【答案】C
【解析】
试题分析：考查定语从句。

句意：这是我过去工作过的工厂，那里的许多工人和我扔保持好的关系。

这里factory是先行词，the last修饰先行词，可知第一空用that引导定语从句，因为在定语从句中做介词at的宾语，也可以省略；第二空先行词是factory，which在从句中作介词的宾语，引导非限制性定语从句，故选C。

【名师点评】本题难度适中。

定语从句的考查关键在于定语从句的成分分析，如果缺少主语，宾语，表语，定语就使用关系代词，否则，就使用关系副词。

本题主要考查对复杂句子的分析及语义的理解。

【即学即练】A successful life is a life ______ challenges are met and difficulties overcome.
A.which
B.where
C.that
D.what
解析：B。

后面从句中缺少状语，先行词是life,故选B项。

非限制性定语从句。

你可以看到，many之前是逗号而没有用连词连接。

那么which作为先行词使用，如果many前面有and连接就要用it
考点：考查定语从句
【结束】
27.【题文】Jane is the only one of the students who ________ a little Chinese and is one of my friends who ________ studying in China now.
A. know; have
B. knows; has
C. knows; are
D. know; is
【答案】C
【解析】
试题分析：考查定语从句。

此句包含了两个定语从句，关系代词都在从句中作主语。

关系代词的单复数应与定语从句的先行词的单复数保持一致。

第一个从句的先行词是the only one of the teachers，指唯一的老师，从句谓语动词应用单数形式。

第二个定语从句先行词是my friends，表示的是复数概念，所以从句谓语用复数，因此答案为C项。

考点：考查定语从句
【结束】
28.【题文】— Where did the professor made the speech yesterday?
— It was in the hall ________ the students often have a meeting ________ the professor made the speech yesterday.
A. that; which
B. where; that
C. that; when
D. where; when
【答案】B
【解析】
试题分析：考查强调句式和定语从句。

纵观全局它是一个强调句：昨天教授是在大厅里做的演讲。

可知第二空填that；强调部分包含一个定语从句where the students often have a meeting，用以修饰其前的名词 the hall，句意为“是在学生们经常开会的那个大厅(找到教授的)”，可知第一空填where。

故选B。

【学法指导】
强调句型
1.在英语中，我们常用It is/was… who/that结构来突出强调句子的某一成分(一般是句子中主语，宾语或状语)。

在这个句型中，it没有词汇意义，只是引出被强调的成分。

如果被强调的成分是表示人的词，用who或that来连接都可以。

如果是其它成分，则一律用that来连接。

It is my mother who/that cooks every day.是我的妈妈每天做饭；It was yesterday that Tom passed in the maths exam.是昨天汤姆通过了数学考试。

2.被强调部分既包括人又包括物，用that不用who。

lt was the things and people that they remembered that they were talking about.
3.区分定语从句和强调句型某些定语从句和强调句型形式差不多，容易混淆。

如果去掉it is/was ...that句子仍然通顺成立，则为强调句型，不成立不通顺，则为定语从句。

It was three years ago that he went to American for a further study去掉It was that句子为Three years ago he went to America for a further study.句子通顺，意思完整，那么，这就是一个强调句型。

考点：考查强调句式和定语从句

29. 【题文】A number of children ________ parents had died in the quake were sent to live with families in other cities.
A. who
B. whom
C. that
D. whose
【答案】D
【解析】

Children做先行词，在后面的定语从句中作定语，故选D。

考点：考查定语从句
30.【题文】 Anyone ________ has a dog as a pet will tell you ________ a dog means t o a family.
A. who; what
B. who; why
C. which; what
D. which; why
【答案】A
【解析】
试题分析：考查定语从句和宾语从句。

Anyone做先行词，不定代词，指人，后面是定语从句，从句缺少引导词和主语，可知第一空填who；tell后面是宾语从句，从句缺少引导词，从句缺宾语，此引导词要其双重作用，可知第二空填what。

故选A。

考点：考查定语从句和宾语从句
【结束】
31. 【题文】The growing speed of a plant is influenced by a number of factors, ________
are beyond our control.
A. most of them
B. most of which
C. most of what
D. most of that
【答案】B
【解析】
试题分析：考查对句子结构及定语从句的理解和应用。

根据句子结构——逗号前面为一个完整的句子，后面只能是从属成分，从而排除选项A；逗号后面为非限制性定语从句，关系代词不能用what或that，因此答案选B。

若横线前有and则选A。

【知识拓展】
I have two sons, and both of them are doctors.这是一个并列句；I have two sons，both of whom are doctors.这是一个非限制性定语从句。

句意：我有两个儿子，他们都是医生。

考点：考查对句子结构及定语从句的理解和应用

句意：今天，森林几乎都消失了。

必须制止人们砍伐太多的树木。

Stop sb from doing sth阻止人们做某事，其被动形式为be stopped from doing sth，所以选D。

【知识拓展】
keep sb from doing sth./stop sb.( from )doing sth./prevent sb. (from) doing sth.阻止某人做某事。

变成被动语态时from都不能省略。

He stopped me (from) going there.I was stopped (from) going there
考点：考查被动语态和固定搭配

33.【题文】—Why was Professor Smith unhappy recently?
—Because the theory he stuck to ________ wrong.
A. proves
B. was proved
C. proved
D. proving
【答案】C
【解析】
试题分析：考查动词时态和语态。

prove意思是“证明是”即使用“prove (to be) + 名词/形容词等”结构时,它是系动词,和后面的成分构成系表结构,等同于turn out.而系动词是不能用于被动语态的.根据句意用一般过去时态，故选C。

考点：考查动词时态和语态
【结束】
34.【题文】The conflict had developed into a stage ________ the two countries were
gathering big troops on the border.
A. where
B. which

stage意思是某事物/某人的发展、成长或进步的程度、时期或阶段:句意:冲突已经发展到了两国在边境集结军队的程度.stage原意,舞台;这里做引申义.所以引导词就是where.

I used to hate being called upon in class mainly because I didn’t like attention drawn to myself. And 36 otherwise assigned (指定) a seat by the teacher, I always 37 to sit at the back of the classroom.
All this 38 after I joined a sports team. It began when a teacher suggested
I try out for the basketball team. At first I thought it was a crazy 39 because
I didn’t have a good sense of balance, nor did I have the 40 to keep pace (
跟上) with the others on the team and they would make fun of me. But for the teacher
w h o k e p t i n s i s t i n g o n m y“4 1 for it”, I wouldn’t have decided to give a try.
Getting up the courage to go to the tryouts was only the 42 of it! When I first started 43 the practice sessions, I didn’t even know the rules of the game, much 44 what I was doing. Sometimes I’d get 45 and take a shot
at the wrong direction — which made me feel really stupid. 46 , I wasn’t the only one “new” at the game, so I decided to 47 on learning the game, do my best at each practice session, and not be too hard on myself for the things I didn’t
48 “just yet”.
I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the 49 and the “moves”. Being part
of a team was fun and motivating. Very soon the competitive 50 in me was winning over my lack of confidence. With time, I learned how to play and made friends in the 51 — friends who respect my efforts to work hard and be a team player. I never had so much fun!
With my 52 self-confidence comes more praise from teachers and classmates.
I have gone from 53 in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself, 54 raising my hand — even when I somet imes wasn’t and not 100 percent 55 I had the right answer. Now I have more self-confidence in myself.

Along with nine other children the parents of whom were also famous scholars, Irene studied in their own school, and her mother was one of the teachers. She finished her high school education at the College of Sévigné in Paris.
Irene entered the University of Paris in 1914 to prepare for a degree in mathematics and physics. When World War I began, Irene went to help her mother, who was using X-ray facilities (设备) to help save the lives of wounded soldiers. Irene continued the work by developing X-ray facilities in military hospitals in France and Belgium. Her service s were recognised in the form of a Military’s Medal by the
French government.
In 1918, Irene became her mother’s assistant at the Curie Institute. In December 1924, Frederic Joliot joined the Institute, and Irene taught him the techniques required for his work.

【题文】If Confucius (孔子) were still alive today and could celebrate his September
28 birthday with a big cake, there would be a lot of candles. He’d need a fan or
a strong wind to help him put them out.
While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought. It’s nothing personal. Most Americans don’t even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.
But this doesn’t mean that Americans don’t care about Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.
In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually included Chinese art, history and philosophy (哲学). Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantage of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Westerners philosophy. Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers.
So the old thinker’s ideas are still alive and well.
Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.
As for the old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is.

【题文】American researchers found females are the more talkative sex because of a special “language protein” in the brain.

The research, published in the Journal of Neuroscience, found that higher levels were found among humans that were women but in rats that were males. Their findings came after it was previously claimed that ladies speak about 20,000 words a day —over 13,000 more than men. “This study is one of the first to report a sex difference in the expression of a language-associated protein in humans or animals,” said Prof Margaret McCarthy, who led the study.
