9. (2015·安庆模拟)Greatly ________ , Jane made up her mind to work at her lessons even harder.
A. inspiring B. inspired
C. having inspired D. to inspire
【解析】选B。考查非谓语动词。句意: 受到很大的鼓舞, 简下决心要更加努力学习功课。inspire与Jane之间是动宾关系, 故用过去分词作状语。
10. The girl living in a small village desires that she ________ to work in the western area.
A. send B. is sent
C. be sent D. should send
【解析】选C。desire后的宾语从句中应使用虚拟语气, 即(should+)动词原形; 由语境可知, she是send的承受者, 故应用被动语态, 选C。
11. —She got her first science fiction published. It turned out to be ________ .
—When was that?
—It was in 2009 ________ she was still in college.
A. success; that B. a success; when
C. success; when D. a success; that
【解析】选B。第一空a success表示“一件成功的事情”; 第二空when引导定语从句, 此处易误解为是强调句中的that, 其实本句的确是强调句型, 但that及其后面的部分被省略了, 完整句子应该是“It was in 2009 when she was still in college that she got her first science fiction published. ”。
12. (2015·杭州模拟) ________ at the airport, he telephoned his wife and told her what he would do when he got home.
A. Once arrived B. As soon as he reached
C. When he got D. On arriving
【解析】选D。考查状语用法。句意: 一到机场, 他就打电话给妻子告诉她到家后他要做的事情。on是介词, 可与名词或动名词连用, 表示“一……就……”。A项“arrive”与逻辑主语“he”之间为主动关系, 应用现在分词形式。B项中reached是及物动词, 后直接接宾语; C项中的get后接介词to, 故均可排除。
13. By the time he was 14 years old, he ________ himself advanced mathematics.
A. had taught B. taught
C. has taught D. was teaching
【解析】选A。考查动词时态。句意: 到他14岁时, 他已经自学了高等数学。by the time后面接过去时间, 主句用过去完成时。
14. This term several optional courses are provided, and we are free to choose ________ we are interested in.
A. whatever B. whicheverC. whenever D. wherever
【解析】选B。考查名词性从句。句意: 这学期提供好几门选修课程, 我们可以任意选择感兴趣的一门。choose后为宾语从句, 宾语从句缺宾语, 排除C项和D项。结合题干several optional courses, 有范围限定, 故选择whichever。
【加固训练】
________ is left over may be put into the refrigerator to keep for a longer time.
A. Whenever B. Whichever
C. Whatever D. Wherever
【解析】选C。考查名词性从句。句意: 剩下的任何东西都可以放入冰箱, 在那里可以保存时间长一些。whichever“无论哪一个”和whatever“无论什么”都可以在名词性从句中作主语或宾语, 一定要注意它们之间的区别: whichever是表示从已给出的里面选择任意一个; whatever表示“任何东西, 无论什么东西”, 前面没有范围。所以如果有范围用whichever; 没有范围, 用whatever。故选C。15. It was ________ she failed the exam ________ she realized how important it is that one should study with full attention.
A. not until; that
B. not until; which
C. not until; what
D. until; when
【解析】选A。考查强调句。句意: 直到她在考试中失败了, 她才意识到集中注意力去学习是多么重要。not. . . until. . . 句型的强调结构为“It is/was not until. . . that. . . ”。
【加固训练】
It was not until they came to the very spot ________ how serious the situation was.
A. did they realize B. that they realized
C. when they realized D. where did they realize
【解析】选B。考查not until在强调句型中的应用。句意: 他们直到到达现场才意识到形势有多严峻。not until引导时间状语从句用在强调句型中时不需要倒装, 故答案选B。
