【解析】

本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了从小就对太空感兴趣的艾尔莎在爸爸的支持下努力实现自己的航天梦，现在她有望成为第一批登上火星的人之一。

1.考查非限定性定语从句。句意：她在看儿时最喜欢的卡通片《花园小子》，里面有五个朋友在他们自己的背景下冒险。此处为非限定性定语从句，关系词指代先行词The Backyardigans，并在从句中作地点状语，故填where。

2.考查时态语态。句意：看完这一集后，艾尔莎被吸引住了，开始问她爸爸有关太空的问题。陈述的是过去的事情，主语Elsa与attract之间是被动关系，所以用一般过去时的被动语态，且谓语动词用单数，故填was attracted。

3.考查非谓语动词。句意：然而，艾尔莎的爸爸对这方面并不了解，于是就和艾尔莎一起寻找可以帮助她实现梦想的方法。Elsa's dad与know之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，表示主动，所以用现在分词作原因状语，故填knowing。

4.考查宾语从句。句意同上，分析句子结构可知空处引导宾语从句，从句中的do缺少宾语，故填what。
