高中英语单项选择题讲练
20. I really wonder ______ he has posted me many parcels _____we worked together .
答案是D项。英语中的连词since有这样的特性:终止其后从句中的延续性的谓语动词的动作。第二个空白处填入since之后,这个从句的意思是:自从我们不在一起工作起。此外,since还可使其后从句里的非延续性的谓语动词延续。例如:Itis 15 years since he joined the Army . (他参军已经十五年了。)
21 . -How long _______ each other before they ________ married?
A. have they known ;get
C. do they know ; are going toget
答案是D项。根据句意分析,他们结婚已是过去的事,那末,他们互相了解大约一年的时间肯定发生在结婚前,发生在过去某一动作之前的动作,应该使用过去完成时。
22. Michael ______ here to see you and he ______ a note on yourdesk .
A. has come ;
答案是D项。此处的has beenhere表示"刚才到这儿来过",从字面上看这个表达方式是现在完成时,但实际上这个表达方式的内涵是该人已不在此处了。因此这个动作是发生在过去的事,那末该在你的书桌上留便条的动作也该用一般过去时
23. -When ______ and visit our exhibition next month?
A. will he come ; he willcome
C. does he come ; he willcome
答案是B项。第一句中的时间状语nextmonth确定了这句的一般将来时的时态,然而第二句是由when引导的时间状语从句,在时间状语从句中只能用一般现在时表示的是一般将来时。
24. Mrs. Green wants to buy that kind of cloth because she______ that the cloth _____ very well .
A. has been told ; washes
答案是A项。根据语境第一个空白处应该使用现在完成时的被动语态,第二个空白处应该选用washes,因为wash这个动词也可作不及物动词使用,它的词意是"耐洗"。英语中Thiscloth washes well表达的是:这布很耐洗。
25. It's nearly seven o'clock . Jack _____ be here at any moment.
答案是C项。根据语境空白处应填表示具有"随时可能"意义的情态动词。虽然can可以表示可能性,但它往往表示的是对这种可能性的怀疑。例如:Canhe still be alive after all these years ?(这么多年之后,他还可能活在人世吗?)should除具有"应该"词义之外,还有一个含义是:will probably(将来很可能发生)又如:His uncle is working among the enemyofficials now . Dangerous things should happen to him at any time .(他的叔叔现在在敌人的军营中工作,危险的事随时都可能发生在他身上。)
26. I _____ you somewhere before , but your name has escaped me_____ moment .
A. must see ; for amoment
C. must see ; for themoment
答案是D项。must与不定式的完成体连用表示对过去发生的事持肯定态度的推断,在疑问句中用can,在持否定态度的推断时用cannot 。例如:He must have rid himself of his preumonia last week ,for you see , he doesn't cough at all now .(他在上星期肯定治愈了他的肺炎,你看,他现在一点都不咳嗽了。) for amoment表示一个动作延续了一会儿,而for the moment则表示"目前;暂时"
27. We're leaving at six o'clock , and hope _____ most of thejourney by lunch time .
A. todo
答案是B项。要答对这道题需要两方面的知识。一是不定式的完成体用来表示这个动作发生在谓语动作之前,或是表示该动作的完成。本题中的不定式的完成体表示的正是该动作的完成,因此这句话可改写为:We'releaving at six o'clock , and hope that we will have done most thejourney by lunch time .(我们将在六点时动身,希望在午饭前走完大半路程。)第二,知识是与journey连用的不同的动词所具有的不同的内涵。词组tomake a journey或to go on a journey都表示"做一次旅行",在这两个词组里ajourney是一个整体,但是如果要表示旅程中的一部分,正确的英语则使用do这个动词,例如:dosome / much / most of the journey(走完这个旅程的一部分/大部分/绝大部分)
28. She was afraid _____ the dog in case it became dangerous.
A. ofexciting
答案是B项。be afraid后面既可以跟不定式be afraid tosth又可以跟动名词be afraid of doing sth ,但前者的意思是:害怕/不敢做某事;后者的意思为:对可能出现的结果的发愁或忧虑,试比较以下两个句子:
She was afraid to wake up her husband . ( perhaps because shefeared that he would be annoyed or angry )她不敢唤醒她的丈夫。(可能因为她害怕他会不高兴或生气)
She was afraid of waking up her husband . ( perhaps because he wasill , or in need of extra sleep)她担心吵醒了她的丈夫。(可能因为他生病了或需要一些额外的睡眠)
29. The bad weather meant ______ the rocket launch (发射) for 48hours .
A.delaying
答案是A项。mean后既可以跟不定式(mean to dosth),又可以跟名词mean doingsth,便两者内涵是有很大区别的,前者表示"故意去做;诚心去做"而后者表示"意味着要做"。据此两个不定式的选项应予以排除。虽然句中有表示延续一段时间的时间状语,但句意是:恶劣的天气意味着火箭的发射要耽搁四十八小时,"耽搁"这一动作没有也不能发生在谓语动词meant之前,所以C项也必须排除掉。
30. Do you consider it any good _____ the truck again ?
A. torepair
答案是B项。在这个句子中it是形式宾语,如果这样的句子中出现了anygood , no good , any use 或 nouse,就该使用动名词来作句中真正的宾语。
31. ______ to somebody , a British person after shakes handswith the stranger .
A.Introducing
答案是D项。很明显,句中的空白处应选用非谓语动词的被动形式。如果将C项填入空白处,虽然这个不定式是被动形式,但不定式短语处于句首或是充当目的的状语,或是充当含有虚拟意义的动名词时,其意为:"一…就…",但如介词on后带被动态的动名词,除上述意义外,还可表示:"在…的时候"。D项答案的这个意义正符合上面句子的句意。
32. _____ in thought ,
答案是C项。过去分词有三个用途:(1)表示被动,如:the oppressedpeople ( = the people who are oppressed ) 被压迫的人们,又如:theexploited class ( = the class that is exploited )被剥削阶级;(2)表示完成,如:the fallen leaves ( = the leaveswhich have fallen ) 落叶,又如:an escaped prisoner ( = a prisonerwho has run out of prison ) 一个逃犯;(3)表示状态,如:a brokenwindow ( = a window that is broken ) 一扇破窗子,又如:lost inthought陷入沉思。
33. Let us not waste ______ time we have left .
thelittle
答案是A项,一般地说,不定代词many ,little或few前是不许使用定冠词的,但是如果它们修饰的名词有特指或限定意义时,它们前面就应使用定冠词了。如:Isoon finished the few books she had lent me .(她借给我的那几本书,我很快就看完了。)又如:We must make full useof the contradictions among the enemies , winning over the many andopposing the few .(我们必须充分利用敌人的内部矛盾,争取多数,反对少数。)
34. I think the doctor is able to care of _____ is the matterwith your son .
A. all
答案是C项。与前面第19题的考查点whoever一样,whatever也具备两个意思,其一是nomatter what , 引导让步状语从句;其二是anything that ,引导名词性从句,在本题中,Whatever引导的是一个宾语从句,whatever在这个宾语从句被用作主语。
35. We will take _____ wants to go there for a sight-seeing.
答案是A项。whoever有两个词义,(1)no matterwho,在这种用法时引导一个让步状语从句,如:Whoever ( = No matterwho ) it is , I do not want to see them .(无论他是谁,我都不想见。),又如:The business would be a success ,whoever ( no matter who ) owned it .(这个企业准能兴旺发达,甭管谁是它的主人。);(2)anybody /that,在这种用法时,它连接一个名词性从句,在本题中它连的是主语从句,又如:Iwill take whoever ( anybody that ) wants to go to that beautifulpark .(我要带任何想去那个美丽公园的人去那里。)在这一例句中whoever连接的是一个宾语从句
36. I caught the last bus from town , but Harry came home ______that night .
verylate
答案是B项。形容词或副词的比较级在一般情况下使用在明示比较句中,但有时也使用在暗示比较句中。暗示比较现象往往出现在带有but的并列句里,或带有让步状语从句的主句里。第一分句交代的是暗示某种程度的被比对象,在第二分句里以比较级的形式出现。又如:Greatas are his achievements , his ideal and spirit are still greater .(他的成就非常了不起,但他的理想和精神更伟大。)
37. -What was the party like?
A.after
答案是D项。英语中"It is + 时间"后三种不同的用法。其一是:"It is+ 时间+ that …",这是强调结构的句型,如:It is always on Wednesdaymorning that the famous professor comes to give us a lecture aboutChinese literature .(那位著名的教授来给我上中国文学课总是在星期三上午);其二是:"It is+一段时间before…",这一句型的意思是:完成这个从句所发生的事所需的时间量,如:Itis about a week before a Londoner can get a letter you post inBeijing today .(一个伦敦人要收到你今天在北京寄出的一封信需要一个星期的时间。);其三是:"Itis +一段时间+since…"这一句型表示的是从从句中动词的动作起所延续的时间。关于since这个词的内涵,详见前面的第20小题。
38. A man does not know the difficulty of anything _____ he doesit personally .
A. although
答案是D项。连词unless本身具有否定意义:if …not,引导的是否定的条件句,这种否定的条件句从反面来表达强烈的语气,一些语法学家称它为"反面的唯一条件句"又如:Onecannot master a foreign language well unless he studies it hard .(不下苦功夫,是学不好的一门外国语的。)
39. Mary ______ to see you . She _____ for you downstairs at themoment .
A. has come ; is waiting
答案是A项。思考这道题时应该使用逆向思维,即先考虑第二个空白处的选项,再考虑第一空白处的答案。因为第二句中交代了一个重要的时间状语:atthe moment (现在),因此应毫不犹豫地选择iswaiting这一现在进行时的时态。据此第一句的句意也就随之清晰起来?quot;玛丽已经到这儿来看望你"很明显对表示对现在造成影响的动作要使用现在完成时态。
40. -Have you ever seen Peter recently ?
-Yes . He _____ me to ask you how you _____ along with your newjob these days .
A. has asked ; have beengetting
C. often asks ; aregetting
答案是D项。问方的所问被完整地给出:"近来你见到彼德了吗?"答方给予的第一个答复是肯定的,那末后面解释他一彼德见面时所做事肯定是过去的事,因此第一个空应该使用asked。第二空是否受asked的制约,要由离第二个空白处最近的动词决定,离它近的是动词不定式toask,据此根据句意,第二个空白处应该使用现在进行时。
41.--Is that the small town you often refer to?(2005福建卷)
--Right,just the one____you know I used to work for years.
A.that
分析:答案是C。由语境和句子结构可知,you know为插入语,将其去掉更易看出the one是指the small town,因此该空应该填where引导定语从句。
42.Mom is coming. What present _________for your birthday?(2005福建卷)
A.you expect you have got
C.do you expect she has got D.do you expect has she got
分析:答案是C。由语境和句子结构得知,后一句为带插入语do you expect的特殊疑问句,插入语后面内容应视为宾语从句且采用陈述语序。
43.It is what you do rather than what you say______matters.(2005天津卷)
A. that
分析:答案是A。由语境和句子结构可知,该句为强调句型,被强调部分是由rather than连接的并列主语从句担当。
44.An awful accident, however, _____occur the other day.
A. does
此题正确答案应选B,句末的the otherday意为“前几天”,所以句子应用过去时态,而选项D填进去不合题意,故选B。此句有两个难点:一是句中插有however一词,分散了同学们的注意力;二是所填选项B为强调用法。
45.The boss praised the young man for his hard work, though he____ experience.
A. is lackof
此题答案选b,be lackingin是习语,意为“缺乏”,其后通常接experience, frankness,courage等抽象名词。选a是错误的,因为lack可用做名词和动词,但不用做形容词;选c是错误的,因为lack用做动词时,它是及物动词,其后不用介词(注:用做名词的lack后可接介词of);选d是错误的,因为没有be lacking of这个搭配。
