Answer 1

分析 这是一封写给朋友表示关怀和慰问的信．朋友的家乡发生了强震及引发的大规模海啸，带来巨大的灾难．数万人无家可归，作者表达了对好友及灾区人民的关注和安慰；鼓励他们渡过难关、重建家园．

解答 61．struck．考查谓语动词的时态．地震发生在过去，所以谓语动词用过去式struck．
62．extremely．考查副词的用法．修饰表语upset用副词extremely，表示"极度的不安"．
63．homeless．考查派生词．本句表示"许多人无家可归"，所以用homeless．
64．Facing．考查非谓语动词．做时间状语，和主语the people 之间是主动关系，应该用现在分词Facing．
65．natural．考查派生词．修饰名词disaster用形容词natural，表示"自然灾难"．
66．so．考查固定句式．修饰形容词 calm and strong-willed 和that构成固定句式，表示"如此…以至于"．
67．concerned．考查固定短语．表示"对…感到担心"用be concerned about．
68．As．考查非限制性定语从句．引导非限制性定语从句，表示"正如俗语所说"用As．
69．with．考查介词．表示"用决心和来自全世界的支持"用介词with．
70．will be rebuilt．考查谓语动词的时态．主语a better hometown和谓语动词rebuild之间是被动关系，时间状语是 soon，俗语谓语动词用将来时态的被动will be rebuilt．
