【解析】

这是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了唐山大地震前，发生的一些奇怪的现象。

1.考查冠词。句意：河北省东北部的农村发生了一些奇怪的事情。文中表示特指，所以填定冠词the。

2.考查介词。句意：农民们注意到井壁里有很深的裂缝。表示“……里”，所以填in。

3.考查固定句型。句意：在农家院里，鸡甚至猪都紧张得吃不下饭。too…to太……以至于不能，该句型是固定句型，所以填to eat。

4.考查现在分词。句意：老鼠跑出田野，寻找藏身之处。look预期逻辑主语Mice之间是主动关系，用现在分词作伴随状语，所以填looking。

5.考查连词。句意：即使天空中没有飞机，在唐山城外也能听到飞机的声音。文中表示“当……时”或“即使”，所以填when\if\though。

6.考查定语从句。___6___thought little of these events是一个非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词the one million people of the city,关系词在从句中作主语，指人，that不能引导非限制性定语从句，所以填who。

7.考查最高级。句意：就在城市正下方11公里处，20世纪最严重的地震之一开始了。表示“最严重的地震”，用最高级，所以填greatest。

8.考查时态。句意：全国三分之一的人感觉到了地震。描述发生在过去的事情，用一般过去时，所以填felt。

9.考查动名词。句意：人民的苦难是极端的。该空作句子主语，用动名词，所以填suffering。

10.考查形容词。句意：其中三分之二的人在地震中死亡或受伤。be动词后，用形容词作表语，所以填injured。
