专升本考试英语-单选题答题技巧

成考专升本考试英语单选题答题技巧，看了绝对拿高分 做选择题时，最头痛的是在经过筛选只剩下两个选项时，模棱两可，似是而非。那么如何在考试时间内迅速高效选出正确答案，是所有同学都要重视的问题 今天智睿乐德郑老师分享一篇专升本英语选择题作答干货，希望能够帮到大家。 一、单选的解题方法 1．直接法 直接利用相关语法知识，通过题干中的已供信息，捕捉到解题线索，从而得出正确答案的解题方法。例： --Will you come to the net bars(网吧)with me﹖ --Sorry．My mother always tells me______ there． A．not go B．go C．not to go D．to go 根据句意可知此题考查动词不定式的否定形式，即tell sb．not to do sth．，故此题应选C。 2．关键词法 许多题目中都有这样一些词，它们对于快速而准确地判定答案起着至关重要的作用。我们称这些词为关键词key words。找到句中的关键词，也就找到了解题的突破口，例：--He hardly hurt himself in the accident，______ ﹖ A．doesn＇t he B．didn＇t he C．did he D．does he 该题中hardly与hurt是起关键词作用的。凡陈述部分含有hardly，never，little，few 等否定意义的词时，反意疑问句用肯定形式；而hurt一词的过去式与原形相同，此处hurt 未加s，应为过去式。因此本题答案C是正确的。 3.记准固定搭配 My cousin and I often ______ on Sundays. A. play football B. play the football C. plays the football D. plays football 在本题中，play football是固定短语，play和球类之间没有任何冠词，所以B和C 同时被排除了。主语是my cousin and I，所以play不加s，D也被排除了。只剩下A是准确答案了。 4.牢记动词的固定用法 I like_______very much and I’d like ______with my friends this afternoon. A. swimming；to swim B. to swim；swimming C. swimming；swimming D swim；to swim 在本题中，考查了两个固定短语，前者是like doing，后者是would like to do，分辨清楚这两个短语结构，就能准确选出A。 5.准确判断所需词性

I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there’s a big difference between “being a writer” and writing. In most cases individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a typewriter. “You’ve got to want to write,” I say to them, not want to be a writer.” The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the US Coast Guard to become a freelance writer(自由撰稿者), I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found me a room in a New York apartment building. It didn’t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer. After a year or so, however, I still hadn’t got a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to s ell a story that I barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years, I wasn’t going to be one of those people who die wondering. What if I would keep putting my dream to the test (even though it meant living with uncertainly and fear of failure)? This is the shadow-land of hope, and any one with a dream must learn to live there. 51. The passage is meant to __________.
