Question

【题目】She was just about to explain ______ she hadn’t passed her maths test chiefly out of carelessness ______ her uncle came.

A.her mother, whenB.to her mother why, that

C.her mother that, whenD.to her mother that, when

Answer 1

【答案】D

【解析】

考查固定短语、宾语从句和固定句型。句意：她正要向母亲解释她数学考试不及格主要是由于粗心，这时她叔叔来了。第一空，根据短语explain to sb.“向……解释”后跟不定式，且后文为宾语从句，从句中不缺少成分应用that引导，故第一空填to her mother that；第二空为固定句型sb. be about to do sth. when…“某人正要做某事，这时……”，故第二空填when。故选D。
