Part ⅡStructute
Section A

doing 或 need to be done，故 C。
17． A
[解析 ] whom 引的从句作wonder 的；而在从句中，whom 作 belong to 的。另外，在
从句中，主和的序与述句相同，故 A 。
18． D
[解析 ] 由形容最高修的名，其后的定从句要用that 引，故D。
19． B
[解析 ] since 引的是原因状从句，表示“因，由于”。其他与意不符：although 意“
然，尽管”， if 意“如果” ， until 意“直到??才” ，故 B 。
20． D
[解析 ] 在表示“要求” ，“ 持”，“建”，“命令”等后的从句中，用“(should) + 原
形”构成虚气；在里，省略了 should，直接要加原形。些的主从句，如 It is required that... ， It is ordered that... ， It is suggested that... 等，也要用相同的形式，例如： It is suggested that we (shoulD) study hard．(人建我好好学。 ) 21． A
[解析 ] 句然是直接引的句子，但状by the end of last year( 到去年止 )，直接引
中的就构成了“ 去的去”，所以用去完成。四个中只有 A 是去完成，故 A 。
22． C

意，如： my elder brother( 我的哥哥 )，故 C。

24． B
[解析 ] 如果主数，尽管后面有with ，together with ， as well as ，no less than ， like ， but，expect
等介，但的介短相当于修主的定成分，所以仍用数，故B。

live 被省略了，故答案to live 。
