23. Only take such clothes _______ really necessary. (1994)
A. as were B. as they are C. as they were D. as are
D ，as 引导定语从句，先行词是clothes ，as 在从句中作主语，所以BC 不对，因为they 是多余的；A 的时态与主句不搭配。
24. ______ is often the case with a new idea, much preliminary activity and optimistic discussion produced no
concrete proposals. (1994)
A. That B. It C. This D. As
D ，as 作关系代词，引导非限定性定语从句，表达整个主句的意思。“正如一种新的观念产生时一样，人们总是做许多准备活动和积极的讨论，却拿不出具体的建议。”

A. where I like to visit most B. I’d most like to visit
C. which I like to visit mostly D. where I’d like most to visit
B, 首先排除A ，因为the city 在从句中作宾语，不能用where 引导；C 中mostly 表示“通常，大部分”，意思不通顺；表示“最想”，用most like,不是like most, most是much 的最高级，much 一般不修饰不定式，多用于修饰分词。He was much pleased.
28. She remembered several occasions in the past ___ she had experienced a similar feeling. (98)
A. which B. before C. that D. when
D ，从句有自己的主语和宾语，因此不选AC ，when 引导定语从句在句中作时间状语。B 项不合语法，因为主句的时态是一般过去时，从句却是过去完成时。
29. I’ve never been to Lhasa, but that’s the city ______. (1999)

名 词 性 从 句
33. We can assign the task to ______ is capable and trustworthy. (1994)
A. whomever B. who C. whom D. whoever
D ，介词to 后面是个宾语从句，从句缺主语；whom 和whomever 虽然可以接宾语从句，但它们不能在从句中作主语，AC 不对；whoever 语义比who 强烈，更贴切。
34. The team can handle whatever _____. (1997)
A. that needs handling B. which needs handling
C. it needs handling D. needs to be handled
D ，whatever 引导的分句作handle 的宾语，又在从句中作主语，因此不需要再加任何其他主语，ABC 都有多余的主语成分。
35. After __ seemed an endless wait, it was her turn to enter the personnel manager’s office. (99)
A. that B. there C. what D. it
C ，after 在句中时介词还是连词？如果是连词，从句中的时态通常为完成体，所以排除连词的可能性。既然after 是介词，那么后面必定是宾语从句，后面的从句缺主语，只有what 既引导宾语从句，又在宾语从句中作主语；BD 都不能引导宾语从句。A 虽然可以引导宾语从句，但不在从句中充当任何语法成分。
36. Have you ever been in a situation _____ you know the other person is right yet you cannot agree with him?

37. ____ is not a serious disadvantage in life. (2001)
A. To be not tall B. Not to be tall C . Being not tall D. Not being tall
D ．AC 不对是因为动词不定式和动名词的否定结构形式应为not to do, not doing；B 动词不定式短语作主语通常表示特定的具体的行为，特别是表示将来的或一次性的行为，To skate on real ice is his dream. D动名词作主语表示抽象一般的概念。Skating on real ice is great fun.
38. This may have preserved the elephant from being wiped out as well as other animals _____ in Africa.
(1996)
A. hunted B. hunting C. that hunted D. are hunted
A ，完整结构应为：the elephant from being wiped out as well as other animals (from being) hunted in Africa;“此举也许既能保护非洲的其他动物不被猎杀，又能使大象免受灭族之灾”
39. The Clarks haven’t decided yet which hotel ______. (1998)

(1995) A. throwing B. being thrown C. having thrown D. having been thrown B ，see 可与现在分词或不定式连用，平行结构，后面用了现在分词，这里也用分词；绳梯是被扔出飞机，因此要用被动结构，排除AC ；see, watch, hear, feel, notice, observe,等词一般不跟分词的完成形式连用。 Professor Johnson is said ____ some significant advance in his research in the past year. (99) A. having made B. making C. to have made D. to make C ，主语补足语的动作在谓语动词之前发生，用完成时。 AIDS is said _____ the number-one killer of both men and women over the past few years in that region.

(1994) A. Not received B. Since receiving C. Having received D. Not having received D ，receive 的主语是she ，因此应是主动，A 不对；receive 的动作在主句谓语动词之前发生，所以要用分词的完成形式，否定应是not having done. ’t seem so gloomy.

23. Only take such clothes _______ really necessary. (1994)
A. as were B. as they are C. as they were D. as are
D ，as 引导定语从句，先行词是clothes ，as 在从句中作主语，所以BC 不对，因为they 是多余的；A 的时态与主句不搭配。
24. ______ is often the case with a new idea, much preliminary activity and optimistic discussion produced no
concrete proposals. (1994)
A. That B. It C. This D. As
D ，as 作关系代词，引导非限定性定语从句，表达整个主句的意思。“正如一种新的观念产生时一样，人们总是做许多准备活动和积极的讨论，却拿不出具体的建议。”

27. I have never been to London, but that is the city ______. (1997)
A. where I like to visit most B. I’d most like to visit
C. which I like to visit mostly D. where I’d like most to visit
B, 首先排除A ，因为the city 在从句中作宾语，不能用where 引导；C 中mostly 表示“通常，大部分”，意思不通顺；表示“最想”，用most like,不是like most, most是much 的最高级，much 一般不修饰不定式，多用于修饰分词。He was much pleased.
28. She remembered several occasions in the past ___ she had experienced a similar feeling. (98)
A. which B. before C. that D. when
D ，从句有自己的主语和宾语，因此不选AC ，when 引导定语从句在句中作时间状语。B 项不合语法，因为主句的时态是一般过去时，从句却是过去完成时。
29. I’ve never been to Lhasa, but that’s the city ______. (1999)

名 词 性 从 句
33. We can assign the task to ______ is capable and trustworthy. (1994)
A. whomever B. who C. whom D. whoever
D ，介词to 后面是个宾语从句，从句缺主语；whom 和whomever 虽然可以接宾语从句，但它们不能在从句中作主语，AC 不对；whoever 语义比who 强烈，更贴切。
34. The team can handle whatever _____. (1997)
A. that needs handling B. which needs handling
C. it needs handling D. needs to be handled
D ，whatever 引导的分句作handle 的宾语，又在从句中作主语，因此不需要再加任何其他主语，ABC 都有多余的主语成分。
35. After __ seemed an endless wait, it was her turn to enter the personnel manager’s office. (99)
A. that B. there C. what D. it
C ，after 在句中时介词还是连词？如果是连词，从句中的时态通常为完成体，所以排除连词的可能性。既然after 是介词，那么后面必定是宾语从句，后面的从句缺主语，只有what 既引导宾语从句，又在宾语从句中作主语；BD 都不能引导宾语从句。A 虽然可以引导宾语从句，但不在从句中充当任何语法成分。

37. ____ is not a serious disadvantage in life. (2001)
A. To be not tall B. Not to be tall C . Being not tall D. Not being tall
D ．AC 不对是因为动词不定式和动名词的否定结构形式应为not to do, not doing；B 动词不定式短语作主语通常表示特定的具体的行为，特别是表示将来的或一次性的行为，To skate on real ice is his dream. D动名词作主语表示抽象一般的概念。Skating on real ice is great fun.
38. This may have preserved the elephant from being wiped out as well as other animals _____ in Africa.
(1996)

(1994) A. Not received B. Since receiving C. Having received D. Not having received D ，receive 的主语是she ，因此应是主动，A 不对；receive 的动作在主句谓语动词之前发生，所以要用分词的完成形式，否定应是not having done. ’t seem so gloomy.
