1.信息法
(1) They were all very tired, but ____ of them would stop to take a rest.
A. anyB. someC. noneD. neither
本題只要抓住all,便可排除neither,因為all指3個以上,neither只表示兩個,而A、B不合題意,很容易被排除,故答案為C。
(2) ─Do you remember _____ he came?
─Yes, I do, he came by car.
A.whereB.whatC.whereD.which
從語法上看,A、B、C、D4個選項都可以填,而且在日常生活中用任何一個選項都沒有什么錯。但是,by這一特定信息暗示了問句詢問的是“來的方式”,所以A是最佳選項。
2.破境、破譯法
(3) ─When shall we meet again?
─Make it ____day you like; it's all the same to me.
A. oneB. anyC. anotherD. some
解此題須抓住“it's all the same to me”,其意為“我們何時再見面對我來講都一樣”,言外之意“再相會的日子哪一天都行”,故選B。
(4) The plant is dead. I _____ it more water?
A. will giveB. would have give
C. must giveD. should have given
should have done表示某事本應在過去做,但是沒有做。“植物死了,本來應該多澆水的”,故選D。
3.句法分析法
(5) ____ we can't get seems better than _____ we have.
A. What; whatB. What; that
C. That; that D. That; what
首先作語法分析,不難發現that連接兩個從句,而題干中get、have均為及物動詞,空白處缺賓語,A項正好符合以上要求,為正確選項。
(6) This is the island _____ we've long wanted to visit.
A. whereB. on whichC. in whichD. that
定語從句中visit是及物動詞,關系代詞that可做賓語,A為關系副詞,B、C為“介詞+關系代詞”,其作用相當于關系副詞,故答案為D。
4.時態、語態分析法
(7) Helen _____ her keys in the room so she had to wait until her son _____ home.
A. has left; comesB. left; had come
C. had left; came D. had left; would come
首先作時態分析,從句so she had to wait...為過去式,而had to意為“不得不”,從而可知主句動作應先于從句動作發生,而且已造成了影響,故主句時態必須用過去完成時,排除A、B;從句里wait為延續性動詞,until用在肯定句里表明“……直到……為止”,在其引導的時間狀語從句中,用一般過去時表示過去將來時的動作,故選C。
(8) When we came here this time last year, a new road _____.
A. was buildingB. has built
C. was being built D. has been built
第一句語境提示“this time last year”從而可推斷第二句必須用過去進行時,而第二句主語為road,故必須用被動語態,所以答案為C。
5.排除法
(9) If there were no exa-
minations, she should have __ at school.
A. the happiest time
B. a more happier time
C. much happiest time
D. a much happier time
B、C的形式明顯有錯,happier已是比較級無需再加more;而最高級前應用the。接下重點來考慮A、D,此題沒有三者以上的范圍,僅是“有考試”與“沒有考試”兩種情況的比較,所以推測D為正確答案,much可修飾比較級。
6.綜合法
(10) ─How did you find your visit to museum.
─I enjoyed it very much. It was ___than I expected.
A. far more interesting
B. even much interesting
C. so more interesting
D. a lot much interesting
題中than說明該題為比較級句型。B、D屬形容詞原級,可排除;而C項中so不可跟more interesting連用,自然排除。那么剩下的A代入驗證后,more interesting可與far連用,從而可以確定為正確答案。
7.排除母語干擾法
(11) ─Please don't make any noise.
─_____. I'll be as quiet as a mouse.
A. Yes, I won't B. No, I won't
C. No, I'll D. Yes, I'll
首先,A、C答語形式相悖應排除,在簡略答語中,Yes漢語譯為“不”,No譯為“是”。第一句語境為否定,第二句語境為“我將靜如鼠,不再吵鬧”。前后意義一致,故答案為B。
8.推算法
(12) Tom is seventeen years old. Jack is three years older than Tom and two years younger than Tod. Tod is _____.
A. eighteenB. nineteenC. twenty-twoD. sixteen
湯姆17歲,杰克20歲,而杰克比托德小兩歲,所以托德是22歲,經過這樣一推算,就知道“C”是正確答案了。
