An earthquake measuring 6.7 on the Richter scale has hit northeast India, near its borders with Myanmar and Bangladesh, killing at least nine people. The quake hit at 4:35 am local time about 29 km northwest of Imphal, the capital of Manipur state, according to the US Geological Survey. Strong quakes have been felt across the region. The earthquake was originally reported to have measured 6.8 on the Richter scale. India’s Meteorological Department said it struck at a depth of 17 km.
    The earthquake cracked walls and a newly-built six-storey building in Imphal collapsed, police said. Other buildings were also reported to have been damaged. At least six people have been killed in Manipur and more than 30 injured, the Press Trust of India news agency reported. In the neighbouring Bangladesh, three people were reported dead while dozens were being treated in hospital for injuries sustained during the quake. A 23-year-old man died when he suffered a stroke after the quake while two others died of heart attacks, news agency AFP quoted police as saying. A university student, who jumped from a fourth-floor balcony to escape, was among the severely wounded, the agency added.
5. When did the earthquake happen?
6. What do we know about the earthquake from the news report?
7. Why did the 23-year-old man die?

选项 A、Because he had a heart attack after the earthquake.
B、Because he jumped from a fourth-floor balcony.
C、Because he was badly injured during the quake.
D、Because he suffered a stroke after the earthquake.

答案 D

解析 选项均以Because开头,可判断问的是原因,并且根据heart attack、jumped from a fourth-floor balcony、badly injured、suffered a stroke可以推测某人做了某事产生了不好的后果,听录音时要留意新闻中相关信息。新闻最后提到,一名23岁的男子在地震后因中风而死亡(suffered a stroke after the quake),故D为答案。A“地震后心脏病发作”和B“从四楼阳台跳下来”都不是这个23岁男人的死因,C“他在地震中受了重伤”没有在新闻中提及。
