14．Few people know the fact________was not until 1936 that basketball became a regular part of the Olympic Games.

A．it that　 B．that it　 C．that　 D．it

答案　B

解析　分析句子结构是做对该题的关键，the fact后的句子是对fact内容的进一步解释，是同位语从句，语意完整，用that引导，而且that不可省略；由句中“not until 1936 that...”可知是not...until结构的强调句型，应是it was not until...that，故选B。

13．-The project has been held up by a sudden change in temperature for a week.

-I’m afraid the terrible weather will________for some time.

A．keep back　 B．keep up

C．keep out　 D．keep on

答案　B

解析　考查动词词组意思辨析。A项keep back“扣下(一部分钱)；忍住，抑制住”；B项keep up“持续；保持”；C项keep out“禁止入内”；D项keep on“继续(做)；继续留用”，只有B项符合语意。

-I don’t know if I can help；________.

A．that’s a pity　 B．it all depends

C．you are welcome　 D．that’s a pleasure

答案　B

解析　考查情境交际英语。答语句意为：“我不知道我能否帮上忙，一切得看情况来定。”It all depends“不一定；看情况而定”，其他选项不合语境。

11．With China’s policy of reform and opening to the outside world，the city has had________growth in the number of international tourists over the past two decades.

A．abstract　 B．solid　 C．fragile　 D．steady

答案　D

解析　考查形容词的词义辨析。steady“平稳的，持续的”。句意为：……，在过去的20年里国际游客人数有了稳定增长。A项abstract“抽象的”；B项solid“固体的；可靠的”；C项fragile“易碎的；脆弱的”。

10．China should become a global leader in energy efficiency by 2050________nuclear power is likely to account for at least half of the country’s energy.

A．on which　 B．that

C．when　 D．for that

答案　C

解析　句意为：到2050年中国会在有效利用能源方面成为全球的领导人物，那时，核能至少可能占这个国家能源的一半。先行词在定语从句中作时间状语，所以用when来引导。

A．a collection of　 B．a range of

C．a kind of　 D．a bunch of

解析　考查词组意义的辨析。a range of“一系列”，此处是表示“举办了一系列的传统活动”。A项a collection of“一群(人)；一批(物品)”；D项a bunch of“一束；一串；一堆”，不合题意。

8．________it seems to make sense，but if you think about it，the rule misses the point.

A．At first glance　 B．At the first glance
