19、，故用(that/which) we live in或where/in which we live；第二个从句的先行词为things，用that或which来引导，在从句中作主语且不能省略。一个主句中含有两个定语从句，引导词一般不能重复，故不能选D项，应选B项。2Dsearch作名词，如果它的前面有a/the/ones等限定词，常与for搭配；missing adj.不见了，找不到了，作表语时经常与go搭配。lost adj.丢失的；迷失的，作表语时经常与get搭配。3DJustin Foster与a high school student为同位关系，作句子主语，题线后为句子其他成分，不要误当
20、作一个非限制性定语从句。4AB、D项为who或介词whom引导的非限制性定语从句；C项为and连接的并列句。5Caged nine相当于定语从句who is aged nine；hear sb. doing sth.听到某人正在干某事；hear sb. do sth.听到某人干(了)某事(全过程)，return不能延续；属于瞬间动词，表结果。6Drealize认识到，意识到，符合题意；think认为；know知道，了解；recognize认出；承认。7C前句中since为副词，表示从过去某个时候开始一直到现在，故用现在完成时态。第二个句中Im sure的宾语从句中take是指过去发生的一个动作
21、，故用一般过去时态。8Bsuch(a/an)adj.n.用来加强语气，表示惊奇的情绪，意为“这样，那样”，若用so需改变冠词的位置，应为soadj.a/ann.(单)或soadj.作表语。第二个空考查同位语从句引导词，此处that引导的同位语从句用来说明evidence的具体内容。9Cthe Earth地球，世界上独一无二的东西前面加定冠词the；on Earth在世界上，在人间，为固定短语。10B第一个空考查as引导的非限制性定语从句，指逗号后面整句话；which引导非限制性定语从句，一般不可置于句首。第二个空考查系动词look，不能用于被动语态，在此处作谓语，且是过去时态，故用looked，过去式形式。注意，that was found为定语从句修饰the machine。.1.A根据文章第一句可知，这是文章的中心句，说明全文要讲的是大自然的奥秘。2B根据第二段第一句可知。3C根据第三段的第三、四、五句可知。4D根据文章最后一句“自然把她的奥秘只告诉给仔细看和听的人”可知。
