复合句
(全国一卷)
31. You are saying that everyone should be equal, and this is _______I disagree.
A. why B. where C. what D. how
此题重点考查表语从句关联词的选择与对动词disagree用法的掌握情况。该题有一定难度,误选C的考生占一定比例。主要原因是受中文影响,即“我不同意你说的人人平等。” 如何选择从句中的连词与清楚地理解从句中的动词用法有着密切的关系。disagree是不及物动词,表示在某一点上“不同意”,所以该题正确答案应该选B( where),表示“你说人人平等,在这一点上我不敢苟同。”
(全国二卷)
23. There were dirty marks on her trousers______ she had wiped her hands.
A. where B. which C. when D. that
此题考查定语从句的用法。从句中的动词“wiped sth on sth”提供了清楚的语境,所以选择A(where)作为关系副词引导定语从句指代“在裤子上”。
(全国一卷)
23. The English play ____my students acted at the New Year’s party was a great
success.
A. for which B. at which C. in which D. on which
答案为C。定语从句是高中语法学习的重点,也是历届高考测试的热点。
定语从句的考查点为关联词的运用,使用好关联词关键是要理解关联词在从
句中的作用。从句中的动词 act表示“表演一部戏”时与介词的搭配为 “act in a
play”,所以该题引导定语从句的关联词为in which。
(北京卷)
31. We cannot figure out _______ quite a number of insects, birds, and animals are dying out.
A. that B. as C. why D. when
此题考查宾语从句关联词的选择。从主句中的cannot figure out可以判断出应该选择why,说明我们不明白到底什么原因使那么多的动物渐渐灭绝。
(湖南卷)
23. I work in a business_____ almost everyone is waiting for a great chance.
A. how B. which C. where D. that
此题的先行词为business,定语从句还原便可清晰看到该句为“almost everyone is waiting for a great chance in the business”,先行词在定语从句中作地点状语,所以选择C.(where)。
24. I think Father would like to know _____I’ve been up to so far, so I decide to send him a quick note.
A. which B. why C. what D. how
此题关键是理解be up to的含义,根据题干所给的具体语境be up to的意思
为“忙于……从事于……”。所以选C(what )代替介词to后的宾语。
(上海卷)
36. America women usually identify their best friend as someone _____they can talk frequently.
A. who B. as C. about which D. with whom
考查点为定语从句。C选项干扰比较大,误选C的考生主要是没有认真理解
从句动词,而受主句as的干扰。还原定语从句为”they can talk with them”, 所以
正确答案为D(with whom)。
2)习惯用语的辨析能力
(全国一卷)
26. ---How about eight o’clock outside the cinema?
---That _____ me fine.
A. fits B. meets C. satisfies D. suits
考查点为动词辨析。动词satisfy和 meet都有“满足”的意思,根据题义可以排除。动词fit和 suit都有“适合,合适”的意思,fit常用于表示衣服合身,而suit的含义比较广,有“对……合适,对……方便”的意思。选择D(suit)符合该题的上下文。
(全国二卷)
33. I must be fat---I can _____ do my trousers up.
A. fairly B. hardly C. nearly D. seldom
考查在特定语境中恰当使用副词的能力。根据题干第一句句意:“我一定是发胖了”,第二句应该表示胖的程度:“裤子要系不上了”。A 和C不符合题意,seldom是频度副词,而hardly既是频度副词,也是程度副词,因此最佳答案为B(hardly)。
(全国三卷)
28. The faces of four famous American presidents on Mount Rushmore can be seen from a _____ of 60 miles.
A. length B. distance C. way D. space
考查点为近义词在特定语境中的用法。根据题干60 miles的暗示,此处需要
一个代表“距离”的名词,所以选B(distance)符合题义。
3)识记、理解并灵活使用固定搭配的能力
(全国一卷)
32. You can take anything from the shelf and read, but please _____the books when you’ve finished with them.
A. put on B. put down C. put back D. put off
该试题考查理解运用动词词组的能力。在准确分析语境的前提下,动词词组
掌握得比较好,选出正确答案C是不难的。动词词组很多,而且每个词组常常
有几个甚至更多的含义,所以要很好地掌握它们的意思,只靠死记硬背不行,
要在大量语言材料输入的同时,观察和体验这些短语在特定语境中的用法。
(全国二卷)
26. The forest guards often find campfires that have not been _____completely.
A. turned down B. put out C. put away D. turned over
根据题干语境,可以判断该空应该填“扑灭”,所以答案为B。
(重庆卷)
26. Before the war broke out, many people _____in safe places possessions they could not take with them.
A. threw away B. put away C. gave away D. carried away
分析句子不难看出,该句的意思是“把目前不用的东西收拾起来,以备将来
用。” in safe places是关键词,所以选B(put away)。
(北京卷)
35. I don’t _____rock’n’roll. It’s much too noisy for my taste.
A. go after B. go away with C. go into D. go in for
正确答案为“go in for”,意思为 “从事,参加”。
3)英语口语交际能力
(天津卷)
21. ---How often do you eat out?
---, but usually once a week.
A. Have no idea B. It depend C. As usual D. Generally speaking
通过对话中usually的理解,可以排除C、D选项。But可以排除A选项。
正确答案为 B. (It depend)意思为“视情况而定”。
(湖北卷)
35. ---Will $200_____?
---I’m afraid not. We need at least 50 more dollars.
A. count B. satisfy C. fit D. do
Sth will do是一种比较固定的说法,在口语表达中比较常见,意思为“……
够了,……行了”。
通过分析可以看出单项填空试题考查的能力可以具体归纳为三个方面:
a.特定语境中理解运用语法知识的能力;
b.特定语境中理解运用词汇知识的能力;
c.特定语境中理解运用日常交际用语的能力。
该试题考查趋势:考查点由强调语法结构向灵活的语言运用转移、词义理解
设问更加灵活多变。
