11. Lessons can be learned to face the future, history cannot be changed.
A. though
B. as
C. since
D. unless
A 句意:虽然历史不能被改变,但是可以学习经验来面对未来。本题考查状语从句。though虽然,尽管,引导让步状语从句;as当……时候,引导时间状语从句;since意为“既然”时,引导原因状语从句,意为“自从……以来”时,引导时间状语从句;unless除非,如果不,引导条件状语从句。主从句为让步关系,故选A项。状语从句不同于名词性从句和定语从句,在解答名词性从句和定语从句相关考题时,考生一定要判断句子成分,而在解答状语从句相关考题时,考生应注重分析主、从句之间的逻辑关系。
12. In the global economy, a new drug for cancer, it is discovered, will create many economic possibilities
around the world.
A. whatever
B. whoever
C. wherever
D. whichever
C 句意:在全球经济中,一种治疗癌症的新药,无论是在哪里被发现,都将会在全球创造很多经济机会。本题考查状语从句。设空处在状语从句中作地点状语,选择wherever,引导让步状语从句,相当于no matter where,故选C项。让步状语从句一般在主句之前或之后,但是本题命题者有意把从句置于主句中间,这无疑会迷惑考生,增加了考题的难度。考生在解题时可以把它调整为自己熟悉的结构。
13. The president of the World Bank says he has a passion for China, he remembers starting as early as his childhood.
A. where
B. which
C. what
D. when
答案 B 句意:世界银行主席说他非常喜欢中国,他记得这种喜爱之情始于他的儿童时代。本题考查定语从句。根据句子结构可知,此处引导非限制性定语从句,关系代词在定语从句中指代先行词a passion,并在定语从句中作remembers的宾语;where和when是关系副词,在定语从句中作状语;what不引导定语从句。故选B项。本题的重点是判断句子结构,确定从句类型。一旦确定它是定语从句,就可以侧重分析从句,判断从句缺少什么句子成分,这也是我们解决从句类考题的基本方法。
