Mahal，并且关系词在从句中作主语，故填which。2technically考查词性转换。分析句子结构可知，空处修饰整个句子，因此用副词。technically表示“严格来说”。3as/because考查连词。设空后的句子解释“sunrise is the best time”的原因，故用as或because引导原因状语从句。4rewarding考查词性转换。分析句子结构可知，空处在句中作表语，故用形容词形式rewarding，意为“值得的”。5choice考查词性转换。空前有“a nice”，故填名词choice。6after考查介词。本句中的“cooler”说明傍晚的温度要低一些，而且前一句中的sunset也表明是在炽热的下午之后。7is surrounded考查动词的时态和语态。句子的主语monument与surround之间存在被动关系，且此处描述一般情况和情形，应用一般现在时，故用一般现在时的被动语态。8to capture考查非谓语动词。本句为It takes . to do .
