carlton

the only person i know who has a skeleton in the cupboard is George Carlton, and he is very proud of the fact.

选择:

...George Carlton, and it is_____ he is very proud of.

A. the fact B. something C. that which D. what

正确答案是B

这道题为什么不选A?

答:新概念英语原来并没有这些选择题的。是中国人后来编的。这原句意为:

The only person i know who has a skeleton in the cupboard is George Carlton, and he is very proud of the fact.

我所认识的唯一的在柜中藏骷嵝的人便是乔治-卡尔顿,并且他还为此感到非常自豪。

现在将这句话的后一个分句进行换一种说法:

The only person i know who has a skeleton in the cupboard is George Carlton, and it is ____ he is very proud of.

A. the fact B. something C. that which D. what

我所认识的唯一的在柜中藏骷嵝的人便是乔治-卡尔顿,而且它是他感到非常自豪的_____。

其实上句中的it用得不太好。因为不知道它指代的是什么。是the skeleton还是“他在柜中藏

有a skeleton”这个事实(the fact)?所以造成选择的困难。其实D也不错啊!

改编过的,加了中国特色的选择题的新概念英语中的有些选择题,质量并不好,别去深究了。
