It was the hurricane ________ was called Sandy ________ left at least 10 people dead and hundreds of thousands without power on the eastern coast of America.
A.which; that
B.what; which
C.which; who
D.that; which
答案:A
题目分析:句意:被称为Sandy的飓风引起了10人死亡,美国的东海岸成千上万的用户已经停电。第一空是定语从句,先行词是the hurricane,关系代词在从句中做主语,所以which或that;what不能引导定语从句。第二空是that,这是强调句型,被强调部分是主语,主语后有一个定语从句,故选A。
点评:本题难度适中。强调句型是高中阶段的重难点之一,它的考查往往与定语从句放在一起,而是句子更加复杂,需要考生有分析理解句子结构的能力。
