A.a; a; /
B.a; an; the
C.a; an; / √
D.an; an; /
【解析】 European 是辅音开头,所以前面用不定冠词a,表示“一个欧洲人”; American
元音开头,前面用不定冠词an,表示“一个美国人”;第三个空指他来自澳大利亚,前面不
用冠词。故选C。
2._____the 2008 Olympic Games will be held in Beijing is quite clear to the people

A.Except for
B.Except

一般放在句中; Beside 表示“在旁边;与⋯ ⋯ 相比”; Apart from 有两种意思: (1) “除
了⋯ ⋯ 外( 都) ,若不是”,相当于except for ;(2) “除了⋯ ⋯ 之外( 还) ,此外”,
相当于besides 。本句句意为除了煤以外,最重要的天然燃料是天然气和石油。因此答案为
D。

C.does you
D.can you

常用于“ There is no doubt ⋯ ”,均不符合题意。

因此答案为A。

能引导同位语从句。
35.There is no evidence______he was on the site of the murder.
