A．the; / B．a; an
C．a; / D．the; an
1．C。考查冠词用法。第一空表泛指，“a sign of...”“……的标志”；第二空and并列的两个形容词friendly和open共同修饰名词attitude，故不用冠词。句意为“一个微笑通常是一种友好而开放的态度的标志”。

A．the; 不填 B．不填； the
C．the; the D．不填； 不填

A．the; 不填 B．a; the
C．a; 不填 D．the; a
3．D。考查冠词的用法。句意为“专家认为最近发现的那幅画可能是毕加索的一幅作品。”第一个空是特指，而第二个空是不确定的，“某一个”之意。故答案为D。
冠词的概念
冠词是一种虚词，用在名词或名词词组的前面，表示名词是特指还是泛指。冠词可分为不定冠词和定冠词两种形式。不定冠词有 a，an。定冠词有 the。其中，a 用在发音以辅音开头的名词之前，而 an 则用在发音以元音开头的名词之前。

A．the；a B．不填；a
C．the；the D．不填；the
1．B。第一个空格指另外种类的动物，所以直接用复数名词表种类，前面不加冠词；第二个空格是泛指另一个不同种类，所以在前面加不定冠词。所以答案为B。
( )2.—Can you tell me what________for “flower” is
—Sorry，I don't know________.
A．Chinese；Chinese
B．the Chinese；Chinese
C．the Chinese；the Chinese
D．Chinese；the Chinese
2．B。第一个空特指“鲜花”的中文如何说，所以要用特指；第二个空是说不懂中文这种语言，语言前面不能加冠词。所以答案为B。
( )3.If we observe carefully，we can find that most of ________ are red，orange and yellow.
A．flowers in nature
B．the flowers in nature
C．flowers in the nature
D．the flowers in the nature
3．B。此题特指大自然里的那些花中的大多数，所以首先flowers是特指，前面要加the；nature表“大自然”不能加任何冠词。
( )4.Jane is ________ taller of the two girls.
A．a B．an
C．the D．不填
4．C。表示两者中之最，需要在比较级前加the，所以答案为C。

A．the; a B．a; the
C．不填； a D．不填； the
14．B。本题考查冠词的用法。首先give somebody a ride是一个固定的动词短语，意思为“载某人”；而Capital Airport是一个由普通名词构成的专有名词，前面必需要加the。如果专有名词中没有普通名词，则专有名词前不加the。例如America和the United States of America。
( )15.When he left ________ college, he got a job as ________ reporter in a newspaper office.
A．不填； a B．不填； the

15．A。本题考查冠词的用法。leave college表示的意思是“大学毕业”；“他在报社当记者”是泛指，所以选择A。
二、代词
从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
( )1. The employment rate has continued to rise in big cities thanks to the efforts of the local governments to increase________.(2011北京)
A．them B．those
C．it D．that
1．C。考查的是代词的用法。句意为“幸亏当地政治提高就业率的努力，大城市就业率一直在提高。”根据句意可以判断政府提高的应该是就业率，此处为特指，而且就是指同一词，因此用it。
( )2. Why don’t you bring________ to his attention that you’re too ill to work on？(2011江西)
A．that B．it
C．this D．him
2．B。考查it用法。据题意“你为什么不让他注意到你，你病得太重了，不能继续工作了这个事实呢？”题中bring...to one’s attention，使某人注意……，it为形式宾语，that从句为宾语从句，放在句末。故选B。
( )3. —Silly me! I forget what my luggage looks like.
—What do you think of ________ over there？(2011重庆)
A．the one B．this
C．it D．that
3．D。A项the one替代单数可数名词，C项it指同类同物；D项that替代不可数名词。本空替代不可数名词luggage，故选D项。句意为“——我真笨！我忘记了我的行李是什么样子了。——你看那边的那个是吗？”。
( )4. I got this bicycle for________： my friend gave it to me when she bought a new one.(2011全国Ⅱ)

( )5. —Would you get me a bar of chocolate from the kitchen，dear
—________one？(2011陕西)
A．Other B．Every
C．Another D．More
5．C。考查不定代词的用法。句意为“亲爱的，你能从厨房里帮我拿块巧克力吗？”A选项other不能单独修饰单数的名词或代词，B选项意为“每个人”不符合题意，D选项根据不存在。
一、考点聚焦

C．another D．other
1．C。句意：经理相信价格增长不会再超过另一个4%。another 又一个，再一个；any other 其他任何；the other 另一个(有范围)；other 别的，其他的，另外的，故选C。
( )2.The two girls are getting on very well and share with each other________.

2．B。根据前半句“两个女孩相处融洽”可推知两人共同之处较多，故选B。
( )3.He doesn't have ________ furniture in his room—just an old desk.
A．any B．many
C．some D．much
3．D。句意：他的房间没有太多的家具——只是一个旧写字台。furniture为不可数名词。much修饰不可数名词，many修饰可数名词，some不用在否定句中，any用在句中表示“他的房间没有任何家具”。
( )4.—Do you want tea or coffee
—________.I really don't mind.
A．None B．Neither
C．Either D．All
4．C。句意：——你想喝茶还是咖啡？——随便，我什么都行。none为“三个及以上什么也不”；neither为“两者中没有任何一个”；either为“两者中任何一个”；all为“三者及以上全部都”，故选C。
( )5.This is the last copy of David Copperfield of this edition left in our shop.I wonder if you still want to buy________.

A．ones B．others
C．the others D．those
8．B。此处表泛指。some...others...一些……一些。
二、代词
Directions：For each of the following unfinished sentences there are four choices marked A，B，C and D. Choose the one that best completes the sentence.
( )1.He thought there would be many people at the show, but when he arrived he found ________.
A．no one B．nobody
C．nothing D．none
1．D。此题主要考查不定代词none的用法。注意句子中的关键词but。由前面的many people可知此处表数量。nobody和no one相对于who来讲；而nothing相对于what而言。句子的意思是“他本以为在表演现场会有许多人，但是当他赶到时却发现没有一个人”。
( )2.I have ________ on my conscience that I haven’t done my duty.
A．one B．it
C．that D．others
2．B。解答此题的关键是找出代词it所指代的内容。根据句意可知，it指代that I haven’t done my duty。此句的意思是“我为自己没有尽到责任而感到愧疚”。
( )3.─Which day do you think is all right to our next meeting
─You make ________. ________ day is all the same to me.
A. one; One B．it; Any
C．that; Some D．this; Another
3．B。考生应掌握一些固定搭配的用法，同时要放在具体的语境里去理解。make it表“做出决定”。any day“任何一天”，表泛指。请看下面的例句：(1)The train leaves in five minutes ─ we’ll never make it(我们绝对赶不上)；(2)另外make it还可指事业上获得成功，如：He’s never really made it as an actor(他当演员从未有所成就)。
( )4.Understanding the culture habits of another nation, especially ________ containing as many different subcultures as the United States, is a difficult task.
A.one B．it
C．that D．the one
4．A。解答此题的关键是掌握代词one的指代用法。根据句子的意思大家可以看出，one指代“文化习惯”。
( )5.The high quality of our shirts makes ________ different from ________ made in other factories.
A．it; that B．them; those
C．us; those D．that; those
5．B。解答此题的关键是分清it，that，those和one各自的指代用法。根据句子的结构和用法可知，them指代的是shirts；those指代“在其他工厂里生产的同类衬衫”。
( )6.I haven’t read ________ of his books, but judging from the one I have read, I think he’s a very promising writer.
A．any B．none
C．both D．either
6．C。解答此题的关键是理解句子的意思。另外考生要对选项中的代词的用法进行辨析，同时注意部分否定和全部否定的区别。由后面的the one I have read可知，“我已经读了一本”。前句应为“我没有全读完他写的两本书”，表部分否定。
( )7.—Could you please spare me some time I’ve something to talk with you.
—Not now, ________ time, please.
A. any other B．some
C．other D．some other
7．D。解答此题的关键是理解句子的意思。由句意可知，答语应为“现在不行，换个时间吧”。some other time“其他的时间”，B项的some time意思是“一段时间”，与句子的意思不符。
( )8.—Which of the two books will you take
—I’ll take ________ and I think ________ of them is very important to me.
A.either; neither B．neither; both
C．both; either D．either; both
8．C。解答此题的关键是理解句子的意思，同时要掌握表示否定和肯定的代词的用法。根据句意可知，答句应为肯定的意思，“我两本书都带”，因为后面讲到“任何一本书对我来说都很重要的”。
( )9.─Who knocked at the door just now
─ I’ve no idea.I just pretended nobody was at home, so I didn’t ask who ________ was.
A.he B．she
C．it D．that
9．C。在具体的语境中正确理解和运用代词是解答此题的关键。该句意思很明确：“别人敲门”，“我没开”。故根本不知道敲门的是谁。只有it有此用法。
( )10.There is a train at 11：30 and another one at 12：05.You can take________，which will get you to Oxford in time for the meeting.
A．both B．neither
C．all D．either
10．D。代词看似简单，其实不易，考生要在整体把握各类代词的基本用法的基础上，重点掌握不定代词的用法区别。either指“两者中任选一个”，符合句意。both指的是“两个都”。all指的是“都(三者或三者以上)”，neither指的是“两者都不”，含全部否定的意义。句意：11：30有一列火车，还有一列在12：05发车。你可以坐这两列中的任何一列，它们都会使你按时到达牛津去参加会议。
( )11.Last night I saw a play in New Times Theater.My seat was next to ________of the mayor.
A．one B．that
C．those D．this
11．B。辨别替代词that和one的关键是体会“特指”和“泛指”的含义。 (1)one(ones)只能代替可数名词，可代替人或物。一般用来代替某一类中的任何一个，即泛指，当有前置或后置定语修饰时，通常用the one。(2)that可代替可数名词单数或不可数名词，一般代替物；those代替可数名词复数。用于特指，多用后置定语来修饰。如：The mistakes made by Chinese students are quite different from those made by Japanese students in English study。that在此用于特指，替代前面提到的seat。句意：昨晚我在新时代剧院看了一场戏。我的座位挨着市长的座位。
( )12.They want to make________ clear to public that they are doing an important and necessary job.
A．that B．this
C．it D．one
12．C。it在此句中作动词make的形式宾语，真正的宾语是后面的that从句。
( )13.—Which driver was to blame
—Why, ________！It was the child’s fault, clear and simple.He suddenly came out between two parked cars.
A．both B．each
C．either D．neither
13．D。neither意为“(两者)都不”。根据所提供的情景“It was the child’s fault, clear and simple.”可判断出两个司机都不应该受到责备，因为是孩子的过错。both表示“(两者)都”，两个司机都应受到责备，与所提供的情景矛盾。either意为“两者之一的；(两者之中)随便哪一个的；两者中任何一方的”，其意思是两个司机中的任何一个都应受到责备。each意为“每一个”，表示多于两个，与下文中的two parked cars矛盾。
( )14.The information he gave us is more important than ________we got ourselves.
A．one B．those
C．that D．the one
14．C。考查代词。因information 为不可数名词，所以不能用one，those，故排除A、B、D三项。
( )15.—Does anyone know where Peter lives
—________.
A．I B．Me
C．Mine D．Myself
15．B。由题意可知这是一个省略句。“我知道皮特住哪里。”的英语表达为I know where Peter lives.可先排除C、D两项。简略答语中第一人称常用me/us来代替I/we，这是习惯用法。故答案为B。
( )16.You should pay much attention to all of the differences between ________ culture and your own.
A．the other B．other
C．another D．some others
16．C。本题考查代词的用法。根据句子的意思和语境的要求，此处是把自己的文化和另外的某一种文化进行比较。所以使用another，表示泛指另一种。
( )17.You will find as you read this book that you just can’t keep some of these stories to________.You will want to share them with a friend.
A．itself B．yourself
C．himself D．themselves
17．B。keep...to oneself 意思是“将……秘而不宣”。这句话的意思是“你会发现，当你读这本书的时候，你会忍不住把其中的一些故事和你的朋友一起分享”。
( )18.The doctor advised Vera strongly that she should take a holiday, but ________ didn’t help.
A．it B．she
C．which D．he
18．A。本题考查替代词的用法，由上文可知，空格处不指人，而是指上文的语意，排除B、D两项；由题干中表示转折的词but可知，该句不是非限制性定语从句，排除C项。A项中的it指代上文叙述的内容。
( )19.Cars do cause us some healthy problems—in fact far more serious ________ than mobile phones do.
A．one B．ones
C．it D．those
19．B。替代上文出现的同类事物中的一个用one，复数用ones；而it与that都表示特指，所以不要误选that的复数those。故选B。
( )20.We asked John and Jerry, but ________ of them could offer a satisfactory explanation.
A．either B．none
C．both D．neither
20．D。本题考查代词的用法。前一句话已经说明了John and Jerry两个人，可据此排除表示三者的代词none，but为转折连词，所以后面应该使用表示否定意思的词。
三、主谓一致
从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
( )1. The factory used 65 percent of the raw materials, the rest of which ________saved for other purposes.(2011安徽)
A．is B．are
C．was D．were
1．D。本题考查主谓一致。the rest of which 引导的是定语从句，为定语从句的主语。rest做主语时，应视其指代的内容来确定谓语动词使用单数还是复数。which指代的先行词为raw materials，为可数名词复数，即the rest of which为复数，A、C可排除。主句谓语动词used使用的是一般过去时，故B也不合适，选D。
( )2. One－third of the country________ covered with trees and the majority of the citizens________ black people.(2011湖南)
A．is; are B．is; is
C．are; are D．are; is
2．A。本题考查主谓一致的用法。题意为“全国三分之一的面积被树林覆盖，并且国民多数为黑人。”前半句country为单数，指一个国家，并且是一个国家三分之一的面积，是个概量词，所以be动词用单数。后半句citizens为复数，指国民，并且指国民的大多数，表示具体很多的数量，所以be动词用复数。
( )3.He is one of the old scientists who ________nothing about his personal income and fame.
A．cares B．care
C．is caring D．are caring
3．B。one of＋可数名词复数作先行词，且在定语从句中充当逻辑上的主语时，谓语动词用复数。
( )4.With more forests being destroyed，huge quantities of good earth ________ each year.
A．is washing away
B．is being washed away
C．are washing away
D．are being washed away
4．D。huge quantities of＋名词，谓语动词应该与quantity的数保持一致，所以谓语动词用复数，而且土壤是被侵蚀，所以用被动语态。
( )5.The company had about 20 notebook computers but only one－third ________ used regularly.Now we have 60 working all day long.
A．is B．are
C．was D．were
5．D。分数作主语时，谓语动词的单复数由分数所表示的名词的单复数来决定，由于此处表示三分之一的笔记本电脑，所以为复数，答案为D。
主谓一致
主谓一致，即句子的主语和谓语在数上要保持一致。它是中学英语重点语法内容之一，也是高考必考的语法点之一。下面我们从三方面来看看高考中有关主谓一致的一些高频考点。
Ⅰ.从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
( )1.The Smith's family ________ a large one.His family________ very fond of their old house.
A．are；are B．is；are
C．are；is D．is；is
1．B。family在作“家庭”整体时，谓语动词用单数，但若表示“家庭成员”，谓语动词用复数。
( )2.The Olympic Games ________ held every ________ years.
A．is；four B．are；four
C．is；five D．are；five
2．B。the Olympic Games作主语，谓语动词用复数。
( )3.Three fourths of the earth's surface ________ covered with water.
A．is B．are
C．was D．were
3．A。分数作主语，谓语动词与分数后的名词一致，earth's surface是可数名词单数，所以谓语用单数。
( )4.There ________ I'd like to answer this evening.
A．are one or two letters
B．has one or two letters
C．is one or two letters
D．have one or two letters
4．A。one or two后加可数名词复数，谓语动词用复数。
( )5.Not only I but also Jessie and Mary ________ tired of having one examination after another.
A．is B．are
C．am D．be
5．B。not only...but also...连接两个主语，谓语动词用就近原则。
( )6.Now on the ceiling of our classroom ________ four lights.
A．hang B．are hanged
C．hanged D．hangs
6．A。这是一个倒装句。句子主语为four lights，所以谓语动词用复数形式。而且hang是不及物动词，不用被动。
( )7.It is said the police ________ trying their best to catch the murderer.
A．have B．has
C．is D．are
7．D。police是复数名词，谓语动词用复数。
( )8.I have finished a large part of the book；the rest ________ more difficult.
A．is B．are
C．was D．were
8．A。the rest作主语时，谓语动词的数与其修饰的名词保持一致。

A．no one B．nobody
C．nothing D．none
1．D。此题主要考查不定代词none的用法。注意句子中的关键词but。由前面的many people可知此处表数量。nobody和no one相对于who来讲；而nothing相对于what而言。句子的意思是“他本以为在表演现场会有许多人，但是当他赶到时却发现没有一个人”。
( )2.I have ________ on my conscience that I haven’t done my duty.
A．one B．it

( )5.The high quality of our shirts makes ________ different from ________ made in other factories.
A．it; that B．them; those
C．us; those D．that; those
5．B。解答此题的关键是分清it，that，those和one各自的指代用法。根据句子的结构和用法可知，them指代的是shirts；those指代“在其他工厂里生产的同类衬衫”。
( )6.I haven’t read ________ of his books, but judging from the one I have read, I think he’s a very promising writer.
A．any B．none
C．both D．either
6．C。解答此题的关键是理解句子的意思。另外考生要对选项中的代词的用法进行辨析，同时注意部分否定和全部否定的区别。由后面的the one I have read可知，“我已经读了一本”。前句应为“我没有全读完他写的两本书”，表部分否定。
( )7.—Could you please spare me some time I’ve something to talk with you.
—Not now, ________ time, please.
A. any other B．some
C．other D．some other
7．D。解答此题的关键是理解句子的意思。由句意可知，答语应为“现在不行，换个时间吧”。some other time“其他的时间”，B项的some time意思是“一段时间”，与句子的意思不符。

( )9.─Who knocked at the door just now
─ I’ve no idea.I just pretended nobody was at home, so I didn’t ask who ________ was.
A.he B．she
C．it D．that
9．C。在具体的语境中正确理解和运用代词是解答此题的关键。该句意思很明确：“别人敲门”，“我没开”。故根本不知道敲门的是谁。只有it有此用法。
( )10.There is a train at 11：30 and another one at 12：05.You can take________，which will get you to Oxford in time for the meeting.
A．both B．neither
C．all D．either
10．D。代词看似简单，其实不易，考生要在整体把握各类代词的基本用法的基础上，重点掌握不定代词的用法区别。either指“两者中任选一个”，符合句意。both指的是“两个都”。all指的是“都(三者或三者以上)”，neither指的是“两者都不”，含全部否定的意义。句意：11：30有一列火车，还有一列在12：05发车。你可以坐这两列中的任何一列，它们都会使你按时到达牛津去参加会议。
( )11.Last night I saw a play in New Times Theater.My seat was next to ________of the mayor.
A．one B．that
C．those D．this
11．B。辨别替代词that和one的关键是体会“特指”和“泛指”的含义。 (1)one(ones)只能代替可数名词，可代替人或物。一般用来代替某一类中的任何一个，即泛指，当有前置或后置定语修饰时，通常用the one。(2)that可代替可数名词单数或不可数名词，一般代替物；those代替可数名词复数。用于特指，多用后置定语来修饰。如：The mistakes made by Chinese students are quite different from those made by Japanese students in English study。that在此用于特指，替代前面提到的seat。句意：昨晚我在新时代剧院看了一场戏。我的座位挨着市长的座位。
( )12.They want to make________ clear to public that they are doing an important and necessary job.
A．that B．this
C．it D．one
12．C。it在此句中作动词make的形式宾语，真正的宾语是后面的that从句。
( )13.—Which driver was to blame
—Why, ________！It was the child’s fault, clear and simple.He suddenly came out between two parked cars.
A．both B．each
C．either D．neither
13．D。neither意为“(两者)都不”。根据所提供的情景“It was the child’s fault, clear and simple.”可判断出两个司机都不应该受到责备，因为是孩子的过错。both表示“(两者)都”，两个司机都应受到责备，与所提供的情景矛盾。either意为“两者之一的；(两者之中)随便哪一个的；两者中任何一方的”，其意思是两个司机中的任何一个都应受到责备。each意为“每一个”，表示多于两个，与下文中的two parked cars矛盾。
( )14.The information he gave us is more important than ________we got ourselves.
A．one B．those
C．that D．the one
14．C。考查代词。因information 为不可数名词，所以不能用one，those，故排除A、B、D三项。
( )15.—Does anyone know where Peter lives
—________.
A．I B．Me
C．Mine D．Myself
15．B。由题意可知这是一个省略句。“我知道皮特住哪里。”的英语表达为I know where Peter lives.可先排除C、D两项。简略答语中第一人称常用me/us来代替I/we，这是习惯用法。故答案为B。
( )16.You should pay much attention to all of the differences between ________ culture and your own.
A．the other B．other
C．another D．some others
16．C。本题考查代词的用法。根据句子的意思和语境的要求，此处是把自己的文化和另外的某一种文化进行比较。所以使用another，表示泛指另一种。
( )17.You will find as you read this book that you just can’t keep some of these stories to________.You will want to share them with a friend.
A．itself B．yourself
C．himself D．themselves
17．B。keep...to oneself 意思是“将……秘而不宣”。这句话的意思是“你会发现，当你读这本书的时候，你会忍不住把其中的一些故事和你的朋友一起分享”。
( )18.The doctor advised Vera strongly that she should take a holiday, but ________ didn’t help.
A．it B．she
C．which D．he
18．A。本题考查替代词的用法，由上文可知，空格处不指人，而是指上文的语意，排除B、D两项；由题干中表示转折的词but可知，该句不是非限制性定语从句，排除C项。A项中的it指代上文叙述的内容。
( )19.Cars do cause us some healthy problems—in fact far more serious ________ than mobile phones do.
A．one B．ones
C．it D．those
19．B。替代上文出现的同类事物中的一个用one，复数用ones；而it与that都表示特指，所以不要误选that的复数those。故选B。
( )20.We asked John and Jerry, but ________ of them could offer a satisfactory explanation.
A．either B．none
C．both D．neither
20．D。本题考查代词的用法。前一句话已经说明了John and Jerry两个人，可据此排除表示三者的代词none，but为转折连词，所以后面应该使用表示否定意思的词。
三、主谓一致
从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
( )1. The factory used 65 percent of the raw materials, the rest of which ________saved for other purposes.(2011安徽)
A．is B．are
C．was D．were
1．D。本题考查主谓一致。the rest of which 引导的是定语从句，为定语从句的主语。rest做主语时，应视其指代的内容来确定谓语动词使用单数还是复数。which指代的先行词为raw materials，为可数名词复数，即the rest of which为复数，A、C可排除。主句谓语动词used使用的是一般过去时，故B也不合适，选D。
( )2. One－third of the country________ covered with trees and the majority of the citizens________ black people.(2011湖南)
A．is; are B．is; is
C．are; are D．are; is
2．A。本题考查主谓一致的用法。题意为“全国三分之一的面积被树林覆盖，并且国民多数为黑人。”前半句country为单数，指一个国家，并且是一个国家三分之一的面积，是个概量词，所以be动词用单数。后半句citizens为复数，指国民，并且指国民的大多数，表示具体很多的数量，所以be动词用复数。
( )3.He is one of the old scientists who ________nothing about his personal income and fame.
A．cares B．care
C．is caring D．are caring
3．B。one of＋可数名词复数作先行词，且在定语从句中充当逻辑上的主语时，谓语动词用复数。
( )4.With more forests being destroyed，huge quantities of good earth ________ each year.
A．is washing away
B．is being washed away
C．are washing away
D．are being washed away
4．D。huge quantities of＋名词，谓语动词应该与quantity的数保持一致，所以谓语动词用复数，而且土壤是被侵蚀，所以用被动语态。
( )5.The company had about 20 notebook computers but only one－third ________ used regularly.Now we have 60 working all day long.
A．is B．are
C．was D．were
5．D。分数作主语时，谓语动词的单复数由分数所表示的名词的单复数来决定，由于此处表示三分之一的笔记本电脑，所以为复数，答案为D。
