25、an Culture课时作业(三十六).15CCDAC.6.B考查表语从句。下句意为：这正是我们应该互相帮助的地方。where引导表语从句，其他选项不合题意。7A考查表语从句。where引导表语从句，表示那就是她们的错误所在。8C考查宾语从句。本题中的动词miss后接了一个宾语从句，又由于动词call后需要接双宾语，故选用what在该宾语从句中充当宾语从句中动词call的宾语。9B考查表语从句。从句子结构看，该词需要引导表语从句并充当该表语从句中be动词的表语，所以用what。what在此相当于the house that。10D考查形容词辨析。句意：他已经67岁了，看起来不可能在那个职位上待

26、很长时间了。A、B选项用于Its impossible/important/necessary/unusual that句型，that从句常用should动词原形，而非would动词原形。C项不符合题意，故选D。11D考查交际用语。根据Ours is much stronger than theirs可知By no means表示“绝不可能、决不会”符合语境。而Of course表示“当然可以”；It depends表示“看情况而定”；Dont mention it表示“不用谢”，均不符合语境，故排除。12. C考查主语从句。句意：我从来没有想到你能成功说服他改变主意。It occurs to

27、 sb. that意为：某人突然想到，其中that引导主语从句，it是形式主语，代替that从句的具体内容。13B考查倒装和动词的时态。否定副词nowhere位于句首，句子使用倒装结构。从句意看，并没有强调完成的意思，所以也不用完成时态。14A考查动词辨析。句意：正如我记得有人所说的：晚上红色的天空预示着第二天晴空万里。所以选indicate “预示”。impress “给人印象”；obtain “获得”；confirm “确认；确定”。15C考查冠词用法。第一空the bicycle表示类别。第二空是泛指，表示“一种运输方式”。16D考查副词辨析。句中的but表示的是转折意义，由此可知援助与

28、我们预期的相差甚远，表示的是否定含义，所以用nowhere。17B考查apply短语的用法。apply to sb.for sth.向某人申请某物。句意：要去美国旅行，你要首先向美国大使馆申请签证。18C考查动词辨析和动词的语态。hire表示“雇用”；fire表示“解雇”；dismiss表示“开除”。由语态关系可知，答案选C。句意：据说三个月前受雇的女校长将很快被解雇。19B考查定语从句。因为此处关系词代替先行词在定语从句中作宾语，故只能用that，which或省略。20C考查介词短语by means of的用法。by means of用；以；依靠。根据上文句意，听话人是通过勤奋才在英语方面很
