问题 Where did the storms first strike? [br]  
About 100 people are now known to have died in what have been described as the worst storms ever to hit the eastern US this century. The hurricane-force winds first struck the Gulf of Mexico, and have now spread across the Canadian border, continuing to bring record snowfalls, severe flooding and causing millions of dollars of damage. All major airports have now reopened and airlines are beginning to cope with the backlog of thousands of stranded passengers. The storm also paralyzed areas of Cuba where several people were killed and property and crops destroyed.
选项 A、death and damage.
B、disruption of air services.
C、destruction of crops.
D、relocation of people.
答案 D
解析 本题宜采用排除法。录音开头提到暴风雨造成约100人死亡，而录音中间部分提到，暴风雨在加拿大造成数百万美元的损坏，由此可排除A；由录音中提到了各大机场已恢复运营，由此可知，暴风雨曾造成航空服务中断，可排除B。录音最后提到了庄稼遭到破坏，因此可排除C。“人口的迁移”在新闻中未提及，故选D。
