答案及解析
1. A 约翰有很强的表演潜能,但他需要通过训练才能成为一个真正的演员。
potential:潜力,潜能;possibility:可能性;probability:可能性;productivity:生产率。
2. C 银是最好的电导体,铜次之。
分析句子结构可知,逗号前为完整的句子,所以空格处应填入一个非谓语动词作状语,构成独立主格结构。因为copper和follow之间为主谓关系,所以此处应用表示主动关系的现在分词形式following。
3. A 这顿饭没有她曾向我们许诺的那样好。
主句中有such时,定语从句只能用as或that引导。在“such…as 从句”结构中,as是关系代词,引导的是定语从句,指代前面的先行词,而且在从句中充当一定的句子成分;在“such…that 从句”结构中,that仅是连接词,引导的是结果状语从句,且在从句中不充当任何句子成分。分析句子结构可知,本题应选A,as指代前面的good dinner并作从句中promised的宾语补足语。
4. C 许多报纸刊登了这个官员将要辞职的声明。
根据句意,“他将要辞职”表示的正是前面“这个官员的声明”的内容,所以本句是个同位语从句,因而应由that来引导,而且that在从句中不充当任何句子成分。
5. A 我们将永远不会忘记我们一起唱歌、跳舞的日子。
spend在表示“度过(时间),消磨(时间)”之意时,是及物动词,后直接跟宾语,不与介词搭配,故排除选项B、C。而选项中能引导定语从句并作spend宾语的只有that。when一般引导时间状语从句,在从句中作状语。
