     Solar eclipses occur when the moon【C1】______ between the earth and the sun, and the moon’s shadow covers part of the earth; and a total solar eclipse takes place when the moon’s shadow blocks out the sun【C2】______ .

选项
答案 I
解析 该空格后为表示时间的名词短语the past 5000 years，因此空格处应选可以引导时间状语的介词。原句意为“这种情况______ 过去五千年在12月25日只出现过30次”，因此所选介词应表示“在……(时间)之间”，1(在……期间)最适合。
