A.what B.which
C.that D.where
答案:A 考查名詞性從句。句意為:經(jīng)過一天筋疲力盡的攀爬,我們終于到了那個被稱為“空中花園”的地方。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知,at為介詞,后面是一個賓語從句,we had been told為插入語,賓語從句中缺主語,故用what。故答案選A。
20.I couldn't imagine ________ difficult it was for these badly injured victims to make it to the hospital.
A.when B.how

A.that B.which
C.what D.it
答案:C 考查名詞性從句。句意:中國的改革開放現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)進行了大約三十年,效果非常明顯。________ is like about 30 years now是介詞for的賓語,該部分缺少主語,所以選起雙重作用的what。

A.whom B.who
C.whomever D.whoever
答案:D。句意:每個人都喜歡和可靠且容易相處的人在一起工作?疾橘e語從句。賓語從句中缺主語且意為“無論是誰”,故選whoever。易錯選B、C。沒有意識到語境中的“無論是誰”的含義而誤選who;只注意到了所選賓語從句的引導詞作介詞with的賓語需用賓格形式,沒有注意到此處為“兼語”,即既作前面介詞with的賓語,同時又作后面賓語從句的主語,此時需用主格形式而誤選C
