A.why

B.that

C．which

D．it参考答案：C13.——I’vereadanotherbookthisweek.——Well,maybe

isnothowmuchyoureadbutwhatyoureadthatcounts.A..this

B.that

C.there

D.it

参考答案：D解析：考查强调句型的用法。把“

is”和句中的that省略后，该句话依旧成立，由此可知该题是强调句型的结构，所以答案只能是it。如果不能准确区分句子结构是该题出错的主要原因。14.Ilike________intheautumnwhentheweatherisclearandbright.A.this

B.that

C.it D.one参考答案：C解析：when引导的从句作like的宾语，只有it才能作形式宾语，故C为正确答案。15.Sometimeswejustcan’tunderstandwhysomanypeoplefailtorealizethatwealthdoesnot______bringhappiness?A.consequently B.automatically C.necessarily

D.particularly参考答案：C16.---AreyougoingtoseeTheFlowersofWarbyZhangYimou?
