六、in that结构
在表示“原因”概念的引导词中, because of +名词, consequently是副词 而“in that”是原因状语的引导词。
例1 :Mercury differs from other industrial metals ___ it is a liquid.
(A) whereas (B) in that (C) because of (D) consequently
分析:空格前后都是完整的句子,空格处显然缺从句引导词。C、D不能引导从句,可以首先排除。根据题意,两个句子之间是因果关系而不是对比关系,故选(B)。in that为复合连词,用来引导原因状语从句。
例2 :Hovercraft, or air-cushion vehicles, are unusual ___travel over land and water on a layer of air.
(A)they (B)in they (C)that they (D)in that they
分析:空格处缺从句引导词和从句主语。A和B缺从句引导词,首先被排除。C一般作宾语从句或定语从句,而句中需要的是状语从句,故也排除。D中in that为连词,引导表原因的状语从句,符合题意(气垫船之所以不同,是因为……),故选(D)
这里我们再重申一下,如果选项中出现“介词+which”或者“in that”,那么首先考虑这个选项,如果后面使用的是完整的句子结构,那么这个选项就一定是答案。这种题目平时出现的不多,但是要考的话一定就是重点。
例3 :Emily Dickinson's garden was a place___great inspiration for her poems.
(A) that she drew (B) by drawing her (C) from which she drew (D) drawn from which
分析:首先看选项C, “介词+which”, 而后面是she drew great inspiration for her poems.是一个完整句子,那么选项(C)就是答案。
七、what 结构
what结构在95.8以后的新题interwetten与威廉的赔率体系 的非常多,记住一点: what=the thing that
例1 :The chief foods eaten in any country depend largely on___best in its climate and soil.
(A) it grows (B) what grows (C) does it grow (D) what does it grow
分析:空格前有depend on这个短语,四个选项都是句子,故可判断出空格处为宾语从句。A和C没有从句引导词,故排除,(D)的语序有问题,从句不能用特殊疑问句的倒装形式,故(B)正确。
例2 :During the eighteenth century, Little Turtle was chief of the Miami tribe whose territory became___is now Indiana and Ohio.
(A) there (B) where (C) that (D) what
分析:空格处缺的词既要引导从句又要作从句主语。四个选项中只有(D)符合条件。
