1．Why！I have nothing to confess.________ you want me to say?

A．What is it that B．What it is that

3．-________ was it that the road accident happened yesterday?

-In front of the market.

A．When B．Where

C．Which D．How

答案　B

解析　本题是强调句型的特殊疑问形式，由答语in front of the market可知，强调的应是地点，故用where。

4．It was after he got what he had desired________he realized it was not so important.

A．that B．when C．since D．as
