答案与解析
1. 选D。

what made matters worse 是主语从句(注意其后有谓语动词was)，相当于the thing that made matters worse。

2. 选A。

what 引导的是表语从句，相当于the thing that it takes to do anything well。

3. 选C。

that 引导的是一个主语从句，句首的it为形式主语。

4. 选C。

答句为省略句，其完整形式为I was trying to prove to the police where I was last night，在此where 引导的是一个宾语从句。

类似地，下面选C：
“_______ made her struggle to become an artist so hard?” “______ she was a woman.”
A. What, What
B. That, That
C. What, That
D. That, What
5. 选D。

what 引导的是表语从句，what 在此相当于the things that。

6. 选C。

句首的it 是形式主语，空格处所填词用于引导主语从句。

由于该主语从句中又缺主语，故排除A、B、D。

(注意：不能选A，因为that 引导名词性从句时不能充当句子成分)
7. 选A。

第一空填what，是因为该主语从句中的动词understand 缺宾语;why 和because 均可引导表语从句，其区别是：why 引导表语从句强调结果，because 引导表语从句强调原因。

句中空格后文表明的是结果，故用why。

8. B。

what 在此引导主语从句且在从句作宾语，它相当于the thing that。

9. B。

两空均填what，均用于引导宾语从句，因为两个宾语从句中的动词said 和do 均缺宾语，而在各个选项中只有what 可用作宾语。

10. 选A。

what 引导宾语从句。

由于动词wants 缺宾语，所以填what。

句意是：当你找工作面试回答问题时，请记住这条黄金定律：永远给予对方确实想要的东西。

11. 选A。

I can to save them 为I can do to save them 之略，此句中的do 缺宾语，故选whatever。

12. 选B。

that 在此引导主语从句，无词义，也不充当句子成分。

注意不要根据中文意思选D，因为because 不用于引导主语从句。

13. 选C。

两个空格处均为引导宾语从句的引导词，而四个选项中两者可引导宾语从句的只有C。

14. 选B。

比较That’s why… 与That’s because…：前者用于强调结果，后者用于强调原因。

如下面一题选D：
I got wet all through. _______ I had neither a raincoat nor an umbrella.
A. It’s the reason
B. That’s why
C. There’s why
D. That’s because
15. 选D。

由is worth praising 这一谓语可知前面是主语从句，排除不能引导从句的B 项和C 项;whoever 引导主语从句表示“任何……的人”，在此它相当于anyone who。

16. 选A。

how 引导主语从句，that 引导同位语从句。
