英语专四最常考的10大语法难题 --专四考试中出现频率最高、又比较难的10道语法题 1. My uncle is quite worn out from years of hard work. He is no longer the man ___ he was fifteen years ago. (2011/51) A. Which B. whom C. who D. that 解析：本题考察定语从句的用法。关系代词在定语从句中做表语时，无论指人还是指物，都只能用that，不用which，且that也可以省略。故选D。 Examples: China is not the country (that) it was. 中国不是从前的那个国家。 Mary is no longer the girl (that) she used to be. 玛丽不是过去的那个女孩了。 2. It is not so much the language ___ the cultural background that makes the book difficult to understand. (2011/57) A. as B. nor C. but D. like 解析：本题答案是A。本题考察短语not so much A as B，它的意思是“与其说是A，倒不如说是B”， 例如： He is not so much a writer as a reporter.他与其说是个作家、不如说是个记者。 The boy is not so much slow as careless in learning?与其说那男孩学东西迟钝，倒不如说他学习粗心。 3. Fool ____ Jerry is, he could not have done such a thing.

(2009/54) A. Whatever B. Whenever C. Whichever D. However 解析：本题答案是A。whatever 不论，不管，后面跟名词或一个名词性从句，表示让步。 例如： The building must be saved, whatever the cost. 不论花多少钱，这幢建筑物必须保存。 Whatever I suggest, he always disagrees. 不管我提什么建议，他都不同意。 CF: however adv.不管，无论，后面跟一个形容词或副词，表示让步。如： She has the window open, however cold it is outside. 不管外面多冷，她都开着窗户。 We’ll have to finish the job, however long it takes. 无论花多长时间，我们都得把这些工作做完。 5.
