【解析】

试题分析：本文讲述的是龙卷风、飓风这些气候灾害的破坏性。

【1】考查定语从句。在后置的非限制性定语从句中which代替上文出现的事物或情况，这里要用which 指代前面的a tornado,故填which

【2】考查动词的单复数形式。本句的主语是a tornado,所以谓语动词要用单数，故填occurs

【3】 考查非谓语动词。句子已经有谓语动词了，这里要用非谓语动词，用现在分词表主动，故填affecting

【4】考查动词单复数。本句的主语是Hurricanes，所以谓语动词要用复数，故填strike

【5】考查形容词最高级。这里的一次是造成损坏最坏的一次，所以要用最高级，故填worst

【6】考查名词的用法。句子是指造成6000的死亡数，deaths n.死亡数，故填deaths

【7】考查动词。And 连接一个句子，这里与carried相对应，故填destructed

【8】考查定语从句。本句的先行词是地点，所以要用where来引导定语从句，where等于in which,故填where/ in which

【9】考查被动语态。这里是指被带到，所以要用被动语态，同时是发生在过去的，要用过去式。故填was carried

【10】考查固定短语的使用。eight years later八年后，符合题意。故填later
