39、：这一戏剧性的展览揭示了2000年历史的泥塑大军背后的秘密，这些泥塑守卫着中国第一位皇帝、秦始皇的陵墓。此处缺乏谓语，此处讲的是事实，时态用一般现在时，本句主语The dramatic exhibition为单数，因此此处填动词第三人称单数形式。故填reveals。4考查定语从句。句意：他们是令人难以置信的神秘古墓守护者，1974年他们的发现成为全球头条新闻。此处是非限制性定语从句，先行词是the incredible, mysterious tomb guardians，与从句主语discovery形成所属关系，即the incredible, mysterious tomb guardia
40、ns discovery，此空作定语，用关系代词whose引导非限制性定语从句。故填whose。5考查副词。句意：庞大的石像部队有大约8 000个单独制作的雕像。此处用副词individually(单独地)作状语修饰过去分词crafted。故填individually。6考查冠词。句意：每一个人物的设计细节都令人印象深刻，是一个独一无二的艺术作品。此处泛指“一个独一无二的艺术作品”，one-of-a-kind以辅音音素开头，用不定冠词a表泛指。故填a。 7.考查固定搭配。句意：这些真人大小的雕塑根据军衔高低而有所不同，制服、发型，甚至脸型和表情都与之相仿。固定搭配vary in.(在方面有差异
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。
