  • 第4题:

    As large numbers of Chinese flocked to Japan to pay thousands for toilet seats, it was a surprise to many people ____________ the smart toilet lids on sale in Japan were actually made in China.

    A.whether
    B.how
    C.which
    D.that

    答案:D
    解析:
    考查引导主语从句的连接词。句意为“大量的中国人涌入日本,花费数千元购买马桶座圈,令许多人吃惊的是日本出售的智能马桶盖实际上是中国制造”。主语从句可以前置,也可以后置。有时为了使句子结构保持平衡,避免头重脚轻,常用it作形式主语,而把主语从句放在主句谓语部分之后。其结构是:It is/was+名词+从句。该句子中陈述客观情况的主语从句是完整的陈述句,引导词本身不充当任何句子成分,有这样用法的引导词只能是that.只起连接作用,本身无实际意义。故选D。

    A:unacceptable

    C:disgusting
    D:courageous

    答案:A
    解析:
    成千上万的人无家可归,可是这些楼却空无一人,这真让人难以接受。 unacceptable“令人难以接受”,例如:If a thing is not done to perfection , it is unacceptable.做得不完美的事是无法接受的。unreasonable“不合情理”,例如:This price is unreasonable at all.这个价钱一点也不合理。disgusting“令人厌恶和恶心的”,例如:There is a disgusting smell near the ditch.水沟附近味道很难闻。courageous“勇敢的”,例如:It was courageous of him to oppose his chief.他敢反对他的上司,真是勇敢。只有unacceptable意思上和outrageous最接近。
