ReadingA NIGHT THE EARTH DIDN'T SLEEP
Strange things were happening in the countryside of northeast Hebei. For three days the water in the village wells rose and fell, rose and fell. Farmers noticed that the well walls had deep cracks in them. A smelly gas came out of the cracks. In the farmyards, the chickens and even the pigs were too nervous to eat. Mice ran out of the fields looking for places to hide. Fish jumped out of their bowls and ponds. At about 3:00 am on July 28, 1976, some people saw bright lights in the sky. The sound of planes could be heard outside the city of Tangshan even when no planes were in the sky. In the city, the water pipes in some buildings cracked and burst. But the one million people of the city, who thought little of these events, were asleep as usual that night.
At 3:42 am everything began to shake. It seemed as if the world was at an end! Eleven kilometres directly below the city the greatest earthquake of the 20th century had begun. It was felt in Beijing, which is more than two hundred kilometres away. One-third of the nation felt it. A huge crack that was eight kilometres long and thirty metres wide cut across houses, roads and canals. Steam burst from holes in the ground. Hard hills of rock became rivers of dirt. In fifteen terrible seconds a large city lay in ruins. The suffering of the people was extreme. Two-thirds of them died or were left without parents. The number of people who were killed or injured reached more than 400,000. But how could the survivors believe it was natural? Everywhere they looked nearly everything was destroyed. All of the city’s hospitals, 75% of its factories and buildings and 90% of its homes were gone. Bricks covered the ground like red autumn leaves. No wind, however, could blow them away. Two dams fell and most of the bridges also fell or were not safe for traveling. The railway tracks were now useless pieces of steel. Tens of thousands of cows would never give milk again. Half a million pigs and millions of chickens were dead. Sand now filled the wells instead of water. People were shocked. Then, later that afternoon, another big quake which was almost as strong as the first one shook Tangshan. Some of the rescue workers and doctors were trapped under the ruins. More buildings fell down. Water, food, and electricity were hard to get. People began to wonder how long the disaster would last.
All hope was not lost. Soon after the quakes, the army sent 150,000 soldiers to Tangshan to help the rescue workers. Hundreds of thousands of people were helped. The army organized teams to dig out those who were trapped and to bury the dead. To the north of the city, most of the 10,000 miners were rescued from the coal mines there. Workers built shelters for survivors whose homes had been destroyed. Fresh water was taken to the city by train, truck and plane. Slowly, the city began to breathe again. 地球的一个不眠之夜
河北省东北部的农村不断有些怪事发生：三天来，村子里的井水升升降降，起起伏伏。农夫注意到，水井的井壁上有深深的裂缝，裂缝里冒出臭气。农家大院里的鸡, 甚至猪都紧张得不想吃食。老鼠从田地里跑出来找地方藏身。鱼缸和池塘里的鱼会往外跳。在1976年7月28日凌晨3点左右，有些人看到天上一道道明亮的光。即使天空没有飞机，在唐山城外也可以听到飞机声。在市内，有些建筑物里的水管爆裂开来。但是，唐山市的一百万居民几乎都没有把这些情况当一回事，当天晚上照常睡着了。
在凌晨3点42分，一切都开始摇晃起来。世界似乎到了末日！二十世纪最大的一次地震就在唐山市正下方11公里处发生了。200多公里以外的北京市都感到了地震，全国1 / 3的地方都有震感。一条8公里长30米宽的巨大裂缝横穿房舍、马路和渠道。地上一些洞穴冒出了蒸气。石头山变成了泥沙河，在可怕的15秒钟内，一座大城市就沉沦在一片废墟之中。人们遭受的灾难极为深重。2/3的人在地震中死去或受伤。成千上万个家庭遇难，许多孩子变成了孤儿。死伤的人数达到40多万。
幸存的人们又怎么能相信这是自然现象呢？人们无论朝哪里看，哪里的一切都几乎被毁了。所有的市内医院、75%的工厂和建筑物、90%的家园都消失了。残砖就像秋天的红叶覆盖着大地，然而它们是不可能被风刮走的。两座大坝垮了，多数桥梁不是塌了就是无法安全通行了。铁轨如今成了一条条废钢。好几万头牛再也挤不出奶来。50万头猪和几百万只鸡全都死了。井里满是沙子，而不是水。人们惊呆了。接着，在下午晚些时候，又一次和第一次一样的强烈的地震震撼着唐山。有些医生和救援人员被困在废墟下面。更多的房屋倒塌了。水、电和食物都很难弄到。人们开始纳闷，这场灾难还会持续多久。
不是所有的希望都破灭了。地震后不久，部队派了15万名战士到唐山来协助救援人员，数十万的人得到了救助。部队人员组成小分队，将受困的人们挖出来，将死者掩埋。在唐山市的北边，有一个万名矿工的煤矿，其中多数人得救了。援救人员为那些家园被毁的幸存者盖起了避难所，用火车、卡车和飞机向市内运来了水。慢慢地，这座城市又开始出现了生机。Ⅰ.Read the passage carefully and join the correct parts

点拨：本句是个复合句，含有一个 as if 引导的表语从句，其句型为“It looks / seems / sounds / feels as if...”。其中 it 本身无词义，常与 look, seem, feel, sound, smell 等连系动词连用。
① as if 常可以和 as though 互换，意为“仿佛；好像”。as if 引导的从句谓语动词常用虚拟语气，表示不真实或极少有可能发生或存在的情况：若表示与现在事实相反的主观设想，动词用过去式 (be 动词用 were，适用于各种人称)；若表示与过去事实相反的主观设想，动词用“had＋过去分词”形式。
He acts as if he were smoking. 他的举动好像在抽烟。(其实不是)
They talked as if they had been friends for years. 他们谈话的样子好像他们是多年的好朋友。(其实不是)
as if 引导的从句也可用陈述语气，表示说话者认为陈述的事情是真实的或极可能发生或存在的。

② at an end 结束，终止，终结
at the end of 在终点；在...的末了；在...的结尾；到...的尽头；到...的极限⒊ One-third of the nation felt it. 全国三分之一的地方都有震感。

三分之一——one third 或 one-third 或 a third
三分之二——two thirds 或 two-thirds
拓展：当分数作句子主语时，谓语的单复数由分数后面名词的单复数来决定。

ReadingA NIGHT THE EARTH DIDN'T SLEEP
Strange things were happening in the countryside of northeast Hebei. For three days the water in the village wells rose and fell, rose and fell. Farmers noticed that the well walls had deep cracks in them. A smelly gas came out of the cracks. In the farmyards, the chickens and even the pigs were too nervous to eat. Mice ran out of the fields looking for places to hide. Fish jumped out of their bowls and ponds. At about 3:00 am on July 28, 1976, some people saw bright lights in the sky. The sound of planes could be heard outside the city of Tangshan even when no planes were in the sky. In the city, the water pipes in some buildings cracked and burst.

① who thought little of these events 为非限制性定语从句，先行词是前面的“people”。非限制性定语从句与先行词的关系不够紧密，只起补充说明的作用，它的前后需要用逗号与主句分开。

点拨：本句是个复合句，含有一个 as if 引导的表语从句，其句型为“It looks / seems / sounds / feels as if...”。其中 it 本身无词义，常与 look, seem, feel, sound, smell 等连系动词连用。
① as if 常可以和 as though 互换，意为“仿佛；好像”。as if 引导的从句谓语动词常用虚拟语气，表示不真实或极少有可能发生或存在的情况：若表示与现在事实相反的主观设想，动词用过去式 (be 动词用 were，适用于各种人称)；若表示与过去事实相反的主观设想，动词用“had＋过去分词”形式。
He acts as if he were smoking. 他的举动好像在抽烟。(其实不是)
They talked as if they had been friends for years. 他们谈话的样子好像他们是多年的好朋友。(其实不是)
as if 引导的从句也可用陈述语气，表示说话者认为陈述的事情是真实的或极可能发生或存在的。
It sounds as if someone is coming. 听起来似乎有人来了。(很可能存在)
② at an end 结束，终止，终结
at the end of 在终点；在...的末了；在...的结尾；到...的尽头；到...的极限⒊ One-third of the nation felt it. 全国三分之一的地方都有震感。
点拨：句子的主语用了分数表示法。英语中的分数表示规则为：分子用基数词，分母用序数词，当分子大于 1 时，分母序数词词尾要加-s，分子和分母中间可以用连字符，也可不用。
三分之一——one third 或 one-third 或 a third
三分之二——two thirds 或 two-thirds
拓展：当分数作句子主语时，谓语的单复数由分数后面名词的单复数来决定。
One third of the apple has rotted. 这个苹果的三分之一烂了。
One third of the apples have rotted. 这些苹果中三分之一烂了。
Three fifths of the students in our class are from the countryside.

拓展：every time, each time, the moment, anywhere 也可作连词引导状语从句。
Each time I saw him, I thought of his poor brother. 每次看见他，我就想起了他可怜的弟弟。⒌ All hope was not lost. 并非所有的希望都破灭了。
点拨：该句使用了部分否定的句子结构。部分否定是由表示 “ 全 体 ” 意 义 的 代 词 、 副 词 或 形 容 词 all, both, every, everybody, always 等和否定副词 not 连用构成的。
Everyone doesn’t like the story.＝Not everyone likes the story. 非每个人都喜欢这个故事。
Both of the students don't like the story. 并非这两个学生都喜欢这个故事。
拓展：如要对上述的 all, both, every, always 等词作完全否定，那就分别要用与之相对应的全否定词，如 no, none, neither, no one, never, not (never)．..at all 等。
