题目内容
There is hardly an environment on earth ______ some species of animal or other have not adapted successfully.
A.to which | B.in which | C.for which | D.on which |
A
解析试题分析:考查定语从句:先行词是an environment,定语从句中adapt后面缺少介词to,用to which引导定语从句。句意:地球上很难有一种环境,一些动物和其他的物种不能成功的适应的。选A。
考点:关系代词在句中作主语,宾语,表语或者定语;关系副词在句中做状语。所以要分析句子中缺什么成分来确定使用何种关系词。如果缺少介词,需要选用适当的介词,介词+which/whom可以引导定语从句。

Almost every day we come across situations in which we have to make decisions one way or another. Choice, we are given to believe, is a right. But for a good many people in the world, in rich and poor countries, choice is a luxury, something __41__but hard to get, not a right. And for those who think they are exercising their right to make choices, the whole system is merely an illusion, a false idea created by companies and advertisers hoping to sell their products.
The endless choice gives birth to anxiety in people’s lives. Buying something as basic as a coffee pot is not exactly __42__. Easy access to a wide range of everyday goods leads to a sense of powerlessness in many people, __43__in the costomer giving up and walking away, or just buying an unsuitable item that is not really wanted. Recent studies in England have shown that many electrical goods __44__ in almost every family are not __45__ needed. More difficult decision-making is then either avoided or trusted into the hands of the __46__, lifestyle instructors, or advisors.
It is not just the availability of the goods that is the problem, but the speed with which new types of products come on the market. Advances in __47__ and production help quicken the process. Products also need to have a short lifespan so that the public can be persuaded to replace them within a short time. The __48__ example is computers, which are almost out-of-date once they are bought. This indeed makes selection a problem. So gone are the days when one could just walk with ease into a shop and buy one thing: no choice, no __49__.
