Last Friday a storm swept through two villages in the New Territories,   destroying (摧毁) fourteen homes. Seven others were so badly damaged (破坏)  that their owners had to leave them, and fifteen others had broken windows or broken roofs. One person was killed, several were badly hurt and taken to hospital, and a number of other people received smaller hurt. Altogether over two hundred people were homeless after the storm.
A farmer, Mr. Tan, said that the storm began early in the morning and lasted for over an hour.
“I was eating with my wife and children,” he said, “When we heard a loud noise. A few minutes later our house fell down on top of us. We tried our best to climb out but then I saw that one of my children was missing. I went back inside and found him, safe but very frightened.”
Mrs. Woo Mei Fong said that her husband had just left for work when she felt that her house was moving. She ran outside at once with her children.

解析

试题分析：这篇文章讲述了一场暴风雨给村庄带来了很大的危害，很多房屋被毁，造成了人员伤亡，有些人也侥幸逃脱，福利结构给灾民带来了帮助。
小题1:判断推理题。根据文中描述destroying (摧毁) fourteen homes. Seven others were so badly damaged (破坏)  that their owners had to leave them, and fifteen others had broken windows or broken roofs.14间房屋摧毁，7间严重破坏，15间的窗户或房顶破损；所以一共36间房屋被毁，故选D。
小题2:细节理解题。根据文中第三段秒搜“I was eating with my wife and children,” he said,他说“我正和妻子和小孩在吃饭，”故选B，他在家里。
小题3:细节理解题。根据文中描述Mrs. Woo Mei Fong said that her husband had just left for work when she felt that her house was moving. She ran outside at once with her children. Woo Mei Fong太太说他丈夫刚去上班她就感到了房子摇晃，她和孩子赶紧跑到外面。所以选C，他们没受伤是因为感受到了房子的摇晃。
小题4:词意猜测题。根据这句话welfare department (福利机构) brought them food, clothes and shelter.福利机构给他们提供了食物，衣服和避难所。Shelter，避难所，故选D，可以住的地方。
小题5:标题归纳题。这篇文章主要讲述了一场暴风雨给村庄带来了灾难，故选A，可怕的暴风雨。
