现在高考中,英语的单项填空(多项选择)题已不再是单纯考查语法,而是设置了许多语境,将各种语言知识置于语境中,要求考生看懂句干,了解语境,而后借助句型结构、语法原理、词汇搭配等方法选出正确答案,而有的语境设计有一定迷惑性,且结构或词的搭配极富干扰,致使考生容易出错,这便是我们常说的“陷阱题”。
高考真题
例1. 2007全国II
Speaking of all the songs he has written,I think this is probably his______one.
A. better-known B. well-known
C. best-known D. most-known
分析:考生很容易误选B。我们平常所做的许多类似的单选题,答案常是well-known,所以好多同学一看题干,就选了答案B。但在这道题中,题干前半句已经规定了空缺处词语的范围——“最佳的”。所以,应选C。
例2. 2006江苏
A poet and artist______coming to speak to us about Chinese literature and painting tomorrow afternoon.
A. is B. are C. was D. were
分析:误选B。许多同学看到and后,马上想到主语不是一个人,谓语动词用复数,所以选了B。但实际上“a poet and artist”共用一个冠词修饰,表示一个人,这个人既是诗人又是艺术家。主语是一个人,谓语当然要用单数,再结合句子时态,所以,选A。
例3. 2007陕西
He and his wife are of the same ______,they both want their son to go to college.
A. soul B. spirit C. heart D. mind
分析:误选C。我们在中文里常说:某人和某人是同心的。但在英语中,此“同心”非“心脏相同”,而是“思想、想法相同”,所以用mind,应选D。
例4. 2006江西
— I’m dead tired. I can’t walk any farther,Jenny.
— ______,Tommy. You can do it!
A. No problem B. No hurry
C. Come on D. That’s OK
分析:误选B、D。这是我们中文里的习惯说法:“我太累了,走不动了。”“没关系/别急,你能行的。”于是就选了B或D。但实际上,英语中一般是不会这么讲的。根据西方文化习惯,听到“我走不动了”这句话的人一般会鼓励对方继续走下去。而从题干的第二句的后半部分也能看出答话人是在鼓励第一句话的发出者。所以,要选C。Come on的意思是“加油”。
例5. 2006全国卷I
Mary, ______here — everybody else,stay where you are.
A. come B. comes C. to come D. coming
分析:一个破折号,使一个很简单的句子变得看似有些复杂。许多同学看到题后都在想,这个句子是什么类型的复合句,忽略了题干实际上就是破折号连接的两个祈使句;要求Mary做come here这个动作;而everybody else做stay where you are的动作。所以,应选A。
例6. 2006重庆卷
Nobody believed his reason for being absent from the class______he had to meet his uncle at the airport.
A. why B. that C. where D. because
分析:乍一看,感觉这个题目是一个很复杂的从句,不容易理解题干的意思。但实际上,题干中插入了“for being absent from the class”这样一个定语成分。把干扰信息去掉后,这个句子可简化为:Nobody believed his reasonhe had to meet his uncle. 马上就能发现“he had to meet his uncle”其实是“reason”的同位语从句,而现在这个同位语从句缺引导词。答案很容易选择,应该是B。
例7. 2007全国卷I
— The last one______pays the meal.
— Agreed!
A. arrived B. arrives C. to arrive D. arriving
分析:这道题单从语法角度看C、D都可以选。但仔细看题干,我们会发现这组对话实际上是一些人在讨论没有发生的事情,说最后一个到的人付钱,并且其他人都表示同意,所以,这个“the last one”应该还没到,arrive的动作自然只能是将要发生,所以,选C。
认真读题,分析语境,在语境中考虑问题,是解决这类问题最有效的办法。
例8. 2006北京卷
— When do we need to pay the balance?
—______September 30.
A. In B. By C. During D. Within
分析:对话的第二句是个省略句,单凭这句不容易看出句子结构,容易误选。所以答题时,要先补全句子。根据对话的第一句,补全后的回答应为“We need to pay the balanceSeptember 30”。很显然,四个选项中,只有B是正确的。
