A. to find； left
B. to find；
gone C. finding； left

A. had worked； hadn’t B. worked； don’t

C. he did return D. he returned
答案及简析：D。此句为强调结构： It is/was…that…强调之前的句子为： He didn’t returnedto
his hometown until liberation.要注意not…until…句型变成强调句后的not的位置

well.—Will this one
_________?
译文：——我很想要一只好写的笔。 ——这只笔如何？
A. writes；do B.

happiness and value to life.
译文：众所周知，好朋友给生活增添快乐和价值。
A. It；
add B. As； add C. It； add up D. As； add to
答案及简析：B。as引导的定语从句修饰整个主句； add to sth.“使增加，使增强”； add sth to sth.“把……加到……里边”；add up to“总计是……”。因句中已有介词to，所以只能选B。
[例12] Mr. Green left _________
suddenly _________ he came.
译文：格林先生离开像来时一样突然。
A. so；
that B. so； as C. as； that D. as； as

译文：食物好，锻炼少，这就是一个人长胖的原因。

_________ the soldiers fought over sixty years ago.
译文：这就是战士们60多年前战斗过的地方。
A. that B. which C. where D. there
