A. whether B. since

C. Word came that D. Word came which
答案与解析 C word当“消息”讲时,是不可数名词,应用that引导同位语从句,本身无意义,也不作成分。

A. that B. how
C. who D. what
答案与解析 D 考查句子结构。句意:他的书写如此令人困惑,以至于难以辨认他在试图表达什么。分析句子结构可知,定语从句he is trying to express后缺少宾语,因此用what。

A. however B. whenever
C. wherever D. whichever
答案与解析 C 从题意判断,此处表示地点,故用wherever “无论什么地方”,相当于any place where。

C. which D. why
答案与解析 A 考查名词性从句。主语从句缺少表语,故用what。句意:在解决问题之前,一定要弄清楚问题是什么。
6.The old man was so angry and spoke so fast that none of his children understood________he said meant.
A. that that B. what what
C. what D. that
答案与解析 B 第一个what引导宾语从句作understood的宾语,并在宾语从句中作meant的宾语;第二个what引导的主语从句,“what he said”在understood后的宾语从句中作主语,what在该主语从句中作said的宾语。
7.I'm afraid he's more of a talker than a doer, which is ________ he never finishes anything.
A. that B. when
C. where D. why
答案与解析 D 考查表语从句。很显然,前文所说的(他是一个空谈家而不是一个实干家)是下文(他一事无成)的原因,由此可知应该选why。
8.Professor Li's book will show you________can be used in other contexts.
A. that you have observed
B. how you have observed
C. how what you have observed
D. how that you have observed
答案与解析 C how引导show的宾语从句,宾语从句中又缺少主语,所以what you have observed充当宾语从句中的主语,what在该主语从句中作宾语。

A. that B. how
C. when D. why
答案与解析 D 考查名词性从句。句意:那个男士为什么没有及时举报事故尚不清楚。分析句子成分可知,此处是一个主语从句,再结合句意可知应用why引导。

A. whether B. when
C. which D. where
答案与解析 A 考查主语从句的引导词。句意:这个旧汽车站是否应该被一个现代化的旅馆取代还在讨论之中。本句中的it是形式主语,真正的主语是从句________ the old bus station should be replaced with a modern hotel or not。whether在句中引导主语从句。
11.When it was clear________she did not speak a word of English, I tried to talk to her using Spanish I learned while living in Europe.
A. what B. that
C. why D. how
答案与解析 B that引导的主语从句为时间状语从句的真正的主语,it是形式主语。

A. since B. which
C. that D. because
答案与解析 C 考查同位语从句。句意:当战争爆发的消息传来时,他决定去部队服役。此处的“________the war broke out”解释说明the news的具体内容,且从句中不缺少成分,故为同位语从句,用that连接。
13.Modern science has given clear evidence ________ smoking can lead to many diseases.
A. what B. which
C. that D. where
答案与解析 C 考查同位语从句。句意:现代科学有充分的证据表明吸烟会导致多种疾病。结合句意和句子成分可知该句不缺少句子成分,故用that引导,解释说明evidence的内容。

A. whose B. what
C. which D. that

A. No matter when B. Whichever
C. No matter which D. Whenever

A. in the beginning B. at the beginning

答案与解析 B 句意:在故事开始时最好不要说它,否则它会泄露出人意料的结局。at the beginning of “在……开始时”,符合句意。at the end of “在……结束时;在……尽头”。in the beginning “起初;首先”; in the end “最后;终于”,两者都为固定短语,不与of连用。
3.A place is________if it has a long________.

C. historical; history D. historic; historical

7.She has________with little children.
A. not patience B. out of patience
C. no patience D. not patient
答案与解析 C 句意:她对小孩没耐心。要说“not any patience”; out of patience,不能充当宾语,这里has是及物动词,要带宾语;表示“有耐心的”意思时patient是形容词,故C项为答案。
8.________being short of money, he bought the house.
A. In spite of B. Although
C. Though D. Disregard
答案与解析 A 句意:尽管缺资金,他还是买了房子。although=though,后接从句;disregard是动词,本处要用介词性结构,可用disregarding “不顾”。in spite of与disregarding存在区别:in spite of “尽管”,介词短语,与主语的主观意图无关;disregarding “不顾”;用作前置词,是由现在分词变来,因此与主语关系较密切。有逻辑上的主谓关系,表示“有意地不理睬”。
9.It happens that he is expert at________mathematics, so you can ask him for advice.

C. advanced D. being advanced
答案与解析 C advanced mathematics “高等数学”。
