2.The retired engineer is showing ________ the wheelchair climbs stairs, which all the curious visitors want to know.
how [句意:这位退休的工程师正在展示轮椅如何爬楼梯,这是所有有好奇心的游客想知道的。由句意可知,填how,意为“怎么,如何”。这是how引导的宾语从句。]
3.Dick enjoys painting but he knows the fact ________ he doesn't have what it takes to be a professional.
that [句意:迪克喜欢画画,但他知道自己没有成为一名专业画家所需要的(素质)。that引导同位语从句,说明fact的具体内容。]
4.Success partially depends on ________ you have the patience to do simple things perfectly.

where [where引导宾语从句,且在从句中作地点状语。]
6.It never occurred to me ________ you could succeed in persuading him to change his mind.
that [it为形式主语,真正的主语为后面的从句,从句中不缺少成分,且句意完整,因此用that。]
7.________ is well known to everyone, I should say, is that a man becomes learned by asking questions.
What [分析句子成分可知,主语从句中缺少主语,且指事物,因此用what。]
8.Exactly ________ the potato was introduced into Europe is uncertain, but it was probably around 1565.
when [句意:土豆被引进到欧洲的确切时间不能确定,但很可能是1565年左右。分析句子结构可知,设空处为主语从句的引导词,根据around 1565判断,这里指时间,故填when。]
