三、精典名题导解
题1 （MET 1992）
It worried her a bit _________her hair was turning grey.
A.while B. if C.that D.for
分析：C。该题考查主语从句的连接词，句中it指主语从句，因意义完整，所以只需要起连接作用的连接词that.
题2 （NMET 1996）
_________we can’t get seems better than________ we have.
A.What; what B.What; that
C.That; that D.That; what
分析：A。get和have之后都无宾语，故都应填what。
题3 （NMET 1996）
___________we’ll go camping tomorrow depends on the weather.
A.If B.Whether C.That D.Where
分析：B。主语从句表示的是不肯定的意义，故不能选择C。从意义上看，D不合句意，又因whether能引导主语从句，而if不能。
题4 （上海 2002）
-Will yo go skiing with me this winter vacation?
-It __________.
A.all depend B.all depends
C.is all depended D.is all depending
分析：B。本题是固定用法。It all depends.“看情况而定”。
题5 （高考改错题）
Who can walk in the space?
分析：去掉the. space 作“空间，太空”讲，不与the 连用。space表示具体的空白处、空地等时（即有修饰语修饰space时），它应与冠词连用。
题6 （上海 2002）
One may to understand thousands of new words is to gain _________ good knowledge of basic word formation.
A./ B.the C.a D.one
分析：C。知识为不可数名词，但当在knowledge前加上修饰语时，需用“a”。
