历年(最近15年200余套)高考英语语法题详解（2006江苏卷）

29. The owner of the cinema needed to make a lot of improvements and employ more people to keep it running, _______ meant spending tens of thousands of pounds. (2006江苏卷)

A. who                  B. that                    C. as                      D. which

【答案】D。

【考点】考查定语从句。

【解析】which在此引导非限制性定语从句。注意不能选B，因为that不用于引导非限制性定语从句; 也不能选A，因为who只用于人; 也不能选C，因为as引导非限制性定语从句时，它若用作从句的主语，则其谓语动词通常只能是连系动词。

30. Whenever he was asked why he was late for class, he would answer carelessly, always _______ the same thing. (2006江苏卷)

A. saying              B. said                   C. to say                D. having said

【答案】A。

【考点】考查非谓语动词。

【解析】用现在分词表示补充说明——对answer carelessly的补充说明。

31. _______ environmental damage is done, it takes many years for the ecosystem (2006生态系统) to recover. (2006江苏卷)

A. Even if             B. If only                C. While                D. Once

【答案】D。

【考点】考查状语从句。

【解析】比较四个选项，只有D填入空格意思最通顺。once意为“一旦”，又如：Once you began you couldn’t stop. 你一旦开始就停不下来了。Once you let him start talking, there was no stopping him. 一旦让他开始讲话，就没法止住他。

32. — There is a story here in the paper about a 110-year-old man.

— My goodness! I can’t imagine _______ that old. (2006江苏卷)

A. to be                 B. to have been   C. being                D. having been

【答案】C。

【考点】考查非谓语动词用法。

【解析】动词imagine后接动词时要用动名词，不用不定式，故可排除A和B; 另外，由于此处谈的是现在的情况，即现在有110岁，故用一般式，不用完成式。

33. I wish you’d do _______ talking and some more work. Thus things will become better. (2006江苏卷)

A. a bit less          B. any less            C. much more      D. a little more

【答案】A。

【考点】考查形容词与副词用法。

【解析】根据句意可知，空格处应填一个与some more意思相反的词组，故答案只能选A。

34. A poet and artist _______ coming to speak to us about Chinese literature and painting tomorrow afternoon. (2006江苏卷)

A. is                       B. are                     C. was                   D. were

【答案】A。

【考点】考查动词时态和主谓一致。

【解析】根据句中的tomorrow afternoon可排除C和D；又因为a poet and artist只用了一个冠词，说明指的是一个人，即“一位诗人兼艺术家”，故其后谓语动词要用单数，即答案选A。句意为：一位诗人兼艺术家明天下午要来给我们讲中国文学和绘画。

35. We haven’t settled the question of _______ it is necessary for him to study abroad. (2006江苏卷)

A. if                        B. where                C. whether            D. that

【考点】考查名词性从句。

【解析】根据句意，空格处应填一个表示“是否”的词，但在A和C两个表示“是否”的选项中，if不能用于介词后，故选C。
