62. ________ is known to everybody, Taiwan is a part of China. We must unify it.

B. As
C. Which
D. What
先行词是Taiwan is a part of China整个主句，一般由as或which 引导定语从句，但which引导的定语从句只能放在主句之后，另外，as有“正如”之意，而which没有，所以用as。顺便说说，原句改为：It is known to everybody that Taiwan is…= What is known to everybody is that Taiwan is…
63. I shall never forget the day ________ Shen Zhou V was launched, ________ has a great effect on my life.

两空都是考查定语从句，先行词分别是the day和Shen Zhou V was launched, the day在定语从句中作状语，用when引导；后句是非限制性定语从句，不能用that，要用which。
64. The bread my wife makes is much better than ________ you can buy at a store.
A. that which
B. one that
C. that of which
D. this of which
因为替代不可数名词 (the bread) 只能用that，排除B和D；又因为先行词that (the bread) 在定语从句中作buy的宾语，用which，所以选A。
65. There is no such place ________ you dream of in all this world.
A. that
B. what
C. which
D. as

66. The people, ________ had been damaged by the flood, were given help by the Red Cross.

A. who
B. when
C. on which

68. Is this research center ________ you visited the modern equipment last year?
A. where
B. that
C. the one that
D. the one where 将疑问句改为述句：this research center is…显然缺少先行词，必须加上代词the one来作先行词，又因定语从句不缺主语或宾语，所以用关系副词where。假若在this后加the，就选where，请想想
这是为什么。
