本题主要考查对新闻内容的理解和关键信息的提取。解题思路是仔细聆听或阅读新闻内容，明确新闻所描述的事件以及相关细节，然后根据题目要求对选项进行逐一分析判断。

第3题

新闻中明确提到“the state of Queensland in northeast Australia is struggling through the effects of a powerful hurricane”以及“This time, the disaster is Cyclone Yasi. Yasi could be one of the worst hurricanes Australia has ever seen”，这表明澳大利亚人正在遭受一场强烈飓风的影响。

• A选项“A violent hurricane”与新闻内容相符。
• B选项“Long - lasting hot weather”新闻中未提及。
• C选项“A destructive earthquake”新闻中没有相关描述。
• D选项“Severe flooding”虽然新闻提到该地区最近遭受过严重洪水，但此次描述的是飓风灾害，并非洪水。所以第3题选A。

第4题

新闻中提到“People in Queensland were warned about Yasi a few days ago so they had some time to get ready”，这说明昆士兰的人们在飓风来临前得到了预警，有时间做准备。

• A选项“Heavy rains haven't stroke Queensland for a long time”新闻未提及降雨情况。
• B选项“People in Queensland have done some preparation for it”与新闻内容一致。
• C选项“There was no reports about people's missing or injury”新闻中没有关于人员失踪或受伤的报道相关内容。
• D选项“The bad weather may be tough for couples”新闻只是说可能会有艰难的几天，并非特指对情侣来说艰难。所以第4题选B。
