语法与词汇

Even if you achieve an exceptional result, chances are whether you'll s till be unhappy, as you'll find additional reasons for not being good enough.

【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】

本题重点考查固定句型的用法。chances are+that-clause是一个固定句型结构,用 来表达说话人的态度,即认为某事可能发生,that从句是一个表语从句。名词chance以复数形式出现时的意思是“ 某事发生的可能性” 。四个选项中只有D符合chances are+ that-clause这个句型结构。
[参考译文]你即使取得了非凡的成绩,很有可能仍然会感到不幸福,因为你会发现你本来还能做得更好。
[语法拓展] 表语从句就是在一个复合句中,从句作的是主句的表语成分。表语从句的连接词有: that, what, who, when, where, which, why, whether, how, whoever, whichever, whatever等,还有because, as if, as though等。表语从句只能置于主句之后,而主句的动词只能是系动词。that在表语从句中不可以省掉。
e.g. Our suggestion is that they should stay calm .我们的建议是,他们应该保持冷静。
The question is when he can Arrive at the station.问题是,他什么时候可以到达火车站。
What she told me was that she would find me a good play .她告诉我的是她会给我找个好剧本。
That is why we failed to pass the exam.那就是我们考试不及格的原因。
