Some of the people often ask the same question the air has been polluted.
A. whether　
B. if
C. that
D. where

A. whether　B. ifC. that D. where解析：选A。考查同位语从句。句意: 人们经常问同样的问题就是空气是否已经被污染了。根据句意“问题”与“是否”搭配。此处question与the air has been polluted为同位关系, 故用whether引导。【知识拓展】通常用whether不用if的场合①引导主语从句且放在句首时。Whether he will come is still a question. 他是否会来还是个问题。注: 若在句首使用形式主语it, 而将主语从句放在句末, 则有时也可用if来引导。例如: It was not known whether[if]he would come. 不知他是否会来。②引导表语从句时。The question is whether we should go on with the work. 问题是我们是否应该继续进行这项工作。③引导让步状语从句时。Whether he agrees or not, I shall do that. 不管他同意与否, 我都要那样做。④与or连用分别引导两个从句时。例如: I don’t know whether he is wrong or she is wrong. 我不知道是他错了, 还是她错了。⑤用于不定式之前时。例如: I’m not sure whether to stay or leave. 我不知是留还是去。⑥用于介词之后时。It depends on whether the letter arrives in time. 这取决于信是否来得及时。⑦直接与or not连用时。例如: I will write to you whether or not I can come. 我能不能来, 我将写信告诉你。若不是直接与or not用在一起, 则有时也可用if。I don’t know whether[if]he will win or not. 我不知他是否能赢。⑧在某些动词后(如discuss等)通常只用whether。We discussed whether we should hold a meeting. 我们讨论了是否要开一个会。
