A. other, another B. others, another C. others, the other D. the others, others 【陷阱】几个干扰项均有可能误选。
【分析】最佳答案选B。but others another 为 but others say another 之省略。在并列句中,若后面分句与前面分句有相同的词,常把后一分句中的相同部分给省略掉,以避免重复。如:
One soldier was killed and another wounded. 有一名士兵被打死,另一名被打伤。(wounded 前省略了 was)
I work in a factory and my brother on a farm. 我在工厂工作,我弟弟在农场工作。(on a farm 前省略了 works)

1. 选B,it 指前面提到的情况。由于句中用了并列连词 but,所以不能选C。当然,若去掉空格前的but,则可选C。
第 8 页 共 10 页
3. 选B,因是 both teams,即谈论的是两者,因此可锁定A和B;从语境上看,应选B,即双方都不愿输。
3. 选B。即两空均填 what,第一个what 相当于 something that;第二个what 相当于the thing that。
4. 选C,what 在句中用作动词 read 的宾语。 5. 选A,what 相当于 something that。
6. 选C,但容易误选A。按英语习惯,受 such 修饰的名词后跟定语从句时,引导定语从句的关系词一般只能是 as,而不能是 that, which, who, where等。如:Such women as knew him thought he was charming. 认识他的女人都认为他很有魅力。此句中的 as 就不能换成that 或 who,若要使用 that 或who,则需将 such 换掉,如说成Those women who knew Tom thought he was charming.
7. 选C,句意为“教室几乎是空的,大家都到哪里去了?”
8. 选B,nothing 指“什么也没有”;none 指数量上的“一点(个)也没有”。注:回答 how much 和 how many 时要用 none,而不用 nothing,道理同此。
9. 选C,what worries me 为主语从句,且 what 在主语从句中用作主语。 10. 选B。从句意推知。
11. 选B 最佳,因 who后通常不接表示范围的 of 短语,故不宜选C;若选A,则句型不对;若选D,则语义不通。
12. 选D,what 相当于 the amount that。 13. 选 A,one 在此相当于a friend。
14. 选C,I like nothing better 相当于 It’s the best thing I like。
15. 选D。else 可放在 who, what, where, how, why 等疑问词之后,但习惯上不放在which之后,而且在一般情况下也不用在whose后,遇此情况可用 who else’s,如:
Who else’s fault could it be? 这会是其他什么人的错吗? 但是,若其后不修饰名词,有时也可用whose else。如: Whose else could it be? 这会是其他什么人的吗?
16. 选C。其余三者均不能引导主语从句。whoever 在此相当于 anyone who。
17. 选C。whoever shares her interests用作介词of的宾语,同时whoever又用作谓语动词shares的语。
18. 选B。由于句中谈到的是 Mr and Mrs Smith,即谈的是两者,故排除选项A和C,因为 none 和all 均用于指三者。又因为空格前有否定介词without,故空格处填either, 不用 neither。
19. 选D。none 可视为 I like none of them 之省略。从下文的语境看,空格处只能填空一个表否定意义的词。据此首先排除B;虽然A、C、D均表否定意义,但neither 与前面的best(既然使用最高级,说明有三者或多者在作比较)不吻合;而 nothing 表示“什么也没有”,不合语境。
20. 选 C。none 和 neither 表否定,与句中的 refused to acept这一语境不符。在 either 与 any 两个选项中,either 指两者,与句中的 three suggestions 不符。故只能选 any,指三者中的任意一个。
21. 选 A。比较四个选项:either 指两者中的“任意一个”,each 指两者或两者以上中的“每一个”,one 用来替代“a / an +单数可数名词”,it 替代“the +单数名词”。
22. 选 B。根据下文的 it’s all the same to me(对我都一样)可知,选 any 最合语境。

23. 选 D。Why me? 可视为 Why do you ask me to go and join? 之省略。另外,me 还通常在简略回答中用作主语。如:Me too.(我也一样。)
