单项填空
1.It never occurred to me ______ you could succeed in persuading him to change his mind.
A.which B.what
C.that D.if
解析 考查固定句型。It occurs/occurred to sb.that...是固定句型，意思是：某人突然想起……，其中that引导主语从句，故选C项。
答案 C
2.When you get the paper back，pay special attention to what ______.
A.have marked B.have been marked
C.had marked D.had been marked
解析 句意：当你拿回试卷时须特别注意已经标注过的部分。本题考查动词的时态，该句强调过去已经修改过的东西并强调对现在的影响，用现在完成时，又因其主语为what，所以用被动语态。故用现在完成时的被动语态。
答案 B
3.A teacher should make his lessons simple enough for the students to ______.
A.take off B.take up
C.take in D.take down
解析 考查词组辨析。句意：老师应该使他的课足够简单到让学生理解。take off起飞，成功;take up从事;take in吸收;take down记下。
答案 C
4.When she visited the children’s home，it ______her that she could adopt a homeless child.
A.ran into B.happened to
C.occurred to D.was occurred to
解析 考查动词短语辨析。此处为句型It occurs to sb.that...某人突然想起……。A项表示“偶然感到”，不合句意。happen to sb.表示“某事发生在某人身上”，不合语境，故排除B项;occur不用于被动语态，故D项被排除。
答案 C
5.The ______ cause of his illness was extreme drinking，but the real cause was his deep sadness on his wife’s death.
A.major B.apparent
C.clear D.serious
解析 句意：他的病表面上是因为过度饮酒，真实的原因是他妻子的去世使他过度悲伤。故选apparent“表面上的”。major意为“主要的”;clear意为“清楚的”;serious意为“严肃的，认真的”。
答案 B
6.There’s a camping shop in town that has tents for ______ at $10 a week.
A.hire B.sale
C.employ D.repair
解析 句意：镇上有一家宿营设备商店出租帐篷，价格一周10美元。根据“$10 a week”可知这是租用，不是sale出售;employ指“雇用”，跟人作宾语。
答案 A
7.The bell rang，______ that class was over.
A.to indicate B.indicating
C.indicated D.having indicating
解析 indicate“表示，表明”。句意：铃响了，表示下课了。

答案 A
12.With a nod of his head，he ______ me where I should sit.
A.indicated to B.indicated that
C.indicate to D.indicate that
解析 indicate that后跟从句，不合题意。indicate to此处为“向某人暗示，向某人表明”。时态应用过去时或一般现在时，但C项没用单数。
答案 A
13.It’s believed that parks are to the city______lungs are to the body.
A.what B.like
C.that D.which
解析 考查名词性从句的引导词。what引导从句，不能用like，因为like是介词。句意：大家公认，公园之于城市，就像两肺之于人体。

答案 D
15.It suddenly ______ to the detective that the millionaire was probably murdered by his own daughter.
A.happened B.occurred
