21. It’s on such occasions __ his classmates get together that he misses his teachers. A. that B. whether C. as D. when
【解析】考查定语从句。句意：就在他的同学聚在一起这样的时刻，他想念他的老师。分析句子可知本句是强调句型It is +被强调部分（强调的是on the occasion__his classmates get together）+其他。先行词是such occasions（这个时刻），在从句中作状语，放入句中即 his classmates get together on the occasion。所以要用on which=when。故选D项。
22. The old man _________ buried underground for ever but for the timely rescue. A. had been B. would have been C. will be D. would be
【解析】考查虚拟语气。如果不是及时援救，那个老人可能就被埋在地下了。分析句子可知这是一个与过去相反的虚拟语气，省略了if从句（if there had no timely rescue）。与过去事实相反的虚拟语气，主句要用would/could/might/should+have done，故选B项。

【解析】考查动词短语辨析。let go (of) 放开，松手；let down放下，降低，使失望；let alone更别提，不干涉，更不用说；let off排放，免除。根据句意：令人难以置信的是那个小男孩设法到达了目的地，更别说开车了。分析选项可知C是正确的。
26. I was thinking of going to see Andrew when who appear but Andrew himself. A. would B. should C. could D. might

to 【解析】考查固定搭配。句意：辽宁省一幼儿园发生疑似食物中毒事件，导致几名儿童被送进医院。lead sb/sth doing = lead sb to do sth，为固定搭配，导致某人做某事/导致某事的发生。分析句子可知几个儿

【解析】考查固定句式。--你对实验室满意吗？－非常满意。这是最好的实验室（没有比这更好的）。We can’t have ___ 是省略句，还原为We can’t have ___ than the laboratory..本句中的关键Not a little.（非常满意）。根据句意可知是满意的，没有比这更好的（We can’t have a nicer one than the laboratory），即这是最好的。在英语中，可以用形容词或副词的比较级来表示最高级。
30. We should place ________ emphasis on development and security, and develop nuclear energy on the base of security.

【解析】试题分析：考查形容词辨析。A. equal平等的，同样的；B. central中央的；C. superior较好的；D. maximum最大量的；句意：我们应该给予发展和安全同等的重视，并且在安全的基础上发展核能源。根据句意可知选A项。

A. whichever B. whatever C. no matter which D. what
【解析】考查状语从句。句意：不管是什么原因，最终研究表明，英语谚语“笑是最好的药”，可能是真的。本句中的_________ the reason是个省略句，还原为_________ the reason is 。分析可知，所填的空作表语，whatever 与whichever都为无论什么，无论任何东西，但前者无范围后者有范围，而no matter which，“无论什么”但也有范围的；what是特殊疑问词，不符合题意。分析本句可知，无论什么原因，是没有范围，所以A与C有是指有范围的，不能用，而D是特殊疑问词，不能用，故选B。
