19.The largest earthquake(magnitude里氏9.5)of the 20th century happened on May 22,1960off the coast of South Central Chile.
It generated(生成)one of the most destructive Pacific-wide tsunamis(海啸).Near the generating area,both the earthquake and the tsunamis were very much destructive,particularly in the coastal area from Concepcion to the south end of Isia Chiloe.The largest tsunamis damage occurred at Isia Chiloe-the coastal area closest to the epicenter(震中).Huge tsunamis waves measuring as high as 25meters arrived within 10to15minute after the earthquake,killing at least two hundred people,sinking all the boats,and flooding half a kilometer inland.
There was large damage and loss of life at Concepcion,Chile's top industrial cry.Near the city of Valdivia,the earthquake and following aftershocks generated landslides which killed 18people.At the port city of Valparaiso,a city of 200,000,many buildings collapsed.A total of 130,000houses were destroyed-one in every three in the earthquake zone and nearly 2,000,000people were left homeless.
Total damage losses,including to agriculture and to industry,were estimated(估计)to be over a half billion dorms.The total number of death related with both the tsunamis and the earthquake was never found accurately for the region estimates of deaths reached between 490to 5,7002with no distinction(差别)as to how many deaths were caused by the earthquake and how many were caused by the tsunami.However.it is believed that most of the deaths in Chile were caused by the tsunamis.

解答 61-65 BCBDA
161 B 细节理解题,从文章第二段第三行"the largest tsunami damage occurred at Isla Chiloe---the coastal area closest to the epicenter(震中)."海啸的最大危害发生在Islam Chiloe--离震中最近的沿海地区,可以看出答案选B.
262 C 细节题,考察文章第二段的最后几句.A选项不是arrived immediately而是10-15分钟以后到来.B选项为至少200人,D选项不是half of the inland而是half a kilometer,故以上3个选项均有误.
363 B 细节理解题,最后一段的最后一句"However,it is believed that most of the deaths in Chile were caused by the tsunami."然而,人们相信大部分的死亡是有海啸引起的,所以B选项符合题意,所以答案选B.
464 D 细节题.,2,000,000为无家可归人的数目;200,000为the city of Valparaiso的人口数.490 to 5,7002为地震和海啸共同导致的死亡数.
565 A 细节理解题,由本段的下一句A total of 130,000 houses were destroyed,总共130,000房子被破坏了,可以推测出many buildings collapsed很多的建筑被毁了,所以答案选A.
点评 做阅读理解时要快速的浏览全文,把握文章主旨大意,带着问题回到原文,寻找细节或概括相应的答案,最后要理清作者写作思路.
