4页高考英语专项(二)高考英语单项选择解题技巧一.命题原则 突出语境,强化语意,强调运用二.单项选择题命题特点覆盖面广,重点突出淡化语法结构,重视能力突出在语境中运用知识的考查三.英语单项选择解题技巧(一)找准关键词语1.It is______ any wonder that his friend doesn't like watching television much.(广东) A. no B. such C. nearly D. hardly此题的关键词是any, 因为any常用于疑问句、否定句或条件句中,而此句不是疑问句,也不是条件句,所以应该是否定句no本身就相当于not any,于是排除A因此,正确答案D(hardly=almost not)二)分析句子结构2.This is the main use that the scientists make______ natural resources.A. in B. up of C. from D. of 有些试题的考本来十分简单,但命题者却通过使用定语从句,或者将我们十分熟悉的固定词组有意拆开,重新组合,使我们在结构上产生错觉。
that the scientists make…是定语从句,关系代词that是代表先行词use的,将其置入定语从句中,就得到that the scientists make use..显然是考查make use of 这一词组正确答案是D三)适当转换句式3.---Mr. Wang ,whom would you rather ______ the important meeting?---Tom.A. have attend B. have attended C. having attend D. have to attend 有时将题干的句式转换成自己更熟悉的句式,就很容易选出正确答案如:将疑问句、强调句、感叹句或倒装句改为陈述句,将被动句改为主动句,将无序句调整为正常句此题若将疑问句改为陈述句,就是I have Tom attend the important meeting其中would rather 后必须跟动词原形,have sb do sth.所以选A四)补全省略成分4.---What do you think made Mary so upset? --- ______her new bike.(上海)A. Lost B. As she lost C. Losing D. Because of losing 口语中会使用一些省略句,作题是若将被省略的成分补充完整,答案就会一目了然。
此题将答句补全,就是Losing her new bike made Mary so upset显然,只能选C,用动名词作主语五)删除干扰部分5.We agree to accept______ they thought was the best tourist guide.A. whichever B. whoever C. whatever D. whomever 就是将起干扰作用的定语从句、介词短语或插入语,如I think/ suppose/believe,do you think/ suppose/believe, you know,of course等删除,从而更容易地选出正确答案此题去掉插入语they thought ,可知宾语从句缺主语,又能与the best tourist guide 搭配的,只有答案B六)利用对称结构6.---English has a large vocabulary, hasn't it?---Yes. ______ more words and expressions and you will find it easier to read and communicate.(上海)A. Know B. Knowing C. To know D. Known 就是在作题的过程中要善于利用and, but等并列连词。
若前面是个句子,后面也是个句子,反之亦然;若连接的是几个动词,这几个动词也必定是同一时态或同一形式此题第二个and后面是个句子,所以前面也必定是一个句子,但是前面这个句子没有主语,只能选用动词原形,构成一个祈使句,因此答案是A又如:On Saturday afternoon, Mrs. Green went to the market, ______some bananas and visited her cousin. A. bought B. buying C. to buy D. buy (七)注意标点符号7.There are eight tips in Dr. Roger’s lecture on sleep, and one of them is:______ to bed early unless you think it is necessary.(重庆)A. doesn’t go B. not to go C. not going D. don’t go标点有时对我们作题有提示的作用此题很容易选B,认为是不定式做表语其实冒号已经表明后面是Dr.Roger讲的原话,这原话应当是个句子,只有选D才构成一个否定的祈使句。
八)熟记固定搭配8.Mr. Smith used to smoke ______ but he has given it up.(天津) A. seriously B. heavily C. badly D. hardly 在平时的学习中注意积累一些常见的固定句式、动词与副词的搭配、名词和形容词的搭配等因为指烟瘾或酒瘾很重,要用heavy或heavily ,因此答案是B此外,雨雪下得“大”、烟雾“浓”、交通“拥挤”、波涛“汹涌”等,也用heavy九) 消除思维定势9.Everyone here will thank the firefighter for the things they have done to prevent fires______ the environment safer. A. make B. to making C. to make D. from making 有些试题的题干,看上去好象就是固定搭配,我们高兴地完成以后,结果却做错了要从句子结构上或者句子意思上分析,以免步入命题者设计的陷阱此题容易误选D,以为是考查prevent sb. /sth. from doing 这一固定搭配的。
其实,“使环境更安全”是“他们为防火所做的工作”的目的,所以用动词不定式,选C十) 检查有无谓语10.He wrote five novels, two of ______translated into English. A. it B. them C. which D. that 有时看似有两个句子,于是就选连词,正好掉进命题人设计的陷阱事实上,有时貌似句子的“句子”却没有谓语,其中的动词只是一个非谓语动词(多为 分词)此题很容易误选C,以为后面是非限制性定语从句事实上, translated是过去分词,而不是谓语动词,后面不是句子,无须连词,所以答案是B若在translated前加上were,were translated就是谓语,这时就 选连词which (十一) 查看有无连词11.If an excellent Chinese novel is translated into English, ______means many more people in the world can enjoy it.A. as B. which C. what D. that若经查实,前后的确是两个句子,就要看其中一个分句是否已经用了连词。
若已经用了连词,一般不选连词,若没有用连词,就一定要选连词此题已有连词If,选D,若没有If,就选B, which引导一个非限制性定语从句十二)识别相似句型12. ______is known to everybody, light travels much faster than sound.A. It B. As C. That D. What13.______is known to everybody that light travels much faster than sound.A. It B. As C. That D. What14. _____ is known to everybody is that light travels much faster than sound. A. It B. As C. That D. What有的句型十分相似,若不仔细分辨,很容易出错12题选B,as引导一个非限定性定语从句,先行词是后面整个句子13题选A,it是形式主语, that引导主语从句;若又在that前加个is,则应选D, what引导的是主语从句, that引导的是表语从句。
十四)正确把握语境15. I agree with most of what you said, but I don’t agree with ______.A. everything B. anything C. something D. nothing有时孤立地看留空格的那个句子,好象多个答案都可以,但与上下句的意思联系起来,就会发现问题因此,做题时一定要把握语境此题答案选AB答案的意思是I don’t agree with anything 等于I agree with nothing.这就与前一分句的意思发生矛盾了四.方法归纳排除法:排除句子中某些附加成分, 使其简单直接推断法:根据上下文依据,判断空格所依据的信息补全法:补全省略部分,连接思维序列中的断点还原法:通过转换句型还原句子本来面目,以便理解句意分析法:分析句子结构或语言习惯,使句子“合法”小试牛刀:1.Which do you enjoy ______ your spare time playing cards at home or taking a walk in the park?A. spending B. to spend C. spent D. spend2.We must prevent the air pollution ______. A. living better B. live better C. to live better D. live well3.The day he was looking forward to ______ at last.A. came B. come C. coming D. have come4.Don’t take the medicine, it can’t help______ rid of your cold.A. getting B. to get C. to getting D. gets5.She told us。
