This new species, __6__ (name) Xenoposeidon proneneukos, which means forward sloping, lived about 140 million years ago.
Mike Taylor, __7__ has spent five years studying sauropod vertebrae, __8__ (immediate) knew that this was the backbone of a sauropod.

语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。迈克·泰勒偶然发现了一种新的恐龙物种;经研究证明,这是一种新的蜥脚类动物。 1.conducting 考查现在分词。该句主语“Mike Taylor”和动词“conduct”之间是逻辑上的主谓关系,且根据空前的“while”可知,该处表示动作正在发生,故用conducting。该句也可以看成状语从句的省略,省略了主语“Mike Taylor”和be动词“was”。
2.was identified 考查时态和语态。该句主语“This new species”和动词“identify”之间是被动关系,故用被动语态;此处陈述的是过去发生的事情,故用一般过去时。
3.with 考查介词。该蜥脚类动物为四肢食草恐龙,它有着长长的脖子和尾巴,还有相对小的头骨和大脑。with表示“具有,带有”,符合语境。
