帮忙看两道高中英语题

1.I have always been honest and straight forward,and it doesn't matter___I'mtalking to
A.who is it B.who it is C.it is who D.it is whom
2.--Every bird likes its own nest
--Yes.A nest is to a bird__ a house is to a man.
A.as B.that C.what D.which
第一题B,第二题C.
第一题的it is怎么理解，帮忙分析一下句子成分。
第二题答案说是表语从句，不能理解啊，还有，为什么不选A啊

Answer 1

1指代性别不明的人用it，it doesn't matter实际上是it作为形式主语，___I'mtalking to作为真正主语。
如果把i'm taking to 去掉的话，那么who it is 就是第一个it指代的真正主语，主语从句中须用陈述语序。who后面是一个定语从句，而who作为 talking to中的介词to的宾语。
2这里考察了一个非常典型，表示比较的句型， A is to B what C is to D。这是一个固定用法，如果你记住了这个句型，其他选项你看都不用看都知道错了。as一般引导原因状语从句，定语从句，或者让步状语从句，不引导比较性的句子。

Answer 2

A.as B.that C.what D.which
第一题B,第二题C.
第一题的it is怎么理解，帮忙分析一下句子成分。
第二题答案说是表语从句，不能理解啊，还有，为什么不选A啊
答：这个问题问得好！
第一个题句，我改一下：and it doesn't matter-->whomever= no matter whom.... 不论我与谁在说话，我一直是很诚实的，有什么说什么。
而it doesn't matter who-从句。这个who是有疑问意思的,那这个it就是形式主语，真正主语是who从句。我是跟谁在说话，这个问题没有关系。感觉这个句子不是很好。
第二题：A is to B what C is to D。这是一个句型，表示：A之于B就象C之于D. 也可以是A is to B as C is to D. 本题设计有误。

A is to B what C is to D.
来源：考试大
结构∶A is to B what C is to D.
说明∶此句型意为“A 之于 B 犹如 C 之于 D”。等于“A is to B as C is to D.”或“What C is to D (that) A is to B”或“As C is to D so is A to B”。这是为了让人明白 A 与 B 的关系，而利用人所熟知的 C 与 D 的关系来比喻的句法。what 是“A is to B”之 be <动词>的<补语>。
Exercise is to the body what thinking is to the brain.
运动和身体的关系，如同思考和头脑的关系。
What lungs are to the animal, leaves are to the plant.
就像肺是动物所不可缺的一样，叶子也是植物所不可或缺的。
As water is to the plant, so are books to me. 书和我的关系正如同水和植物的关系。

上面这一段，我记得出自钱哥川《英语疑难解答》

Answer 3

it is在这里是强调句的作用 强调人who 还原为：it is who I'm talking to
第二题是 what惯用句式：A is to B what C is to D （比喻结构）A对B之关系犹如C对D之关系
Air is to us what water is to fish. 空气对于我们犹如水对于鱼。
What salt is to the food, wit and humour are to conversation and literature. 隽语与幽默之于会话与文学，恰象盐之于食物一样。
希望对你的理解有帮助。

Answer 4

A nest is to a bird__ a house is to a man.
这是固定句式 。a对于b就像c对于d
