24. Rather than confining the animals to cages, the zoo's lions currently live in an environment that it specially designed to mimic their natural habitat.

A the zoo's lions currently live in an environment that it specially designed to mimic their natural habitat.
rather不能修饰所有格的zoo's

B the zoo designed a special environment for its lions in which the animals currently live in a mimic of their natural habitat.
不知道哪里错了，不顺。

C the zoo is currently housing its lions in an environment that it specially designed to mimic their natural habitat.
对

D the zoo's lions currently live in a special environment that the zoo designed to mimic their natural habitat.
rather不能修饰所有格的zoo's

E the zoo currently houses their lions in a special environment designed to mimic their natural habitat.
houses 与confining不平行。their错了。

2，关于 “that it specially designed……”it是否多余的问题，指代什么，it是否应该是it的问题。
“housing 与confining平行，且逻辑主语正确，这里疑问是that后面引导定从，谓语应该有啊，所以这里it指代的是zoo？若是指代environment应该用被动 it is specially designed 吧？可是指代zoo的话，前面时态是现在时，这里是过去时，不太一致，从总体的大平行上感觉是C，可还是不太确定，求指导求讨论”-- UlysessHope
“可是c中的it怎么解释？B虽然啰嗦，但没有错误啊，C中it指代有问题吧 ”--涵Kris
“that it 应该是 that is吧?”-- Jimmyzhang2012
并不多余，主从对位指代主句主语zoo很清晰。有同学可能会疑问为何先行词在定语从句中坐宾语还要补出关系代词that。其实that是否补出并不是决定性错误，而且本句that补出让句子结构更为清晰；也就是说，当that补出让句子结构更为清晰时，即便先行词在定从中做宾语，依然要补出that。

有异议
that it 中的it明显指代的是environment
否则designed无法解释
1，zoo是main clause的动作主语没必要在that从句中被动，而且也不可能是zoo被designed
2，zoo没道理使用过去式的designed

楼主，我想问一下。
C选项，“the zoo is currently housing its lions in an environment that it specially designed to mimic their natural habitat”，it 在这里指代名词的时候，有没有就近指代一说？我没有选C是觉得it可能就近指代environment，有歧义。

主语是zoo，BC和E最有希望，E语法有错误，B太啰嗦，C如果是答案的话语法也有错误吧，that it是不是印错了？应该是that is?

由confining得知the subj. of the main clause is the zoo, 排除AD
E的zoo和their不一致
B的in which 用得不对
选A
