　　A. her mother … when B. to her mother why … that

　　C. her mother that … when D. to her mother that … when

 

　　答案及解析：

 

　　1. D。非谓语动词做状语，其逻辑主语是句中主语。The hidden meaning不能执行read的动作，所以排除A、B;C项属于动名词独立主格结构，在句中做主语。故答案为D。

 

　　2. A。and连接两个名词表示“一副，一双，一套等或一个人兼两个职务”，即用一个冠词或物主代词限定两个名词做主语，谓语用单数形式。故答案为A。

 

　　3. D。explain/ announce等后面的结构是～ sth. to sb. 或～ to sb. sth.，to 不可省略。第二个空白处应填when，表示“正当……的时候”。故答案为D。

　　3. _____ he was ill, I was expected to take his place greatly surprised me for I didn’t have much working experience.

 

　　A. If B. That if C. That D. If that

 

　　参考答案及解析：

 

　　1. D。I don’t expect so. = I expect not. 能这样使用的动词还有believe, think和 suppose;而在hope等动词后，否定形式只有 I hope not. 不能说 I don’t hope so. 故答案为D。

 

　　2. C。how to 要连在一起使用，故排除A。only加状语提到主句前面时，主句中主语和谓语用部分倒装。故答案C。

 

　　3. B。that引导的是主语从句，而 if 从句是that主语从句中的条件状语。故答案为B。

　　3. Why are you always making the same mistake? Think of _____ I told you.

 

　　A. that B. when C. how D. what

 

　　答案及解析：

 

　　1. A。not wanting 等于who do not want. 故答案为A。

 

　　2. C。many a merry night= a great many /plenty of merry nights . many a 虽然表示复数意义，但后面跟单数名词。故答案为C。

 

　　3. D。of后面是介词宾语从句，需要连词且在从句中做 tell 的直接宾语;所以用 what， that 在名词性从句中补充当成分，没有实在意义。而B、C连接副词，在从句中只做状语。故答案为D。
