Answer 1

分析 本文講述了2010年智利發(fā)生的8.8級的大地震帶來的強烈的危害，300多人在地震中喪生，家園，建筑和橋梁等都在地震中倒塌或者著火，機場也因地震而關(guān)閉．

解答 72．killed；考查過去分詞，因為人是被地震殺害的，所以用過去分詞表示被動．
73．causing；考查分詞做狀語，名詞a magnitude 8.8 earthquake和動詞cause是主謂關(guān)系，所以用現(xiàn)在分詞做狀語．
74．which/that；考查定語從句，分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知這是一個定語從句，先行詞為the quake，所以用which或that作定語從句的主語．
75．were overturned；考查被動語態(tài)，動詞overturned的主語是cars，因為車自己不會翻，所以用被動語態(tài)were overturned．
76．scared；考查固定短語，be scared of sth是固定搭配，意思為"害怕"．
77．to；考查介詞，to意思"達(dá)到"，表示潮汐波達(dá)到兩米．
78．to；考查介詞，此處to是介詞，表示方向，意為"逃到較高的地方"．
79．one；考查代詞，此處用one與后面的of構(gòu)成短語one of…，表示"其中的一個"，這里指"這次自然災(zāi)害是最劇烈災(zāi)害之一"．
80．the；考查定冠詞，因為后面有that引導(dǎo)的定語從句對先行詞加以限定，故此處用定冠詞the表示特指．
81．destructive；考查形容詞，因為前面有l(wèi)ess，所以后面用形容詞，構(gòu)成比較級形式．

點評 做語法填空題時，首先通讀全文，知道文章的意思，然后根據(jù)上下文聯(lián)系，寫出正確的單詞，注意時態(tài)、人稱、單復(fù)數(shù)形式等，然后再通讀全文，核對答案．
