⑥_____, in turn, become rain to irrigate terraces为非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词clouds,引导词在定语从句中作主语,所以应用关系代词。故填which。
⑦句意为:这些梯田是鸟类和鱼类的家园,其中包括一些可以消灭对农作物有害的昆虫的鸟类和鱼类。some of...意为"其中一些……"。故填of。
⑧此处作定语修饰名词scenery,所以应用形容词性物主代词。故填its。
⑨此处在attached 后作宾语,应用名词形式。attach significance to意为"重视;看重"。故填significance。
⑩修饰动词应用副词。故填rapidly。
