A. is B. are C. have D. has 答案与解析　A　分析句子结构可知，专有名词the European Union是句子的主语，谓语动词应用单数形式。由此结合固定短语be made up of可排除C、D两项，空格处应用is。故答案选A。 2．(2013·海口调研)David said that it was because of his strong interest in literature ________ he chose the course. A. that B. what C. why D. how 答案与解析　A　句意：David说正是由于对文学的强烈兴趣他才选择了这门课程。本题是强调句式“it was ... that”，强调原因状语“because of his strong interest in literature”。故答案选A。 3．(2013·乌鲁木齐三诊)Mother reminds, “________ rain, take an umbrella.” as spring approaches. A. Shall it B. It shall C. Should it D. It should 答案与解析　C　句意：春天来临时母亲提醒：“要是下雨，就带上雨伞吧。”根据语境可知，母亲的提醒是对未来情况的假设，故用“If sth./sb. should＋动词原形”形式，其中if可以省略，将should提前构成倒装。故C项正确。 4．(2013·兰州高三诊断)He jumped at the opportunity when he saw the advertisement in a newspaper, because barely ________ make ends meet. A. he could B. could he C. he couldnt D. shouldnt he 答案与解析　B　句意：当他看到报纸上的广告时高兴地跳了起来，因为他几乎不能收支相抵了。barely为否定意义的副词，意为“几乎不”，位于句首时后面的句子要倒装。故答案选B。 5．(2013·北京西城区二模)— Why wasnt John hired for the job? — I dont know, but he ________. A. was B. had been C. should have D. should have been 答案与解析　D　句意：——为什么John没被录用？——不知道，他应该被录用的。should＋have done意为“本应该……而没有做”，原句应为：he should have been (hired)。故答案选D。 6．(2013·东北三省二模)How time flies！Its in two months ________ well say goodbye to our high school life. A. before B. that C. until D. when 答案与解析　B　分析句子结构可知，本句是一个强调句，被强调部分是时间状语“in two months”，强调句的基本构成是“It is/was＋被强调部分＋that/who＋其他”。故B项正确。 7．(2013·长沙高考模拟)Only when he returned ________ that the war had ended and the army had come back. A. we tell B. we told C. did we tell D. were we told 答案与解析　D　句意：只有当他回来时，我们才被告知战争已经结束，并且军队已经回来了。only强调时间状语放在句首时需倒装。另外我们是“被”告知，应用被动语态。故选D项。 8．(2013·河北质监二)The woman, together with her husband and two children, all looking anxious, ________ the guard to let them through then.
