16.正确答案:C
答案解析:该题考查连词在宾语从句中的用法。观察题干Mr. Hall understands是主句,其后有that引导的宾语从句,可将该句简化为: ______ maths has always been easy for him, it is not easy for the students.分析简化后的句子可知, maths has always been easy for him与it is not easy for the students之间含有转折关系,其他选项不合题干逻辑。故答案为C.
17.正确答案:A
答案解析:这是一个宾语从句,wants后面缺少宾语,Always give the monkey exactly what he wants是一句谚语,意思是“永远给予他人他确实想要的东西”。故答案为A.
18.正确答案:D
答案解析:it在句中作形式主语,that引导的从句是真正的主语。
19.正确答案:B
答案解析:由题意可知被猜测的时间是现在,有客观事实根据I saw her in the town a few minutes ago,猜测语气要求最强,所以正确选项是B(can‘t是must的否定式)。
20.正确答案:B
答案解析:当shall用于一、三人称疑问句中时,表示征求对方意见。本题答案为B.
