专项特训——2008年专四单项选择
51. Our association, which has consistently pressed for greater employment opportunities for the disabled, will publish ____ proposals in the near future.
A. theirB. our C. his D. its
答案：D. 考查物主代词。逗号与逗号之间的是作为插入语，是association的定语从句，在此association作为一个整体概念出现，且其定语从句中也是用单数谓语动词has pressed，后面对应的物主代词也应该是单数概念的，故选D。句意：我们的协会一直在敦促给残疾人更多的就业机会，并且讲在最近公布建议书。publish公布，proposal提议；建议，pressfor敦促；迫切要求。
52. Had Judy been more careful on the maths exam, she ____ much better results now.
A. would be getting B. could have got
C. must get D. would get
答案：D.考查虚拟语气（错综时间虚拟语气）。从句部分是对过去的虚拟，省略了if，因此出现倒装，但主句部分出现了明显的时间标志词now，可见是对现在的虚拟，故应该是would/could/should/might do的形式，而get为瞬间动词，不用进行时，故选D。句意：如果朱迪数学考试时更认真一些，她现在成绩就会好多了。
53. Nine is to three _____ three is to one.
A. whenB. that C. which D. what
答案：D。搭配：A is to B what C is to D，由what引导的方式状语从句。句意：9相对于3等同于3相对于1。
54. Men differ from animals ____ they can think and speak.
A. for which B. for that C. in that D. in which
答案：C。in that引导原因状语从句。for that不能引导从句，A和D都引导定语从句。句意：人之所以有别于动物在于他们能思考，会说话。
55. ____ he wanted to go out with his friends at the weekend, he had to stay behind to finishhis assignment.
A. Much though B. Much as C.As much D. Though much
答案：B. 考查由much as引导的让步状语从句，意为“尽管”=although。而as much意为“同样地，这样地”。A和D不是固定搭配。句意：尽管他想周末和朋友出去，却不得不留下完成作业。
56. I enjoyed myself so much ____ I visited my friends in Paris last year.
A. whenB. which C. that D. where
答案：A. 考查时间状语从句。四个选项都可以引导定语从句，但这里没有后面从句修饰的先行词，故出现的不是定语从句。从两部分之间的关系来看，后面部分提到了时间段，因此填入when，成为时间状语从句。句意：去年我去巴黎拜访朋友时玩得非常开心。

A. All his lectures were boring.
B. Half his money was gone.

61. The following are all correct responses to "Who told the news to the teacher?" EXCEPT
A. Jim did this. B. Jim did so. C. Jim did that. D. Jim did.

62. Quality is ____ counts most.
A. whichB. that C. what D. where
答案：C. 句中is后为表语从句，该从句中缺少主语，that引导名词性从句时不做成分，where为地点状语，which引导非限制性定语从句，故这里选what（做双重身份：表语从句引导词和表语从句中的主语）
