【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】通览全文。“Fiat had been…”是谓语及物动词admitted的宾语从句。由于下一道题的空白处是一个过去分词，所以，连接宾语从句的只能是that了。
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】A．involved牵连；to be involved in sth. 与某事件有牵连，正确。B．connected联系；习惯用法应为：be connected with sth. ；C．related关联，搭配词组是to be related to sth. ；D．done用在此处意思不明。
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】talk与about连用后方可接宾语。say后的宾语只能用something，nothing之类的代词，以及宾语从句。speak后接of或about等介词后才能带宾语。D．discuss讨论，是及物动词，是唯一正确的答案。
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】one用于此处与事实不符；single单独的，唯一的。用于此处不符合惯用法。其用法如：She didn't speak a single word the whole day. 她整髂一天没说一句话。又如：She buys a single new dress each year.她每年仅买一件新衣；worst最坏的；这里不存在哪家公司的腐败行为最糟之类的问题。only唯一的，与single是同义词．但用法上有异。
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】A．as a result是一个同定用语，起连接作用，意为：结果。又可组成介词短语：as a result of；for与a result没有搭配关系；with也不与其搭配：after用于此处不知所云。
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】根据上下文意思判断，这个句子是说：“另外还有好几百人正在调查之中。”在调查之中，习惯说法是under investigation. 又如：欧亚大陆桥正在建造之中。英语是：The Euro-Asian landbridge is under construction.
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】从语法角度来分析这个句子中，“the scandal at the company has…”是主句。因此，“sales are equal to 4% of Italy's home product”只能是一个从句。这个从句只能是Fiat的定语。从四个选译项中，只有whose可以引导这个定语从句。
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】A．rocked震动。B．ruined毁坏。C．damaged损坏。D．destroyed摧毁。从这个句子的意思来推敲，“那件丑闻震动了工业界”是可以的，但后面三个词太严重了，有言过其实之嫌。
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】从搭配用法和语法上分析，这是neither…nor…连接两个主语：Mr. Agnelli和Mr. Romiti。由neither…nor…连接两个词作主语时，谓语与最靠近它的那个主语进行人称、性、数的配合。
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】从整个句子的意思来判断，这两个人被指控有过错。从惯用法的角度来看，搭配各不相同，be accused of被指控；be charged with被指控；be criticized for因某事而挨批；blame这个词用于被动态，其主动态可表示被动的意义。如：For this car accident, the driver of the truck is to blame，对这起交通事故，卡车司机应受惩罚。
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】从全句来看，include是句中的谓语；从此可推断，主语是一个复数的代词。四个选择项中只有those符合这个条件。Who虽然可以表示复数的概念．但不会作include这个动词的主语。
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】A．old旧的，年老的。B former前任的。C．late已逝的。D．last上一个。从意思上来分析，former恰当。
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】这一句紧接上一句，说Francesco Mattiol和Antonio Mosconi两人。指两者的，唯有both一词，因为either指的是两者中的任何一个。All和every均指三者或更多。
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】A．solved解决；B．answered回答；C．questioned审问；D replied答复。从意义上来分析，solved用于问题被解决。answered问题被回答，或某人被给予了答复。question可表示某人或某事被审问。而replied一般不用于被动态。
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】A．contact联系，表示朋友之间的通信联系，故不可用于此句；B．related，与……联系，后接介词；C．connected连接，后接介词with；D．communicated联结表示交通、互相联络。一般不用于被动态，而且后面常接的介词是with。
