26. I met several people there, two of _____were foreigners. 　

　A. whom　　 B. them　　　 C. who　　 D. which

此题选A，two of whom were foreigners为非限制性定语从句

对比：I met several people there, two of _____ being foreigners.　

　A. whom　 B. them　 C. who　 D. which

题选B，two of them being foreigners不是一个完整的句子，因为句子没有谓语，而只有非谓语动词 being

25. He had a lot of friends, none of _____ could lend him any money.

　A. whom　　　 B. them　　 C. which　　 D. who

此题选A，none of whom could ...为非限制性定语从句

对比：He had a lot of friends, but none of _____ could lend him any money.

　A. whom　 　B. them　 C. which　 D. who

此题选B，由于句中有并列连词 but，整个句子为并列句，因此选them

He wrote a lot of novels, none of _____ translated into a foreign language.

　A. them　 B. which C . it　 D. what　

同学们看了上面一题的分析后，也许会毫不犹豫地认为此题应选 B，理由是none前没有并

列连词 and或 but，但这次又错了。此题的最佳选项应是A，注意此句与上面一句有着本

质的不同，即此句的 translated不是谓语，而是一个非谓语动词(过去分词)，所以逗号

后面其实不是一个完整的句子，而是一个独立结构。假若在 translated前加一个助动词 w

as，则此题应选(which)，构成一个非限制性定语从句。所以做这类题要特别小心，千万

不要想当然，更不要受思维定势的影响。　

24. He ran as fast as he could _____ to catch the bus.　

　A. hope　　 B. to hope　　 C. hoping　 D. hoped

　此题的最佳答案不是B，而是C，其中的现在分词短语hoping to catch the bus用做伴随状语，即一边跑一边希望能赶上汽车。但是，如果选B，将to hope to catch the bus视为目的状语行不行呢？不行。因为“他拼命地跑”目的是“为了赶上公共汽车”，而不是“为了希望赶上公共汽车”，换句话说，将“希望”作为“目的”不妥。因为同样的原因，下面一题也应选hoping：He studied as hard as he could _____ to enter a good college.　

　A. hope　 B. to hope　 C. hoping　 D. hoped　

23. I’d try even if I may fail ___　 __ sit there worrying in time of trouble.

22. -Ms Lin looks rather a kind lady.　 -But in fact she is cold and hard on us. You ____believe it!

A. shouldn’t　 B. wouldn’t　 C. mustn’t　　 D.needn’t

21. I have no dreams ____ to have a happy life.

A. rather than　 B. more than　 C. other than　　 D. less than

other than的意思是除了而rather than的意思是而不是

20.-What do you think of the concert?　 -I really enjoy it. I didn’t expect it was ____ wonderful.

A 这是一个省略句，承接上文，省略了as I had thought。

19. He was sentenced to death ______ what he has stolen from the bank.

A. that　　 B. since　 C. because　　 D. because of

what he has stolen from the bank是名词性从句，所以应该用介词because of

18. ______ nice，the food was all eaten up soon.

A. Tasting　 B. Taste　 C. Tasted　　 D. To taste

taste是系动词,没有被动，答案A表示原因。对比：

____ nice, the food should be made by adding more sugar. 此题应选D，表示条件。
