3.3 典题例析
【例1】Peter is my close friend,who can be what he promises.
A.relied on to do B.relied to do
C.relied on doing D.relying to doing
解析:解本题的关键在于判断rely的语态及含(to)do的语法功能。从句意可知,he与rely on之间存在动宾关系,所以rely on应用被动式,后半句是表示目的状语,to是不定式的符号。另外,B、D两项中on不可少。
答案:A
【例2】Chaplin was known one of the greatest and funniest film actors and this is known us all.
A.for;to B.as;to C.as;by D.for;by
解析:be known as...作为……而出名,be known to...为……所熟知。
答案:B
【例3】The country is an island one the south coast.
A.away B.from C.off D.out of
解析:语境表示的含义为“那个国家是个离南海岸线不远的岛国”,所以需用介词off,表示离开岸边在海上。
答案:C
【例4】Mrs Green’s car ran into a large tree and she in the accident.
A.got bad hurt B.was injured badly
C.got badly wounded D.was wounded badly
解析:C、D两项应被排除,因为wound多指在战斗、打斗中受的枪伤、刀伤,而此题指的是在意外事故中受伤,而且从badly可知受伤很严重(hurt表示并不严重,所以A项被排除)。副词的位置在解答本题中不起决定性作用。
答案:B
【例5】Jumping out of airplane at ten thousand feet is quite exciting experience.
A./;the B./;an C.an;an D.the;the
解析:airplane作“飞机”讲是可数名词,experience作“经历”讲时,也是可数名词,且两者在本句中都表示泛指。
答案:C
【例6】At present large number of people the worst danger from automobiles accidents and not pollution.
A.a;thinks;are B.a;think;is C.the;think;are D.the;thinks;is
解析:本句第一空表示“大量的”,而不是“……的数目”;它的谓语应用复数;最后一空的主语是不可数名词danger,所以谓语为单数形式。
答案:B
【例7】Some birds fly in winter and some stay in the north.
A.south B.the south C.in the south D.to south
解析:方向名词east,west,south,north等都可用作副词,表示方向,和来往性的动词连用,前面不再加介词。另外,方向名词也可作名词,但前应带冠词the,本题若选C,则应把in改为to。
答案:A
【例8】The Great Wall winds its way from west to east, deserts mountains,and valleys,till at last it reaches the sea.
A.over;across;across B.through;past;past
C.across;over;through D.past;through;over
解析:沙漠是大片大片的,经过时从其表面穿过,用across;从山的一边到另一边的翻越用over;山谷是中间低两边高的,从其内部穿过用through。
答案:C
【例9】The sunlight came in the window in the roof and lit up the whole room.
A.through B.across C.on D.over
解析:光线是从窗子内部穿过,故用through。
答案:A
【例10】—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:that用于指代前面提到的事。第三句是强调句型的前半部分,被强调的部分是in 1998 when...school,被省略的部分是that he was nearly drowned。
答案:A
