高考英语语法

1.( ) the efforts made by the researchers made____possible the appearance of a new life-saving medicine.
为什么选made 而不是made it?？
2.my little daughter has walked eight miles today,we never guessed that she could walk____far. A。that B。such C ./ D.as
为什么选that？？

Answer 1

1）因为the appearance of a new life-saving medicine就是make ... possible中的...，但放在make和possible之间太长了，于是后置了。

如果后置的不是名词短语而是动词不定式短语或者一个句子，则用it代替；本题中的the appearance of a new life-saving medicine是名词短语，所以不能选made it。

2）that和this还有一个和中文很像的用法“那么/这么”，程度副词。
