2. Is there a bank near here?
这是there be的一般疑问句,把be动词放在句子的开头,句子结尾用问号,读句子的时候用升调。对于这类句子的肯定回答是:Yes, there is.或者Yes, there are.否定回答是:No, there isn’ t.或者No, there aren’ t.
注意:there be表示“某地有某物”;have (has)表示“某人有某物”。同学们在表达的时候不能相混,一定要分清楚。例如:
There is a book on the desk. 桌子上有一本书。
I have a book on the desk. 我有一本书在桌子上。
3. Where is the post office?
“Where is/are …?”是用来询问某人或某物在哪里的常用句型,其结构为:

“Hark!”cried the first in fear, as a low sound was heard from somewhere nearby, Braggart, who was light and nimble, climbed up a tree like a squirrel(松鼠), leaving his friend, who was not so active, to face the danger alone! Quickwit could do nothing but throw himself on the ground and pretended(假装) to be dead; for he had heard that bears would never touch a dead body. In no time the bear camp up to him, sniffed(用鼻子吸气) at him. Quickwit did not dare to move; and the bear, thinking him dead, went off into the wood again, leaving him quite unharmed!
When Braggart saw that the danger was over, he came down from the tree and tried to pass off the matter with a joke. “Well, my friend Quickwit,” he said, “what did the bear say to you when he put his mouth close to your ear?”
“He told me,” replied Quickwit, “never again to trust a man who talks big like you!”

【答案与解析】
Ⅰ. 单项选择。
B。本题考查there be的一般疑问句的用法,表示“某地有某物”应该用there be句型,
故排除C, D项;there be句型构成一般疑问句时直接把be动词放在句子的开头,因为本句的主语a book是单数,所以be要用is。
2. B。本句考查介词的用法,在两者之间用介词between。本句子的意思是“商店在早上8点到下午5点之间营业”。among是表示在多者之间,介词from经常和to搭配构成介词短语from to 表示“从......到......”的意思。介词at用在点钟前,例如:at six o’clock 在6点钟。
3. B。由they’re opposite to each other 可知他们是相对的位置关系。
4. B。本句子是考查介词的用法,在表示一个物体在另一个物体外部的前面用介词短语in front of,而介词短语in the front of表示一个物体在另一个物体内部的前面。根据句意选B。
5. C。Excuse me用于问路、插话、要离开、表示异议等场合,常在事发前使用;此题是问路,故选C。
6. C。句意:“哪一条路是去邮局的?”,“去……的路”应该用“the way to …”,故选C。
7. C。本句子是考查介词的用法,表示“去某地的路”要用短语the way to someplace,在这个短语中固定搭配介词to,不能用介词of。
8. B。“向左转”应该是“turn left”;“on the left”意为“在左边”。
9. C。“…away from +地点”意为“离……有多远”。
10. C。“spend some time (in) doing sth.”意为“花费多长时间做某事”。
11. B。“enjoy doing sth.”意为“喜欢做某事”。
12. C。“Alice很漂亮。她看起来像她妈妈。”;“looks like”意为“看起来像”。
13. C。表示“人感到……”,应该用-ed结尾的形容词;因此本题选C。
14. A。“spend +时间/金钱+on sth.”意为“在……花费时间/金钱”。
15. C。“be good at= do well in”意为“在……做的好”。
【真题链接】
1.B。根据答语“但是中央大街有几家书店”可知应为否定回答,结合前句“are there any book stores around here?”可知B答案正确。
2.B。根据句意可知,此处泛指“一个更好的居住环境”;better的读音以辅音音素开头,应用不定冠词a修饰。故选B。
3.B。句意:天气预报说明天将会有另一场暴雨。there will have形式不对;there will be将会有;there has形式不对;there has been已经有。根据句意可知,这里考查的是there be 句型的将来时,故应选B。

Dear Mary,
I know you are arriving tomorrow. But I’m sorry that I can’t meet you at the airport.
So I’d like to tell you how to get to my house. Take a taxi from the airport to Fengshou Road. Go down this road and turn right till you pass a supermarket. Then go through Sixth Avenue. When you see a post office, turn right and you’ll see a white house. That’s my home.
I hope you will have a good trip.
Yours,
Lily
