问题 According to the speaker, what do people often think about astronomers? [br]  
Most people think of astronomers as people who spend their time in cold observatories peering through telescopes every night. In fact, a typical astronomer spends most of his/ her time analyzing data and may only be at the telescope a few weeks of the year. Some astronomers work on purely theoretical problems and never use a telescope at all. You might not know how rarely images are viewed directly through telescopes. The most common way to observe the skies is to photograph them.
One of the worst typhoons to hit China in several years has killed 63 people and injured more than 1,800 as it battered southeastern Zhejiang Province. Most of the casualties occurred when homes collapsed. Officials had evacuated 400,000 people to escape the typhoon that was forecast to be the worst since 1997 when a storm ripped into China, killing nearly 250 people and causing 19.8 billion yuan in economic losses.
选项 A、The 1997 storm killed more than 250 people.
B、The economic losses caused by the 1997 storm were 90.8 billionyuan.
C、More than 1,800 people were wounded when the typhoon hit Zhejiang Province.
D、The government evacuated 40,000 people to avoid more casualties.
答案 C
解析 根据原文“Officials has evacuated 400,000 people to escape the typhoon that was forecast to be the worst...”可知政府在作出台风预报后就疏散了人们，而不是如选项d所言疏散是为了避免更大的灾害，暗示疏散是台风发作之后才进行的，根据原文关于1997年台风的描述“...killing nearly 250 people and causing l9.8 billion yuan in economic losses.”可知选项a中数字前more than与原文nearly不符，而19.8与选项b中90.8不符；根据原文“injured more than 1,800 as it battered southeastern Zhejiang Province”，选项C内容与之相符，因此该项是正确答案。
