A powerful earthquake hit Morocco,killing thousands of people and causing huge damage over a large area.
The earthquake struck around 11 pm on Friday night.It was not only one of the most powerful earthquakes ever recorded in Morocco,but also the country’s deadliest earthquake in over 60 years.So far,the earthquake is reported to have killed over 2,900 people.The earthquake was especially precarious as it happened at night,when most people were asleep at home.
The center of the earthquake was in the Atlas Mountains,about 72 kilometers southwest of Marrakesh,a large city popular with tourists in the center of Morocco.Fortunately,many of its modern buildings survived the earthquake.However,the old part of the city,called the Medina,whose buildings are over 1,000 years old,was hit hard,leaving many of those buildings in ruins.
Outside of Marrakesh,the earthquake caused even more damage.In the Atlas Mountains, the earthquake’s center,there were many small villages.Many people in the area lived in simple houses made of mud,a traditional way of building in Morocco.But they’re not strong enough to survive earthquakes and many of these houses simply fell apart,turning into sand.The Moroccan government has laws requiring buildings to be built more safely,yet these rules were often overlooked.
In larger cities,rescue efforts seemed to be going well.But it took a lot longer for help to reach remote(偏远的) areas in the mountains.That meant the local people in those areas had to deal with the situation on their own.They had to dig through the ruins with their hands, searching for survivors who were trapped.Moreover,many people were sleeping outside, unsure if their houses were safe enough.
More help was on the way.Many outside countries offered teams of experts and emergency supplies.But the government said too many different rescue teams could make the situation more confusing.
1.Why did the earthquake lead to the most deaths on record in Morocco?
A.It struck a large tourist city.
B.The rescue team arrived too late.
C.It was powerful and happened at night.
D.The traditional houses were not strong enough.
2.What does the underlined word“precarious”in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Dangerous. B.Powerful.
C.Unique. D.Impressive.
3.What was the main difficulty facing the people in the remote mountains?
A.They had no shelter to stay.
B.They ran out of food supplies.
C.They lost contact with the outside world.
D.They couldn’t get necessary rescue in time.
4.Where is the text most probably taken from?
