A ． containing, where B ． to contain, which C ． containing, / D ． to contain, that

答案

C

【解析】

【详解】

考查非谓语动词和定语从句。句意：两本被偷的查尔斯 · 达尔文的笔记被匿名放在一个亮粉色的礼品袋里，里面装着存放这些笔记的原来的蓝色盒子和一个普通的棕色信封。分析句子可知，第一空处动词 contain( 包含，装着 ) 作后置定语修饰名词 a bright pink gift bag ，是非谓语动词，与其逻辑主语 a bright pink gift bag 之间是主动关系，应用现在分词表主动；第二空后 “the notebooks were kept in and a plain brown envelope” 是定语从句，修饰先行词 the original blue box ，先行词在定语从句中作介词 in 后的宾语，应用关系代词 which 或 that 引导该定语从句，且可省略。故选 C 项。
