如：

孩子们依赖父母供给衣食。(2)第二句话以nor开头，用倒装语序。句中fishandwildlife后接一个由that引导的定语从句。(3)range范围，幅度，差距。这里用作名词，意为“一系列，各种各样”。如：

thewholerangeofhistory整个历史

outsidetherangeofhumanknowledge

在人类知识范围之外相关短语：beyondtherangeof…超过……的范围withintherangeof…在……范围之内e.g.Itisbeyondtherangeofmyability.

句中that指代carbon，后接过去分词短语producedbyacar作定语。英语中常用that来指代一个不可数名词。如：

Theweatherhereismuchmorepleasantthanthatinthenorth.

这里的天气比北方舒服多了。
