30、魔术师哈利胡迪尼的职业生涯和他所取得的成就。36考查非谓语动词。句意：他是一个以从牢房、从漂浮在河里的木箱、从装满水的锁着的水箱中逃脱而闻名的人。分析句子可知，句中有系动词“was”且句中无连词，故应用float的非谓语动词形式，float意为“漂浮”，动词词性，boxes与float之间为逻辑上的主谓关系，故应用float的现在分词floating，作定语修饰boxes。故填floating。37考查冠词。句意：群众前来观看伟大的胡迪尼和他的“魔术”。分析句子可知，句中的“Houdini”指的是上文提到的“Harry Houdini”，特指前面已经提到的人，应用定冠词the修饰。故填the。

33、其他部分”，被强调部分是句子主语“the publicity”，为物，故空格应用that。故填that。42考查表语从句。句意：但他最大的秘密是如何打开监狱的大门。根据句意和句子结构可知，句子为表语从句，句中表示的是最大的秘密是“如何”打开监狱的大门，故空格处应用how引导从句，意为“怎样，如何”。故填how。43考查定语从句。句意：每次他走进牢房，贝丝都会给他一个吻以示好运，一把小小的万能钥匙很快就从她嘴里传给了他，这把钥匙可以开很多把锁。根据句意和句子结构可知，句子为非限制性定语从句，先行词为“a small skeleton key”，指物，在从句中作主语，故应用关系代词which引导从
