单项选择题及详解<9>

  1.Not until Dec. 2003 _____ caught by the US soldiers, and it was a great victory for the USA.

  A. was Saddam Hussein

  B. Saddam Hussein was

  C. had Saddam Hussein been

  D. Saddam Hussein had been

  选A。 not until位于句首时,句子要部分倒装。而时间状语Dec. 2003暗示了要用一般过去时,故此只能选A。

  2. Be careful with such things. If you _____, you’ll drop them.

  A. don’t     B. aren’t     C. won’t    D. do

  选B。本题考查学生运用省略语法的做题能力。 完整的句子为:If you aren’t (careful),you’ll drop them. 另外,条件状语从句用现在时表将来,所以排除了won’t。

  3. — Excuse me!

  — _____

  — How can I get to the nearest post office?

  A. Yes?                   B. That’s OK.

  C. What’s wrong?         D. Pardon?

  选A。由于Excuse me没有说明具体事情,所以就被反问“Yes?”“什么事?”

  4. ___________ a fine day, Shenzhou VI will be launched on time according to its planned time.

  A. Being   B. It being  C. To be  D. It is

  选B。 本题考查独立主格结构。前一分句和后一分句在逻辑上存在因果关系,可以排除答案D。因为前面的分词的逻辑主语不可能是后面一个分句的逻辑主语,故前一分句要有一个逻辑主语it表示天气。

  5. ---What’s the chief ______ of the world this year?

  ---I think the Twin- Tower was destroyed.

  A. business  B. matter  C. event  D. affair

  选C。 event 表示比较重要的事件;business表示一般性的事物,如经营方面的事情或生意等,也可以构成一定的短语,如on business, get down to business 等。matter指一般的需要解决的事情;affair指重大的国际、国内事物,经常用复数。

  6. It is ____ waste of time for young men to devote themselves to playing computer games on ___ Internet only for _____ pleasure.

  A. /; the; /     B. the; the; /     C. a; the; a       D. a; the; /

  选D。前面a waste of time/money…”为固定短语;中间为on the Internet,表示特指; 后面为for pleasure=for fun,为固定短语。

  7. He said, “_____ a long way to school. ______ a long way to go yet before we arrive.”

  A. It is; There is   B. There is ; it is    C. It is; It is      D. There is; There is

  选A。第一空it 指距离, 第二空there be 表示在 “存在”。

  8. It will be five years ____ we meet again.

  A. since         B. after          C. before      D. when

  选C。 该题意为 “ 要过五年我们才能再见面”。如果选A, since 从句中常用动词的过去式,这是个终止动词表延续的句型。本句句型是 “ It will be +时间段+before” 从句。 意为 “ 要过多久才….” 。

  9. — Did you scold him for his mistake?

  — Yes, but _____ it.

  A. I’d rather not do

  B. I’d better not do

  C. I’d rather not have done

  D. I’d better have not done

  选C。would rather接完成式表示对已发生的事情感到自责,具有虚拟的语气,其否定式在rather后加not。

  10. He often keeps English _______ ___________,

  A. week; tidily  B. weekly; orderly  C. the week; tidy  D. weeks; friendly

  选B。English weekly指《英语周报》,其中weekly为名词;keep意思是“使……处于某种状态”,故此应该使用形容词作宾补,结合句意,应该是“他的《英语周报》报纸经常保存的井井有条”。

  11. Thank you for      the trouble      me with the work.

  A. having; helping      B. taking; helping

  C. taking; to help      D. having; to help

  选C。take the trouble to do意思是“不辞辛苦地做”。

  12. You may depend       it won’t happen again.

  A. that           B. on that

  C. on it that       D. on it

  选C。depend on 意思是“依靠”,it形式宾语指代后面的that 从句。

  13. The picture of the park      memories of our class’s trip last year, when Mr. Smith began to take charge of our class.

  A. called up       B. reminded

  C. turned up       D. came up

  选A。call up 唤起对……的回忆;remind的用法是remind sb. of sth.。

  14. I suggest that that we should take part in more such activities in future       we did yesterday.

  A. which   B. as   C. that    D. than

  选B。当先行词被such修饰时,关系代词用as。

  15. He is_____as a leader but he hasn’t _____in teaching.

  A. success; many experiences

  B. a success; much experience

  C. great success; an experience

  D. a great success; a lot of experiences

  选B。抽象名词具体化,表示具有某种特征的人或事物,可用作可数名词。如:She is a success in business but a failure in marriage (她在事业上是个成功者,但在婚姻上是个失败者);experience作为“经验”解,为不可数名词。

  16.When he realized the police had seen him, the man_____the exit as quickly as possible.

  A. made up       B. made for

  C. made out      D. made off

  选B。make for…表示“向某地走去”;make off 后常接介词,表示“从……跑掉”;make out 有“看出;理解;开(收据等);进展;装出”等含义;make up有“编造;和解;弥补;化装;构成”等含义。

  17. —What should we pay more attention to if we go north in winter, Mum?

  —Nothing much. Take warm clothes _____the weather is cold.

  A. as long as      B. now that

  C. if              D. in case

  选D。本题主要考查连接词的意义及对句子间的意义、关系的理解。as long as 意思是“只要”,表示条件;now that 意思是“既然;由于”,表示原因;if意思是“如果”,表示条件;in care意思是“以防,万一;免得”,表示条件。根据句子间的意义及关系可知本题的正确答案选D。

  18. In the power plant more than_____of the workers are out_____strike.

  选A。twelve 的序数词形式为twelfth;分数表达法中的分子大于1时,分母用复数,on strike = 在罢工。

  19. I remember_____the factory owed a small workshop and two machines.

  A. when    B. how   C. whether   D. what

  选A。该题考查when引导的宾语从句。句意为“我记得曾经这个工厂只有一个小车间和两台机器”,只有when指时间。

  20. —I would like to buy an expensive camera.

  —Well, we have several models_____ .

  A. to choose from   B. to choose

  C. to be chosen     D. for choice

  选A。B、C有较大干扰性。根据上文“buy an expensive camera”,可以得知服务员在此让“我”从several models 中选一款。to choose from在此意为to choose one from several models。本句中to choose from 似乎没有逻辑主句,然而本句相当于We have several models for you to choose from。

  1. In America, _____ car is _____ popular means of transportation.

  A. the; a   B. a; the    C. the; the    D. the; /

  A. have walked       B. had walked

  C. walked            D. have been walking

  A. is   B. was  C. are  D. were

  选B。由and连接的并列单数主语前如果分别有each, every, no等修饰,谓语动词用单数形式。

  4. I thought _____ no use talking with him. _____ was a waste of time.

  A. there…There         B. it…It

  C. there…It            D. it…There

  选B。前空it作形式宾语,后空it指“与他交谈”这回事。

  —Oh, you_______be out of your mind. You’re 50 kilograms at the most!

  A. will    B. should    C. may    D. must

  7. ____ makes our school proud is _____ more than 80% of the students have been admitted to key universities.

  A. What…because    B. What…that

  选B。come close to意为“几乎,差不多”,后面接动词的-ing形式,根据题意应用其被动形式。

  11. In the school where I study English ____.

  A. is there            B. has no good teachers

  C. is taught           D. is the most beautiful

  12. The girl spent as much time as she ____ her lessons.

  A. could going over     B. could go over

  16. — I told you that he would come to see you.

  — Actually I had little doubt _____ it was true.

  A. whether     B. that     C. since     D. if

  4. _____ teachers are looked down upon.

  A. Went away are the days when

  B. Away went the days which

  C. Gone are the days when

  D. Went are the days that

  选C。自然语序是The days are gone. when引导定语从句修饰the days。倒装的目的是为了平衡主从句。

  5.We can never forget the days _______ the two astronauts in spaceship worked together and the days ________ we spent together.

  A. when; which  B. which; when  C. what; that  D. on which; when

  选A。选择定语从句的关系词关键在于区别关系词在从句中作什么成分。第一个先行词the days在从句中作状语,故用when或on which; 而第二个the days在从句中作spent的宾语必须用which或that。综合两个空,只能选A。

  6. The boy was sitting _____ his mother, _____ his back _____ the door.

  A. next to…with…to   B. nearly…of…against

  C. close to…with…on  D. near…in…towards

  选A。 with his back to the door是with的复合结构,意为“背向着门”。

  选 C。指人的复合不定代词作主语,其反意疑问句部分用复数形式。little是否定词。

  9. If better use is _____ your spare time, you’ll make greater progress in that.

  A. spent   B. taken   C. made of   D. used of

  选C。 make use of…为固定短语。本题可以用还原法做题,即If you make better use of your spare time, …….

  10. —How wise of you to come round, but why?

  —       that all is right.

  A. See       B. To see

  C. Seeing    D. For seeing

  选B。单从答语上看,很难确定哪个是正确答案。若用“补全法”,联系问句,在头脑中补上省去的部分,便可知孰对孰错。问句中与答语有直接联系的部分是“but why”,它的完整意思是 “…but why have you come round”,其完整答语应是 “I’ve come round to see that all is right”。答语中省去了主、谓部分,只保留了作目的状语的不定式。由此可知正确选项是B。

  11. Greatly moved by what she did,      .

  A. tears came to my eyes

  B. my heart was full of gratefulness

  C. my eyes were filled with tears

  D. I could hardly hold back my tears

  选D。本题主要是句子中逻辑关系的考查。根据非谓语动词moved可知,句子的主语必须是人,而不能是物,从而可以确定本题的正确答案选D。

  12. He knew the problem was serious and promised to look into it _____ he reached office.

  A. at that moment        B. for that moment

  选C。immediately = as soon as

  13. Shall we       our discussion and have some tea or coffee, please?

  A. break off        B. break down

  C. break into       break out

  选A。break off our discussion意为“打断讨论”,其他三项break down(出故障;打碎),break into(闯入,破门而入),break out (爆发)均与句意不符。

  14. He knows so much about the story. He must have read the book,         ?

  A. mustn’t he       B. doesn’t he

  C. hasn’t he        D. didn’t he

  选C。 “He must have read the book”中must 表示“一定,想必”等推测意义,而不表示“必须、禁止”等意义。“He must have read the book”相当于 “I’m sure he has read the book”相一致,即用hasn’t he, 而不用mustn’t he。

  15. As       rule, apples are sold by      weight and eggs by       dozen.

  A. a; 不填;the            B. a; the; the

  C. a; a; the               D. the; 不填;不填

  选A。as a rule(通常地)是固定词组;在度量名词前,表示付工资、卖、租等方式时,用the, 如paid by the hour (day, moth, piece…), sold by the yard (dozen, ton…),比较by weight (按重量)。

  16. The mistakes made by Chinese students are quite different from       made by the Japanese students in English study.

  A. That    B. which    C. what    D. those

  A. success; many experiences

  选B。抽象名词具体化,表示具有某种特征的人或事物,可用作可数名词。如:She is a success in business but a failure in marriage (她在事业上是个成功者,但在婚姻上是个失败者);experience作为“经验”解,为不可数名词。

  18. I think I was at school,       I was staying with a friend during the vacation when I heard the news.

  A. even so         B. and then

  C. so that         D. or else

  选D。or else 用作连词,意为“否则;不然”,其余各项与语境相悖。

  19. _____, I think, and the problems could be settled.

  A. If you double your efforts

  B. So long as you keep up your spirits

  C. Making greater efforts

  D. A bit more efforts

  选D。句首省略了make,完整的句型是“祈使句 + and + 陈述句”。

  20. They asked me to have a dinner in an excellent restaurant with the, I said that it was at least five years since I _______ a good meal.

  A. had enjoyed  B. was enjoying  C. enjoyed  D. had been enjoying

  选A。该题考查学生的目标是直接引语变成间接引语。该句的直接引语为It is at least five years since I enjoyed a good meal.因此,It is变It was;since I enjoyed a good meal变成since I had enjoyed a good meal.

 

单项选择题及详解<12>

  1. ---Why do you suggest Gulin?

  ---I believe_____ beauty of ____ nature there will make _____ excellent impression upon the tourists.

  选D。 the beauty of natural指“自然美景”, make an excellent impression upon sb.表示“给某人留下良好的印象”。

  2. —Mum, is the pair of gloves       mine?

  —Yes. You have to wear another pair.

  A. washing          B. have washed

  C. having washed    D. being washed

  选D。根据答语,问语的中文意思为“妈妈,正在洗的那副手套是我的吗?”,用进行时的被动语态,作后置定语修饰“the pair of gloves”。

  3. _____  you don’t like him is none of my business.

  A. What    B. Who   C. That    D. Whether

  选C。本句的谓语动词是is,前面是一个主语从句; “you don’t like him”是一个意思完整的句子,从句不需要任何有词义的连词引导,that只起连接作用,无词义,所以选C。

  4. My brother is very tall. The little bed won’t    for him.

  A. prepare       B. match

  C. fit           D. do

  选D。本题主要考查动词的意义和用法的区别。do for sb. 意思是“适合……,对……有效。”

  5. I like _____ when my parents are friendly to me.

  A. it     B. that      C. these     D. them

  选A。it指代整个从句的内容。

  6. — I didn’t do well in the exam. What about you?

  — I did _____ you. Maybe even worse.

  A. not better than       B. not worse than

  C. as well as            D. no better than

  选D。根据后面的答语Maybe (I did) even worse(than you).可以知道应该使用D。 no better than = as badly as

  7. I read about this story in some book or other. Does it matter        it was?

  A. where    B. what     C. how    D. which

  选D。此句后面部分可以看作是does it matter which book it was 的省略。此题受母语干扰,很容易错选A。只要抓住题干前一句中 “I read about this story in some book of other”的提示,就可知道是指一定范围内的“哪一个”,故答案为D。

  8. —Do you know where my blue coat is ?

  —Don’t bother to look for it. I’m sure it will  some day.

  A. turn out         B. turn on

  C. turn up          D. turn over

  选C。本题主要考查动词短语的意义区别。turn out 意义是“证明是;结果是”;turn on 意思是“转动;打开”;turn up 意思是“出现;到达”;turn over意思是“翻转过来”。根据句意,可知本题的正确答案选C。

  9. Whether by accident or  _____  , he arrived too late to help us.

  A. purpose     B. aim

  C. design      D. chance

  选C。purpose常与介词on, for或with连用。aim at “针对”;by chance“偶然地”与by accident同义。by design“蓄意地,有意地”。题意为:不知道是碰巧还是故意的,他到的太晚了,没能帮我们。根据句子逻辑。

  10. — Shall I go and buy two more bottles of beer?

  — No, I’ve already bought twenty. That _____ be enough for us two.

  A. can    B. may      C. ought to    D. might

  A. haven’t you            B. isn’t it

  C. hasn’t it              D. aren’t you

  选B。本题考查反意疑问句。根据主句It is…来确定做题。

  14. He went there, _____ some books and call on an old friend of his.

  A. bought    B. buying    C. buy    D. to buy

  选D。and call on暗示与前面的形式必须一致。而He went there暗示去的目的,所以用不定式作目的状语,与(to)call on并列。

  15. The country life he was used to _____ greatly since the opening policy.

  A. change              B. has changed

  C. changing            D. having changed

  选B。The country life 是定语从句的先行词,同时也是句子的主语。而he was used to是定语从句,省略了关系代词that/which。

  16. He had promised me to come to the party, and _____.

  A. so did he            B. so he did

  C. so he would          D. so would he

  选B。so he did意思是“确实,正是”。表示对前句内容的肯定。

  A. ought               B. ought to

  C. ought to have       D. ought to have finished

  A. won’t tell        B. didn’t tell

  C. haven’t told      D. hadn’t told

  选B。从问句中可以知道是发生在昨天晚上的事情,所以我不知道的动作也应该是在当时发生。做这类试题可以在句子的相关部分填加一定的时间状语。本题可以加上at that time。

  20. Philippine president Gloria Macapagal Arroyo _____ another term in office, _____ her closest rival(对手), film star Fernando Poe Junior.

  A. won; beating      B. got; winning

  C. got; won          D. won; beat

单项选择题及详解<13>

  1.The traffic problem we are looking forward to seeing _____ should have attracted the local government’s attention.

  A. solving         B. solve

  C. to solve        D. solved

  选D。本题主要考查学生分析句子的成分和掌握结构的能力。we are looking forward to seeing是定语从句修饰先行词the traffic problem, 同时充当seeing的宾语,而用solved作宾补,表示被动,即see the traffic problem solved。

  2. — He ought to have been warned of the danger.

  — ______, but he just wouldn’t listen to me.

  A. So ought he       B. So he was

  C. So was he         D. So he had

  选B。ought to have been warned of表示“本应该被告诫有危险”,是对过去动作的推测,因此回答也应该用过去时。A的构成形式不对。而So he was必须与第一句谓语动词have been一致。

  3.The cruelty of the terrorists towards the two Chinese engineers in Pakistan and _____ of the terrorists towards America in September 11, filled everyone with horror.

  A. those    B. that      C. one      D. it

  4. It was not until she had arrived home _____ her appointment with the doctor.

  A. did she remember     B. that she remembered

  C. when she remembered  D. had she remembered

  选B。本题考查对not until从句的强调句型,其结构为:It is/was+被强调部分+that部分。

  4. — These boxes are too heavy for me to move.

  — Here, I’ll give you a hand ____ them.

  A. for             B. to      C. with    D. by

  .  选C。答语中的 “them” 指前一句中的 “boxes”,而不指任何人,give sb. a hand with sth/in (at) doing sth.意为“帮某人做某事”。

  5. Help has already come from them, but the aid is ____ near what we expected.

  A. everywhere            B. somewhere

  C. anywhere               D. nowhere

  选D。nowhere near是一个固定短语,意为“远不是”。

  6.— Would you like to go to the cinema with me this evening?

  — I’d like to, but I won’t be free tonight. Let’s make ____ some other day.

  A. it        B. them       C. you   D. this

  选A。make it表示“按时到达某处(目的地);成功”。又如:A: You have just 15 minutes to get your train.(你只有15分钟时间去赶乘这班火车了。) B: All right, I guess I can make it.(没关系,我想我赶得上。)

  7. You have made a few spelling mistakes in your composition, but ____, it is fairly good.

  A. on the whole                  B. generally speaking

  C. above all                   D. on one hand

  选A。on the whole意为“大体上,总体上”;generally speaking意思是“一般而言”;above all意思是“尤其是”;而on one hand意思是“一方面”,经常与on the other (hand)连用。

  8. I hear Mr. Smith was writing a story last year and he still ____.

  A. do      B. does  C. is   D. am

  选C。从题意分析,本题的空格处应用现在进行时。而本题的现在进行时的助动词应用is。

  9. — Why do you want the book so much?

  — ____, sir.

  A. Studying   B. Studied

  C. Studies    D. To study

  选D。本题的答语部分也是一个省略句。补全后这个句子应是:I want the book so much to study, sir.。本题选用动词不定式在句中作目的状语。

  10. ____ that they are inexperienced, they have done a good job.

  A. Giving  B. To give  C. Given  D. If given

  选C。.given此处意为“考虑到”,在句中可用作介词或连词。

  11. ____ you may be right , I can’t agree completely.

  A. While       B. As      C. If         D. Since

  选A。while用作从属连词时,可表示“尽管、虽然”,引导一个让步状语从句。

  12. ----_____ you or he the teacher of English?

  ----Neither my sister nor my mother       present at the meeting.

  A. Are; is    B. Is; are     C. Are; are    D. Is; is

  选A。第一空根据疑问句就近一致的原则选are;第二空根据neither…nor…的意义一致选单数。

  13. All substances, _____ solid, liquids or gases, are made up of entirely atoms.

  A. whether they         B. whether

  C. whether are they     D. whether are

  选B。本题考查省略用法。 whether (they are) solid, liquids or gases。

  A. the bus comes…it comes

  B. comes the bus…comes it

  C. does the bus come…does it come

  15. It is partly _____ the summer day is longer that everything has a larger time to warm up.

  选D。强调句型中的原因状语从句只能用because引导。

  16. The US/UK war against Iraq and the suffering _____ caused have become a big concern all over the world.

  A. what      B. which      C. it       D. ×

  选C。 it (= the US/UK war) caused是定语从句修饰the suffering。

  17. —Yangyang carried off the first winter Olympic _____ medal for China.

  —Great! What ____ she won for our motherland!

  A. golden; honour          B. gold; honor

  C. golden; honors          D. gold; honors

  选B。根据句意可以知道,第一空"金牌"意思为"含金之物",应用gold作定语,而golden 为比喻性形容词,意思为"金色的"。例如golden rice"金黄色的稻子";第二空 honor 在此意思为"荣誉,光荣",是不可数名词。

  18. Some of the students have already learned enough English to ____ a conversation with a native English speaker.

  A. hold on      B. keep on      C. go on         D. carry on

  选D。选项A、B、C三个动词短语都表示"继续"之意,与题干中名词a conversation with a native English speaker构成短语,不符句意。

  19. —_____ Mr Smith ____ this week?

  — No. He is on holiday.

  A. Has; worked  B. Does; work

  C. Did; work    D. Is; working

  选D。根据答句He is on holiday.说明动作处于正在进行状态,而不是完成性的、过去发生的或经常性的动作,故排除选项A、B、C,选用现在进行时。

  20. —Got your driving license?

  —No. I _____ too busy to have enough practice, so I didn’t take the driving test last week.

  A. was    B. am      C. have been   D. had been

  选D。问句中Got your driving license?为Have you got your driving license?现在完成时的省略表达,该句对选项无影响。决定选项动词时态的是答句中so I didn’t take the driving test last week.分析句意可知,选项动作发生在后一动作之前,表示过去的过去,故应用过去完成时。

 

单项选择题及详解<14>

  1. —What’s going on?

  —   ______

  A. No, we won’t go on. We need rest.

  B. The Times Theatre is on fire.

  C. I’m going on telling the story.

  D. How about some ice cream?

  选B。 “What’s going on?” 意为“出什么事了?”,由此可以得出B与问句意思想一致。而A为一般疑问句的回答不符合。

  2. Everything he ______ away from him before he returned to his home town.

  A. took                  B. had been taken

  C. had had been taken    D. had taken

  选C。该题的选择具有很强的迷惑性,句子结构较长,这就要求学生在平时学习中,不但要掌握其“形”,而且要掌握其“神”,从理清句子结构入手,判断这个貌似某一结构的句子的真实面目。可以运用简化法,将定语从句中的he had先删除,句子就简单了许多。该句应正确理解为“他所拥有的一切都在他返回家乡之前被拿走了”,故正确答案C中第一个动词had和he组成定语从句,he had表示“他所拥有的”,省略了引导词that。第二个动词had been taken是过去完成时的被动语态,和before所引导的从句在意义和时态上均一致。

  3.When I was you age, I dared to go out alone at night,  ______ you?

  A. dared     B. dare     C. did     D. didn’t

  选B。本题极易错选A或C。从“When I was you age”看说话人问的是“你”现在的情况,因此A、C、D不可以。dare you 是dare you go alone at night 的省略形式,dare在这里为情态动词。

  4. —Who are those with the flags?

  —A group ______ itself the League for Peace.

  A. called        B. calls

  C. calling       D. is called

  选C。可以用补全法做题。calling itself 作定语,修饰group, 表示主动关系,故用-ing形式,若去掉itself则用called修饰group,表示被动。本题完整的句子为:They are a group calling itself the League for Peace.

  5.The cell phone I ______  I ______  is on the back seat of my car.

  A. thought; had lost    B. think; had lost

  C. thought; have lost    D. think; lost

  选A。本题主要考查从句时态的用法。lost行发生在thought 之前,故应用完成时had lost。

  6. The dictionary is to a student ______ the tool is to a worker.

  A. which   B. that   C. what   D. whatever

  选C。A is to+ B What C is to D意为“A与B的关系就等于C与D的关系”。又如:Air is to man what water is to fish.空气之于人犹如水之于鱼。

  7. They arrived at the farmhouse, in front of which

  A. is sitting a boy    B. sat a boy

  C. a boy sat           D. a boy is sitting

  选B。地点状语放在句首构在完全倒装,即主语与谓语直接颠倒位置,不加助动词。选A、D与主句时态不符,选项C应构成倒装句才对。

  8. If we ______ , we can realize the progress we have made in space research.

  A. turn back         B. look back

  C. answer back       D. move back

  选B。look back在这里是“回顾”的意思,turn back有“转身”的意思,因此B为最佳答案。C没有相关表达;move back表示“搬回”的意思,不符合句子的意思。

  9. Many newspapers printed the governor’s statement_    would support a tax cut.

  A. and he          B. was that he

  C. which he        D. that he

  选D。本题考查由that引导的同位语从句的用法。that 在同位语从句中不作成分,但一般不省略,用来说明其内容。

  10. If better use is      of your spare time, you’ll make great progress in it.

  A. spent    B. made   C. taken   D. thought

  选B。本题主要考查动词的固定搭配。make better use of 意思是“对……更好地利用”,故选B。

  11.I’d like Jane,  ______ Joan, to go to the farewell party on behalf of (代表) our class.

  A. more than        B. less than

  C. rather than      D. or other

  选C。本题考查固定短语。Would like…rather than…意思是“宁愿……,而不愿……”。该句型相当于I like Jane, not Joan. rather than意思是“而不是”。

  12 Which city in England do you think may be called  Shanghai of       West?

  A. a; the         B. the; 不填

  C. the; the       D. 不填;the

  选C。the West(西方、西洋)是固定搭配;指类似于……的人或物时,专有名词前面冠词,而Shanghai 又受of West修饰,所以用the。

  13. Shelly had prepared carefully for her English examination so that she could be sure of passing it on her first        .

  A. intention      B. attempt

  C. purpose        D. desire

  选B。比较:attempt尝试,企图;intention意图;purpose目的;desire欲望。选B符合语境。

  14. It was she that  ______ a sharp whistle, which makes possible for us to catch the thief.

  A. gave off; this      B. gave out; that

  C. gave; it            D. sent out; them

  选C。前半句即主句是强调句,强调she;后半句是which引导的非限制生定语从句,it为形式宾语,指代真正的宾语即动词不定式短语to catch the thief.

  15.My brother was still studying       into the night while I was ______ asleep.

  A. late; sound      B. lately; wide

  C. deeply; far      D. far; far

  选A。late [deep] into the night 熬夜;sound/fast副词,表示“彻底地”,与asleep 构成习惯搭配。

  16. Kate’s little brother kicked the ball to the river; she took great trouble to get in ______ the river.

  A. on             B. from

  C. from on        D. over from

  选C。get sth from意为“从……取得某物,on the river指“河上”。注:介词from后可接介词短语,又如:The cat jumped out from under the bed猫从床下跳出来。

  17. Your mother ______ , however, say that to us that day.

  A. does  B. did  C. is doing   D. was doing

  选B。根据句意及that day 可知谓语动词用一般过去时。其中的did为强调用法,表示“的确,确实”,后面必须接动词的原形,而且要用在肯定句中。

  18. The problem just ______ to be discussed at the class meeting tomorrow.

  A. referred is        B. referred to being

  C. referring to is    D. referred to is

  选D。本题的关键在于理解句子结构: referred to 在句中作定语,修饰名词the problem,而谓语动词为is, to be discussed是它的表语,be to do表示将来的动作。

  19. I phoned my first teacher time and again when I heard that he was ill, yet couldn’t     .

  A. get through     B. get along

  C. get over        D. get hold of

  选A。由句子的意义可知,说话人得知老师生病,所以再三给老师打电话,但打不通,故应选择A项,表示“打通电话”之意。get along 一般接with表示“相处如何/进展如何”;get over表示“恢复健康,克服困难”;而get hold of表示“抓住”的意思。这三个短语都是及物动词要接宾语,在此均可以排除。

  20. —Henry, the phone is ringing . Do you want me to go?

  —No, sit still.       .

  A. I’ll get it        B. I am to get it

  C. I’m getting it     D. I am about to get it

  选A。回答为“不,你坐着,我去”表明一种意愿的行动。B项意为“按约定或责任应该……”;C项为“即要去”;D项为动作即刻发生;而A项侧重表明说话者的意志。

 

单项选择题及详解<15>

  1.— May I take your order?

  — Yes, I’d like a cup of coffee, a hot dog and some salad. What about you, Lisa?

  — ____.

  A. Me too                             B. Same again, please

  C. It’s all the same to me      D. The same to me

  选B。Same again, please. 表示“请同样的再来一份”。

  2.— How many students are going to the Great Wall?

  — ____.

  A. None   B. No one   C. No    D. Not any

  选A。回答How many的提问,英语中常用none表示 “一个也没有”;回答Who is...的提问,英语中常用no one,表示“一个也没有”。

  3.He came home after midnight, and ____, he was drunk. That made his parents very angry.

  A. What is more                 B. On the other hand

  C. In my opinion           D. In another word

  选A。what’s more常用作插入语,意为“更有甚者;而且”。

  4. He did better in the exam not only than _____ in her own class but also than _____ in mine.

  A. any other student…any student

  B. anybody…anybody

  C. anybody…anybody else

  D. the other…others

  选C。 前空表示“两者中较……的一个”要加the,后空是“越……就越……”的句型。

  5.The theory he had stuck _______ to be true.

  A. proved  B. to proving  C. to prove  D. to proved

  选D。一看这四个选项认为是不定式后接动词原形,其实he had stuck to是充当后置定语,stick to(坚持)为一个固定搭配,去掉这个定语从句后,我们可以很清楚地发现整个句子缺少了谓语动词,定语从句时态为过去完成时,所以主句谓语动词应该过去式。

  6.— Tell me something about your adventure in the forest, please.

  — We lost our way in the forest and ____ matters worse was ____ night began to fall.

  A. what…that          B. it…that

  C. it…because          D. what…because

  选A。 前空缺少主语,用what引导一个主哟从句表示“所……的”;后空句意、结构均完整,但was后面的表语从句的连词that不能省略。

  7. He was chosen _________ of the company.

  A. manager  B.  a manager  C. the manager  D. as a manager

  选A。 在作为主语补足语和宾语补足语的表示独一无二的官衔或职务的名词前,一般不要用冠词。

  8. — You _____ stop me.

  — Even if you _____ it, I won’t allow you to do it.

  A. mustn’t…dare not do  B. may…dare not do

  C. can…dare to do        D. needn’t…dare do

  选D。 根据情态动词的基本用法可排除A、B、C。

  9.I will have begun to do the work ______ 3 o’clock this afternoon.

  A. by  B. at  C. after  D. before

  选A。句中will have begun提供了一个关键的解题线索,表明应该表示“将来截止时间”的介词,在本题中只有by有这种用法。

  10.She is too thin. She _______ gain some weight but she ______ too little.

  A. would; ate B. will; eat  C. would; eats  D. will; ate

  选C。根据第一句She is too thin所给的信息可以知道,“她瘦”是客观事实,所以“吃得少”也是客观事实,因此用陈述语气的eats。那么“体重增加”则应该是一种假设(注意句中的转折连词but),所以第一个空要填would。本句可以理解为其后面省略了一个条件从句if she ate more。

  11.You can arrive in Beijing earlier for the meeting, ______ you don’t mind taking the night train.

  A. provided  B. unless  C. though  D. until

  选 A。provided在这里用作连词,相当于if,引导一个条件状语从句。

  12.The child came back _______ from a dangerous situation.

  A. safely and sound  B. safely and soundly

  C. safe and sound    D. soundly and safe

  选C。本题考查形容词短语作状语的用法,safe and sound意思是“安然无恙”。

  13. It’s high time that we _____ home and _____ supper now.

  A. go…have              B. went…had

  C. go…should have       D. went…to have

  选B。 该句型中的谓语动词用“过去式”或“should + 动词原形”,should不能省略!

  14.The man used to ___________ up early had his leg broken.

  A. getting  B. get  C. got  D. have got

  选A。used to getting up early是形容词短语作定语修饰the man。有些学生受思维定势的影响错误把used to get up看作是定语从句,但没有关系代词who。有的同学把它看承是谓语,但本句已经有谓语had his leg broken,所以前面部分不可能是谓语,只能用作定语。

  15.You must keep the news a secret and don’t put it ______ anybody else.

  A. in possession of   B. in the possession of

  C. in charge of       D. in the charge of

  选B。A和C的逻辑主语是人,分别表示“某人占有”和“某人负责某事”,含有主动意义;而B和D的逻辑主语是物,分别表示“被某人所占有”和“由某人负责”,具有被动意义。根据句子的意思应该选B。

  16.He got up early, ________ to catch the train.

  A. to hope  B. hoping  C. hope  D. hoped

  选B。to catch the train是目的状语,hope是伴随状语。

  17.Is there a cinema around ______ I can see a film?

  A. that    B. which   C. where  D. what

  选C。本题容易错误选B。从常识可以判断,看电影应该在电影院里,而不会在电影院附近,所以可以判定around在句子中不是介词,而是副词,相当于nearby(在附近)。故此定语从句缺点好了地点状语,答案为C。

  18. ----What do you think of the film we saw last night?

  ----I feel ______ that the film is well worth seeing once more.

  A. strong  B. strongly  C. hardly  D. bad

  选B。容易误选A。原因是把feel当成了连系动词,其实that 引导了一个宾语从句,所以可以断定feel在这里不是一个连系动词,而是一个实义动词。I feel strongly that…意思是“我坚信……”。

  19. _________ water to grow is well-known.

  A. That trees need      B. These trees need

  C. That tree needs      D. Trees need

  选A。本句的意思是:树需要水生长是众所周知的。

  That trees need water to grow是一个主语从句,放在句子的开头,引导词that不能省略。

  20.It’s said that the old lady died ________.

  A. happily  B. happy  C. happiness  D. of happiness

  选B。容易误选A。认为应该选副词来修饰动词。本题中的die相当于连系动词,所以后面应该接一个形容词作表语。类似的动词有:come, go , lie, stand, rise, fall, leave, sit, return, die等。

  21.He began to __________ because every means _______ tried already.

  A. lose heart; has been   B. lose heart; had been

  C. lose his heart; was    D. lose his heart; had

  选B。try发生在began之前,所以用过去完成时。lose heart 意思是“灰心,失去信心”;而lose one’s heart to意思是“爱上某人”。 

 

单项选择题及详解<16>

  1.It was________great shock to the world that two aero-planes crashed into ______World Trade Center in New York o September 11th, 2001.

  A. a; /  B. a; the   C. the; the    D. /; the

  选B。shock指代具体事情时为可数名词,a great shock意为“一次沉重的打击”;由普通名词构成的建筑类专有名词需加冠词,故答案为B。

  2. The TV programme has______on the children as______as the old.

  A. a good effect; good

  B. a positive effect; well

  C. a good affect; well

  D. affect; well

  选B。have an effect on“对……有影响”;as well as “和……一样”。

  3. ______, I think, and all the problems could be settled.

  A. If you make more efforts

  B. Making more efforts

  C. A bit more effort

  D. To have made more efforts

  选C。句中有并列连词and,故应选择C项。其中名词短语相当于一个祈使句,完整的句子为:Make more efforts, I think, and all the problems could be settled.如选A , and要删去。

  4  ______at in this way, the present situation about birds flue doesn’t seem so disappointing.

  A. Looking           B. Looked

  C. Having looked     D. To look

  选B。根据“分词短语作状语,其逻辑主语须与主句的主语保持一致”的原则,因主语the present situation与look at 之间为被动关系,故答案为B。

  5.      you I owe a thousand apologies  having doubted your ability.

  A. For; to         B. To; for

  C. For; for        D. To; to

  选B。本句的结构是:owe sb. sth. for doing sth. 或owe sth. to do. for doing sth.。

  6. He       the person referred to be put in prison.

  A. said         B. demanded

  C. agreed       D. thought

  选B。referred to为过去分词作后置定;be put in prison前省去了should,在宾语从句中作谓语,在四个选项中,只有demand后跟虚拟语气,结构为:(should) + 动词原形。

  7. It is not enough only       the rules of grammar if you want to learn English well.

  A. keeping in the mind

  B. to keep in mind

  C. to keep in your mind

  D. keeping in your mind

  选B。keep sth. in mind 为固定短语,意为“记住,记在心里。”only to keep sth. In mind为动词不定式作主语。

  8. —He       to the meeting. Have you informed him of it?

  —Sorry. I       to.

  A. hasn’t come; am going

  B. didn’t come; have forgotten

  C. hasn’t come; forgot

  D. doesn’t come; will have

  选C。第一句话Have you informed him of it?

  暗示了时间状语so far;而第二句话暗含时间状语then,指当时发生的动作。

  9. Many people have been ill from a strange disease these days,       we’ve never heard of before.

  A. one    B. that   C. it    D. this

  选A。one作同位语,指代前面的disease。

  10. She stepped into the bedroom quietly       she might wake up her roommates.

  A. for fear that        B. so long as

  C. on condition that    D. in order that

  选A。so long as 只要;on condition that…只要;in order that…为了;for fear that…唯恐,以防。

  11. —Did you look up the time of trains to Shanghai?

  —Yes, the earliest train is       to leave at 5:30 am.

  A. likely           B. about

  C. possible         D. due

  选D。be due to do意为“应该…/预期的”;be about to do 不和时间状语连用;possible主语应为it;而likely与句意不合。

  12. —Would you rather come on Friday or Saturday?

  —      .

  A. Yes, of course       B. The other is better

  C. What’s the matter   D. Either would suit me

  选D。句意为:两者中任何一个都合适。

  13. —I want to go to the library but I am afraid I am not in the right      .

  —      . Go ahead.

  A. way; No         B. distance; No

  C. side; Yes       D. direction; Yes

  选D。in the right direction“向着正确的方向”。C项不能构成搭配,其他项与句意不符。

  14. The man we followed suddenly stopped ad looked as if     whether he was going I the right direction.

  A. seeing         B. having seen

  C. to have see    D. to see

  选D。 as if 引导的状语从句是一个省略句,只剩下了目的状语to see。

  15. Everyone was on time for the meeting  Chris, who’s usually ten minutes late for everything.

  A. but       B. only

  C. even      D. yet

  选C。本句话的意思是:每个人都准时来参加会议了,甚至经常干什么事都迟到十分钟的 Chris也准时来了。

  16. The politician has been warned that he would be getting into great trouble       stick to his standpoint.

  A. were he to        B. he will

  C. he was to         D. would he

  选A。表示对将来情况的虚拟,条件从句的形式是:should + 动词原形;were to + 动词原形或一般过去时态。把if去掉,应使用倒装形式,故答案为A。

  17. Jane was disappointed that most of the guests  when she       at the party.

  A. left; had arrived       B. left; arrived

  C. had left; had arrived   D. had left; arrived

  选D。客人在她arrived之前就已离开;过去的过去,用had left。

  18. —Bruce was killed in a traffic accident.

  —       I talked with him yesterday morning!

  A. What a pity!         B. I beg your pardon?

  C. Sorry to hear that.  D. Is that so?

  选D。答语的后半部分是感叹句,说明惊讶的原因。D项 “Is that so?” 是用问句的语气表示惊讶;C项与后面的语气不一致,是干扰项。

  19. It was quite a long time      I made it out what had happened.

  A. after     B. before    C. when   D. since

  选B。“It + be + 时间名词+before / since”从句句型中,连词before  与since 混淆。用before引导时,句意是 “过了多久才……”,主句中的be动词为过去时或将来时态;用since引导时,其句间是“自从……以来已经多久了”,主句中的be动词多为现在时(或现在完成时)或一般过去时(此时since从句要用过去完成时)。

  20. It was quite a serious accident,      caused by careless driving.

  A. which I think was   B. I think which was

  C. which I think it was  D. I think which it was

  选A。本题考查由which引导的非限制性定语从句,which替代先行词accident 在定语从句中作主语。I think 是插入语,放在which后面。
