In English, a shadw can als be cnsidered a weak frm f urselves. S, when smene is a weaker versin f what they used t be, we can say they are a “shadw f their frmer self”.
On the ther hand, a persn wh is “larger than life” casts a big shadw. In this case, the shadw is nt frm their actual bdies but frm their persnality and successes. T “cast” in this case means t send smething ut r frward. Children f successful peple ften have prblems. They “live in the shadw” f their parents and can feel nt successful by cmparisn. We culd als say that the successes f the parents “cast a shadw” ver the lives f the children.
Smething else that can cast a shadw is ur sins— actins cnsidered t be bad. Here is anther expressin “ld sins cast lng shadws”.
Think abut yur shadw n a sunny day. The shadw yu cast can be lng and far-reaching. The same can be said fr ur past mistakes and sins. They can reach far int the future. They affect ur present-day situatin. S, the saving “ld sins cast lng shadws” means that the wrng things we d early in ur lives can have lng term effects.

In the end, they were bth arrested. When the plice came t take the jewel thief away, she said, “Hw did yu find me? My crime was s lng ag,” The detective answered, “Old sins cast lng shadws.”
“Old sins cast lng shadws” als can be used in anther way. It can be used t talk abut ther peple’s sins and hw they affect us. It means that smetimes peple suffer frm the sins f thers.

28．答案：①bservatins②abslutely③but④surprising⑤has traveled⑥His⑦t see⑧t⑨was discvered⑩hw
解析：①考查名词。句意：在科学史上，有大发现，也有小发现，有奇妙的发现，也有未知的观察。形容词unknwn后接名词形式。根据连词and前的并列名词discveries、findings可知，用名词的复数形式。故填bservatins。
②考查副词。句意：拜伦·亚当斯教授带领的团队发现了一块完全没有生物的土地，也没有任何证据表明那里曾经生活过任何生物。句中用副词作状语。故填abslutely。
③考查连词。句意：“死亡地带”在南极洲，但它不在冰上。根据前后句意可知，这里为转折关系，所以用转折连词but。故填but。
④考查形容词。句意：亚当斯在一次采访中说：“这真的很令人惊讶，因为，你知道，在地球上的任何其他地方，你都会发现微生物。”句中用形容词作表语，表示“令人惊讶的”，用形容词surprising。故填surprising。
⑤考查时态。句意：在过去的20年里，亚当斯几乎每年都去南极洲旅行。根据时间状语fr the last 20 years可知，用现在完成时。主语为第三人称Adams，助动词用has。故填has traveled。
⑥考查代词。句意：他的主要兴趣是研究土壤样本，看看生态系统是如何在数万年的时间里适应气候的。名词interest前用形容词性物主代词。故填His。
⑦考查非谓语动词。句意：他的主要兴趣是研究土壤样本，看看生态系统是如何在数万年的时间里适应气候的。句中用不定式作目的状语。故填t see。
⑧考查介词。句意：他的主要兴趣是研究土壤样本，看看生态系统是如何在数万年的时间里适应气候的。adapt ... t...适应。故填t。
⑨考查时态和语态。句意：当他的研究小组进入一个被称为干谷的南极地区，那里的巨大冰川在数千年前消失了，他们发现了完全出乎意料的事情。空处为主句谓语动词，陈述过去的事情，用一般过去时。主语smething与discver之间为被动关系，所以用被动语态。主语为不定代词smething，谓语动词用单数。且故填was discvered。
⑩考查名词性从句。句意：他不确定“死亡区域”有多大。根据后句“He thinks it’s prbably less than 50 square miles.”可知，问面积大小用hw big。故填hw。
