83. Facing the fierce

【点评】横线处要填的是一个非谓语从句，根据句意可知前后主语都是the automobile manufacturer，因此用现在分词形式。
84. nearly have nothing
in common / hardly have anything in common
【点评】have something in common有共同点，注意表示否定时副词的使用。

【点评】本题考查only位于句首的倒装。这里强调的是过去的事情对现在造成的影响“不能成功”，因此应用现在完成时态。
86. more species would
have been extinct from the earth
【点评】but for，“要不是，如果没有”，这里考查虚拟语气，后面应该用would +
have done的形式，强调这种非真实的虚拟对将来可能发生的情况的影响。
