【答案解析】

1. D. 考查“祈使句/名词+and+陈述句”句型。句意为：“再努力点，你就会成功的”。

2. B. so(因此)是并列连词，引出一个表示结果的分句，前面应是一个表示原因的分句，而无需再用连词，排除A；C和D又不是句子，也错了。

3. D. 因为rather than是对称连词，意为“而不” (from www.hxen.net)。

4. A. 因为but是并列连词，后面是个句子，前面也一定是个句子，而不是一个分词短语或不定式短语，更不能再用连词though，所以排除B、C和D。

5. C. 考查“祈使句+and+陈述句”句型，意为“如果…就…”。虽然or也可用于此句型，但or是“否则、要不然”之意，如：Work hard, or you’ll fail. (努力学习，否则就会不及格。)

6. D. 因为not only…but (also)…是固定搭配(from www.hxen.net)。

7. D. 因为句中的并列连词for表示原因，是对前面分句所述内容的解释或补充说明。

8. A. 因为句中的并列连词while表示“对比或相反”。

9. B. 因为句中的并列连词when = just at that time, 意为“这时(突然)”。

10. D. 因为只有or才能表示选择，意为“(是…) 还是”。

 

 

 

11. C。本题考查what引导主语从句，并在主语从句中作主语。句意为“在许多国家，所谓的“公立学校”并非公众拥有。

12. B。本题考查引导主语从句的连接词。that引导主语从句只起连接作用，在从句中不作任何成分，无意义，但不能省略。what除引导主语从句外, 还在从句中作成分。which指一定范围内的“哪一个”；whether意为“是否”。根据句意“世上的事喜忧交替”可知答案为B(from www.hxen.net)。

13. D。该题考查宾语从句。可以看作是does it matter which book it was的省略。一定注意此题受母语干扰，很容易错选答案为A。只要抓住题干前一句I read about this story in some book or other的提示，就可知道是指一定范围内的“哪一个”，故答案为D。

14. D。that引导同位语从句；what the book said是同位语从句中的主语。

15. A。本题考查以after引导的时间状语从句，意为“在…之后”。句意为“步行了六小时后，我累坏了”。

16. C。even if=even though,引导的让步状语从句，意为“即使, 尽管”，符合题意。

17. D。本题考查before引导的时间状语从句，意为“在……之前”。句意为“他来不及冲进去救他的孩子，屋顶就塌了”。

18. C。When it comes to. . . 是一固定句型，意为“当谈到……时，涉及”。句意为“做作业是提高考分的一个可靠方法，这在涉及到课堂测验时尤其正确” (from www.hxen.net)。

19. B。该题考查where引导的地点状语从句，表示“在…地方”。句意为“我一直把照片放在我每天都能看到的地方，因为它总使我回想起大学里的日子”。

20. B。so long as=so long as, 意为“只要”，表示条件。句意为“只要你答应归还，你就可以把这书借走”。

21. D。本题考查as引导的时间状语从句，表示事物的进展，意为“随着”。句意为“那人年纪越来越大，除了园艺外其他都不感兴趣”。

22. A。once引导的让步状语从句，意为“一旦”。句意为“一旦明白了这条规则，就再也没有困难了”。

23. B。no sooner…than意为“刚…就”，相当于as soon as. 句意为“我刚走回厨房,门铃又响了,响得足以把死人吵醒”。类似用法还有hardly / scarcely…when.。

24. A。本题考查because引导的原因状语从句及与for的区别。for不能跟not...but这一结构连用，句意为“我批评他不是因为我恨他而是因为我爱他”。

25. C。unless引导的条件状语从句。句意为“他如果不努力学习, 就永远不能考及格”。

 

 

 

26. B。so that引导目的状语从句。句意为“她拼命干一边能在他回来时把一切都准备好”。

27. D。until引导的时间状语从句。句意为“他一直等到火山平息下来,两天后他才得以重回火山上”。

28. C。此题很容易错选B。误认为是not…until句型。实际上只要抓住your work is being done. 这一提示就找到了答题的关键。

29. D。本题考查until引导的时间状语从句，意为“到. . . 为止, 在. . . 以前”。

30. A。名词短语the moment用作连词，相当于as soon as,引导时间状语从句。 意为“一……就”。类似的短语或词还有the minute, the instance, directly, immediately等。
