　　Lesson 66: Sweet as honey 像蜜一样甜

　　In 1963 a Lancaster bomber crashed on Wallis Island, a remote place in the South Pacific, a long way west of Samoa. The plane wasn't too badly damaged, but over the years, the crash was forgotten and the wreck remained undisturbed. Then in 1989, twenty-six years after the crash, the plane was accidentally rediscovered in an aerial survey of the island. By this time, a Lancaster bomber in reasonable condition was rare and worth rescuing. The French authorities had the plane packaged and moved in parts back to France. Now a group of enthusiasts are going to have the plane restored. It has four Rolls-Royce Merlin engines, but the group will need to have only three of them rebuilt. Imagine their surprise and delight when they broke open the packing cases and found that the fourth engine was sweet as honey — still in perfect condition. A colony of bees had turned the engine into a hive and it was totally preserved in beeswax!

　　A. which B. that C. ^iiat D. whether

　　答案：选B

　　分析：从题意中不难看出a cure for AIDS will be found应该是同位语从句。根据doubt 的习惯用法：肯定句中doubt后面的从句常用whether/if引导;no / not doubt后面的从句常用that引导，所以选B。

　　翻译：一些研究者认为，毫无疑问将会找到治疗艾滋病的方法。
