【答案与解析】

1. C, A。第一句when引导定语从句;第二句是强调句。

2. A, B。not a little相当于very,not a bit 意为“一点也不”。

3. B, C, D。第一句whoever相当于anyone who;第二句who引导宾语从句;第三句选B的话,相当于no matter who,引导状语从句。

4. D, B。would rather直接接动词的话,应用动词原形,如接从句则应用虚拟语气。

5. A, D。第一句有连词and,是祈使句;第二句hard后是逗号,所以用现在分词作状语。

6. A, A, A。第一句 it 是形式主语,第二句as引导的是定语从句,第三句 what 引导的是主语从句。

7. A, C。第一句关键词是but和 is;第二句关键词是and和后面的are。neither,两者都不;either,两者之一;both,两者都;all,三者或三者以上都。

8. A, B。第一句无连词,所以用定语从句;第二句有连词and,所以用代词 it。it和which都指代前面那句话。

9. C, A。第一句有连词,所以用句子;第二句无连词,所以用分词。

10. D, C。第一句look forward是“向前看”的意思 ,不定式to表目的;第二句look forward to是“盼望”的意思,to是介词。

11. D, C。第一句help表“帮助”,所以加to,to也可以省掉;第二句can’t help doing 是“情不自禁干某事”的意思。

12. C, A。第一句无连词,故用现在分词完成式的被动式;第二句有连词,所以是主从复合句。

13. D, C。第一句逗号后面是短语,不是句子,故用its,第二句逗号后面是句子,故用定语从句,whose指“房子的”,如果第二句用its的话,则两句话之间无连词。

14. A, C, B。used to 意为“过去常常干某事”,其中to是不定式;be used to意为“习惯于干某事”,其中to是介词,另外,它也可表示“被用于做某事”,此时to是不定式符号。

15. A, C。do sb. a favor帮某人一个忙,但后接不定式时,一般用do sb. the favor。

16. D, C。第一句有himself,只有seat才能和它搭配;第二句是现在分词作状语,如seat单独用且表“坐”的意思时,只能用seated形式表状态。

17. A, B。两句话都是主语从句,第一句意思完整,故用that;第二句表示“是否”,主语从句位于句首表示“是否”时应用whether。

18. C, A。第一句make sb done 意为“使某人被……”;第二句意为使某人做某事,故用make sb do sth。

19. A, C, B。be worth doing sth. 无被动形式;be worthy to be done sth. 或be worthy of being done sth.,都是指“值得干某事”。

20. C, A, B, D。比较:lie-lied-lied(说谎);lie-lay-lain(位于;躺);lay-laid-laid (放,搁;产蛋)。
