答案解析:
1. Dno more…than…“不比……更……”。此句意为:“研究表明,喝了酒但不过量的司机可能出车祸,不喝酒的司机也同样可能出车祸。”
2. Drather than起并列作用,使merciful与criminal形成平行结构,表示对比。
3. Anone but相当于no one but“只有”,通常接表示人的词;nothing but接表示物的词;none other than和no other than两者的意思都是“(不是别的)……正是……”,与本题全句意思不符。
4. Aas在句中是关系代词,引导非限定性定语从句,其先行词是precautions,其他几个选项都不是关系代词,所以是错误的。
5. Dwhat是关系代词,引导名词性从句,同时又在从句中充当一个成分,如在本句中做从句的主语,整个名词性从句做介词of的宾语;which只能引导形容词性从句;that引导名词性从句时,只是连词;whatever用在句中不通。
6. D时间状语thus far“到目前为止”,与现在完成时连用,据此排除B、C。比较从句完整的结构应该是…than the thought which has been given thus far,可以把than 看做关系代词在从句中做主语,也可以把主语看做是省略了。
7. A题句由于主语较长,采用了倒装结构,可还原为:the nation-wide movement to support the Kampuchean people in their heroic struggle against the aggression of the Vietnamese is of great significance。movement要求不定式做定语,其他选项均不符合语法规则。
8. Alooking for…分词短语做came的伴随状语,如果选to look for做目的状语的话,不该有逗号。
9. B动词request要求其主语从句、宾语从句或同位语从句中谓语动词用(should+)原形表示虚拟。该句中that引导的是主语从句。
10. Dcan?t have done 表示对已发生的情况作否定推测“一定不是/没……”,根据句意只能选D。
