　　11. No bird nor fish nor other animal could ever have lived on this earth， if the plants had not come first and fitted it for the dwelling place of a higher order of beings. （对过去进行虚拟：主句用情态动词+have done， 从句用过去完成时 had done 的形式）

　　12. It takes up such parts of the soil as are dissolved in the water. （as的句型是特殊的定语从句句型，由于前面出现了such才会采用as 来做定语从句的关系代词；take up 的意思是吸收；本句话的意思为：植物还会吸收能够在水中溶解的部分土壤。）
