Answer 1

答案：
21．Although  考查句意理解以及从属连词  本句的意思是：虽然这位69岁的作家在法国是一个很受欢迎的文学人物，但他在其他地方却鲜为人知；此处用来引导让步状语从句，意为：虽然，尽管；故用Although．
22．upon/on   考查固定搭配  have an influence upon/on意为：对…有影响；故用upon/on． 
23．who/that  考查关系代词  本句为定语从句；由于先行词businessman （指人），在该从句中作主语，故用 who/that．
24．were brought    考查时态及语态  本句的意思是：当巴黎犹太人被带到集中营流放时； 由于此处讲述的是历史故事，所以应使用一般过去时；由于主语 Paris Jews与动词bring是被动关系，所以应使用一般过去时态的被动语态；故用were brought．
25．making   考查固定短语   spend time（in） doing意为：花费时间做…；故用making．
26．admired  考查过去分词   此处在句中作定语，修饰名词novel；由于动词admire与该名词是被动关系，故用过去分词admired．
27．who   考查句意理解以及特殊疑问词    本句的意思是：他试图通过他自己的历史经历来弄清楚他到底是谁；此处用来引导宾语从句，意为：谁；故用who．
28．that  考查固定句型   it seems/seemed unlikely that意为：似乎不可能…；其中的it为形式主语，用来指代真正的主语即that从句；故用that．
