21、hey haveB.Whether they will haveC.If will they haveD.If they will have答案:B主语从句。我们是否会进行这次旅行还没有决定。whether引导的是主语从句，主语从句中主语和谓语的顺序不颠倒。if虽然也表示“是否”，但它不能引导主语从句。问题:3. English words are not always spelt _.A.as the way they soundB.the way that they soundC.the way they soundD.they sound答案:C定语从句。英语单词并不总是像它们发音那样拼

22、写。The way后面可以用定语从句来修饰，但不需要关系代词或关系副词。问题:4. _ they change the coach they will lose the match.A.UntilB.BeforeC.UnlessD.Although答案:C状语从句。如果他们不换教练就会输掉比赛。unless表示“除非，如果不”，引导条件状语从句，其他选项不合题意。问题:5.

26、词是the only one，所以动词用单数。又如：He is one of the students who have finished the task in time。问题:10.

30、er children well(take) _ care of in the nursery.答案:taken过去分词。看到她的孩子们在托儿所被照顾得很好，她非常高兴。take care of与宾语children之间为动宾关系，所以用过去分词作宾语补足语。问题:7. The(deep) _ of the river which runs through our village is over 15 feet.答案:depth词性转换(形容词变名词)。流过我们村子的河的深度为15英尺。根据句子结构可以看出空格中需要一个名词做主语，deep的名词为depth，意为“深度”。问题:8. The

31、potatoes were(taste) _ without salt.答案:tasteless词性转换(名词变形容词)。没有放盐，所以土豆没有滋味。根据句子结构可以看出空格中需要一个形容词作表语。注意：taste有两个形容词，一个是tasteful，表示举止高雅的；另一个是tasteless，表示无味的。根据句意，这里应该是tasteless。问题:9. He is a( professionally) _ ambulance driver who has to work as a plumber (铅管工人) to make ends meet.答案:professional词性转换(副词

32、变形容词)。他是一个职业救护车司机，却不得不做管子工以使收支平衡。根据句子结构可以看出空格中需要一个形容词作定语，professionally的形容词为professional，意为“职业的，专业的”。问题:10.
