历年(最近15年200余套)高考英语语法题详解（2010上海卷）

36. One reason for her preference for city life is ________ she can have easy access to places like shops and restaurants. (2010上海卷)

A. that                   B. how                   C. what                  D. why

【答案】A。

【考点】考查名词性从句的用法。

【解析】The [Our, One, etc] reason for…is that…是英语中的常用句型，其中的that引导表语从句，意为“……的原因是……”。又如：The reason for my lateness is that I missed my bus. 我迟到的原因是我误了车。

37. When changing lanes, a driver should use his turning signal to let other drivers know ________. (2010上海卷)

A. he is entering which lane            B. which lane he is entering

C. is he entering which lane           D. which lane is he entering

【答案】B。

【考点】考查名词性的用法。

【解析】which在此引导宾语从句，而which作为宾语从句的“引导词”（即连接代词）必须置于宾语从句之首，故可排除A和C；另外，由于宾语从句必须使用陈述句词序，故可排除D而选B。

38. Wind power is an ancient source of energy ________ we may return in the near future. (2010上海卷)

A. on which         B. by which          C. to which           D. from which

【答案】C。

【考点】考查定语从句的用法。

【解析】此题涉及“介词+which”引导的定语从句，根据return to这一搭配可知，答案为C（即介词to与return构成搭配）。句子大意为：风能是一种古老的能源，在不久的将来我们可能会重回到过去使用风能的情形。

39. ________our manager objects to Tom’s joining the club, we shall accept him as a member. (2010上海卷)

A. Until                 B. Unless              C. If                        D. After

【答案】B。

【考点】考查状语从句的用法。

【解析】根据we shall accept him as a member（我们将接纳他为会员）可知，空格处所填之词应含有否定含义，这样与object to（反对）连在一起才能使句意通顺。

40. That is the only way we can imagine ________ the overuse of water in students’ bathrooms. (2010上海卷)

A. reducing          B. to reduce          C. reduced            D. reduce

【答案】B(http://www.hxen.net/)。

【考点】考查非谓语动词的用法。

【解析】不定式在此用作定语，修饰the only way。其实，the only way还有两个定语，一个是we can imagine，另一个是to reduce the overuse of water…。类似的用法如：The only way she thought of to get enough money was to sell her hair. 她想到的弄到足够钱的唯一办法就是把自己的头发卖掉。
