2016年高考英语专题必做练习及答案(2)

18.—Was it by cutting down staff ________ she saved the firm?

A.when B.what

C.how D.that

答案　D

解析　19.This is not my story，nor ________ the whole story.My story plays out differently.(2012·四川，5)

A.is there B.there is

C.is it D.it is

答案　C

解析　考查倒装句。nor位于句首引起部分倒装，排除B、D两项;再根据句意“这并不是(关于)我的故事，它也不是故事的全部。我的故事的结局不同。”用代词it指代前面的“this story”。故选C。

20.It sounds like something is wrong with the car’s engine.________，we’d better take it to the garage immediately.(2011·江苏，33)

A.Otherwise B.If not

C.But for that D.If so

答案　D

解析　句意为：听起来好像汽车的发动机出了故障。如果这样的话，我们最好马上把它开到维修厂(修理一下)。otherwise否则，要不然;if not如果不是这样的话;but for that要不是那样。以上三项均不符合句意。if so如果这样的话，符合句意。if so相当于if something is wrong with the car’s engine。
