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, ). At least 11,826 were reportedly injured in the quake while 25 are still missing.
Experts are anticipating(预期的)much less casualties(人员伤亡)in the quake than that from the 8.0 magnitude quake hit Wenchuan on May 12, 2008, also in Sichuan Province, which killed more than 80,000 and injured over 300,000.
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.
Rescue(营救)efforts were carried “timely and orderly”, said Chinese Premier Li Keqiang who flew to the quicken-stricken area on Sunday, the second day of the quake. He was quoted as saying that “the current priority is to save lives”.

解析

小题1:细节理解题。根据文章的第一句话On April 20th,2013, a big and powerful earthquake attacked Ya’an可知,在2013年4月20号,雅安发生了大地震。故选B。
小题2:细节理解题。根据文章第二段最后一句话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人在地震中受伤。故选B。
小题3:词义猜测题。该词出现在第一段A great many buildings and houses collapsed中,我们知道,发生地震的时候,会导致房屋倒塌,故collapsed 的意思就是倒塌。A 选项fell down suddenly 即突然倒下来与它的意思最为接近。B选项意为重建;C选项意为烧成平地;D选项意为成碎片。故选A。
小题4:细节理解题。根据文章第四段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预计经济损失可能达到1000亿元,故D项表达不对。根据Energy released from Wenchuan earthquake would be 30 times of that from Ya’an quake可知A项正确;根据Chinese Premier Li Keqiang who flew to the quicken-stricken area on Sunday, the second day of the quake.可知B正确;根据the 8.0 magnitude quake hit Wenchuan on May 12, 2008, also in Sichuan Province, which killed more than 80,000可知C正确。故选D。

Traveling by train is usually not easy in China. It can be hard to get a ticket. When you’re traveling to the railway station, you look at your watch, for you are afraid you will miss your train.
But there is good news for people traveling between Beijing and Shanghai. Construction (建设) on the express railway (高速铁路) between the two cities started just before the Spring Festival of 2008. When it is finished by 2013, taking a train will be as easy as taking a bus.
“There will be trains every several minutes. Buying a ticket, getting through the checkpoint (检查站) and taking your seat, will take just 10 minutes,” said an engineer.
There may be high-speed trains running at 350 kilometers an hour. The travel time between the two cities will decrease from 10 to about 5 hours. The trains will carry twice the present number of passengers.
The new line will be 1,318 kilometers long and go across specially built bridges. It will run along side the present line. There will be 21 stations in Hebei, Tianjin, Shandong, Anhui and Jiangsu.
“The cost of traveling by the express railway may be around 800 yuan. That will be more expensive than an ordinary train, but cheaper than by air.” Said Zhang Xiaoling, a Jiangsu government official.
According to Zhang, the higher price is caused by the large cost of the railway project. At about 200 billion yuan, the project may be even more expensive than the Three Gorges Project (三峡工程).

SHANGHAI---- Almost one in four students aged between 12 and 14 have tried smoking, according to the results of a survey from the CATC(中国抗癌协会).
