　　3. She was just about to explain _____ she hadn’t passed her Maths test chiefly out of carelessness _____ her uncle came.

　　A. her mother … when B. to her mother why … that

　　C. her mother that … when D. to her mother that … when

　　答案及解析：

　　1. D。非謂語動詞做狀語，其邏輯主語是句中主語。The hidden meaning不能執行read的動作，所以排除A、B;C項屬于動名詞獨立主格結構，在句中做主語。故答案為D。

　　2. A。and連接兩個名詞表示“一副，一雙，一套等或一個人兼兩個職務”，即用一個冠詞或物主代詞限定兩個名詞做主語，謂語用單數形式。故答案為A。

　　3. D。explain/ announce等后面的結構是～ sth. to sb. 或～ to sb. sth.，to 不可省略。第二個空白處應填when，表示“正當……的時候”。故答案為D。

　　1. “Will you be able to finish the job this week?” “ _____ .”

　　3. _____ he was ill, I was expected to take his place greatly surprised me for I didn’t have much working experience.

　　A. If B. That if C. That D. If that

　　參考答案及解析：

　　1. D。I don’t expect so. = I expect not. 能這樣使用的動詞還有believe, think和 suppose;而在hope等動詞后，否定形式只有 I hope not. 不能說 I don’t hope so. 故答案為D。

　　2. C。how to 要連在一起使用，故排除A。only加狀語提到主句前面時，主句中主語和謂語用部分倒裝。故答案C。

　　3. B。that引導的是主語從句，而 if 從句是that主語從句中的條件狀語。故答案為B。

　　A. not wanting B. who not want C. not wanted D. are not want

　　A. a great many B. plenty of C. many a D. a great deal

　　3. Why are you always making the same mistake? Think of _____ I told you.

　　A. that B. when C. how D. what

　　答案及解析：

　　1. A。not wanting 等于who do not want. 故答案為A。

　　2. C。many a merry night= a great many /plenty of merry nights . many a 雖然表示復數意義，但后面跟單數名詞。故答案為C。

　　3. D。of后面是介詞賓語從句，需要連詞且在從句中做 tell 的直接賓語;所以用 what， that 在名詞性從句中補充當成分，沒有實在意義。而B、C連接副詞，在從句中只做狀語。故答案為D。
