1. Many of the creatures in Rowling’s world are not real, and much of what happens is strange.(Reading)
[考點(diǎn)] 連接代詞what引導(dǎo)的從句不僅可以作動(dòng)詞的賓語，也可以作介詞的賓語, 其本身可在從句中作主語、賓語或表語等成分。
[考例] A modern city has been set up in ________ was a wasteland ten years ago.（天津2004）
A. what B. which
C. that D. where
[點(diǎn)撥] 選A。由題意可知，此處為從句作介詞in的賓語，且從句缺主語，故選what。注意：that引導(dǎo)賓語從句時(shí)，一般在從句中不作成分，只起引導(dǎo)從句的作用。
2. JK Rowling has written a series of books about Harry Potter, a boy with a scar on his forehead and a secret past. (Reading)
[考點(diǎn)] with a scar on his forehead是with的復(fù)合賓語結(jié)構(gòu),它是 “獨(dú)立主格”結(jié)構(gòu)的一種形式。賓語補(bǔ)足語除了介詞短語之外，還可以是形容詞、副詞、-ing形式、過去分詞、不定式等。
[考例1] With a lot of difficult problems _______, the newly-elected president is having a hard time.
(上海2002春)
A. settled B. settling
C. to settle D. being settled
[考例2] _______ two exams to worry about, I have to work really hard this weekend.(北京2004)
A. With B. Besides
C. As for D. Because of
[考例3] It was a pity that the great writer died _______ his works unfinished. (福建2004)
A. for B. with C. from D. of
[點(diǎn)撥] 考例1選C。這里不定式強(qiáng)調(diào)該動(dòng)作尚未發(fā)生，表示將來的行為，且problems為settle的邏輯賓語�？祭�2選A�？祭�3選B。這兩道題都考查對(duì)with復(fù)合賓語結(jié)構(gòu)的識(shí)別, 分別表原因和伴隨。
3. If only they could find a way to get to the room, or whatever it was, behind the wall.(Integrating Skills)
[考點(diǎn)] if only意為“但愿；真希望；要是……就好了”，表示強(qiáng)烈的愿望，后接從句，從句謂語用虛擬語氣（與現(xiàn)在事實(shí)相反用過去時(shí)；與過去事實(shí)相反用過去完成時(shí)；與將來事實(shí)相反用could/would+動(dòng)詞原形）。如：
If only my parents were here now.
真希望我的父母現(xiàn)在就在這里。
If only I had come five minutes earlier. 要是我早來五分鐘就好了。
If only I could get a ticket to the concert.但愿我能夠買到音樂會(huì)的門票。
[考例] Look at the trouble I am in! If only I ______ your advice.
(上海2003春)
A. followed B. would follow
C. had followed D. should follow
[點(diǎn)撥] 選C。根據(jù)語境“要是我（當(dāng)時(shí)）聽了你的建議就好了”推斷，從句表示與過去事實(shí)相反的假設(shè)，應(yīng)用過去完成時(shí)。
4. It looked as if the creature had moved. (Integrating Skills)
[考點(diǎn)] as if表示“好像；仿佛”，引導(dǎo)表語從句或方式狀語從句，有時(shí)還可以接不定式。注意：as if引導(dǎo)方式狀語從句時(shí)，從句謂語常用虛擬語氣。如：
It looks as if the suit was made by her mother.
這套衣服看起來好像是她媽媽做的。
He talks as if he knew all about it.
他說話的口氣好像他知道了所有的事情。
He opened his mouth as if to say something.
他張開嘴好像要說些什么。

A. breaks B. has broken
C. were broken
D. had been broken
[考例2] The man we followed suddenly stopped and looked as if _____ whether he was going in the right direction. (安徽 2003春)
A. seeing B. having seen
C. to have seen D. to see
[點(diǎn)撥] 考例1選C。從句所表達(dá)的意義與現(xiàn)在事實(shí)相反，故應(yīng)用一般過去時(shí)。考例2選D。as if后接不定式，且該動(dòng)作尚未發(fā)生，故選D。
5. He was just about to say something when Pete turned around.
(Integrating Skills)
[考點(diǎn)] be doing/about to do...when...是常用句型，表示“一件事情正在或?qū)⒁M(jìn)行，這時(shí)發(fā)生了另一件意外的事情”。when的意思相當(dāng)于and just then或and at that time。
[考例] He was about to tell me the secret ______ someone patted him on the shoulder.(上海2002)
A. as B. until C. while D. when
[點(diǎn)撥] 選D。此題考查對(duì)這個(gè)常用句型的識(shí)別與運(yùn)用。
6. The creature spoke again, “Come here and I’ll whisper the question in your ear. ...”.(Integrating Skills)
[考點(diǎn)] 句型“祈使句+and(or)+陳述句”中的祈使句相當(dāng)于if引導(dǎo)的條件狀語從句。本句可以轉(zhuǎn)換成：“If you come here, I’ll whisper...”。
