A.similarB.variousC.distantD.famous
①解析：选B。考查固定搭配。awidevarietyof...意为“跨度极广的；多种多样的”。
②解析：选B。句意为：地理学家通常通过比较和对照地球各种各样的地方来获得信息。similar（相似的）只揭示了两者的相同、相似，未对应不同；而distant(遥远的)与famous(著名的)均与“相似与不同”不符，故排除A、C、D三项。

重点句型
8.Whicheverandwhateveryoulike,thereisathemeparkforyou!无论你喜欢哪一个，不管你喜欢什么，都会有一个适合你的主题公园！
whichever不管哪一个；任何一个。可以引导名词性从句，也可以引导让步状语从句。
Whicheverdictionaryyouwanttobuy,I’llpayforit.
无论你想买哪本词典，我都愿意付款。(引导让步状语从句)
Youcanchoosewhicheveryouwant.
你想要哪一个，就挑选哪一个。
易混辨析
whichever/whatever
这两个词的意思不同，whichever意为“无论哪个；无论哪些”；whatever意为“无论什么；凡是……的事物”。
whichever/which
whichever可以引导名词性从句或让步状语从句，which是个疑问词；用在疑问句中，或作关系代词，引导定语从句。
nomatterwhich/whichever
nomatterwhich只能引导让步状语从句；而whichever可引导让步状语从句和名词从句。nomatterwhich可以用whichever代替，但两个同时出现在选项中时，必须选whichever。

单项填空
①We’lleatatrestauranthasafreetable.（2010•01•河北南宫中学检测）
A.whichB.whatever

②ThesewildflowersaresospecialthatIwould
doIcantosavethem.
（2009•12•河北石家庄检测）
A.whateverB.that
C.whichD.whichever
①解析：选C。介词at后跟的是宾语从句，故可先排除D项，因为nomatterwhich只可引导让步状语从句。也可排除A项,which是疑问代词，用于陈述句中不合适。句意为：哪个饭馆有空桌我们就在哪儿吃吧。根据句意可知，选C。
②解析：选A。考查关联词引导宾语从句时的用法差异。that引导宾语从句时，只起连接作用，在从句中不充当任何成分。whichever意为“无论哪个”；whatever意为“无论什么”。根据句意可知，选A。
9.EveryareaoftheparkismodelledafterlifeinthedaysofKingArthurandknightsoftheRoundTable.
园内所有景区都是按照亚瑟王和圆桌骑士生活的时代复制的。
