17、可知，逗号后是非限制性定语从句，先行词是micro-enterprises，且从句中作介词of的宾语，故用which。故选C【点睛】分析定语从句关键抓住两点：第一、找准先行词；第二、看先行词在定语从句中所作的成分。先行词往往为名词或代词，如本题中逗号后是非限制性定语从句，先行词为名词micro-enterprises，再分析先行词micro-enterprises在定语从句中所作的成分，将先行词micro-enterprises带到从句中可知，在从句中作介词of的宾语，故确定关系词which。9.Pity that I missed the Womens Volleyball Match on

What are we to make of this?Admittedly the mirror test is a questionable way of probing （探究）the minds of other animals. But the finding does fit with a new idea that the ability to recognise oneself
