1. Many of the creatures in Rowling’s world are not real, and much of what happens is strange.(Reading)
[考點] 連接代詞what引導的從句不僅可以作動詞的賓語，也可以作介詞的賓語, 其本身可在從句中作主語、賓語或表語等成分。
[考例] A modern city has been set up in ________ was a wasteland ten years ago.（天津2004）
A. what B. which
C. that D. where
[點撥] 選A。由題意可知，此處為從句作介詞in的賓語，且從句缺主語，故選what。注意：that引導賓語從句時，一般在從句中不作成分，只起引導從句的作用。
2. JK Rowling has written a series of books about Harry Potter, a boy with a scar on his forehead and a secret past. (Reading)
[考點] with a scar on his forehead是with的復合賓語結構,它是 “獨立主格”結構的一種形式。賓語補足語除了介詞短語之外，還可以是形容詞、副詞、-ing形式、過去分詞、不定式等。

[考點] if only意為“但愿；真希望；要是……就好了”，表示強烈的愿望，后接從句，從句謂語用虛擬語氣（與現在事實相反用過去時；與過去事實相反用過去完成時；與將來事實相反用could/would+動詞原形）。如：
If only my parents were here now.
真希望我的父母現在就在這里。
If only I had come five minutes earlier. 要是我早來五分鐘就好了。

[考點] as if表示“好像；仿佛”，引導表語從句或方式狀語從句，有時還可以接不定式。注意：as if引導方式狀語從句時，從句謂語常用虛擬語氣。如：
