It was only after he had read the papers_____________________ Mr. Gross realized the task before him was extremely difficult to complete.
【答案】that
【解析】去掉了It was及設(shè)空處之后，句子結(jié)構(gòu)仍完整，由此可見，此句是對only修飾的時間狀語從句的強調(diào)。句意為：只有在讀了這些文件之后，格羅斯先生才意識到他面臨的任務(wù)很難完成。
4.——Was it by cutting down staff _______________________she saved the firm?
-No, it was by improving work efficiency.
【答案】that
【解析】分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，問句為強調(diào)句型的一般疑問句形式：Was it+被強調(diào)部分+that+其他？被強調(diào)部分為by cutting down staff故填that。句意為：——是不是通過裁員她才拯救了公司的命運？——不是，是通過提高工作效率。

【答案】do
【解析】句意為：護士們不僅想要漲工資，還想減少工作時間。在no only...but also...句型中，當(dāng)not only置于句首時，句子要用部分倒裝。根據(jù)下文中的時態(tài)可知，這里用一般現(xiàn)在時，故填do。
7. Not once ____________________it occur to Michael that he could one day become a top student in his class.
【答案】did
【解析】否定詞not置于句首，引起部分倒裝。根據(jù)句中的could可以判斷，應(yīng)該用一般過去時，所以用助動詞did。句意為：邁克爾從來沒有想到過有一天自己會成為班上的優(yōu)秀學(xué)生之一。
8. At no time __________________they actually break the rules of the game. It was unfair to punish them.
【答案】did

11. If_____________________(accept)for the job, you'll be informed soon.
【答案】accepted
【解析】句意為：如果（你）得到了這份工作，你不久就會得到通知的。根據(jù)句意可知，accept和其邏輯主語you之間是被動關(guān)系，應(yīng)用過去分詞accepted。此處實際上是條件狀語從句if you are accepted for the job的省略形式。

三、 短文改錯
It was on Sunday so I didn't have to go to school as usually. My parents went to the countryside to see my grandparents , left me alone . After finishing my homework , I began to play football at home. All of a sudden, I kicked the ball so hardly that it flew right onto a vase and broke it. It was great favorite of my mother's. I decided to tell my parents it was the fault of the cat for fear that she should punish me. Therefore, when they got home, I hesitated for a moment and told them that truly happened. Instead of punishing me, they just hoped that I will never make so a foolish mistake again.
?
【答案】
第一處：刪除on句意為：那天是星期天，所以我不必像往常一樣去學(xué)交。此處泛指星期天，不是指“在星期天”，故將介詞on刪除第二處：usually→usual as usual為固定短語，意為“像往常一樣”。故將usually改為usual。
第三處：left→leaving,句意為：我的父母去鄉(xiāng)下看祖父母，留我一個人在家呆著。句中已有謂語動詞went,因此leave應(yīng)用非謂語動詞形式；leave的邏輯主語為my parents,與leave之間為主動關(guān)系，故用現(xiàn)在分詞作結(jié)果狀語。故將left改為leaving
第四處：hardly→hard根據(jù)句意，這里應(yīng)用hard修飾動詞kicked,意為“用力地”；而hardly意為“幾乎不，幾乎沒有”，不符合語境。故將hardly改為hard。
第五處：在great前加a分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，favorite在此為名詞，意為特別喜愛的人或事物”，為可數(shù)名詞，其前需加不定冠詞a。
第六處：she→they 句意為：我決定告訴我的父母是貓咪的錯，怕他們會懲罰我。此處punish的主語應(yīng)為前面的parents,應(yīng)用they指代。故將she改為they
第七處：Therefore→However根據(jù)后文可知，作者并沒有告訴父母是貓咪的錯，故應(yīng)用表示轉(zhuǎn)折意義的however。故將Therefore改為However
第八處：that→what told them后為賓語從句，且從句中happened缺少主語，應(yīng)用what引導(dǎo)。故將that改為what
第九處：will→would根據(jù)前面的hoped可知這里用would表示過去將來。
第十處：so→such a foolish mistake為名詞詞組，應(yīng)用such修飾。故將so改為such。
