考查冠词。
福岛核电站的事故应用定冠词the；而电话谈话没有指明是哪一次，因此用不定冠词表泛指。
句意为：日本表示，日本首相在一次电话谈话中承诺以“最大的透明度”向全世界通报福岛核电站的事故情况。
2．It is thought that Henan Shuanghui Industry Group Co., Ltd. ____take responsibility for its consumers.A. canB. mayC. mustD. need【解析】选C。

3. The civil war in Libya that ______on March 12 _______ for a week until now.A broke out; has lastedB breaking out ; was lastedC was broken out; has lastedD broke out; lasting【解析】选A。
考查动词的时态和语态，本句是一个主从复合句，它的时间状语是3月12日，因此定语从句的谓语用一般过去时，且break out为不及物动词短语无被动语态，因此排除B,C两项，until now 与现在完成时连用，排除D项只有A项符合题意，故选A。
4. It was not until the subprime loan crisis(次贷危机) had caused great damage to the American financial system ____ Americans realized the severity（严重性）of the situation.A. whichB. thatC. whatD. when【解析】选B。
考查强调句型。
not until the subprime loan crisis(次贷危机) had caused great damage to the American financial system是被强调部分，因此后面用that引导主句。
句意为：是直到次贷危机给美国的金融系统造成了巨大危害时美国人才意识到局势的严重性。

6．A serious forest fire broke out in Shandong, _______ the authority had to take immediate steps to protect the forest in Tai’an.A. whyB. whichC. asD. for which【解析】选D。
考查定语从句。
根据句意可知前句是后句的原因，而此处why不能引导定语从句，需用for which；which引导定语从句指代前面整句内容，并在从句中作主语或宾语，但是后面的句子主谓宾都有，所以不用关系代词which或as。
故选D。
7．Nowadays children have to take arts, music and sports classes in their free time ____ busy schoolwork.--- No wonder they have more and more pressure.A. rather thanB. owing toC. apart fromD. expect for【解析】选C。

8．The biggest full m oon of 2011 occurred on a Saturday night, ______ Chinese observers to gather outside to record the splendor.A. to leadB. ledC. leadingD. having led【解析】选C。
考查非谓语动词。

句意为：这些数据进一步证明孩子们更有可能患近视。

14．There happened earthquakes in many places recently, one of ____ in Japan.A. the othersB. themC. itD. which【解析】选B。
