今天为大家带来在高考英语中比较难的几个单选题型,这几个题对于考生的英语语法和词汇的掌握水平有着极高的挑战。
1. A number of graduates prefer to work in big cities, where there are a lot of _____, like convenient transportation, greater opportunities, and better equipment.
A. amusements
B. attractions
C. challenges
D. achievements
解析:这里大家一定要注意“逗号”的使用。在英语中如果逗号连接的不是两个完整的句子,那么这个逗号后面的内容一般是前文某个名词(一般是宾语)的补充说明,说的是一个事儿。由此可以得知 “like convenient transportation, greater opportunities, and better equipment”都是对所要选择内容的补充说明,这些都属于大城市里吸引人的项目。所以,这题要选B。
2. Jim records his physical training every time so that he can _____ it and think about how he should improve it the next day.
A. contribute to
B. lead to
C. attend to
D. refer to
解析:本题其实是对考生的逻辑思维和词汇量的考察。读题可知,Jim每天记录他的训练内容,so that目的是为了他能够A. 对it做出贡献;B. 导致it;C. 出席it;D. 参考it。我们首先要理解第一个it指代的是什么内容—— 很多学生会把第一个it理解成physical training。然而,第一个it指代的是他记录的笔记或者录像之类的。第二个it指的才是实际的physical training。所以,我们只能选D,参照记录的内容来改善实际的训练。
3. Only after Mary read her composition the second time, _____ the spelling mistake.
A. she has noticed
B. did she notice
C. does she notice
D. she noticed
解析:如果大家知道倒装句,那这题并不难。我们看逗号前已经是一个完整的句子,后面的句子缺少主谓语。前一句话用Only+主语的开头做倒装,所以后一句话也要倒装形式。那么我们只能在B和C当中选择。前一句话中Mary read而不是Mary reads,说明这是过去时,后一句也要用过去时。因此,要选B。
4. The old man _____ toothache sighed in great relief.
A. ridding of
B. rid of
C. having rid of
D. to rid of
解析;这道题首先要分析句子成分
The old man _____ toothache 做主语接谓语 sighed。所以_____ toothache 是the old man的后置定语。rid有两种用法:1. be rid of SB/STH; 2. rid SB/STH of SB/STH。很明显这里是第一种用法,所以是被动形式。被动语态中后置定语的动词要变过去分词,所以选B。
5. It was the boy, rather than his teachers, that _____ for what the boy had done.
A. were to blame
B. were to be blame
C. was to blame
D. was to be blamed
解析;这个题的核心考点是在于, be to blame本意就是“该受谴责”不用再加被动了。所以,只能在A和C里选。到底用was还是were取决于主语是the boy还是his teachers。rather than作为并列连词表示“而不是”,所以不能选his teachers。主语为单数,故选was。
这五个考点不同的单选着实给考生卖了不少雷,希望大家通过老师的解析能够透彻的理解解题的思路和方法。
