1.Tom told us all that________he said at the meeting was really true.
A.that B.all
C.what D.which
C 解析:考查主语从句。句意:汤姆告诉我们所有的人,在会议上他所说的确实是真的。这里的all和us是同位语,作主句的宾语,that引导的是宾语从句,宾语从句中的谓语是was really true,前面是主语从句,主语从句用what引导,在句中作said的宾语。所以选C。
2.The calm captain knew there was an engine fault but didn’t want to ______ the passengers.
A.cheat B.decline
C.interrupt D.alarm
D 解析:考查动词辨析。句意:镇静的船长知道发动机出问题了,但是他不想惊吓到乘客。 cheat “欺骗”; decline “下降”; interrupt “打扰”; alarm “警告;使惊恐”。因此选择D。
3.—He thinks that girls are smarter than boys when it comes to learning English.
—But two years ago he thought ________.
A.so B.otherwise
C.opposite D.different
B 解析:考查形容词、副词辨析。句意:——当说到学英语的时候,他认为女孩比男孩聪明。——但是,两年前他不这么认为。 B项otherwise用作副词相当于“differently”。 A项so是肯定意思, C项和D项是形容词,不能直接修饰thought。
