2.The poor young man is ready to accept ______ help he
can get.
A.whichever B.however
C.whatever D.whenever
解析:
A项为“不论哪个”,B项是连词,意为“然而,可是”,C项为“任何的事或物”,D项为“无论什么时候”。accept是及物动词,后缺宾语。后面的宾语从句又缺宾语,首先排除B和D,根据句意排除A选C。
答案:C
3.The other day, my brother drove his car down the street
at ______ I thought was a dangerous speed.
A.as B.which
C.what D.that

答案:C
4.Having a trip abroad is certainly good for the old couple,
but it remains ___ whether they will enjoy it.
A.to see B.to be seen
C.seeing D.seen
解析:
根据题意,那对老夫妇是否到国外旅行是将来的动作,应使用不定式,故排除掉C、D两项;又因remains的逻辑主语it是动词see说表示动作的承受者,即“到国外旅行”这件事,这件事有待于“被决定”,应使用动词不定式的被动形式。可把It
remains to be seen…当作句型来记。
答案:B
