When I try to understand ______ that prevents so many Americans from being so happy as one might expect, it seems to me that there are two causes.
A why it does
B what it does
C what it is
D why it is
答案:C
[解析] 句意：当我试图弄明白到底是什么妨碍如此多的美国人如愿以偿地获得快乐的时候，我发现好像有两个原因。本题是一个宾语从句为强调句型的主从复合句，句子结构较复杂。在这个强调句中，被强调的部分是引导宾语从句的连接代词what。如果把连接代词what换成一个名词，句子结构便一目了然了：It is the inflation that prevents so many Americans from being so happy as they might expect．据此分析不难看出C正确。
22.
The speech ______, a lively discussion started.
A to deliver
B be delivered
C delivering
D having been delivered
答案:D
[解析] 句意：演讲发表之后，热烈的讨论便开始了。独立主格结构。句子开头是一名词，其前又无连接词，据此判断逗号前应该是一个分词独立主格做状语。依据发表和讲演的逻辑关系分析，此分词应用过去分词，表被动。根据分词动作与谓语动作的先后顺序，分词要用完成式。综合考虑所有这些因素后，自然选D。
23.
______ evidence that language-acquiring ability must be stimulated.
A It being
B It is
C There is
D There being
答案:C
[解析] 句意：有证据证明语言习得的能力必须要激发才行。句中的that从句是evidence的同位语从句。由此推断主句尚缺主语和谓语。主句如为强调句型(It is evidence that...)，则evidence必须要在从句中担任语法成分，此句显然不是这种情况。那么，主句就只可能是there be句型了，evidence做主句的主语，也是后面同位语从句的先行词，故选C。
24.
What he told us about the accident does not ______.
A make any sense
B mean any point
C mean any importance
D take anything
答案:A
[解析] 句意：他告诉我们的有关那场事故的话毫无意义。本题考查动词短语make sense(讲得通，有意义)的用法。not make any sense意为“毫无意义”，其他选项均搭配有误，故选A。注意：mean的搭配有mean anything/nothing/much/a great deal；make a point则是：证明一个观点。
25.
Studies reveal that people spend two hours dreaming every night, no matter what they ______ during the day.
A should do
B would have done
C may have done
D must do
答案:C
[解析] 句意：研究证明人们每天晚上都要用两个小时来做梦，无论他们白天可能做过些什么。本题考查情态动词+动词完成式的用法。晚上做梦可能由于白天做过什么，显然是对过去可能性的推测，而may (might) have done正是对过去可能性的推测，故选C。注意：would have done只能用于虚拟过去的动作。
26.
Evidence came up ______ specific speech sounds are recognized by babies as young as six months old.
A what
B that
C which
D whom
答案:B
[解析] 句意：已有证据证明小到六个月大的婴儿都能辨别出某些特别的说话声音。这是一个含有同位语从句的主从复合句。空格前面已是一个完整的句子，空格后面又是一个完整的句子，这就可推断出此空要填从属连接词以便使后面的句子成为前面主句的从句，语法才能正确。而后面的从句又不缺少语法成分，这就意味着要填的这个词只起连接作用而不担任从句的语法成分，故只能选B。从属连接词that引导evidence的同位语从句而又并不担任从句的任何成分。其他选项都必须在从句中担任某个语法成分。
27.
We agree to accept ______ they thought was the best tourist guide.
A whatever
B whichever
C whomever
D whoever
答案:D
[解析] 句意：我们同意认可任何一个他们认为是最佳导游的人。宾语从句题。考生们最易把此题答案误选成C，误把这个引导宾语从句的连接代词当成they think的宾语。实际上，they think仅是插入语。做这类题的简单办法便是暂时去掉插入语，句子结构便容易看清了。这个连接代词除了要引导宾语从句外，还要担任宾语从句的主语，故必须选主格的连接代词才正确，故选D。
28.
In no country ______ Britain can one experience four seasons in the course of a single day.
A more than
B other than
C rather than
D better than
答案:B
[解析] 句意：除了英国之外，在其他任何国度里人们都不可能在一天之内体验到四季(的气候变化)。词语搭配题。A．比……多，比……更……；B．除了……之外；C．而不是；D．比……更好。句子前面有否定词no与other than搭配起来就构成了否定之否定，意思就成了“除了英国之外别国都不=只有在英国才能”，故选B。
29.
______ me the money for my tuition then, I would be working on the farm now.
A Had my uncle not lent
B Shouldn"t my uncle lend
C Would my uncle lend
D If my uncle not lent
答案:A
[解析] 句意：要不是当时叔叔借钱给我交学费，我这会儿还在农场干活呢。虚拟语气题。本题是一个错综时间条件句，条件状语从句虚拟的是过去动作，而主句虚拟的是现在动作。因此从句谓语应用过去完成时即had done的形式，且可省略If并把had提至句首，故选A。
30.
Inexperienced as he is, he has succeeded ______ other experienced researchers fail.
A where
B what
C which
D how
答案:A
[解析] 句意：尽管他没经验，他还是在其他那些有经验的科研人员失败的领域里取得了成功。状语从句题。主句中的succeed作为“成功”解时是不及物动词，如果其后要接宾语从句需用介词in才行。既然此处没有介词in，那么后面接的就只能是由连接副词引导的状语从句。而B与C均为连接代词，只能引导名词性从句，因而首先排除。D虽为连接副词也能引导方式状语从句，但与主句意思不合，故也排除。A为连接副词，引导地点状语从句，表示成功的领域，故选A。
31.
I want to know whether the weather will change ______ bit tomorrow.
A a little
B little
C some
D a few
答案:A
[解析] 句意：我想知道明天的天气会有一点改变吗。本题考查的是固定用法。a little bit是固定词组，意为“有一点，有几分”。
32.
The flowers will soon open on condition that they are ______ into a warm room.
A brought
B pushed
C harvested
D waved
答案:A
[解析] 句意：如果把这些花移到温室里，它们很快就会开放。本题考查的是动词的词义辨析。bring：带来，拿来，把……移至……；push：推动，挤；harvest：收割，收获；wave：挥手，招手。根据句子意思，A最恰当。
33.
I ______ to post the letter that I wrote to my parents, but I was too busy.
A remembered
B must remember
C had remembered
D should have remembered
答案:D
[解析] 句意：我本应该记得去把信寄给我的父母，但我太忙了。本题考查的是情态动词的用法。由逗号后面的句子可知，前半句表达的意思应该是“我本应该记得去寄(但是实际上我没寄)”。符合此意的只有D项。should+have done结构表示“过去应该做某事而没有做”。A、C项表示“记得”；B项表示“一定要记得”，与句意不符。
34.
______ that this region was so rich in natural resources.
A Little he knew
B Little he did know
C Little did he know
D Little he had known
答案:C
[解析] 句意：他几乎不知道这个地区自然资源这么丰富。本题考查的是倒装结构。否定副词或含有否定词的短语放在句首时，句子要用部分倒装。本句中是将little放在句首，应用倒装结构，将助动词提到主语前，故选C。
35.
The furniture that he bought last week ______ quite modern.
A is
B are
C has been
D have been
答案:A
[解析] 句意：他上周买的家具很时髦。本题考查的是时态及主谓一致的问题。分析句子结构可知，本句的主语是the furniture，其后是一个定语从句。句子主体结构为主系表结构。因为是描述客观事实，所以谓语应用一般现在时，排除C和D项。英语中，furniture为不可数名词，所以当其做主语时，后面的谓语动词应用单数。
36.
It was dark so I didn"t notice what ______ her dress was.
A set
B sample
C type
D pattern
答案:D
[解析] 句意：天太黑了，所以我没注意她的连衣裙是什么款式的。本题考查的是名词的词义辨析。set：一组，一套；sample：样品，标本；type：种类，类型；pattern：样式，模式，款式。根据句子意思，D项最恰当。
37.
Rubber differs from plastics ______ it is produced naturally and not in the lab.
A at that
B in that
C for that
D with that
答案:B
[解析] 句意：橡胶和塑料不同，因为它是自然生产的，而非产于实验室。本题测试连词的辨析。in that：因为。例如：Criticism and self-criticism is necessary in that it helps us to correct our mistakes．(批评与自我批评是必要的，因为它能帮我们改正错误。)
38.
Don"t give me so much information—you"re ______ me!
A mistaking
B mixing
C misunderstanding
D confusing
答案:D
[解析] 句意：不要给我太多信息——你把我弄糊涂了。本题考查的是动词的词义辨析。mistake：误解，弄错；mix：混合；misunderstand：误解；confuse：使(某人)迷惑，困惑。根据句子意思，D项最恰当。
39.
How does she manage to keep her ______ when she eats so much?
A body
B figure
C state
D outline
答案:B
[解析] 句意：她吃得挺多的，但不知道她是如何将身材保持得那么好的?本题考查的是名词的词义辨析。body：身体，躯体；figure：体形，身姿；state：状态，状况；outline：轮廓，外形。keep one"s figure也是一个固定搭配，意为“保持身材”，所以B为正确答案。
40.
I didn"t hear ______ because there was too much noise where I was sitting.
A what did he say
B what he had said
C what was he saying
D what to say
答案:B
[解析] 句意：我没有听到他说的话，因为在我坐的地方有太多的噪音。本题考查的是宾语从句。由what引导的从句在句子中充当宾语，因此要用陈述语序，又因“他所说的”在“didn"t hear”之前发生，故要用过去完成时态，故选B。
