新概念英語(yǔ)第二冊(cè)逐句精講語(yǔ)言點(diǎn) 第66課(1)

　　Lesson 66: Sweet as honey 像蜜一樣甜

　　In 1963 a Lancaster bomber crashed on Wallis Island, a remote place in the South Pacific, a long way west of Samoa. The plane wasn't too badly damaged, but over the years, the crash was forgotten and the wreck remained undisturbed. Then in 1989, twenty-six years after the crash, the plane was accidentally rediscovered in an aerial survey of the island. By this time, a Lancaster bomber in reasonable condition was rare and worth rescuing. The French authorities had the plane packaged and moved in parts back to France. Now a group of enthusiasts are going to have the plane restored. It has four Rolls-Royce Merlin engines, but the group will need to have only three of them rebuilt. Imagine their surprise and delight when they broke open the packing cases and found that the fourth engine was sweet as honey — still in perfect condition. A colony of bees had turned the engine into a hive and it was totally preserved in beeswax!

　　真題測(cè)試 測(cè)試語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)：同位語(yǔ)從句

　　Some researchers believe that there is no doubt( )a cure for AIDS will be found.

　　(2005年高考廣東卷，第34題)

　　A. which B. that C. ^iiat D. whether

　　答案：選B

　　分析：從題意中不難看出a cure for AIDS will be found應(yīng)該是同位語(yǔ)從句。根據(jù)doubt 的習(xí)慣用法：肯定句中doubt后面的從句常用whether/if引導(dǎo);no / not doubt后 面的從句常用that引導(dǎo)，所以選B。

　　翻譯：一些研究者認(rèn)為，毫無(wú)疑問(wèn)將會(huì)找到治療艾滋病的方法。
