真題測試測試語言點：定語從句
Language is a city, ____ to the building of every human being brought a stone. (1994年1月CEIH第51題)
A. Which B. that C. it D. this
答案：選A
分析：根據(jù)句子結(jié)構(gòu)分析，本題缺少的是一個引導定語從句的關(guān)系詞，首先排除C、D 兩項;由于題目中定語從句是非限定性的，而且關(guān)系詞前有介詞of，故不能用that。
翻譯：語言就像一座城市，對它的建筑每個人都曾添磚加瓦。
2. Mr. Thompson is going to sell it because it is haunted.
湯普森先生之所以想賣它，是因為那里常鬧鬼。
真題測試測試語言點：be going to 表示將來
— _____ leave at the end of this month.
—I don't think you should do that until_____ another job. (2006年高考北京卷，第27題)
A: I'm going to; you'd found
B: I'm going to; you'll find
C: I'll; you'll find
D: I'll; you'd find
答案：選B
分析：根據(jù)第一句話給出的時間提示at the end of this month可以得出說話雙方談論的并非是發(fā)生過的事情，由此排除A和D。如果主句動作是將來時態(tài)，until引導的時間狀語從句不用將來時態(tài)，所以排除C。
翻譯：一我打算月底就離開。
一我認為你沒找到另一份工作前不應該那么做。
3. He told me that he could not go to sleep one night because he heard a strange noisecoining from the bar.
他告訴我有天夜里他怎么也睡不著，因為他聽到酒吧里傳來一陣奇怪的響聲。
真題測試 測試語言點：because引導的原因狀語從句
Parents should take seriously their children's requests for sunglasses eye protection _____ isnecessary in sunny weather. (2004年高考上海卷，第39題)
A. because B. though C. unless D. if
答案：選A
分析：根據(jù)兩個分句句意“父母對孩子要太陽鏡的要求應該重視”和“在陽光充足的日子里對眼睛的保護是必要的”，可知它們之間是因果關(guān)系，以及選項中四個詞的含義，很容易選出A; because表原因，而though表示轉(zhuǎn)折，unless和if都表示條件。
翻譯：父母對孩子要太陽鏡的要求應該重視，因為在陽光充足的日子里對眼睛的保護是必要的。
