A. what B. which C. that D. where
【答案】D。
【考点】考查同位语从句。
【解析】where在此引导同位语从句，用以修饰名词idea。从语法上看，A不能选，因为what不用于引导同位语从句；从意义上看，只有填where句意最通顺。句意为：明天是汤姆的生日。你知道生日聚会在哪里举行吗？

―Yeah. Every boy and girl in the area ______ invited. (2008陕西卷)
A. were B. have been C. has been D. was
【答案】D。
【考点】考查动词时态和主谓一致。
【解析】此题既考查时态的用法，同时又考查主语一致。根据问句中的时态和last night这一短语可知，此处谈的是昨晚的事，故应用一般过去时，而不用现在完成时。另外，根据英语语法，当两个或多个名词并列作主语，且受到every的修饰时，其后谓语动词要用单数。故答案选D。
