othervisitorsseldomgo．A．whatB．whichC．whereD．when答案：C解析：此题考查的是where引导非限制性定语从句。先行词places在从句中逻辑上充当go的状语，所以用关系副词where。what不能引导定语从句；先行词在从句中作主语和宾语时才能使用关系代词that；先行词是地点，而非时间，不能用when。7.（全国卷I海南、宁夏）书面表达

C.isn'the

D.ishe答案：A15.“Becareful；donotstand________tothefire，Jim，”MrsThompsonsaidtoherlittleson.答案：A16.我完全忘了打电话给她。答案：Icompletelyforgettocallher.解析：本题考查动词用法。forgettodosth.忘记做某事。完全，用副词“completely”。翻译整个句子时要注意时态用一般过去时。17.Idon'tthinkmath_____.答案：D18.—Howwasthe2008BeijingOlympicopeningceremony?

—_______thatthewholeworldwasattracted.

A．ItwasveryfantasticB．SuchfantasticwasitC．SofantasticwasitD．Sofantasticitwas答案：C解析：因为没有very+adj+that的结构，故先排除A。而B项中的such是修饰名词的，故也排除。而so表示程度的副词放在句首，应用倒装，故选C。19.—Helenmustobeyherparents.

—Oh，shemust，__________?A．mustsheB．mustn’tsheC．shouldn’tsheD．shouldshe答案：A解析：对某人的话表示讥讽或怀疑时，可以重复他的话，所以反意疑问句中的动词形式和陈述部分应一致；或者都用肯定形式，或者都用否定形式。20.Whatdidhewanttoknow,Anne?

_______Icouldfinishwritingthereport.A．WhenwasitB．ItwaswhenthatC．ItwaswhenD．Whenitwasthat答案：D解析：本句承接上文考查know的宾语，所以回答应该是陈述语序的名词性从句。When引导的强调结构的特殊问句作宾语，用陈述语序。【标签】强调结构21.ThesewildflowersaresospecialthatIwoulddo____Icantosavethem.A．whateverB．thatC．whichD．whichever答案：A解析：考查名词性的引导词。题意是：这些野花太特别了，我想尽我所能拯救它们。句中do后是一个宾语从句，Ican后承前省略了谓语动词do,tosavethem是目的状语。可以看出宾语从句Icando不完整，缺少宾语成分，所以引导词要用关系代词what或whatever.人们常把dowhat/whateversbcantodosth当承一个句式，意为“尽力去做某事”。故答案为A.22._____Tracywasinsuchahurry?

Idon’tknow．Shemighthavebeenrunningtocatchthebus.A．WhydoyouthinkB．WhyyouthinkC．DoyouthinkwhyD．Whynotthink答案：A解析：doyouthink作插入语，疑问词放在插入语之前。23.Whichsentencehasadifferentmeaningfromtheothers?[

CAACB解析：1.第二段第二句话“Thatiswhyitiscelebratedinlatefall…”中的latefall意思是“晚秋”。2.第二段后半部分讲述了来自英国的清教徒移民举办感恩节是为了感谢上帝使他们平安横渡大西洋到美洲。3.由第三段前两句可知NewEngland和Massachusetts是美国的两个洲。4.略5.综观全文可知，短文主要讲述了感恩节的来历以及人们庆祝此节日的不同方式。35.WelcometomyMessageBoard!
