41、)。故填in。8考查形容词。句意同上题。此处用形容词facial(面部的)作定语修饰名词shapes and expressions。故填facial。9考查非谓语动词。句意：兵马俑被选为中国十大奇观之一，被誉为世界第八大奇迹，1987年被联合国教科文组织列为世界文化遗产，尽管内墓本身还没有被发掘出来。本句已有谓语was regarded as且无连词，动词select用非谓语形式，主语The Terracotta Army和动词select是逻辑上的动宾关系，用过去分词表被动，作定语。故填selected。10考查数词。句意同上题。此处意为“第八大奇迹”，因此填序数词eighth。故填eighth。
