29、est。3考查非限制性定语从句。“_3_ is more than two hundred kilometres away”是一个非限制性定语从句，先行词是Beijing，关系词在从句中作主语，指物，that不能引导非限制性定语从句。所以填which。4考查时态。句意：全国三分之一的人都能感觉到它。描述发生在过去的事情，用一般过去时。所以填felt。5考查固定短语。句意：在可怕的十五秒钟内，一座大城市变成了废墟。in ruins成为“废墟”，该短语是固定短语。所以填in。6考查主谓一致。句意：人民的苦难是巨大的。抽象名词作主语，谓语动词用单数，所以填was。7考查宾格代词。句意：其中三分之二的人在地震中死亡或受伤。of后面如果只有人称代词，就用宾格。所以填them。8考查名词复数。句意：许多孩子失去了父母。many修饰可数名词复数形式。所以填children。9考查固定句型。句意：水、食物和电都很难获得。beadj.to do，不定式主动结构表示被动含义。所以填to get。10考查宾语从句。句意：人们开始在想这场灾难会持续多久。“_10_ long the disaster would last”是一个宾语从句，表示“多久”。所以填how。
