B.whichexplains;where;canblockC.thatexplains;where;block

D.explaining;that;blocks参考答案：D【详解】考查现在分词、同位语从句和动词时态。句意：一种解释这种现象的理论认为，针刺疗法使疼痛信号无法达到大脑。第一空处，theory是先行词，后面是that/which引导的定语从句或现在分词作定语；第二空处，名词phenomenon后面是其具体内容，是that引导的同位语从句；在句中suggest意为"认为，表明"，没有"建议"之意，后接宾语从句不需要使用虚拟语气，acupuncture应视作第三人称单数，排除了选项A、B；描述的现象属于一般性事实，要用一般现在时，排除选项C。故D项符合题意。23.He_____inLondonformanyyears,buthehasneverregrettedhisfinaldecisiontomovebacktoChina.A.lived
