Module6 Old and New 例题解析

(1)

I.单项填空

【例1】Is this the reason　　　at the meeting for his carelessness in his work？

A.he explained　　　　　　　　               B.what he explained

C.how he explained                                       D.why he explained

解析：本题是在语境中考查定语从句中关系词的选用问题。首先将题干疑问句变为陈述句，便很容易得知the reason为先行词，后面是一个定语从句。分析句子结构可知，the reason在定语从句中作动词的宾语，故用that或which引导，而不用why；又因关系代词充当宾语时可以省略，故选A。

答案：A

【例2】All of the flowers now raised here have developed from those　　　in the forest.

A.once they grew                                          B.they grew once

C.thatonce grew                                     D.once grew

解析：此题的考查对象是定语从句。先行词为those （flowers），引导词为that且在从句中作主语，其他选项均不符合题意。

答案：C

【例3】The suspect（嫌疑犯）　　　 refused to answer and kept his mouth shut.

A.questioning                                                 B.being questioned

C.question                                                     D.to be questioned

解析：选项B是现在分词的被动形式表示动作正在进行，用作定语，相当于定语从句who was being questioned。

答案：B

Ⅱ.单句改错

【例1】This book can provide you all the information you need.

解析：provide sth. for sb. 或provide sb. with sth.表示“向某人提供某物”。
