Question

Last Friday a storm swept through two villages in the New Territories, destroying fourteen homes. Seven others were so badly damaged (破壞) that their owners had to leave them, and fifteen others had broken windows or broken roofs. One person was killed, several were badly hurt and taken to hospital, and a number of other people received smaller hurt. Altogether (總共) over two hundred people were homeless after the storm.
A farmer, Mr. Tan, said that the storm began early in the morning and lasted for over an hour.
“I was eating with my wife and children,” he said, “when we heard a loud noise. A few minutes later our house fell down on top of us. We tried our best to climb out but then I saw that one of my children was missing. I went back inside and found him safe but very frightened.”
Mrs. Woo Mei Fong said that her husband had just left for work when she felt that her house was moving. She ran outside at once with her children.
“There was no time to take anything,” she said, “A few minutes later, the roof came down.”
Soldiers helped to take people out of the flooded (水淹的) area and the welfare department (福利機(jī)構(gòu)) brought them food, clothes and shelter.

解析試題分析：這篇短文主要介紹了一場(chǎng)嚴(yán)重的暴風(fēng)雨造成的危害。描寫了人們?cè)谠獾奖╋L(fēng)雨襲擊時(shí)的感受及災(zāi)后的救助。
【小題1】歸納理解題。從第一段可知：“fourteen”+“Seven”+“fifteen”＝36，故選D
【小題2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段的敘述，可知當(dāng)時(shí)他在房子里。故選B。
【小題3】推理判斷題。從第四段中when she felt that her house was moving. She ran outside at once with her children.可知他們感到房子晃動(dòng)，就跑了出去，故選C.
【小題4】詞義猜測(cè)題。從并列的這幾項(xiàng)“brought them food, clothes and shelter”可猜測(cè)出shelter的意思可排除A、B。根據(jù)常識(shí)，受災(zāi)的人們無(wú)家可歸，除了食物、衣服之外，最需要的是什么？是學(xué)習(xí)的地方，還是住的地方？當(dāng)然是后者。故選D。
【小題5】歸納理解題。短文講到了幾個(gè)人，但是關(guān)鍵還是圍繞這場(chǎng)暴風(fēng)雨，因此選A。
考點(diǎn)：故事類短文閱讀。
