第十一講 名詞性從句
[模擬演練]
Ⅰ.單句填空
1．“Every time you eat a sweet, drink green tea.” This is ________my mother used to tell me.
【解析】 本題考查表語從句的引導詞。what my mother used to tell me和系動詞is構成系表結構，what既是這個從句的引導詞，也在從句裏充當動詞tell的賓語。句意：“每次你吃糖的時候喝杯綠茶”，這是我媽媽過去常常告訴我的事情。
【答案】 what
2．—Is it true that Mike refused an offer from Yale University yesterday?
—Yeah, but I have no idea________he did it; that's one of his favorite universities.
【解析】 答句實際上是一個同位語從句，是對名詞idea的內容進行的説明。句意：——邁克拒絕了耶魯大學的錄取，這是真的嗎？——是的，我不知道他為什麼要這樣做。耶魯大學是他最喜歡的大學之一。短語have no idea後面可以使用多種形式的同位語結構，如have no idea where to go等。根據句意可知使用why表示原因。
【答案】 why
3．________makes the book so extraordinary is the creative imagination of the writer.
【解析】 此題題幹部分is為系動詞，the creative imagination of the writer為表語，故is之前為主語從句。從句中缺少主語，故用what。意為：使得這本書如此不同尋常的是作者富於創造的想象力。
【答案】 What
4．Experts believe________people can waste less food by shopping only when it is necessary.
【解析】 動詞believe之後為賓語從句，從句陳述一個事實，不缺少成分，故使用that表陳述。
【答案】 that/不填
5．Do not let any failures discourage you, for you can never tell________close you may be to victory.
【解析】 動詞tell之後為賓語從句，並可以看出賓語從句部分為感嘆句轉換而來，描述形容詞close用how。
【答案】 how
6．It's good to know________the dogs will be well cared for while we're away.
【解析】 動詞know之後為賓語從句，從句中不缺少成分，故用that表陳述一個事實。
【答案】 that
7．It remains to be seen________the newly formed committee's policy can be put into practice.
【解析】 題幹中it作形式主語，真正主語為橫線後的主語從句。判斷主語從句中不缺少主幹成分，“有待被觀察”的事情應是不確定的事而不是表陳述，應用whether表“是否”。
【答案】 whether
8．________I want to tell you is the deep love and respect I have for my parents.
【解析】 主句謂語為is，之前為主語從句，從句中缺少動詞tell的直接賓語，指事物，故填what。
【答案】 What
9．Police have found________appears to be the lost ancient statue.
【解析】 動詞found後所接為賓語從句，從句中缺少主語指事物，故填代詞what。
【答案】 what
10．The only way to succeed at the highest level is to have total belief________you are better than anyone else on the sports field.
【解析】 belief後所接的從句是對其內容進行解釋説明，故為同位語從句，陳述belief的內容。
【答案】 that
11．________struck me most in the movie was the father's deep lovefor his son.
【解析】 主句謂語動詞was之前為主語從句；主語從句中缺少主語指事物，故使用代詞what。
【答案】 What
12．From space, the earth looks blue. This is________about seventy－one percent of its surface is covered by water.
【解析】 本題考查表語從句的引導詞。句意：從太空看，地球是藍色的。這是因為其表面71%是被水覆蓋的。分析前後兩句之間的邏輯關係，此處為“前果後因”，故用because。
【答案】 because
13．This helps create parents' expectations for the student and helps the student know________the expectation will be, which reduces stress.
【解析】 本句是一個賓語從句，做know的賓語。缺引導詞，且引導詞在賓語從句中作be的表語，結合句意可知，答案為what。
【答案】 what
14．Each time the eagle let his dreams be known, he was told it couldn't be done.That is________the eagle learned to believe.
【解析】 本句是一個表語從句，表語從句中缺引導詞，且引導詞在從句中作believe的賓語，因此應該用what引導，等於the thing that，即相當於一個名詞加一個定語從句。
【答案】 what
15．Success partly depends on________you have the patience to do simple things perfectly.
【解析】 考查賓語從句的引導詞。句意：成功部分取決於你是否有耐心把簡單的事情做得完美。在題幹中，介詞“on”後面是賓語從句，結合語境可知，應用whether。
【答案】 whether
