5．It was the culture, rather than the language, ___________ made it hard for him to adapt to the new environment abroad.

A. where

B. why

C. what

D. that

【答案】 D

【解析】【分析】考查强调句型。句意：是文化，而不是语言，使得他很难适应国外的新的环境。这是一个强调句，强调句的基本结构是it is / was + 被强调部分 + that + 句子的其他成分，所以用that，所以选D。

【点评】本题要求考生在理解句义的基础上，进一步牢固掌握强调句的结构和用法。

6．It was with his iron-fist approach crimes in the southern state _______the 70-year-old man built a political name.

A. to fighting, where

B. of fighting, that

C. of fighting, where

D. to fighting, that

【答案】D

【解析】【分析】考查非谓语动词和强调句式。approach to doing sth.做某事的方法。句意：这位70岁的老人在南方打击犯罪的铁拳方法使其确立了自己的政治名声。此句是强调句式，所以第二空填that，故选D。

【点评】强调句型。1.在英语中，我们常用It is/was… who/that结构来突出强调句子的某一成分（一般是句子中主语，宾语或状语）。在这个句型中，it没有词汇意义，只是引出被强调的成分。如果被强调的成分是表示人的词，用who或that来连接都可以。如果是其它成分，则一律用that来连接。It is my mother who/that cooks every day.是我的妈妈每天做饭；It was yesterday that Tom passed in the maths exam.是昨天汤姆通过了数学考试。2.被强调成分是主语，who/that之后的谓语动词应该在人称和数上与原句中的主语保持一致。It is I who am right.It is he who is wrong. It is the students who are lovely.3.被强调部分既包括人又包括物，用that不用who。lt was the things and people that they remembered that they were talking about.

7．It was only with the help of the local guide _______.

A. was the mountain climber rescued

B. that the mountain climber was rescued

C. when the mountain climber was rescued

D. then the mountain climber was rescued

【答案】B

【解析】【分析】此处only with the help of the local guide是被强调的部分。原句可改为：The mountain climber was rescued only with the help of the local guide.句意：只有在当地导游的帮助下，那些登山运动员才能得救。

8．I just wonder that makes him so excited.

A. why it does

B. what he does

C. how it is

D. what it is

【答案】D

【解析】【分析】本题题干相当于I just wonder what makes him so excited.的意义, 所以该题实际上为强调句型的特殊疑问句式, what为宾语从句的连接词且在从句中作主语。
