答案与解析
1.选D。what made matters worse 是主语从句(注意其后有谓语动词was),相当于 the thing that made matters worse。
2.选A。what 引导的是表语从句,相当于 the thing that it takes to do anything well。 3.选C。that 引导的是一个主语从句,句首的it为形式主语。
4.选 C。答句为省略句,其完整形式为 I was trying to prove to the police where I was last night,在此 where 引导的是一个宾语从句。类似地,下面选 C:
“_______ made her struggle to become an artist so hard?” “______ she was a woman.” A.What, What B.That, That C.What, That D.That, What
5.选D。what 引导的是表语从句,what 在此相当于 the things that。
6.选 C。句首的 it 是形式主语,空格处所填词用于引导主语从句。由于该主语从句中又缺主语,故排除A、B、D。(注意:不能选 A,因为 that 引导名词性从句时不能充当句子成分) 7.选 A。第一空填 what,是因为该主语从句中的动词 understand 缺宾语;why 和 because 均可引导表语从句,其区别是: why 引导表语从句强调结果,because 引导表语从句强调原因。句中空格后文表明的是结果,故用 why。
8.B。what 在此引导主语从句且在从句作宾语,它相当于 the thing that。
9.B。两空均填 what,均用于引导宾语从句,因为两个宾语从句中的动词 said 和do 均缺宾语,而在各个选项中只有 what 可用作宾语。
10.选 A。what 引导宾语从句。由于动词 wants 缺宾语,所以填 what。句意是:当你找工作面试回答问题时,请记住这条黄金定律:永远给予对方确实想要的东西。
11.选 A。I can to save them 为 I can do to save them 之略,此句中的 do 缺宾语,故选 whatever。
12.选 B。that 在此引导主语从句,无词义,也不充当句子成分。注意不要根据中文意思选 D,因为 because 不用于引导主语从句。
13.选 C。两个空格处均为引导宾语从句的引导词,而四个选项中两者可引导宾语从句的只有 C。
14.选 B。比较 That’s why… 与 That’s because…:前者用于强调结果,后者用于强调原因。如下面一题选 D:
I got wet all through._______ I had neither a raincoat nor an umbrella. A.It’s the reason B.That’s why C.There’s why D.That’s because
15.选 D。由 is worth praising 这一谓语可知前面是主语从句,排除不能引导从句的 B 项和 C 项;whoever 引导主语从句表示“任何……的人”,在此它相当于 anyone who。
