9.—Was it because of his short-sightedness ________ he was turned down by the company?
—No, it was because of his poor performance.
答案：that 解析：考查强调句型。句意：——因为近视他才被这家公司拒绝的吗?——不是，因为他表现得不好。分析句子结构可知，问句为强调句的一般疑问句形式，because of his short-sightedness为被强调部分，所以此处应用that。
10.Unless ________(ask) to answer questions, the pupils won't talk in Mrs Smith's class.
答案：asked 解析：考查省略。句意：除非被提问，否则同学们在史密斯夫人的课堂上从不讲话。由于主从句的主语一致，且从句含有be动词，故此处省略了主语和be动词。又因the pupils与动词ask之间为被动关系，故此处用过去分词asked。从句补充完整为：Unless they are asked to answer questions.
11.Jack opened the door; there ________ he had never seen before.(a woman stood, stood a woman)
答案：stood a woman 解析：考查倒装。句意：杰克打开门，门口站着一位他以前从未见过的女士。there位于句首，而且主语是名词，所以此处用完全倒装结构。
12.Do you have any idea that ________ that makes The Voice of China so popular?
答案：what it is 解析：考查强调句型。句意：你知道是什么让《中国好声音》如此受欢迎吗?分析句子结构可知，______ that makes The Voice of China so popular是强调句型的特殊疑问句形式，由于作idea的同位语，所以要用陈述语序;根据句意可知，疑问词应用what，意为“什么”。故填what it is。
13.As is shown in the movie, under no circumstances ________ faith and confidence.(you should lose, should you lose)
答案：should you lose 解析：考查倒装。句意：正如在电影中所展示的那样，在任何情况下你都不应该失去信念和自信。当under no circumstances, in no way, by no means等表示否定意义的词组置于句首时，句子需用部分倒装结构，即把助动词/情态动词/be动词置于主语之前。

答案：One more talk with Tom 解析：考查固定句式。句意：跟汤姆再谈谈，我相信你会发现他很能干。分析句子结构及四个选项可知，本句是“名词词组+and+陈述句”结构，该结构是由“祈使句+and+陈述句”转换而来的。
15.(2014·南京高三模考)Never for one moment, believe it or not, ________ I imagined being faced with such a situation where a helping hand was greatly needed.
答案：had 解析：考查倒装和时态。根据前面的Never可知，此处应该用部分倒装结构;再根据后面的was可知，此处应用过去完成时，表示在过去的某一动作之前已完成的动作。因此填had。
