Section Ⅱ—Learning about Language
一、单项填空
1I’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
解析:考查连词。句意:恐怕他说的比做的多,这就是他一事无成的原因。此处考查系动词be后的表语从句的引导词,根据句意,D项正确。
答案:D
2Cindy shut the door heavily and burst into tears.No one in the office knew she was so angry.?
A.where B.whether C.that D.why
解析:本题考查宾语从句的引导词。由第一句辛迪重重地把门关上,可推出她非常生气。本句表达“办公室没有人知道她如此生气的原因”,因此应用why。
答案:D
3—I prefer shutting myself in and listening to music all day on Sundays.
—That’s I don’t agree.You should have a more active life.?
A.where B.how C.when D.what
解析:本题考查表语从句的引导词。由第二个人所说的“You should have a more active life”可知第二个人不同意第一个人的观点。用where表示“那是我不同意的地方”,如果选择what,则应在agree后加with。
答案:A
4Men usually go straight to they want and leave quickly when shopping.?
A.what B.which C.where D.that
解析:句意:男士购物时通常直奔所需购买之物,然后很快离开。to后面宾语从句中的动词want缺少宾语,故用what引导。which引导名词性从句,有“哪一个;哪一些”之意;where为副词,在从句中应作地点状语;that引导名词性从句时,只起引导作用,不充当任何成分。
答案:A
5As a new diplomat,he often thinks of he can react more appropriately on such occasions.?
A.what B.which C.that D.how
解析:句意:作为一名新外交官,他总是思考在这种场合下做出怎样的反应更合适。根据句意,of后的宾语从句缺少方式状语,故用how引导。
答案:D
6At first he hated the new job but decided to give himself a few months to see it got any better.?
A.when B.how C.why D.if
解析:句意:最初,他很不喜欢这份新工作,但是决定给自己几个月的时间看看是否有所改善。if引导see后的宾语从句,表示“是否”,符合句意。when表示时间;how表示方式;why表示原因,都与句意不符。
答案:D
7—Are you still thinking about yesterday’s game?
—Oh,that’s .?
A.what makes me feel excited
B.whatever I feel excited about
C.how I feel about it
D.when I feel excited
解析:本题需要考虑语境,所填内容是回答问题的,此处是由what引导的表语从句。
答案:A
8Great changes have taken place in that school.It is no longer it was 20 years ago, it was so poorly equipped.?
A.what;when B.that;which
C.what;which D.which;that
解析:what引导表语从句,表示“……的样子(一切)”。when引导非限制性定语从句,修饰20 years ago。
答案:A
9The place the bridge is supposed to be built should be the cross-river traffic is the heaviest.?
A.which;where B.at which;which
C.at which;where D.which;in which
解析:考查从句引导词的用法。第二个从句是表语从句,从句中缺状语。故排除B项。第一个从句是定语从句,引导词在从句中作状语,排除A、D两项,此处at which=where。
答案:C
10—I drove to Zhuhai for the show last week.
—Is that you had a few days off??
A.why B.what C.when D.where
解析:该题考查引导表语从句的连词的用法。what引导从句时在从句中充当主语或宾语,填入该题中出现语法错误,应先排除;其他项都可以在表语从句中作状语,填入句中从单句看语法和意义都正确,但第一句话内容是第二句话所询问的“you had a few days off”的原因,此处用why表示“……的原因”。
答案:A
二、翻译填空,注意表语从句中动词的时态
1That is (他是如何救那个男孩的).?
答案:how he saved that boy
2That’s why (昨天我不能去参加聚会的原因).?
答案:I couldn’t go to the party yesterday

答案:C
8A.thrown into B.put in

C.set out D.set off
解析:set up意为“设立;建立”,set free意为“释放”,set out意为“出发,开始”,set off意为“出发;使爆炸”。由本句句意可知此处用set free,表示Dr.Manette被关了18年后被释放出来。
