1.The greatest gifts in life are not purchased, but _____ through hard work and determination.
A. acquired B. arranged C. adored D. allocated
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意:生活中最珍贵的礼物不是买来的,而是通过努力和决心获得的。A. acquired获得;B. arranged安排;C. adored喜欢;D. allocated分配。连词but(但是)表转折,可以推断生活中最珍贵的礼物是通过努力和决心获得的,动词acquired(获得)符合句意,故选A。
2.______ the path of a county is the right one is a matter to be decided by its people.
A. That B. What C. Whether D. Why
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查主语从句。句意:一个县城的道路是否是正确的路,由它的人民决定。分析句子可知, “______ the path of a county is the right one”是名词性从句中的主语从句,不缺成分,但缺少意思“是否”,whether/if(是否)符合句意,因为引导主语从句只能用whether,故选C。
【点睛】名词性从句,从属连接词选用的基本原则:
缺主语时用:who/what/which
缺宾语时用:who/whom/what/which
缺定语时用:what/which/whose
缺状语时用:when/where/why/how
不缺成分用:that/whether/if(that没有意思;whether/if翻译成“是否”,引导主语从句只能用whether)
例如本题,句意:一个县城的道路是否是正确的路,由它的人民决定。分析句子可知, “______ the path of a county is the right one”是名词性从句中的主语从句,不缺成分,但缺少意思“是否”,whether/if(是否)符合句意,因为引导主语从句只能用whether,故选C。
