1．In the past, the respect for teachers was driven by the belief ________ they were reliable sources of knowledge.
A．which B．what
C．that D．when
答案与解析：C根据句子结构可知，后面的从句是对belief的内容进行说明的，作其同位语，从句中不缺少成分，故用that引导。

2．The scientists haven't found the evidence ________ human beings came from the space.
A．which B．that
C．what D．who
答案与解析：B that在本句中引导同位语从句，说明evidence的具体内容。

A．whichever B．however
C．whenever D．whatever
答案与解析：D句意：实际上，我们自己应该对生活中所发生的一切负责，这一想法在我的脑海中存在了很久。

本句中介词for后面为宾语从句，从句缺少主语，表示“无论什么事情”，故用whatever引导。

本句中缺少范围，故排除A项。

4．—What shall we do tonight then?
—It's up to you—________ you want.
A．whichever B．however
C．whatever D．whenever
答案与解析：C whatever表示“无论什么，不管什么”，引导主语从句并在从句中充

C．that D．if
答案与解析：A答句句意：我不认识她。

她的名字听着很熟，但我想不起来在哪儿听过。

A、B、C三个选项中只有where可在宾语从句中作地点状语，if不符合语意。

7．It seemed to me that she was in doubt ________ Mahoney lived or died.
A．that B．how
C．why D．whether
答案与解析：D根据句意及空格后面的or可知，此题应选择D。

句意：在我看来她拿不准Mahoney是死是活。

whether...or...意思是“是……还是……”，为常用结构，此处whether 引导同位语从句，解释doubt的内容。

8．________ was unknown to us, he always said, was how the teacher knew the secret.
A．It B．What
C．That D．As
答案与解析：B本句中he always said是插入语，句子主干中包括了主语从句“________ was unknown to us”，从句中又缺少主语，故用what。

A．what; that B．that; what
C．/; that D．that; /
答案与解析：C句意：卫生部发言人说，12名甲流疑似病例被检验为阴性，到目前为止这个城市还没有病例上报。

10．He waited for ________ seemed like an hour before he finally got the ticket.
A．what B．which
C．that D．it

A．That B．It
C．Which D．What
答案与解析：D句意：最令我诧异的是那个在事故中失去双臂的男孩能用脚写字。

主语从句缺少主语，所以用what引导。

that在从句中不作成分；it不能引导从句；which表示选择。

13．The textbook is filled with cases about ________ our life has developed thanks to new inventions.
A．what B．where
C．why D．how
答案与解析：D句意：课本中有很多生活是如何因为新发明而得到改善的例子。

A．which B．if
C．that D．what
答案与解析：C句意：——怀特太太看上去比实际年龄大。

——是的。

她的头发逐渐变白这件事让她很担心。

it是形式主语，that引导的从句是真正的主语，that引导主语从句，不在从句中作成分。

which“哪一个”；if“是否”；what引导主语从句时要在从句中作主语、宾语、表语等。

15．The reason ________ she gave for not being present was ________ the heavy snow prevented her coming.
A．why; because B．why; whether
C．that; that D．how; that
答案与解析：C句意：她解释自己缺席的原因是因为大雪她没法来这里。

reason后是一个定语从句，从句缺少宾语，故第一空用that引导；was后的表语从句不缺少句子成分，且reason作主语，故第二空也用that引导。

Ⅱ.阅读理解
A
Joanne was stuck in a traffic jam in central Birmingham at 530，and at 630 she was expected to be chairing a meeting of the tennis club. At last, the traffic was moving. She swung quickly racing to her house. As she opened the door, she nearly tripped over Sheba.
“Hey，Sheba，” she said, “I've got no time for you now, but I'll take you out as soon as I get back from the tennis club.” Then she noticed Sheba seemed to be coughing or choking. Obviously, she could hardly breathe. Immediately, Joanne realized she would have to take her to
the vet (兽医)．
When she got there, the vet was just about to close for the day. Seeing the state of Sheba, Dr. Sterne brought her quickly into his office.
“Listen, doctor, I'm really in a rush to get to a meeting, can I leave her with you，and go to get changed? I'll be back in ten minutes to pick her up, and then I'll take her on to the meeting with me. Is that OK？”
“Sure.” said the doctor.
Joanne made the quick trip back to her house in a couple of minutes. As she was once more entering the hallway, the phone by the door began to ring.
“This is Dr. Sterne，” said an anxious voice. “I want you to get out of that house immediately，” said the doctor's voice. “I'm coming round to right away, and the police will be there any time now. Wait outside！”
At that moment, a police car screeched to a stop outside the house. Two policemen got out and ran into the house. Joanne was by now completely confused and very frightened. Then the doctor arrived.
“Where's Sheba? Is she OK？” shouted Joanne.
“She's fine，Joanne. I took out the thing which was choking her，and she's OK now.”
Just then, the two policemen reappeared from the house, carrying a white-faced man, who could hardly walk. There was blood all over him.
“My God，”said Joanne, “how did he get in there? And how did you know he was there？”
“I think he must be a burglar.” said the doctor. “I knew he was there because when I finally removed what was stuck in Sheba's throat, it turned out to be three human fingers.”
16. What was Joanne supposed to do at 6:30?
A. To walk her dog.
B. To see her doctor.
C. To attend a club meeting.
D. To play tennis with her friends.
17. Joanne wanted to get back to her home again ________.
A. to dress up for the meeting
B. to phone the police station
C. to catch the badly hurt burglar
D. to wait for her dog to be cured
18. From the passage, we can infer that ________.
A. Sheba fought against the burglar
B. the police found the burglar had broken in
C. Joanne had planned to take her dog to the meeting
D. the doctor performed a difficult operation on the dog
19. In this passage, the writer intends to tell us that the dog is ________.
A. clever
B. friendly
C. frightening
D. devoted
答案与解析：
忠诚的Sheba为保护主人的财产勇斗歹徒，聪明的兽医发现端倪……
16．C细节理解题。

由文中第一段的第一句话可知，Joanne 630要参加一个会议。

17．A细节理解题。

由第四段中Joanne的话and go to get changed可知，Joanne想回家换衣服。

18．A推理判断题。

由文章最后一段医生的陈述可以看出，Sheba和强盗进行了搏斗，因为它的喉咙里有小偷的断指，并且大夫也是从这一点上判断出强盗在Joanne的屋里。

19．D推理判断题。

文章通过这个故事告诉我们，Sheba为了保护主人的财产和小偷进行了殊死的搏斗，咬掉了小偷的三根手指。

由此可推断这只狗很忠诚。

B
Everyone knows the smart black-and-white dog that sits on top of a red doghouse with his best friend—a bird called Woodstock.
Created by the American cartoonist Charles Schulz in 1950, the clever dog is loved by generations of kids and adults. He speaks more than 20 languages and appears daily in 26,000
newspapers around the world.
When Snoopy first appeared, he was not different from other pet dogs. But two years later, he had begun to speak with simple words and sounds. By 1957 he could walk on two legs and was going to school with his master, Charlie Brown, who failed in just about everything. Later he learned to use the typewriter.
Snoopy has done lots of jobs. He has been a bow-tie wearing lawyer, a tennis player, an Olympic figure skater, a world famous grocery checkout clerk, a pilot and even the first astronaut on the moon.
However, Snoopy has always dreamed of being a famous writer. The beginning of his story is always, “It was a dark and stormy night...”Unfortunately for him no one has ever wanted to publish the story.
In love, Snoopy is as much of a failure as Charlie Brown is at baseball. He easily falls in love but always has his heart broken. He eats to forget, but it never works.
Snoopy is an insightful (富有洞察力的), feel-good and sometimes sad dog. If you think a little about his words, you might find them full of life lessons. Among his most famous lines are “To live is to dance, to dance is to live.”and “Yesterday I was a dog. Today I'm a dog. Tomorrow I'll probably still be a dog. Sigh! There's so little hope for advancement”．
20. Snoopy has done all the following jobs EXCEPT ________.
A. a lawyer
B. a player
C. a clerk
D. a writer
21. From the passage, we can learn that ________.
A. Snoopy is always a sad dog
B. Snoopy can not speak in the beginning
C. Snoopy often dreams of true love
D. Snoopy is a real smart pet dog
22. It can be inferred that Snoopy ________.
A. has many bird friends and relatives
B. is a well-known writer and clerk
C. has been unfortunate since it was born
D. is very popular in the whole world
23. The underlined word “advancement” probably means ________.
A. success
B. progress
C. growth
D. popularity
答案与解析：
史努比(Snoopy)是美国卡通作家Charles Schulz创作出来的经典动漫形象。

它是一只性格外向的小狗，也是世界上最纯真、聪明的狗狗，它的漫画形象早已风靡世界。

20．D细节理解题。

文章第四段中谈到Snoopy曾做过律师、网球手、职员等；第五段中的“However, Snoopy has always dreamed of being a famous writer.”表明当作家一直是Snoopy的梦想，但未曾实现。

21．B细节理解题。

由文章第三段中的“When Snoopy first appeared, he was not different from other pet dogs. But two years later, he had begun to speak with simple words and sounds.”可知史努比(Snoopy)最初不会讲话。

22．D推理判断题。

由文章第二段内容可知，史努比(Snoopy)风靡世界，很受欢迎。

23．B词义猜测题。

文中最后一段中的内容“Yesterday I was a dog. Today I'm a dog. Tomorrow I'll probably still be a dog.”表明advancement意思为“进展，促进，改进”，与选项B(progress)意义相近。
