误点批答
【例1】I’m busy now. I’m sorry I can’t help ______ the flowers.
A.to water B.watering C.watered D.waters
易错分析 如果考生只习惯于按思维定势、简单结构或迷惑性暗示答题,上题就会错选为答案B;而实际上题干中“I’m busy now.”是关键;句意为:我现在很忙。对不起,我没办法帮助浇花。因此应选A。
答案 A
【例2】More attention should be paid ______ good habits of reading carefully.
A.for forming B.to form C.to forming D.in forming
易错分析 不少同学误选A,认为pay常与for连用。其实此题考查的短语是“pay attention to”,to是个介词;attention成为被动句的主语,故此题选C。
答案 C
【例3】That’s the best way we should think of ______ the dying soldier.
A.helping B.support C.operating D.to save
易错分析 很多同学错选A。其关键是没有搞清句子结构和命题者的命题意图。此题旨在考查“think of the best way to save…”结构,通过定语从句将the best way分离出来,从而加大了题目的难度。此题正确答案是D。
答案 D
【例4】—I haven’t heard from Henry for a long time.
—What do you suppose ______ to him
A.was happening B.to happen C.has happened D.had happened
易错分析 粗心的考生十有八九会选B。原因是忽略了此结构是复杂的疑问句。其结构为“特殊疑问词+插入语+特殊问句的其余部分”,这类疑问句往往用来征询对某一疑问点的判断、认识、看法和态度等。这种问句中,插入语部分一般是:do you think(suppose, guess, say, suppose, hope, believe)等。若省略插入语部分,句子结构仍然成立。就时态来看,排除A和D,而B不合语法。因此应该选C。
答案 C
【例5】由于这场大雨,很多学生都迟到了。
误:Many students were late as a result the big rain.
正:Many students were late as a result of the big rain.
正:It rained hard. As a result, many students were late.
精析 as a result作“结果”、“因此”解,表因果关系,常用来承接上文。如果表达“由于……的结果”,as a result后面要跟of短语,构成as a result of + n. / pron.结构。
【例6】在约翰看来,秋天是北京最好的季节。
误:In John opinion, autumn is the best season in Beijing.
正:In John’s opinion, autumn is the best season in Beijing.
精析 in one’s opinion意思是“在某人看来”,其中one’s可表示不同的所有格,如my, his, her, your, their等,也可以用名词的所有格来代替,如John’s, my father’s等。
【例7】按老师的说明做,不要我行我素。
误:Listen to your teacher’s instructions, don’t do everything as you like.
正:Follow /Take your teacher’s instructions, don’t do everything as you like.
精析 follow /take one’s instructions照某人的说明(指令)做:listen to one’s instructions仅指有意识地听某人的说明或指令,不付诸行动。

知识点测试题分析
1、They took full ______ of the hotel’s facilities.
A.use B.advantage C.disadvantage D.advantages
剖析 此题的答案为B。这里使用的是句型take advantage of sth. /sb.,意思是充分地利用某物或某人,advantage应该用的单数,A项use的使用应该是make use of,表示使用,如果好好使用应该用make good use of sth. /sb.
2、Don’t make ______ in such a quiet place. Which one is NOT right
A.such a big noise B.many noise C.much noise D.any noise
剖析 此题的答案为B。这里是关于noise的使用,noise可以作可数名词,强调的是某种噪音,也可以作不可数名词,泛指嘈杂声,在有形容词big修饰的时候,前面一般加a,所以A,C,D项都是正确的,只有B项中,many和noise互相矛盾。
3、Every minute must be made full use of ______ our lessons, for the college entrance examination is coming.
A.going over B.to go over C.go over D.our going over
剖析 此题的答案为B。本题make full use of的宾语是every minute,其后应接不定式作目的状语。由于该句使用了被动语态,因而原来是make full use of的宾语every minute作了句子主语。
4、______ most people’s opinion, he may not ran for president.
A.To B.For C.Under D.In
剖析 此题的答案为D。in one’s opinion的意思是“以某人的观点,看法”,这里是按大多数人的观点来看,他是不会竞选总统的职位的。其他各项均无此意。
5、Please stop arguing(争辩)about it. It is ______.
A.wasting of time B.time to waste
C.a waste time D.a waste of time
剖析 此题的答案为D。掌握其固定用法,如:a waste of time(浪费时间);a waste of money(浪费金钱);a waste of energy(浪费精力);It’s a waste of time /money to do sth.,这样就知道该题的正确答案为D。
6、______ of the workers in this factory hasn’t changed at all.
A.A number B.The number C.large number D.large numbers
剖析 此题的答案为B。这句话的意思是这家工厂工人的数量一点也没变。a number of是许多,大量的意思,后面加可数名词,谓语动词要用复数。也可以说a large number of,或者large numbers of,而a small number of表示少量。the number of表示的是某物或某人的数量,后面也是可数名词,但谓语动词要用单数。
7、______, he often went mountain-climbing with his friends.
A.At one time B.In no time C.At a time D.In time
剖析 此题的答案为A。at one time是“从前,一度”的意思;in no time = very quickly,是“极快,马上,立刻”的意思,at a time是“每次”的意思;in time = sooner or later, not late,是“迟早,及时,马上”的意思。
8、There is no doubt ______ you’ll fail in the maths exam if you don’t study hard.
A.that B.if C.whether D.why
剖析 答案为A。doubt作名词时,另有no修饰时,要用that引导一个同位语从句;如果doubt是肯定形式,则要用whether, if, when, what等连接引导名词从句,该题的句意为“毫无疑问,如果你不努力学习,你将不能通过数学考试”。There is no doubt…“毫无疑问”,毫无疑问的内容肯定是一个确定信息,所以用that引导同位语从句,doubt…“有疑问”有疑问后内容一定是不确信信息,即一个疑问句,此时就不能用that引导。
9、To her delight, her wish ______ at last.
A.realised B.came true C.carried out D.put into prait
剖析 realise one’s wish实现某人的希望,wish是realise的宾语。故A项应用被动语态,C、D两项都是及物动词词组,come true(实现)是不及物动词词组,答案为B。学生作题时注意realise与come true同义,但realise是及物动词词组,当realize的宾语作主语时,realise应用被动语态,come true是不及物动词词组,没有被动形式。
10、You can take as many as you like because they are free of ______.
A.fare B.charge C.money D.pay
剖析 答案为B。be free of charge是固定搭配,意为“免费”,句意为“你愿意拿多少就拿多少,因为它们是免费的”。charge的意义很多,该题中charge是名词意为“收费”,注意charge作动作表“收费要价”,其结构为charge money for sth.(某物要价多少),注意区别与pay money for sth.意思区别。
10、The frightened animal ______ into the shop.
A.entered B.come C.charged D.walked
剖析 此题的答案为C。这里的charge into意思是冲进去,相当于rush into,这里A项中的enter是及物动词,应该直接用enter the shop。
11、The white blood cells protect the body ______ disease germs.
A.from attacking B.from being attacked
C.from being attacked by D.attacked by
剖析答案为C。protect…from(against)…使……免受……,attack和the body之间存在被动关系,即the body是attack的宾语,且disease germs是attack的执行者,因此答案为C。注意分清句子成份,protect后的宾语与from后的动词构成动宾关系,则from后要被动语态,若是主谓关系,from后用主动语态。
12、Always acting in a strange way, Einstein must have ______ to people around to be mad.
A.shown B.imagined C.appeared D.thought
剖析 答案为C。句意为“因为爱因斯坦的行为举止表现得奇怪,所以周围的人认为他似乎已经疯了”,A项语气太绝对,不合句意,若选B,应用imagine sb. to be+n.(adj.),但是同句子的意义又不一致,若选D,则为:must have been thought to people around to be mad.
【评析】四个动词的意义和结构都不同,解题时不妨将它们分别代入空白处,看结构对不对,意义符合不符合,然后逐个排除。
13、Society ______ of people of widely differing abilities.
A.is made of B.is made from C.is made into D.is made up of
剖析 此题的答案为D,句型be made up of意思是某物是由某些组成部分构成。这句话的意思是社会是由能力迥异的人组成的。be made of和be made from都表示“由……做成”的意思,介词of和from后面的名词表示原料。be made into表示把某物做成某物。
14、He lives in a _______ building. There is a _______ table in his room.
A.ten-ground, three-leg B.ten-store, three-legs
C.ten-storeyed, three-legged D.ten storey, three leg
剖析 答案为C storey(美语story)指“楼房的层”,表示“几层楼”可用数词+storeyed(storied)构成合成词作定语,如a six-storeyed(storied)building,也可直接用数词+storey,如a six storey building。表示身体部位的名词如eye,leg,hand,hair等可用+ed的形式与数词或形容词构成合成词,作名词定语。如:a one-eyed man,a two-headed bird,a white-haired girl, a one-handed throw等。
15、Is there any ______ tickets for tonight’s performance
A.chance of getting B.possible to get
C.time of getting D.room to get
剖析 此题的答案为A。这里使用的句型是get /have a /any chance of doing sth. /to do sth.,表示可能性,所以这句话是说:是否有可能买到今天晚上的电影票。B项的possible应该改为possibility,其他各项均没有这种说法。
