【分析】
本题为词汇及词组的正确形式填空题,需结合语境、词性、语法规则(如词性转换、主谓一致、非谓语动词)和固定搭配解题。逐个分析:1空修饰名词world,需用nature的形容词形式;2空前是不定式符号to,用动词原形;3空考查固定搭配;4空为倒装句,主语是单数,谓语动词用第三人称单数;5空作主语,需用动名词短语;6空主语是复数,谓语用动词原形。
【解析】
1. 空格修饰名词world,需将名词nature变为形容词natural,构成固定表达“in the natural world”(在自然界);
2. 不定式符号to后接动词原形,方框内support符合语境,意为“以不同方式支撑生命”;
3. 考查固定搭配be home to,意为“是……的家园”,符合森林是动植物家园的语境;
4. 该句为倒装句,真正主语是单数的a network of roots,谓语动词用lie的第三人称单数形式lies,意为“地下有根系网络”;
5. 空格作主语,需用动名词短语,结合方框内容,Knowing something about作主语,意为“了解这个系统”;
6. 主语they是复数,谓语用动词原形look like,意为“看起来像”。
【答案】
1. natural
2. support
3. home to
4. lies
5. Knowing something about
6. look like
【知识点】
形容词变形、固定搭配、动词形式变化
