先搜了一下，好像大家没太讨论这题。所以就直接发上来问了~
GWD7-Q20:

The first trenches that were cut into a 500-acre site at Tell Hamoukar, Syria, have yielded strong evidence for centrally administered complex societies in northern regions of the Middle East that were arising simultaneously with but independently of the more celebrated city-states of southern Mesopotamia, in what is now southern Iraq.

A.that were cut into a 500-acre site at Tell Hamoukar, Syria, have yielded strong evidence for centrally administered complex societies in northern regions of the Middle East that were arising simultaneously with but

B.that were cut into a 500-acre site at Tell Hamoukar, Syria, yields strong evidence that centrally administered complex societies in northern regions of the Middle East
were arising simultaneously with but also
C.having been cut into a 500-acre site at Tell Hamoukar, Syria, have yielded strong evidence that centrally administered complex societies in northern regions of the Middle East were arising simultaneously but

D.cut into a 500-acre site at Tell Hamoukar, Syria, yields strong evidence of centrally administered complex societies in northern regions of the Middle East
arising simultaneously but also
E.cut into a 500-acre site at Tell Hamoukar, Syria, have yielded strong evidence that centrally administered complex societies in northern regions of the Middle East arose simultaneously with but

答案是E。但E是cut into a 500-acre site at Tell Hamoukar, Syria, 修饰The first trenches，属于一个定语从句(?)，定语从句中能省略引导词that的只在that在从句中做宾语或补语时。这里that应该是做从句的主语，指代the first trenches吧。为什么也能省略呢？谢谢各位大牛啦。

哦~这样啊。谢谢坤kun啦。

这里cut不是做定语从句啦~而是过去分词做后置定语修饰trenches，这种方式通常是比定语从句来的简洁~而且如果你把cut 理解成定于从句的谓语动词，主语是trenches，那就变成trenches自己分割了~逻辑上肯定不对的~
再举个例子吧~
The shirt bought from this shopping mall is my favorite.（bought过去分词做后置定语修饰clothes）
=The shirt that was bought from this shopping mall is my favorite.
显然第一个句子要比第二个句子简洁~
