2020年成人高考英语提升试题及答案（9）——本文精选内容均为WORD文档，下载后可直接编辑使用——资料内容如下：2020年成人高考英语提升试题及答案（9）1. ___ was not the way the event happened.A. Which the press reportedB. That the press reportedC. What did the press reportD. What the press reported【答案】D 此题考查what引导的名词性从句作主语的情况。

What 引导的名词性从句可以理解为：what=the thing that, what the press reported=the thing that the press reported, that 在这里引导定语从句修饰the thing，that 在定语从句中代替the thing作report的宾语，而the thing作这个句子的主语，谓语动词是后面的was。

A项和B项可以排除，what the press reported：媒体所报道的(内容)。

主与从句不需要用倒装形式，故C项克排除2. We were not surprised at ___, for he had worked so hardA. what has he achievedB. what he had achievedC. that what he had achievedD. that he had achieved【答案】B。

宾语从句要用陈述句的语序，what在从句中做宾语，所以选B。

3. I know Jonathan quite well and never doubt _____ he can do a good job of itA. whetherB. thatC. whenD. what【答案】B。
