例1、No progress was made in the trade talk as neither side would accept the conditions of ____.
A. others B. the other C. either D. another
答案:B
[解析] 根据上文neither的提示可以看出所指的应该是两者中的另外一个,所以用the other。这句的意思是:贸易谈判没有取得进展,因为双方都不愿意接受对方的条件。
例2、Shanghai is really a fascinating city and we've decided to stay for_________ two weeks.
A. another B. other C. the other D. other's
答案为A。
[解析] another意为“又一,再一”,后面如接two, three等数词或few等时,可与复数形式连用,我们可以把two weeks看作一个整体,在原来的基础上再待两星期。而 other,the other用于两者之间的另一个,other's是other的所有格形式,故B、C、D都不可选。
例3、The Parkers bought a new house but_________ will need a lot of work before they can move in.
A. they B. it C. one D. which
答案为B。
[解析] it指代前面提到的单数名词。指同一个事物,此句中指a new house;而one指“同名异物”;which引导定语从句,但题干中有连词but,并非主从句,which不妥;A为复数,更易排除。
例4、In fact ________ is a hard job for the police to keep order in an important football match.
A. this B. that C. there D. it
答案为D。
[解析] it在句子中作形式主语。真正的主语是to keep order in an important football match。由于空格出现在fact的后面,所以一些考生把它当成了同位语从句,而选了that。而实际上,in fact是介词短语作状语,后不能接同位语从句。译文:实际上,在一次重大的足球赛中,对警察来说,维持秩序是一项很难的工作。
例5、Some of the wheat is from Canada. What about ________?
A. another B. the other C. others D. the rest
[解析] wheat是不可数名词,不能用others代替。the rest既可代可数名词,也可代不可数名词,此处指the rest of the wheat。
例6、If this dictionary is not yours, _______ can it be?
A. what else B. who else C. which elses D. who else’s
[解析] 考查关系代词所有格的用法。who else“其他什么人”,用于主格,宾格。who else's“其他什么人”,用于所有格。
例7、One of the sides of the board should be painted yellow, and ________.
A. the other is white B. another white
C. the other white D. another is white
答案为C。
[解析] 木板一般只有两面,把一面染成黄色的;另一面染成白色的,考查one…the other结构,由此排除B、D;原句结构为“…the other(should be painted)white,为避免重复可省略。
例8、-He was nearly drowned once.
-When was _______ ?
- _______was in 1998 when he was in middle school.
A. that; It B. this; This C. this; It D. that; This
[解析] 用that指代上文提到的事,避免了重复;it指代时间。
例9、-Your coffee smells great!
-It's from Mexico. Would you like_________?
A. it B. some C. this D. little
[解析] some相当于some of this coffee.
例10、Few pleasures can equal ________ of a cool drink on a hot day.
A. some B. any C. that D. those
[解析] 这句话的意思是“在炎热的夏天几乎没有任何乐趣能和饮一杯冷饮的乐趣相比。”that在句子中代表the pleasure。一些考生只注意到Few pleasures是复数,而没有注意到这里指的是饮一杯冷饮的乐趣,误填了those。注意:使用代词时一定要弄清楚指代关系。
