sth.某人有必要做某事②It’s necessary that…有必要……。注意：that从句中谓语用should + 动词原型，should 可省略。另外：不能使用sb. is necessary to do 结构，因为通常是“某事或做某事有必要”，而非人有必要。误：He is necessary to return home this afternoon. 正：It’s necessary for him to return home this afternoon.

经典名题导解
1.If______, we’ll go.
A.necessary B.being necessary
C.to be necessary D.it necessary
解析：此题考题“it+形容词或分词”作状语的结构。在英语中由if it is+adj引起的条件从句可以省略it is,直接用“if+adj或分词”的结构来代替类似的用法是when和while引起的时间从句中也可用“when/while+adj或分词”来代替“when/while it is...句型”。本题答案为A。
2.At what time shall we______?
A.reach B.arrive C.get to D.arrive in
解析：此题考查reach, arrive,get to等词的用法。reach是一个及物动词，get to 也是一个及物动词短语，表示“到达某地”时后面都应该加上一个宾语。而arrive 是一个不及物动词，后面可以不用宾语，如表示到达某地则用arrive in/at。本题答案为B。
3._____to call.
A.You are enough B.You are so kind
C.It’s very kind of you D.It’s kind for you
解析：此题考查it is+adj+of/for sb.to do sth. 的结构。在“it is+adj+of/for sb.to do sth.”的结构中。介词的使用很容易出现差错。一般来说如形容词是用来修饰人、表示人的特性特征的话用介词of ,如形容词是用来修饰to do sth.的话用介词for。故本题答案用C。
4.Is this factory _______ he worked in last year?
A.that B.which C.the one D.where
解析：此题考查的是定语从句的用法。定语从句是本单元的重点语法内容。定语从句应有先行词，但本句话没有先行词，故本题正确答案为C。
5.This is the library______ we can borrow books.
A.which B.that C.from which D.in which
解析：此题考查的是定语从句中关系代词的用法。关系代词在句子中的选择要根据先行词在从句中的作用（即充当的句子成分）来决定。其基本规律是先行词在从句中作主语或宾语时用that/who 或 which,作介词宾语时用介词+which或介词+whom（人）。本句意思是“我们可以从这家图书馆借到书。”故用介词+which (物)。所以本题答案为C。
