语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了世界闻名的美国佛朗哥尼亚峡谷州立公园内的“大石脸”，也有人称它为“山上老人”。

1．creation空格中所填单词前面有冠词修饰，需用create的名词形式。

2．that/which“that/whichlookedjustlikeanoldman”是定语从句，修饰先行词rock，关系代词that/which在从句中作主语。

3．Locatedbelocatedin/on/at...是习惯用法，表示“(某地)位于……”，这里用的是其过去分词短语作状语。

4．and前后两句之间意义上是并列关系，用and连接。

5．asbeknownas意为“作为……而闻名”。

6．feet空格中所填单词前面有大于一的数词修饰，需用foot的复数形式。

7．cloudy空格中所填单词在句中作表语，需用cloud的形容词形式。

8．hadfallen从句谓语动词动作“fallapart”发生在主句谓语动词动作“discovered”之前，也就是过去的过去，用过去完成时。

9．hoping“hopingtorepairthestoneface”是现在分词短语作状语，分词动作hope与逻辑主语scientists之间是主动关系。

10．what“whattheysaw”是宾语从句，what在从句中作saw的宾语。
