Question

Don’t you know that Australia was, as a matter of fact, _________ used to be a nation of prisoners!

A．where

B．what

C．which

D．that

Answer 1

B

试题分析：句意：难道你不知道澳大利亚实际上是一个囚犯的国家吗?这里是what引导的表语从句，what在从句中作主语，where不能在表语从句中作主语，which在定语从句中可以作主语，that在表语从句中不作成分，故选B。
点评：本题难度适中。判断表语从句中用哪个连词，需用记住连词的用法，在句中的作用，连词也是高考的热点，需要考生平时多练习。需要考生会分析句子成分理解句意。这里考生容易误选C。
即学即练：“You’ll have to wait for two hours,_________is, about 11:30,  the medical report will come out.” the doctor said to me.
A.that; when     B.which; that      C.that; before    D.which; when
解析：A。考查when表示“那时”的用法。根据句意，选A。
