26、语从句。_9_ has collected over 1,000 pieces of Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge souvenirs.作定语，修饰前面的a longtime Nanjing resident，所以 _9_ has collected over 1,000 pieces of Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge souvenirs.是一个定语从句，关系词在从句中作主语，指人，所以填who/that。10especially解析：考查副词。它是一种荣耀，特别是对于当地的南京市民。这里应该使用副词，所以填especially。.短文
