69、星的观测。修饰名词cycles,应用形容词;nature是名词,形容词为natural,故填natural。3.observation考查名词。句意见上题。在定冠词the后,应用名词作prevent的宾语;observe是动词,名词为observation。4.on考查介词。句意:但它对环境的影响远远不止于此。effect on.对的影响,故填on。5.studying考查非谓语动词。句意:通过对一些树木的研究,研究人员发现,在晚上,受到更多人工照明的树木比在正常的夜间环境下的树木发芽早7.5天。By后接动名词作宾语,故填studying。6.exposed考查固定短语。句意见上题。be ex
