C.where D.because
答案:D。句意:我将永远不会忘记如此美丽的一个地方,因为我在那里和祖母一起度过了我的孩童时期。考查从句的引导词。从句意判断此处为原因状语从句,故选D。易错选A、C。这是一个陷阱题,稍不注意就会因前面的such而认为是such...that引导的结果状语从句而误选A;认为名词place是表示地点的定语从句的先行词,没有注意从句中已经有了地点状语there而误选C。实际上,空后的部分是一个完整的句子,前后为因果关系。

C.twice serious accidents as many D.serious accidents as many twice
答案:A。句意:最近统计数据显示,当开车时,男人发生重大车祸的次数平均是女人的两倍。考查倍数表达法。倍数词twice需放在第一个as之前,因为many修饰serious accidents,所以as...as中间的顺序是many+n.,故答案为A。易错选D。表示倍数的词应该放在第一个as之前,故排除。

A.so that B.in case
C.for fear that D.now that
答案:A。句意:我们应该做我们必须做的事目的是我们能在未来做我们想做的事。考查状语从句的引导词。so that“以便……,为了……”在此引导目的状语从句,其后句中的can就是标志词。如:We study hard so that we can go to Beijing University in the future.从语境和逻辑关系可知A项正确。in case“以防(万一)发生某种情况”引导目的状语从句,此外in case“万一”引导条件状语从句;for fear that“害怕/担心发生某事”引导目的状语从句;now that“既然,由于”引导原因状语从句。
68.(2011·沈阳二模,7)Children should be taught to respect everyone, ________ race, sex or age.
A.in terms of B.in the face of
C.regardless of D.in place of
答案:C。句意:应该教育孩子尊重每一个人,不管其种族、性别或年龄如何。考查介词短语辨析。regardless of“不管,不顾”符合语境和搭配。in terms of“就……而言/论,在……方面”;in the face of“面对,尽管,纵然”;in place of“代替,取代”。易错选B。没有准确理解语境“不管其种族、性别或年龄”,认为in the face of有“尽管,纵然”之意而误选。in the face of用法示例:He succeeded in the face of great opposition.尽管遭到许多反对,他还是成功了。
69.(2011·石家庄二模,20)Andy can go to the cinema together with us ________ he has finished the task.

A.when B.once
C.while D.as
答案:A。句意:那男孩正在街上闲逛时被一辆自行车撞了。考查连词。此处为be doing sth. when...“正在做某事……就在这时(突然)……”,其中的when为并列连词。易错选C。错误有二:一是忽略这是一个典型句式;二是while作并列连词时后接延续性动词或状态动词,而此处的hit为短暂性动词。
71.(2011·太原基础知识测试,33)—The machine broke down three hours ago, so all work had to be done ________.
—What a pity!
A.by hand B.in hand
C.at hand D.with hand
答案:A。句意:——三小时前这台机器出了故障,因此所有的工作都得用手做。——真遗憾!考查介词短语。by hand“用手,亲手,靠手做”。in hand“在手中,在进行中”;at hand“在手边,在附近,即将到来”。易错选D。想当然地认为with有“以,用(工具、手段)”的意思,而不知表示该意思时其后接工具而误选。如:write with a pen/pencil用钢笔/铅笔写。

C.Now that D.Ever since
答案:B。句意:尽管冬天依然陪伴着我们,而且还要再陪伴我们几周,但温暖的天气仍可能会出现在你们地区的天气预报里。考查连词。由语境逻辑可知此处为让步关系,故选B。even though“即使,纵然”表示让步关系;as long as“只要”引导条件句;now that“既然,由于”表原因;ever since“自从”表时间。
73.(2011·河南示范高中适应性测试,30)Having checked everything, he sat down to do his homework, ________ he heard a flash of lightning strike the electricity pole in the backyard.

答案:B。句意:在检查了所有的东西之后,他坐下做作业,就在此时他听到一道闪电击中了后院里的电线杆。考查连词。语境中强调的是时间“就在这时”故选when。此语境实际上是考生很熟悉的be about to do/be going to do...when...的派生形式。

A.since B.before
C.after D.until
答案:B。句意:我们需要更多的事实和数据才能做出最后的决定。考查连词。此处考查before的特殊用法“……才”。since“自……以来”,需和完成时连用;after“在……之后”;until“直到……才”,用在肯定句时,其后的动词应该是延续性的。易错选D。忽略until用在肯定句时其后必须跟延续性动词或没有准确理解句意造成误选。

A.that B.as
C.than D.what
答案:D。句意:——家乡给你留下最深刻印象的是什么?——街道,现在街道的长度是八年前的四倍。在交际用语中考查名词替代词和表语从句引导词辨析。what引导表语从句,在从句中作表语。易错选C。认为是考查倍数的表示法而没有意识到若用than,其后的句子结构不完整造成误选。

C.behind D.besides
答案:C。句意:警察认为在有暴力的地方,其背后总是存在着毒品对孩子们的有害影响。考查介词。behind“在……背后”符合语境。易错选D。认为besides有“在旁边,伴随”的意思而误选。beside与besides意思不一样。

A.in case B.every time
C.ever since D.the minute
