98、查非谓语动词。分析该句结构可知,forest后面的部分作定语修饰rain forest,且rain forest与动词create之间在逻辑上是动宾关系,故用过去分词作定语。5which考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,该句中的“The park offers visitors a sight of nature”是主句,“at _5_ majorities . a look”是定语从句,空处在定语从句中作at的宾语,代指a sight of nature,故用which。6looking考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,该句中第二个逗号后面的部分是主句,这里应用非谓语动词作状语,look与主句的主语we构成逻辑上的主谓关系,故该处用现在分词。7of考查介词。of用于month, year等名词后以表示某状态或活动持续的时长。8to be考查非谓语动词。seem to do sth.为固定用法。9Another考查限定词。根据上文中的3 stone areas和One big area可知,这里用Another。another two areas表示“另外两个地区”。10colorful考查形容词。该空作表语,说明主语的性质、状态,故用形容词。colorful表示“色彩丰富的”。
