1. _______ born in China, the boy was brought up in the USA.

A. AlthoughB. SinceC. As D. When

【翻译】虽然这个男孩是在北京出生的，但却是在美国长大的。

［考点］状语从句

【精析】A分析句意可知，本句应为although引导的让步状语从句，表示“虽然，即使”的意思。因为主从句主语和谓语一致，所以从句中although后省略了“the boy was”。although与but不能同时出现。since和as均引导原因状语从句，as也可引导让步状语从句，但是需用倒装形式；when引导时间状语从句。

2. _______ is known to all, haste makes waste.

A. What B. That C. AsD. Which

【翻译】众所周知，欲速则不达。

［考点］词语搭配

【精析】C常用搭配“As is known to all”意思“众所周知”，是as引导的非限制性定语从句，as指代逗号后面的整个主句，并在从句中充当主语。如：As is known to all, war is serious.众所周知，战争是残酷的。

3. That is the very old woman _______ house was burned down last night.

A. which B. her C. of whomD. whose

4. Hardly had he finished his speech _______ the audience started cheering.

A. than B. then C. whenD. as soon as

A. As he reading B. At his reading

C. As readingD. On reading

［考点］词语搭配

6. The spacecraft will send back _______ on surface winds and temperatures.

A. many new information B. some new information C. a new information D. a few new information

【翻译】太空飞船将会发送一些新的关于表面风和温度的信息。

［考点］词语搭配
