1. ______ Barbara Jones offers to her fans is honesty and happiness.
A.Which

D.Whom
答案: B考查名词性从句中的主语从句。句意为:芭芭拉·琼斯提供给她的狂热仰慕者的是诚实和快乐。offer sth. to sb. 给某人提供某物,由此可知从句offer后面缺少宾语,应用what来作宾语并引导从句,故选B。
2. The shocking news mad me realize ______ terrible problems we would face.
A.what
B.how
C.that
D.why
答案: A考查宾语从句。句意为:这令人震惊的消息使我意识到我们会面临着多么可怕的问题。宾语从句为感叹句:“what(+a/an)+形容词+名词+主语谓语”结构。
3. There is clear evidence ______ the most difficult feeling of all to interpret is bodily pain.
A.what
B.if
C.how
D.that
答案: D考查同位语从句和引导词。句意为:有清晰的证据证明最难诠释的感情是身体上的疼痛。分析句子结构可知the most difficult feeling of all to interpret is bodily pain作evidence的同位语,因此引导词要用that,that在同位语从句中不作成分,但不能省略,故选D。
4. The message you intend to convey through words may be the exact opposite of ______ others
actually understand.
A.why
B.that
C.which
D.what
答案: D考查名词性从句。句意为:你想用言语表达的信息或许与其他人实际上理解的内容恰恰相反。why引导定语从句或宾语从句;that引导宾语从句、同位语从句、表语从句、定语从句或主语从句,但在主语从句中不作成分;which引导定语从句或宾语从句;what引导名词性从句,在从句中作主语或宾语,可以理解为“……的人、事物等”,由句意可知选D。
5. I am afraid he’s more of a talker than a doer, which is ______ he never finishes anything.
A.that

D.which
答案: D考查名词性从句。句意为:我们已经为她提供了这份工作,但我不知道她是否会接受。选项中whether引导宾语从句表示是否,where表示地点,what往往在名词性从句中指“……的人或物”,which表示“哪一个”。
7. The villagers have already known ______ we’ll do is to rebuild the bridge.
A.this
B.that

A.that
B.how
C.when
D.why
答案: D考查主语从句,句意为:这个人为什么没有尽快报告这个事故,还不清楚。根据句意可知主语从句中缺少原因状语,故用why。that引导主语从句不作句子成分,how作方式状语,when作时间状语。
9. His writing is so confusing that it’s difficult to make out ______ it is he is trying
to express.
A.that
B.how
C.who
