答案A. it指代if从句所表述的内容,是充当形式宾语.真正的宾语是:if you could let me know in advance whether or not you will come. I'd appreciate it if…属于固定句式,表示"假如…我将不胜感激". 故选:A。
[点评]
考查代词辨析及语境理解.appreciate后跟接if或when从句时,其后不直接跟if或when引导的从句,若语义上需要接这类从句,需借助it.如:I would appreciate it very much if you would help me with it.如果你能帮助我做这事,我会十分感激.We really appreciate it when she offered to help.她来帮忙了,我们十分感激.
