例1. ____ of the twins passed the exam because they worked hard at their lessons.

A. Every  B. Neither  C. None  D. Both

简析：此题选D。B、C两项是否定含义的词，在句中逻辑上说不通。另外注意neither强调“两者都不”，none强调三者以上的“都不”。A项的 every只能作定语，不能作主语、表语或宾语。

例2. _____ the window. What’s happening there?

A. Look off       B. Look over

C. Look out of     D. Look for

简析：此题选C。此题考查带look的短评动词的用法。根据第二个句子问外面发生了什么事，可推知第一句是让“往窗外看”，故用look out of。look over是指医生“检查”病人，look for是“寻找”，A项短语不正确。

例3. _____ bad weather we are having! We’ve never had _____ rainy days.

A.What a; such       B. How; so

C. What; such        D. What; so

简析：此题选C。第一个句子是感叹句，中心词是名词 weather，故应填 what，而非 how，又因 weather是不可数名词，所以 what后面不能加a。第二个句子中的 days是名词，故应填such，而非so(so修饰形容词或副词)。
