The reason _______ he was late was _______ he missed the bus.
A.why, that
B.why, because
C.that, why
D.because, why
答案
答案:A
题目分析:句意:他迟到的原因是他没有赶上火车。第一空是why引导的定语从句,why在定语从句中状语,先行词是reason;第二空是that引导的表语从句,that在表语从句中不做成分。固定句式The reason why……be that…,故选A。
点评:本题难度适中。定语从句及表语从句是高中英语语法中非常重要的内容,对它们的考查关键在于分析从句的成分,需要考生有分析理解复杂的句子结构的能力。
即学即练:The reason ______ he told me for his absence did not sound believable.
A. why B. because
C. that D. whom
解析:C。句意:他告诉我他缺席的原因很难使人相信。
