21、B
[ 考点] 固定搭配
[ 解析] avoid doing sth.为固定搭配，表示 “避免做某事 ”，应该使用动词 ing 形式，故选 B。空格处为宾语从句中的谓语部分， 考查动词 avoid 的用法，要牢记常跟 doing 的动词，如，enjoy ，finish等。
22、A
[ 考点] 让步状语从句
[ 解析] 句中no matter 引导的是状语从句， it 指代主句中的 HR department，根据句意此处应为让步关系，故选 A。no matter how+形容词 / 副词+主语+谓语(+ 宾语) ，表示无论怎样; no matter what+主语+谓语，表示无论什么; no matter 、where 表示无论在哪里; no matter which 表示无论是哪个。
23、D
[ 考点] 语态和时态
[ 解析] 空格处为主句的谓语部分， 主语为 inspections(检查) ，谓语部分应使用被动语态; 并且，根据从句时态可以判断，主句时态为一般现在时。故选D。首先根据句意判断空格处在句中的成分，判断出所选为谓语部分后，再根据已有信息考虑主动或者被动语态的选择，并根据句中的时间信息选择合适的时态。
24、C
[ 考点] 固定搭配
[ 解析] either...or...为固定搭配，表示 “或者…或者”。前面出现了 either，故选 C。either...or和neither...nor都是固定搭配， 后者表示 “两者都不 ”，考生除了牢记语义上的差别，也要从搭配上记忆。
25、B
[ 考点] 从句谓语时态
[ 解析] 根据句意，噪音正在进行，所以听不到说话是同时发生的，前面用过去进行时，后面也应用过去进行时，故选 B。so...that...为固定搭配，表示 “如此…以至于 ”，说明噪音太大而干扰了两人的正常对话。
26、C
[ 考点] 连接代词 what
[ 解析] 空格处为表语从句的主语部分，指代company culture，为事物，故选 C。what 的用法很多，除了用作疑问词，或用在感叹句中外，还可以用作前置定语，表示“什么，怎样的”，或引导主语从句，宾语从句，表语从句等名词性从句。
27、D
[ 考点] 同位语从句
[ 解析] news 与横线后面的内容为互指关系，且后面的句子成分完整，故选D。
一般情况下， news ，idea ，story ，promise ，hope ，message 等名词之后， 常跟同位语从句，关系代词选择 that 。
28、B
[ 考点] 虚拟语气
[ 解析] 从句意判断，句中内容为假设， “我”不可能成为 “你”，与事实不符，因此考虑使用虚拟语气，故选B。与现在事实相反，主句谓语用 should/would/could/might+动词原形，从句谓语动词用一般过去式， be动词一律用 were 。
29、C
[ 考点] 固定搭配
[ 解析] too...to为固定搭配，意为 “太…而不能 …”，根据句意应该是 “你”没有时间参加会议，才需要派助理替 “你”参加，故选 C。very 后面跟形容词或副词， 表示程度;so 经常和 “that+ 从句”连用，表示“如此…以至于 …”;more经常用在单音节或双音节的比较级前面。
30、D
[ 考点] 固定搭配
[ 解析] have sth. done为固定搭配，意为 “某事被完成 ”，故选 D。have sth. doing和have sth. done同为固定搭配，但是前者强调的是状态的持续性，而后者是动作被完成。
