is a pity           you didn't attend the lecture last night. It was wonderful.

What; that

It; that

What; why

It; why

考查固定句型。句意：很遗憾，你昨晚没去听讲座。那太美妙了。此处为句型“It is a pity that.....”，表示“遗憾的是....", It 作形式主语，that 引导主语从句是真正的主语，从句句意完整，成分齐全，that不做成分，仅起引导作用。故选B项。

It’s his brother ______ never been to Australia. You’d better take him with you.

that is

who is

that have 　

 who has

句意：就是他的弟弟从没去过澳大利亚。你最好带他和你去。根据句意及题干分析此题是考查强调句型，因为强调的是his brother，是人，所以用who引导是现在完成时态，故选D。

The information tells me that the way of education in Canada is quite different from          in China.

one

it

that 

those

考察代词。句意：这条信息告诉我们在加拿大的教育方式和在中国的教育方式很不一样。前后比较的是教育方式，用that 指代the+名词。A. one 是泛指一个，B.it 指的是同一个东西，D. those指代the +名词复数。故选C项。

The small car can't         a large family inside.

suit

press

collect

fit

考查动词词义辨析。句意：这辆小汽车装不下一大家子人。A.suit 相配，合身；B.press压；C.collect 收集；D. fit合适；容纳。suit表示尺寸和大小方面适合；此处表示小汽车容纳不下一大家子人。故选D项。

used to

used to be

used to do

was used to

考查词组和省略式，used to do“过去常常’,be used to do “被用来做”，句意是：--你现在是志愿者吗？--不但我过去是，去年我为市运动会工作。可以排除D项，因为这是省略句，完整的是I used to be a volunteer。英语中如果不定式的部分是重复上文可以省略to后面的内容，但是如果to后面是be动词或助动词have，就不省略。选B。

We shouldn't take         for granted that we still have a lot of time before the Entrance Examination.

this

that

it

such

考查代词。句意：我们不应该想当然地认为在高考前我们还有很多时间。这里涉及了一个固定句型take it for granted that 认为.....是理所当然的，该句型中it 作形式宾语，真正的宾语是后面that引导的从句。故选C项。
