6. I remember _____ this used to be a quiet village.
A. when B how C where D what

Answer 1

1.)选B ,句子前面已经有谓语worked ，所以 prepare应该用非谓语的形式，用preparing a speech for the president做伴随状语才对，因为prepare前面有逗号，习惯上不用不定式to prepare
2）D, 这是定语从句，从句意上看windows是属于house 的，所以用whose
3）选A, defeat尤指在战场上打败敌人；beat是游戏、比赛的专门用词
won 后面加的是某个事物，如比赛、奖牌、奖品等，不接人物的（team在这里是集体名词，指全体队员）
4）选B，这是定语从句，从句_____ we visited last year缺宾语，选which充当visit的 宾语
5）D,这里用来虚拟语气，且又是过去时， 所以用 had hoped
He ___had hoped__ to pass the examination, but he __failed___ in it
句意意为：当时他本希望通过考试的，但失败了。
6）A,when，觉得这个有点难度，容易搞错
因为有个“this”在从句中作主语了，就不选where。用where句意不通
I remember __when___ this used to be a quiet village
句意是：我记得那个时候这个地方曾经是一个安静的小村庄的

1 b 表伴随情况下
2 b 哪一个的窗子
3 b 固定词组
4 b VISIT THE PLACE
5 d 时态
6 c 村庄是地方 I REMEMBER THIS PLACE WHERE USED TO BE A VILLAGE
