　　A．are; are

　　B．is; is

　　C．is; are

　　D．are; is

　　答案：D　考查主謂一致。an average of＋可數名詞復數時，其后的謂語動詞應該用復數；the average of＋可數名詞復數時，其后的謂語動詞則應該用單數。such是指代前面的這樣一件事，所以視為單數，故其后謂語動詞應該用單數。

　　13．(2024·淄博模擬)After a quick ________ at the bill, she paid it.

　　A．gaze

　　B．stare

　　C．glance

　　D．glare

　　答案：C　考查動詞詞義。句意：迅速地掃了一眼賬單后，她就付了錢。glance at“匆匆看一眼；粗略地掃一眼”，符合題意。gaze at“凝視；注視”；stare at“凝視；盯著看”；glare at“怒視；瞪眼看”。

　　C．Yes, it is worth the time

　　D．No, as long as it doesn't take long

　　答案：D　本題考查交際用語的用法。句意：——你介意我問幾個與購物習慣有關的問題嗎？——不介意，只要不耽擱很長時間。A、B、C三項答語均與問句矛盾。

　　15．(2024·蚌埠高三質檢)—The patient looks much better. ________ is it that has made him ________ he is today?

　　—I think it is the medicine and patient care.

　　A．What; that

　　B．That; that

　　C．What; what

　　D．That; what

　　答案：C　句意：——病人看起來好多了，是什么使得他成為今天這個樣子的？——我覺得是藥物和耐心照料(的緣故吧)。如果將問句變為陳述句，則出現It is ________ that has made him ________ he is today.很明顯，第一個空考查強調句型中的特殊疑問詞；第二個空則要引導從句作賓補，從句中缺少表語，故用關系詞what。
