【文章大意】本文主要讲述的是日本发生了历史上最大的地震，地震伴随着海啸，至今已有13,000人死亡，14,000人失踪。当消息传到中国时，中国人民对其表示极大的支持，在2008年汶川地震时，日本也帮助了中国。

31.B【解析】根据文章可知，全文使用过去时态，所以用“happened”表示发生。故本题选B。

32.A【解析】根据题意：随之而来的洪水跟很多余震一样造成了日本很多地方的洪水。文中“as well as many strong aftershocks”表明此处填“many”故本题选A。

33.C【解析】根据上下文，到目前为止，13000人死亡，14000失踪。故本题选C。

34.D【解析】本题考查动词的辨析。reached表示到达，get为不及物动词，后面加to也表示到达。故本题选D。

35.A【解析】本题考查名词的辨析。support表示支持，pride表示自豪，pleasure表示乐事、乐趣，prediction表示预言。根据题意：很多中国人对日本及日本人表达了支持。故本题选A。
