参考解析:
1.【答案】C. 在本句中specific speech sounds are recognized by babies as young as 6 months old是前面evidence的同位语,因此应由that引导。
2.【答案】C. 因为the highest在本句中作宾语补足语,且曼谷不是唯一的儿童体内铅含量高的城市,因此应用among the world’s highest。
3.【答案】B. vacation假期,休假,(房屋等的)腾出;A. vocation号召,召唤,天职,行业(常指赖以为生的正业),才能;B. industry工业,产业,行业(指某一种行当);C. profession职业,专业;D. occupation职业。
4.【答案】A. he在此不指主句主语the winner,而是指宾语teacher,逗号后面是非限定性定语从句,关系代词在从句中作主语。
5.【答案】B. 本句是主句宾语带一个非限定性定语从句,先行词是the candidate,引导定语从句的关系代词在从句中作定语。
