“Was it under the tree _________ you were away talking to a friend?” “Sure. But when I got back there, the bike was gone.
A. that B. where C. which D. while
D
解析:
做好此题的关键是正确理解上下文的语境。在此句 中,it 是代词,指代 the bike,句意为:“当你离开去同朋友谈话的时候,你的自行车是在这树下吗?”“当然,但当我回来时,自行车就不见了。”现在反过来分析一下,假若选A,将此句判为强调句, 句子即为 Was it under the tree that you were away talking to a friend? 若进一步转换为非强调句, 句子则为 Under the tree while you were talking to a friend,句意显然很荒唐。
Despite being tall, Michelle Obama is much smaller than she appears on television. And she seemed a little short by her surroundings in the great hall of Christchurch College as she spoke quietly without a microphone because of a technical mistake. Her audience were 40 young girls from a London state school where 50 languages are spoken.
“I remember how well-meaning but misguided people questioned whether someone with my background could succeed at an elite (精英) university,” she said. “When I was accepted, I had all kinds of worries and doubts. I wouldn’t be as well prepared as students from privileged families and I wouldn’t fit in. But you are just as capable and have just as much to offer as anyone else.”
This was Mrs. Obama’s only solo outing during the state visit and part two of an unusual relationship which she has struck up with Anderson College in Islington. Two years ago on her first visit to the UK she visited the school.
Yesterday she returned to meet the pupils but this time at Christchurch College where they were taking part in an open day run to improve Oxford’s still poor record on diversifying student intake.
Mrs. Obama was asked why she married her husband, what it was like being First Lady and when there would be a female President in the White House. Her message—which she repeated time and again—was work hard, have self-belief, and don’t be afraid to fail. It was very un-British, but rather effective. Afterwards there were hugs for everyone and a photo with her.
And watching the group of multicultural young Britons surround her among the splendor of the college building one thought stood out. Had Mrs. Obama been born in Britain, she would almost certainly not have made it to Oxford as she did to Harvard. But now—thanks in part to her—some of these children just might.
