文章大意：本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了地震每时每刻都在发生以及地震造成的伤害等。
解析：
1．考查动词的时态。 根据句意“事实上几乎每时每刻都在发生成千上万次的地震”可知用现在进行时。故填are happening。
2. 考查副词。空前的句意与空后的“大多数地震太弱，几乎感觉不到”之间是转折关系，故填hwever。
3．考查副词。用副词terribly修饰动词shakes。故填terribly。
4. 考查形容词。用形容词natural修饰名词disasters。故填natural。
5．考查非谓语动词。空前的主语a severe earthquake与kill 之间是主动关系，故用现在分词killing。故填killing。
6．考查名词单复数。death 是可数名词，此处用复数形式deaths。故填deaths。
7. 考查介词。such as意为“例如”。故填as。
8．考查名词。injure 的名词是injury。injury又是可数名词，需用复数形式injuries。故填injuries。
9. 考查动词的时态。由fr centuries可知，这里填have been。此处have been making是现在完成进行时结构。故填have been。
10. 考查定语从句。从句中的引导词在后面的定语从句中作地点状语，故用where引导。故填where。
