dwhichever答案：a本题题意：她说：“我想成为一个多面手的艺人。我想表演、拍电影、出专辑，做我能做的一切事情。”本题考查宾语从句。动词do后的宾语从句中，i can 承前省略了do，可以判断出宾语从句中缺少宾语，需要连接代词引导宾语从句，排除that. whatever相当于anything that, 在宾语从句中担任宾语，同时具有连接主句和从句的作用。注意：which表示“从一定范围内进行选择”，此处为“泛指概念”， 不合题意。2(原创)he helped to keep us in touch with_was going on there.awhat bthat cwhich dwhichever答案：a本题题意：他帮助我们了解那儿的情况。what表示“(the thing or things that.)的事物”。that在名词性从句中，只具有连接功能，在从句中不担任句子成分。3(原创)yes, thats_i am calling about. we do not receive page three of the fax.ahow bwhatcwhich dwhere答案：b本题题意：是的，我就是为了这件事才打电话来。 我们没有收到传真的第三页。what表示“(

d/答案：c本题题意：在任何情况下，我们相信他能把事情做好。本题考查动词doubt后接宾语从句的用法。当doubt采用否定结构时，其后的宾语从句通常采用that引导，当采用肯定句式时，则采用whether/if引导。例如： i doubt whether hell come. 我不敢肯定他来不来。7(原创)the problem is_we are to make good sales.awhen

had my chinese mba students brainstorming on “twohour business plans.”i separated them into six groups and give them an example: a restaurant chain. the more original their idea, the better, i said. finally, five of the six groups presented plans for restaurant chains. the sixth proposed a catering(餐饮)service. though i admitted the time limit had been difficult, i expressed my disappointment.my students were middle managers, financial analysts and financiers from stateowned enterprises(国有企业)and global companies. they were not without talent or opinions, but they had been shaped by an educational system that rarely stressed or rewarded critical thinking or inventiveness. the scene i just described came in different forms during my two years teaching at the school. papers were often copied from the web and the harvard business review. case study debates were written up and just memorized. students frequently said that copying is a superior business strategy, better than inventing and creating.in china, every product you can imagine has been made and sold. but so few welldeveloped marketing and management minds have been raised that it will be a long time before most people in the world can name a chinese brand.with this problem in mind, partnerships with institutions like yale and mit have been established. and then theres the“thousandtalent scheme”： this new government program is intended to improve technological modernization by attracting top foreigntrained scientists to the mainland with big money. but there are worries about chinas research environment. its hardly known for producing independent thinking and openness, and even big salary offers may not be attractive enough to overcome this.at last, for china, becoming a major world creator is not just about setting up partnerships with top western universities. nor is it about gathering a group of welleducated people and telling them to think creatively. its about establishing a rich learning environment for young minds. its not that simple.文章大意：这是一篇教育类夹叙夹议文，讲述了作者通过教学发现教育中存在的问题。1why does the author feel disappointed at his students?abecause there is one group presenting a catering service.bbecause the six groups made projects for restaurant topic.cbecause all the students copied a case for the difficult topic.dbecause the students ideas were lacking in creativeness.答案：d推理判断题。根据第一段和第二段的信息可知，“我”对学生们缺乏创新意识和批判性思维感到很失望。2which of the following scenes is not considered as lack of creation?apapers were often downloaded from the internet.bstudents often said that copying is a preferable business strate
