真题测试测试语言点：定语从句
Language is a city, ____ to the building of every human being brought a stone. (1994年1月CEIH第51题)
A. Which B. that C. it D. this
答案：选A
分析：根据句子结构分析，本题缺少的是一个引导定语从句的关系词，首先排除C、D 两项;由于题目中定语从句是非限定性的，而且关系词前有介词of，故不能用that。
翻译：语言就像一座城市，对它的建筑每个人都曾添砖加瓦。
2. Mr. Thompson is going to sell it because it is haunted.
汤普森先生之所以想卖它，是因为那里常闹鬼。
真题测试测试语言点：be going to 表示将来
— _____ leave at the end of this month.
—I don't think you should do that until_____ another job. (2006年高考北京卷，第27题)
A: I'm going to; you'd found
B: I'm going to; you'll find
C: I'll; you'll find
D: I'll; you'd find
答案：选B
分析：根据第一句话给出的时间提示at the end of this month可以得出说话双方谈论的并非是发生过的事情，由此排除A和D。如果主句动作是将来时态，until引导的时间状语从句不用将来时态，所以排除C。
翻译：一我打算月底就离开。
一我认为你没找到另一份工作前不应该那么做。
3. He told me that he could not go to sleep one night because he heard a strange noisecoining from the bar.
他告诉我有天夜里他怎么也睡不着，因为他听到酒吧里传来一阵奇怪的响声。

Parents should take seriously their children's requests for sunglasses eye protection _____ isnecessary in sunny weather. (2004年高考上海卷，第39题)
A. because B. though C. unless D. if
答案：选A
分析：根据两个分句句意“父母对孩子要太阳镜的要求应该重视”和“在阳光充足的日子里对眼睛的保护是必要的”，可知它们之间是因果关系，以及选项中四个词的含义，很容易选出A; because表原因，而though表示转折，unless和if都表示条件。
翻译：父母对孩子要太阳镜的要求应该重视，因为在阳光充足的日子里对眼睛的保护是必要的。
