高考备考知识点总结高中英语单选题必考点精讲典型“陷 阱题” 50例 1.Mary couldn’t make herself _______ attention to because her classmates made so much noise. A. paid B. to pay C. pay D. paying 答案解析:此题容易误选C, 其实此题应选A。pay attention to 是动词短语,起及物动词的作用,在句中作宾语补足语,与宾语herself构成被动关系。 2.Was it through Mary , ____ was working at a high school , _____ you get to know Tom ? A. who, who B. that, which C. who, that D. who, which 答案解析:此题应选C, 但是许多学生刚好首先排除了C项,他们认为:(1)非限制性定语从句不用关系代词that引导;(2) 强调句型It be + 被强调部分+ that (who)…中,who (that)前不能有逗号。上述两点是对的,在此句中Was it…that…也的确是强调句型,但句中的两个逗号不在强调句型中,它的作用是把非限制性定语从句who was working at a high school与句子其它部分分隔开来。整句话的汉语意思是:玛丽在一所中学工作,你是不是通过她认识汤姆的? 3.Every minute is made full use of _______ our lessons. A. studying B. to study C. study D. being studied 答案解析:此题容易误选A,认为动名词作介词的宾语。其实此题应选B,此句是被动句,转换成主动句就成为we make full use of every minute to study our lessons.。是不定式作目的状语。 4.I agree with most of what you said, but I don't agree with _____.

1 I’ve had a letter from the tax authorities ______ my tax payment. A concerned B concerning Cfor D to 解:B (concerning是介词,译为“关于” 全句:我收到一封税务部门寄来的有关催缴税款的信。) 2_____________________, he does get annoyed with her sometimes. A Although much he likes her B Much although he likes her C As he likes her much D Much as he likes her 解:答案选D。 在这个句子中,as引导让步状语从句,意思是“尽管,虽然”,这时候要求从句要倒装。这个倒装句的要求比较特殊,常把从句中做状语的副词、做表语的形容词或者名词提前。又如:Young as he is, he knows a lot. Child as he is, he knows a lot. (注意:如果是单数名词提前要把冠词去掉。) (Although 引导状语从句时要用正常语序。所以A项改为:Although he likes her much 才正确。) 3 I wonder how he _________ that to the teacher, A dare to say B dare saying C not dare say D dared say 解:答案选D。 dare做情态动词时,后面要直接跟动词原形。dare的过去式是dared. "我纳闷他怎么敢和老师说那样的话" 所以从句意上判断应该用一般过去时恰当。 dare作实义动词用时,就像我们所熟悉的want 一样要有人称和数的变化。后面直接跟不定式。根据这一规则就能排除其他选项。

高考英语单选题十大解题技巧 第一招:还原法 高考命题常以复杂的句型来增加考题的难度,有意给学生造成理解和判断上的困难。面对这种题型,考生要能透过复杂的语言环境,结合语法结构,还原出“庐山真面目”。这样题目就会变得简单,答案就会一目了然。这种结构常为:1)将疑问句还原为陈述句;2)将强调句还原为陈述句;3)将感叹句还原为陈述句;4)将倒装句还原为正常语序;5)将被动语态还原为主动语态。 1. 将疑问句还原为陈述句 【典型考题】例1:Is this school_______ you visited last month? A. one B. the one C. that D. what 【指点迷津】这是一个一般疑问句,如果不用还原法考生会误把this school 分析成定语从句的先行词,反而掉进C项that这个陷进。如果把句子还原成陈述句This school is you visited last month,考生就可以看出这个定语从句缺少先行词the one和引导词that / which。the one 特指this school,that / which作宾语可以省略。因此答案是B项the one。 例2:What have we said _______ her so unhappy? A. makes B. to make C. made D. had made
【指点迷津】答案为B。这是一个特殊疑问句,如果把句子还原成We have said what _______her so unhappy,显然to make 作结果状语。但如果把该句错还原成What we have said _______her so unhappy,就成了主语从句,结果掉进陷阱,误选成C 项made。 2. 将强调句还原为陈述句 例1:—Where did you get to know her?—It was on the farm _______we worked.(20XX年山东卷)A. that B. there C. which D. where 【指点迷津】这是一个强调句型,强调地点状语on the farm。如果把句子还原成陈述句It was on the farm where we worked that I got to know her,考生就可以看出on the farm后where引导了一个定语从句,且省略了that I got to know her这一结构,因此答案是D项where。 3. 将感叹句还原为陈述句 【典型考题】________different life today is_______ what it was 30 years ago! A. How;from B. What a;from C. What;from D. How;with 【指点迷津】这是一个感叹句,如果把句子还原成陈述句Life today is different from what it was 30 years ago.再变为感叹句就很容易选出正确答案A项。但是如果本题不用还原法而直接选择则会很容易掉进陷阱B,错选成What a;from。
