【8】which A Brief History of Time是先行词,指物,而且前面有介词,故用which。
【9】has been selling 句意:自从出版,这本书一直畅销。since“自从……以来”,和现在完成时态和现在完成进行时态连用;sell well销量很好(主动表示被动),根据句意可知,用现在完成进行时态,故填has been selling。

【知识拓展】
1.Since自从……以来(可作介词和连词),和现在完成时态连用,根据语境也可和现在完成进行时态连用。He has lived here since he came. 自从他来到这里,就一直在这里住着。
2.It is /has been+一段时间+since 主语+一般过去时态+其他。自从做某事有多长时间了。
在这个句型中如果从句的动作是终止性动词,则表示从动作开始到现在多长时间了;如果从句的动作是持续性动词,则表示从动作结束到现在多长时间了。It is three years since he joined (终止性动词)the army.他参军有三年了;It is five years since he lived(持续性动词)here.他离开这有五年了。
