For three days, there have been no entertainment events and the government has suspended the Olympic torch relay. Chinese officials have said that the death toll from the catastrophe has now risen to over 41,000. Over 230,000 people were injured. Along with the many accounts of suffering and loss, there have been a few amazing stories of survival. Chinese news reported today that a woman in Hongbai has been rescued after being trapped in a tunnel for nine days. She has been taken to hospital and is expected to survive. However, hopes are quickly fading for those who remain trapped. According to the State Council over 32,000 people are missing in the quake area. The rescue workers’ attention is now turning towards the recovery of bodies from the rubble and providing food, shelter and drinking water for the survivors. But the relief operation has been hampered by a series of aftershocks, the strongest measuring 6.1 on the Richter scale. Chinese news reports say that mudslides have buried 200 relief workers in the past four days. There are also reports that thousands of residents have been evacuated from an area in Qingchuan county where large cracks have appeared in the top of a mountain. On Monday, tens of thousands of people rushed from their homes after the government warned of a possible major aftershock. They slept on the streets or drove to open ground. Persistent rain is compounding the misery for the homeless. The foreign ministry has appealed to the international community to provide tents for the five million people who have lost their homes. Yesterday, Premier Wen Jiabao pledged to send 250,000 temporary housing units to the region by the end of June, and one million within three months. 题目:1.How many days does the official period of mourning last? 文本: A) Two days.

Helicopters are constantly flying overhead delivering aid when they land and evacuating patients when they leave. The major roads into Muzaffarabad are still blocked by mudslides and the only land access remains a narrow one lane road that snakes through the rugged mountains surrounding the devastated city. The road was jammed all day with military convoys carrying excavation equipment and fresh medical supplies. But inside the city survivors say they have yet to see the relief supplies and time is running out. Hundreds of people are trapped beneath collapsed buildings and families are frantically digging through the rubble to free them. When asked what the city needed most, one local volunteer said everything, more doctors, more medicine, more food, more shelter, more everything. Officials say at least 70 percent of the city has been destroyed and more than 17,000 people may have died. The main Pakistan-based Kashmiri separatist alliance has announced a temporary suspension of all violence in earthquake devastated areas of Indian Kashmir. The Jihad Council told news agencies it has directed its members to disband all rebel activities until further notice. Pakistan has observed a minute of silence for more than 73,000 people killed by a powerful earthquake one year ago today. Sirens wailed across Pakistan at 8:52 a.m. local time, the exact minute the 7.6 magnitude quake hit Pakistani-controlled Kashmir and the northwest frontier province. Jack Norman is with Catholic Relief Services and says the area has not completely recovered. “Although there are still devastated, people are still in fear, in, in some cases are traumatized, but there are certainly, for a lot of people who’ve been in a great salient effort to bring back to normalcy.” The earthquake toppled hundreds of buildings in Muzaffarabad and triggered massive landslides that swept away entire villages. International relief workers say they are getting food and medicine into central Java but are still facing obstacles reaching the victims of Saturday’s earthquake in Indonesia. The UN World Food Program has flown in more than 165 metric tons of food to earthquake-stricken areas here, but reaching the victims is still problematic. WFP spokesperson Barry Came says there are few trucks to deliver supplies over damaged roads to village emergency centers and few food storage facilities in the more remote areas. “So essentially the food disappears we really don’t know what happened, we can’t monitor it.” Came says he expects these problems to be overcome by Thursday. Some 22 countries have responded with money and personnel to help. More than 5,800 have died from Saturday’s 6.3-magnitude quake on Java Island. Some 200,000 people are homeless. The Indonesian government has declared a 3-month emergency and earmarked 107 million dollars for recovery. 题目:1.Sirens wailed across Pakistan at 8:52 p.m. local time. 文本: 你的答案: 正确答案: F 得分: 0 老师意见: 题目:2.The 7.6 magnitude quake hit Kashmir-controled Pakistani and the northwest frontier province. 文本: 你的答案: 正确答案: F 得分: 0 老师意见: 题目:3.Catholic Relief Services says the area has not completely recovered. 文本: 你的答案: 正确答案: F 得分: 0 老师意见: 题目:4.A lot of people have been in a great salient effort to bring back. 文本: 你的答案: 正确答案: T 得分: 0 老师意见: 题目:5.The earthquake toppled hundreds of buildings in Muzaffarabad. 文本: 你的答案: 正确答案: T 得分: 0 老师意见: 2.Exercise 2: Listening for General Understanding: Listen to the passage and answer the following questions. 老师意见: Earthquakes in Pakistan and India Aid agencies say as many as 4 million people could be left homeless by the earthquake that has wrecked parts of Pakistan and India, killing more than 20,000 people.

It was the biggest earthquake in 25 years in the UK. There have been very small tremors in the past but they pale into insignificance compared to this one. It was felt in a large area across the country too, from as far north as Edinburgh in Scotland to as far south as Plymouth on the south coast of England. The epicentre of the earthquake was in a small town in Lincolnshire, which is an area about two and a half to three hours north of London by car. A magnitude of 5.2 was registered on the Richter scale. There were lots of reports in the news from people who felt the earth move. One man said, "We had loads of vibrating and wall shaking and stuff, noise coming off the roof. I came outside-the chimney's on the floor!"A collapsed chimney was the cause of what was probably the worst injury from the earthquake; a man broke his pelvis when the chimney fell on him. Another man who spoke to the BBC described the moment the earthquake occured, "Everything was shaking. As soon as it happened we all went outside and saw everyone else down the street, coming out and just realised it was an earthquake." The huge rumble, that was felt by a lot of people, surprisingly caused very little structural damage to property. Most British people would be surprised to learn that there are 200-300 earthquakes in Britain every year, but most of them are so small, they go unnoticed. The magnitude of this earthquake is fairly small in comparison to some other natural disasters that have made international news, but for the people affected, it certainly came as quite a surprise. 题目:1.How far is the epicenter of the earthquake from London? 文本: 你的答案: 正确答案: The epicenter of the earthquake is about two and a half to three hours north of London by car. 得分: 0 老师意见: 题目:2.How many earthquakes happened in Britain every year? 文本: 你的答案: 正确答案: There were about 200-300 earthquakes in Britain every year. 得分: 0 老师意见: 2.Passage two exercise:Summary: Direction: Listen to Passage Two and summarize it. 老师意见: "The Great Storm" in Britain On 16th October 1987, southern Britain was hit by hurricane force winds, the worst storm to occur in Britain since 1703. Twenty years on, Britain is remembering the devastation caused by what came to be known as "The Great Storm"15 million trees across the region were uprooted due to the wind, as well as the fact that a wet autumn in general had made the ground very muddy. The falling trees caused destruction to buildings and vehicles and blocked roads and railway lines, causing everyone from commuters to school-children to stay at home. There were also black-outs across the area, as power lines were damaged by falling trees and flying debris. People resorted to candles and torches for light, and gas stoves and open fires to cook food. The storm raged for 4 hours before dawn, and claimed 18 lives. The effects of the bad weather were heightened by the fact that most people were completely unprepared, because the weather forecasters were caught out. Earlier that week, weather forecasts had predicted severe weather. But forecasters thought it would miss Britain, and only affect the English Channel. A weatherman, Michael Fish is infamous for saying the storm wouldn't happen, though in fact he was talking about a hurricane in Florida at the time. The freak storm caused damage of more than ?1billion pounds (15 billion RMB), and hundreds of people sustained injuries. But could the same thing happen today in Britain? Well, as a result of climate change many people think that sudden and severe weather changes are more likely. However, meteorological technology has improved, and now uses satellites to get a much more accurate picture of future weather. So if another Great Storm comes along, the British public should be better warned and prepared! 题目:1.Listen to Passage Two and summarize it. 文本: 你的答案: 正确答案: On 16th October 1987, southern Britain was hit by hurricane force winds, the worst storm to occur in Britain since 1703. 得分: 0 老师意见:
