Ⅰ.單項填空
1. After Mo yan won the Nobel Prize in Literature, many people visited him to find out ______ it was that made him successful.
A. when B. what
C. why D. how
答案 B
解析 考查強調句型。動詞短語find out后接賓語從句,而且這個賓語從句是強調句型的疑問句形式,意為“到底是什么讓他成功”。根據(jù)句意,從句中疑問詞用what,在從句中作主語。
2. David is going to focus on the geography of the Diaoyu Islands, but we’d rather he ______ mo re about its history.
A. talks B. talked
C. would talk D. had talked
答案 B
解析 考查虛擬語句。句意:大衛(wèi)將重點講述釣魚島的地理,但是我們寧愿他多談談它的歷史。would rather后接賓語從句時, 從句中應用虛擬語氣。根據(jù)is going to可知,此處表示與將來事實相反,從句應用一般過去時,故選B。
