if; to answer

whether; to be answered

if; to be answered

whether; to answer

考查宾语从句和非谓语动词。句意：英语将来是否会继续变化这个问题很容易回答。第一空为宾语从句，从句中不缺少成分，表示“是否”，应用whether，if 引导的宾语从句不能充当介词的宾语，故排除A和C；第二空，这是be +性质形容词+不定式结构，这种结构中形容词说明不定式的特性，句子的主语是不定式的逻辑宾语。故选D项。

— Father, you promised!

—Well,____．But it was you who didn't keep your word first．

so did I 

so I was 

so I did

考查部分倒装“So + be/情态动词/助动词 + 主语”与表强调的“So + 主语 + be/情态动词/助动词”区别。根据语境“you promised（你许诺过）”和答语“But it was …”可知爸爸回答“我的确许诺过”，且promised是过去时，所以表强调要用助动词did,故选D。句意：——爸爸，你许诺过。——好啦，我的确许诺过。但是是你先没有遵守诺言。
