單項填空
there is little water that it is not enough for many people. （•01•山東青島模塊檢測）
such; so b. so; so c. such; such d. so; such
解析：選b。此處 little 意為“少”，所以第一個空要用so修飾；第二個空后面為many修飾名詞，故也用so。
12. then he cuts off the leather top of the shoe as if it were the finest steak.
然后他把皮鞋上端的皮子切下來，就像是切下一塊最好的牛排。
句中as if引導狀語從句。as if從句中的內容有時有主觀想像或夸大性的比喻，此時從句中常用虛擬語氣。若從句中的動詞與主句謂語動詞同時發生，則從句謂語動詞用過去時；若先于主句則用過去完成時，若后于主句，則用過去將來時。
he looks as if he were an artist.(同時)
他看起來就像是一位藝術家。
he speaks english so fluently as if he had studied english in america.(先于)他說英語如此流利好像他在美國學過一樣。
he learns english so hard as if he would go to the usa.(后于)他學英語如此努力就像他會去美國一樣。
