Ⅲ. 1. B [本题含有两个定语从句，先行词the world在第一个定语从句中作we live的地点状语，故用(that/which) we live in或where/in which we live；第二个从句的先行词为things，用that或which来引导，在从句中作主语且不能省略。一个主句中含有两个定语从句，引导词一般不能重复，故不能选D项，应选B项。]
B. live near New York
C. search for food
D. look and listen carefully
2. D [search作名词，如果它的前面有a/the/one’s等限定词，常与for搭配；missing adj. 不见了，找不到了，作表语时经常与go搭配。lost adj. 丢失的；迷失的，作表语时经常与get搭配。]
3. D [Justin Foster与a high school student为同位关系，作句子主语，题线后为句子其他成分，不要误当作一个非限制性定语从句。]
4. A [B、D项为who或介词＋whom引导的非限制性定语从句；C项为and连接的并列句。] 5. C [aged nine相当于定语从句who is aged nine；hear sb. doing sth. 听到某人正在干某事；hear sb. do sth. 听到某人干(了)某事(全过程)，return不能延续；属于瞬间动词，表结果。]
6. D [realize认识到，意识到，符合题意；think认为；know知道，了解；recognize认出；承认。] 7. C [前句中since为副词，表示从过去某个时候开始一直到现在，故用现在完成时态。第二个句中I’m sure的宾语从句中take是指过去发生的一个动作，故用一般过去时态。]
8. B [such(a/an)＋adj. ＋n. 用来加强语气，表示惊奇的情绪，意为“这样，那样”，若用so需改变冠词的位置，应为so＋adj. ＋a/an＋n. (单)或so＋adj. 作表语。第二个空考查同位语从句引导词，此处that引导的同位语从句用来说明evidence的具体内容。]
9. C [the Earth地球，世界上独一无二的东西前面加定冠词the；on Earth在世界上，在人间，为固定短语。]
10. B [第一个空考查as引导的非限制性定语从句，指逗号后面整句话；which引导非限制性定语从句，一般不可置于句首。第二个空考查系动词look，不能用于被动语态，在此处作谓语，且是过去时态，故用looked，过去式形式。注意，that was found为定语从句修饰the machine。]
Ⅳ. 1. A [根据文章第一句可知，这是文章的中心句，说明全文要讲的是大自然的奥秘。] 2. B [根据第二段第一句可知。]
3. C [根据第三段的第三、四、五句可知。]
