A powerful earthquake struck an area near the northern coast of Chile on Wednesday. The earthquake came a day after an even stronger quake hit the area. The earlier quake was【C1】______at least six deaths. The United States Geological Survey says a 7.8 magnitude aftershock hit northern Chile late Wednesday night, local time. Magnitude is a【C2】______of the energy released at the centre, or source, of an earthquake. U.S. officials said the aftershock was centred about 23【C3】______south of the port of Iquique. They said it struck at a depth of 20 kilometres below sea level. The aftershock led Chilean officials to order thousands of people away from【C4】______.

The aftershock struck a day after an even more powerful earthquake hit northern Chile. That quake was centred in an area about 100 kilometres northwest of Iquique. The city is home to nearly 200,000 people. The quake was felt in Bolivia and Peru. It also【C7】______tsunami warnings as far as Japan. The warnings were cancelled hours later.
Chilean police and soldiers guarded coastal【C8】______to prevent attacks on homes and businesses. Television video showed damaged buildings in Iquique. But officials found surprisingly light damage from the quake. President Michelle Bachelet visited the affected area. She spoke to the nation about the disaster. She said【C9】______measures have been taken to protect lives and property.

【C3】
选项
答案
D

kilometres的意思是“千米”,根据上下文可知此处讲的是余震的位置,因此应该用表示长度的kilometres,而不是kilograms(千克),因为后者是表示重量的。因此,正确答案是D。
