34、词形式,且此处和其逻辑主语之间为主谓关系,故用现在分词形式depending。2解析:which考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处引导一个非限制性定语从句,在从句中作主语,修饰表示物的先行词“biological(生物的)age”,所以填which。3解析:is called考查动词的时态和语态。根据本句句意并分析句子结构可知,call与从句的主语which构成被动关系,故用被动语态,即“bedone”的形式,又因为描述的是客观情况,应用一般现在时,所以填is called。4解析:A考查冠词。study是可数名词,第一次在语境中出现,也没有用复数形式,故此处应用不定冠词修饰,又recent
35、的发音以辅音音素开头,所以填A。5解析:showed考查动词的时态。分析句子成分可知,空处为句子的谓语,又根据语境可知,此处应和定语从句中的were在时态上保持一致,所以填showed。6解析:physically考查副词。分析句子成分可知,空处修饰形容词fit,应用副词形式,在句子中作状语,所以填physically。7解析:to have考查非谓语动词。be likely to do sth.“有可能做某事”是固定用法,故此处用动词不定式。8解析:greater考查形容词的比较级。与语境中的“more likely”呼应可知,空处应用形容词的比较级形式,修饰名词risk,所以填greater。9解析:combination考查名词。根据空前的不定冠词a和空后的介词of可推知,空处应为名词,所以填combination。10解析:to考查介词。contribute to “促成,造成”是固定搭配,所以填介词to。8
