1.(2019·南通调研)Now all of our concentration is on ________ it is that the global environment will return to normal.
A.which B.what
C.where D.when
D 解析:句意:现在我们的注意力都集中在地球环境何时回归到正常状态。空及空后是介词on的宾语从句,宾语从句又用的是强调句型。强调句型特殊疑问句的结构为:特殊疑问词+is/was+it+that+不被强调的部分。由于题干中的强调句作宾语从句,应用陈述语序。从句中缺少时间状语,也就是缺少被强调的部分。故选D。
2.(2019·淮安调研)The three travelers finally reached the home of Bertha’s mother around dusk, ________ 65 miles in less than 12 hours.
A.covering B.having covered
C.to cover D.to have covered
B 解析:考查现在分词完成时作状语。因为cover与three travelers是主动关系,并且发生在谓语动词动作之前,故选B。
