3. 选择疑问句:
选择疑问句是说话者提出两种或两种以上的不同情况,让对方选择回答的疑问句。其结构是“疑问句+选择部分”。选择部分由or连接,or前面的部分读升调,or后面的部分读降调。
选择疑问句不能用yes或no回答,而必须具体的选择答复。
Is your bag yellow or black?
It’s black.。
Would you like some tea or
coffee? Either will do.。
Which do you like better, singing or
dancing? I like dancing better.
4. 反意疑问句:
反意疑问句是指在陈述句之后附加一个意思与之相反的简短问句,问对方是否赞同的疑问句。附加问句的否定式必须缩写。
(1)肯定的陈述句后跟否定的附加问句,否定的陈述句后跟肯定的附加问句。
I am your teacher, aren’t I?
He didn’t study hard, did he?
(2)如果陈述句中含有否定副词never(从不,决不),hardly(几乎不)或其他表示否定代词或形容词,如nothing, none no one, nobody, neither, few, little等,则附加问句只能用肯定式。如:
They hardly write to each other, do
they?
He has found nothing, has he?
Few people knew the secret, did they?
(3)当反意疑问句是“否定陈述句+肯定附加问句”时,英语与汉语的回答习惯存在差异。英语回答时只看实际情况,若答语的具体内容是肯定的就用“Yes+肯定结构”,答语的具体内容是否定的就用“No+否定结构”,而译成汉语时,则必须把yes译“不是”,把no译成“是的”。
---You won’t be away for long, will
you? 你不会离开太久,是吗?
---Yes, I will.不,我会离开很久。
---No, I won’t.是的,我不会离开很久。
---I don’t think she’ll come by bike,
will she? 我认为她不会骑自行车,会吗?
---Yes, she will.不,她会骑自行车来。
---No, she won’t.是的,她不会骑自行车来。
四. 由what, how引导的感叹句的构成形式、用法及区别
感叹句是表示喜、怒、哀、乐以及惊异等感情的句子。句末用感叹号“!”,读时用降调,感叹句往往由what或how引导,what修饰名词,how修饰形容词,副词或动词。
1. what引导的感叹句:
(1)what + a/an +形容词+单数可数名词+陈述句(主语+谓语)
What a beautiful city it is!
What an interesting story she told!
(2)what+形容词+复数可数名词/不可数名词+陈述句(主语+谓语)
What expensive watches they are!
What terrible weather it is!
2.How引导的感叹句:
(1)How+形容词/副词+陈述句(主语+谓语)
How cold it is!
How hard he works!
(2)How+陈述句(主语+谓语)
How he loves his son!
How I miss you!
(3)How+形容词+a/an+单数可数名词+陈述句(主语+谓语)
How tall a tree it is!
(4)上述两种感叹句可以互相转换。例如:
What a clever boy he is!→How clever the boy is!
What a cold day it is!→How cold it is!

_________ useful computer it is!
A. What B. What a C. What an D. How
答案:B。该题考查的是感叹句的结构。这个感叹句的中心词是一单数可数名词computer, 所以要用what来修饰,又因为useful第一个发音是辅音,what之后的不定冠词用a,而不用an。
