(分数:2.00)
 A.that
 B.it
 C.what

(分数:2.00)
 A.all that 
 B.all which
 C.all what

(分数:2.00)
 A.which
 B.that
 C.what 
 D.where
解析:解析:本题考查what引导的表语从句。本句中表语从句缺主语,选择what来起相应的作用。特别注意:that在名词性从句中只起引导词的作用,不能在从句中作任何成分,所以不能选that。

(分数:2.00)
 A.Although
 B.Whatever
 C.As
 D.However

(分数:2.00)

 B.for which
& which
