1. D 考查状语从句。句意：他们拓展他们的技能是为了他们能够把事情做的越来越好。后面的从句表示目的，只有D符合题意。2. C 考查so…that的用法。enough...to“足够做……”；as...as...“和……一样”；so...that...“如此……以至……”。由句意：－你学习如此的努力以至于你肯定能通过考试。－谢谢你这么说。故选C。
3.B 考查定语从句引导词的词义辨析 。本题句意为：“Underground”是英语这种语言中唯一一个以“und”开头和结尾的单词。分析句子结构可知，“_______ begins and ends with the letters “und””在此是定语从句，其先行词是前面的 the only word而不 是in the English language，先行词中有修饰词only时，定语从句应用引导词that。故选B项。
