He expressed his hope ________ he would visit China again the next year, and this was the very hope

He expressed his hope ________ he would visit China again the next year, and this was the very hope ________ he expressed as soon as he arrived in the country.
A. that; that B. which; which
C. that; which D. which; that
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查同位语从句和定语从句。句意：他表示希望明年再次访问中国，这也是他一到中国就表达的希望。分析句子可知，hope后接同位语从句，从句句意和句子成分完整，所以连接词为that。再分析句子，hope为第二个句子的先行词，且被the very修饰，且在后面的定语从中作expressed的宾语，所以关系代词只能为that。故选A项。
