In the neighbouring Bangladesh, three people were reported dead while dozens were being treated in hospital for injuries sustained during the quake. A 23-year-old man died when he suffered a stroke after the quake while two others died of heart attacks, news agency AFP quoted police as saying. A university student, who jumped from a fourth-floor balcony to escape, was among the severely wounded, the agency added.
5. When did the earthquake happen?
6. What do we know about the earthquake from the news report?
7. Why did the 23-year-old man die?
选项
A、The US Geological Survey first reported the earthquake.
B、India’s Meteorological Department has predicted the earthquake.
C、A newly-built building collapsed in the earthquake.
D、Three thousand people were reported dead in the earthquake.
答案
C
解析
新闻提到,地震使许多墙倒塌了,并且一幢新建的六层高的建筑倒下了(a newly-built six-storey building...collapsed),C所述与此一致,为答案。 A、B中的机构US Geological Survey和India’s Meteorological Department都有在新闻中出现,但所说的事情“首先报告地震”和“预测了地震”都没有在新闻中提到。新闻中陆续报道各地的伤亡人数,都是零星的数量,远远达不到D所说的3000人。
