本题考查that引导的同位语从句，that 引导的从句修饰句子的主语 a story。答案：D

　　黑色陷阱

　　本题易错选C项。错选的原因是没有看出本句考查的是同位语从句，而把它当成宾语从句。

　　绿色通道

　　要解对本题先要弄清楚同位语从句的含义。同位语从句用以解释、说明被修饰词的内容，常接同位语从句的词有：idea，fact，rumor，news，hope，belief，thought，problem，doubt，suggestion，fear等。that引导同位语从句时在从句中不充当成分，但不能省略。

例6 The pilot asked all the passengers on board to remain as the plane was making a landing.

　　A.seat B.seating C.seated D.to be seating

　　思路解析

　　该题考查seat 的用法。seat 为及物动词，意为"使......坐"，当表示"坐着"的意思时，须用其过去分词seated。答案：C

　　黑色陷阱

　　本题最大的干扰项是选项B。因为要表示"飞机上的乘客在飞机着落的时候仍然坐着"，多数人首先想到的表示主动意义的现在分词。

　　绿色通道

　　在系动词后面要用过去分词作表语的有seat，locate，dress，lose，devote，hide等，平时加强记忆，解题时遇到这些词要多加注意。

例7 What surprised me was not what he said but he said it.

　　A.the way B.in the way of C.in the way D.the way which

　　思路解析

　　此题考查way后接定语从句的关系词的选用问题。way作先行词时，关系词常有三种形式：（1）省略，（2）that,（3）in which。本题A选项符合要求。答案：A

　　黑色陷阱

　　本题易错选C项。错选的原因是没有掌握not ...but 结构要求后面所接的词是一致的，即not 后是名词，but 后也应是名词。本句中what he said 应看作名词结构，和but 后的the way 一致，所以in the way不合题意。

　　绿色通道

　　选对本题的关键是掌握way 在定语从句中作先行词的用法。way后接定语从句，若关系词在从句中作定语，用以上三种形式中的任何一种；若关系词在从句中作主语或宾语，则应用that/which。

例8 -Is there any rule as to how the people who are invited to the ball should be dressed?

　　-No，not really.They can wear they like.

　　A.whatever B.wherever C.however D.whenever

　　思路解析

　　本题所选答案应作like 的宾语，whatever所引导的从句具有名词性，可在句中作宾语，其余三个选项在句中只能作状语。答案:A

　　黑色陷阱

　　做本题时会因为不理解"疑问词+ever"的句法功能而无所适从。解题时最忌把疑问词加ever理解为一类结构，即等同于no matter+疑问词。要知道whatever还可理解为something that/anything that，引出名词短语或从句。

　　绿色通道

　　whatever，whoever，whichever 等既可引导名词性从句，也可引导状语从句，引导状语从句时才可以转换成 no matter what/who/which...。

Tarawa is one of the two largest of the Gilbert Islands in the western Pacific Ocean，but it is a very tiny island，with an area of about eight square miles，and a population of about 17 000.Small as it is，three nations fought to control and use it as an air base during World War Ⅱ.The Japanese took it from the British in 1941，only to lose it to the Americans two years later after one of the bloodiest（血腥的）battles of the war.Today，the Gilbert Islands having become part of the Kiribati Republic，Tarawa is now its capital and major seaport.
