Ⅱ单项选择
1. A
解析：此题考察what引导名词性从句的用法。在此题中what引导主语从句，同时在从句中充当主语。
2. B
解析：通过对句子的分析可知，believe it or not是插入语，在此句中that引导的是the story的同位语从句。
3. D
解析：通过对句子的分析可知，此题需要选一词来引导表语从句，而从句中的明显缺少宾语，故只能what用来充当。
4. C
解析：介词on后面宾语从句不完整，同时从句缺少主语，故只能由what来充当。
5. C
解析：wonder后面的从句是疑问句应用陈述语序。即：特殊疑问词+主语+谓语动词。
6. B
解析：此句主句完整，从句也完整，故用that引导构成与the fact的同位语从句。
7. A
解析：why在它引导的从句中充当原因状语，从句在主句里充当介词on的宾语。
8. B
解析：what在它引导的从句中充当主语，同时整个从句可看成是idea的同位语从句，来说明idea的具体内容。
9. B
解析：本题考查定语从句以及固定短语turn to 的用法，关系代词因为在后面定语从句中做宾语因此省略掉，turn to sb 求助于某人。
10. B
解析：本题根据意思以及后面与or 的搭配关系可判断该处是“是否”，whether 引导宾语从句。
11. B
解析：本题考查名词性从句中的同位语从句，根据下文可知Danny留下的口信的内容，that 引导名词性从句。
12. C
解析：本题考查双重疑问句，疑问词＋do you think/believe/expect＋句子的其他成分（句子用称述句语序）。
13. C
解析：本题考查固定短语 be different from同时也考查名词性从句中的宾语从句，介词from后是宾语从句，但从句中be used to 后面少宾语，且根据上文是我们过去习惯的方法，这用what 符合语意。
14. A
解析：本题考查的是名词性从句中的表语从句，后面表语从句不完整，it was 后面还缺少表语，根据意思是“20年前的 样子”，后面一个句子是对20年前的补充说明，是一个非限制性定语从句，20年前学校设备条件不好，when 在定语从句中作时间状语。
15. B
解析：本题考查名词性从句的同位语，doubt 后的同位语根据意思没有怀疑故选择that 引导，that在从句中不充当成分。
