分析 本文主要讲述了风暴袭击了火奴鲁鲁（美国夏威夷州首府）以及当地人们应对风暴的措施的事件．
解答 71．destroying 考查现在分词．it与destroy之间是主谓关系，用现在分词作状语．
72．so 考查固定搭配．so…that…意为"如此/这么…以致于…"，句型中的so是副词，常常用来修饰形容词或副词，常用句型为：主语+谓语+so+adj．/adv．+that从句．
73．torn 考查动词时态．and是并列连词，它前后连接两个相同的语法成分，broken和torn都是过去完成时态．
74．injuries 考查名词复数．injury是可数名词，根据主语 a number of other people表示复数概念，要用复数形式．
75．as 考查介词．as a result of意为"作为…的结果； 由于"，是固定搭配．
76．an 考查冠词．hour是可数名词，单数形式前加不定冠词a表示泛指，因其读音以发元音开头，用不定冠词an．
77．when 考查连词．根据句意：这时我听到一阵大的噪音．用连词when．
78．shaking 考查动词时态．根据句意：她注意到她的房子正在摇晃．用过去进行时态．
79．immediately 考查副词．rush是动词，要用副词修饰．
80．flooded 考查过去分词．此处过去分词flooded表示完成，意为"水淹的"．
