28、d 考查动词的语态、时态和主谓一致。句意为:数百万的砖房和许多水坝遭到破坏。砖房和水坝是被破坏的,结合上下文语境,要用一般过去时的被动语态。主语为数百万的砖房和许多水坝,故填were destroyed。4giving 考查非谓语动词。此处考查with的复合结构,其构成为:with宾语宾语补足语,reporters和give之间是主谓关系,因此用give的现在分词形式。5suffering 考查名词。被作定语的形容词extreme修饰,用名词形式。句意为:全国都被地震带来的破坏和灾民们极度的苦难所震惊。suffering为suffer的名词形式,意为“痛苦,苦难”。6when 考查连词。句意为
