【解析】

试题分析：本文主要讲述河北省发生的一次地震以及灾后救援情况。

【1】rise and fall意为“升升降降”。根据and前面的rose可知应填fall的过去式。

【2】形容词作定语修饰名词。

【3】too...to...意为“太……以至于不能……”。

【4】根据句意“一百万居民几乎都没有把这些情况当一回事，当天晚上像往常一样睡着了”可知，此处表示转折关系。

【5】It seems as if...意为“看起来好像/似乎……”。

【6】at an end意为“结束；终结”。

【7】in ruins意为“毁坏；严重受损；破败不堪”。

【8】send与soldiers构成动宾关系，且全文时态为过去时，故用一般过去时的被动语态。

【9】dig out与bury the dead是由and连接的并列结构。

【10】whose 引导定语从句并在从句中作定语，修饰名词homes。
