分析 本文作者主要介绍了二十世纪发生在中国河北省唐山市的那次最大的地震;其中包括震前的征兆;地震发生的具体时间;地震造成的破坏程度以及伤亡人数;地震的救援情况等.
解答 答案:
76.earthquake 考查句意理解以及名词 此处用在"for+定冠词the"之后作定语,应填名词;根据下文讲到了唐山地震,并结合首字母e可知,这里指的应是:地震的迹象;故用名词earthquake.
77.greatest 考查句意理解以及形容词的最高级 此处用在定冠词the之后,修饰名词earthquake;指的是:最大的地震,故用greatest.
78.ruins 考查固定短语 lie in ruins意为:成为废墟;故用ruins.
79.injured 考查被动语态 此处在定语从句中与 were killed 一起作谓语,由于动词injure与作主语的关系代词who构成动宾关系,所以这里应使用被动语态(be+过去分词); 由于此处用在连词or之后,应省略助动词be;故用injured.
80.destroyed 考查被动语态 此处为该句的谓语部分,结合汉语提示可知,此处应填动词destroy的某种形式;由于destroy与主语Nearly everything构成动宾关系,所以这里应使用被动语态(be+过去分词);故用destroyed.
81.electricity 考查名词 此处与名词Water,food一起在句中作主语,结合汉语提示可知,此处应填不可数名词electricity.
82.rescue 考查固定词组 rescue workers 意为:救援人员;故用rescue
83.trapped 考查被动语态 此处为该句的谓语部分,由于动词trap与主语 some of them and doctors 是动宾关系,故这里应使用被动语态(be+过去分词);故用trapped.
84.breathe 考查动词的形式 此处用在动词不定式符号to之后,应使用动词原形;故用breathe.
85.survivors考查名词 此处在句中作宾语,指的是在地震中幸存下来的人;故用复数名词survivors.
