4.Creatinganatmosphere

employeesfeelpartofateamisabigchallenge.A.as

B.whose

C.inwhich

D.atwhich参考答案：C试题分析：句意：创造一种雇员感觉自己是团队一员的氛围是一个极大的挑战。这是一个定语从句，intheatmosphere“在氛围中”是一个固定搭配。此处也可以是where。分析句子结构和结合四个选项，知道这里面所需要填的是连词。空格之前是一个名词，这种情况首先考虑的是定语从句。然后分析之后的句子具备完整的结构（有主句employees和宾语partofateam），所以这应该是需要一个连词，如where、when、why。由于when用于时间，why用于原因，所以应使用where，但答案没有这个选项。根据介词+which=where及intheatmosphere是固定搭配，可得出答案。考点：考查定语从句介词加which的用法。34.Wedon’tdoubt______nowadayspeopletendtoleadalow-carbonlife.
