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。
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。
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.
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。
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。
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。
20.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”。
19.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。
18. _________ 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。
17. ----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……”。
