語(yǔ)，前面的il只是個(gè)形式賓語(yǔ)，替代后面真正的賓語(yǔ)。這個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，只有選項(xiàng)E

才符合此句法特點(diǎn)，因此答案為E。

10、

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：根據(jù)此句的句子結(jié)構(gòu)分析，這里的句子本身是完整的，填寫(xiě)部分應(yīng)該

是狀語(yǔ)。在選項(xiàng)中，只有C是because引導(dǎo)的原因狀語(yǔ)從句，意思是美元貶值，兌

11、

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：根據(jù)此句的句子結(jié)構(gòu)分析，這里需要填入定語(yǔ)從句，修飾poor

12、

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：H

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：根據(jù)此句的句子結(jié)構(gòu)分析，這里需要填入賓語(yǔ)從句，而且為了和后面
