試題分析：本文報道了尼泊爾發(fā)生了8.1級地震，以及地震后的余震和所造成的損失。尼泊爾國家電視臺報道，90%的歷史建筑在加德滿都山谷在地震中被毀。救援和搜尋工作正在進行，但是大雨和余震影響救援。

【1】C 推理判斷題。根據(jù)Nepal is suffering from the disaster brought by a magnitude 8.1 earthquake that struck on Saturday.可知此處報道尼泊爾發(fā)生了8.1級地震。故選C。

【2】D 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Nepal national television is reporting that 90 percent of historical structures in Kathmandu Valley were destroyed in the earthquake. 可知尼泊爾國家電視臺報道，90%的歷史建筑在加德滿都山谷在地震中被毀，不是整個尼泊爾的90%的歷史建筑被毀，故選D。

【3】C 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)The initial(最初的) magnitude-eight-point-one quake struck 80 kilometers east of Pokhara on Saturday afternoon. It was followed by a huge aftershock, measuring seven-point-zero. As for Sunday, two big aftershocks have been recorded in the morning, with the latest in the afternoon with a magnitude of 7.1.可知在周六下午發(fā)生了8.1級地震，緊隨其后的是一個巨大7.0級的余震，在周日早上，有兩大余震，在周日下午發(fā)生了7.1級的余震。所以文中共提到4次地震。故選C。
