英语单项选择经典真题演练

英语单项选择经典真题演练 例题1. Ann is so careful that she always goes over her exercises to ______there are no mistakes. A. look for B. make sure C. find out D. think about [解析]make sure是固定词组,意思是“确信”,她检查自己作业的目的是确信不犯错误。 例题2. ——Which of the two English dictionaries will you buy ? —— I‘ll buy ______ of them,so I can give one to my friend,Hellen. A. either B. neither C. all D. both [解析]选D.从so 引导的结果状语从句可判断一个字典给自己,另一个给朋友Hellen,因此可知买两本英语字典,其中both表示“两者都”。 例题3. He ______ two thousand trees since 1985. A. plants B. planted C. will plant D. has planted [解析]since意为自从……以来,应与现在完成式连用,故选D.

______ you free last night? A. Were B. Was C. Are D. Do [解析]last night应于过去式连用。因为它表示具体的过去时间。又因主语为you,故选A. 例题5. 词语解释 I‘m so glad to see you. A. sad B. angry C. pleased [解析]glad意为高兴的选项中只有pleased有此意,故选C. An elephant is a large animal. A. big B. tall C. heavy [解析]large意为大的,只有选项A与其意相近,故选A. This shop sells a lot of things. A. little B. many C. some [解析]a lot of的意思是许多的,只有选项B与其相同,故选B. 这3道题的目的为选意义相同或相近的词,这就要求同学们在学习英语的过程中注意这类词的相互联系。学习生词时力求用过去学的词或短语来解释。

做好英语单项选择题的方法

做好单项选择题的九种方法 1. 排除法 当你对A、B、C、D四个答案都感到似是而非,不能选出正确答案时,就要采取“逐个排除”的方法,经过分析,把没有被排除的答案定为正确答案,这类试题以涉及词汇知识的试题居多。 ◎He does his homework much ____ than he did two years ago. A. careful B. more careful C. carefully D. more carefully 【分析】空白处于主句的状语位置,只能修饰动词does,又因为后面的从句以than引导,是比较状语从句,所以应选择副词比较级。A和B分别是形容词原级、比较级,应排除。C是副词的原级,也应排除,因此,只有D才是正确答案。 ◎Does your brother remember ____ a talk to us last month? A. give B. giving C. to give D. given 【分析】动词remember后不可接动词原形和过去分词,因此A和D可首先排除。虽然remember后可接动词不定式或动名词,但意思有区别,接动词不定式是表示“记住做某事(实际还未做)”,接动名词则表示“记得做过某事(实际上已经做了)”。从该句句意来看C也可排除。自然,剩下的B就是正确答案。 2. 比较法 运用所学的语法知识,仔细地比较四个答案,对其进行时态、语态、语气、非谓语形式及同义词比较,最后选出正确答案。较难的选择填空题一般都可以采用这种方法。 ◎His grandfather ____ for ten years. A. died B. was dead C. has been dead D. has died 【分析】“died”和“was dead”都是一般过去时,因“for ten years”是表示延续时间的状语,谓语时态要用现在完成时,所以选A或B都不行。“has been d ead”和“has died”虽然都是现在完成时,但因“die”是终止性动词,且在有for…或since…的句中,就必须选用延续性动词be。这样,正确答案应该选C。 ◎You will not go there,I’ll go ________. A. neither B. too C. either D. also 【分析】所给答案的四个单词是同义词和反义词,要通过比较它们的用法才能最后选出正确答案。also用在行为动词前,选D不行。其他三个虽然用在句末,但B和C都与句意不符。因此,只有A才是正确答案。 3. 逻辑推理法 有些用词从语法上看并没有错,但句意不合逻辑。因此,做此类题时,就需要根据逻辑推理来选出正确答案。例如:

历年英语专业四级单项选择题真题整理及答案解析

However dull he may be=Dull as he may be. although和as引导让步状语从句,指”尽管”, whatever用来引导名词从句,意思是: 无论什么. 句意: 无论他多么地令人感到乏味.他还是一位非常成功的顶级行政人员. 52. If only I __play the guitar as well as you! A would B could C should D might 正确答案为B). could表示能够,是一种能力. If only引导的虚拟语气,表示”要是….该多好啊!”. 句意: 要是我能像你那样把吉他弹得那么好该多好啊! 53. The party, __I was the guest of honour, was extremely enjoyable. A by which B for which C to which D at which 正确答案为D). at which. 先行词the party作介词at的宾语. 即I was the guest of honor at the party. 关系代词指代the party. 54 It's high time we __ cutting down the rainforests. A stopped B had to stop C shall stop D stop 正确答案为A). stopped. It is (high) time的意思是到了做…的时候了. 从句中一般用过去时构成虚拟语气. 此句型为历年专四考试常考句型. 55 The student said there were a few points in the essay he __ impossible to comprehend. A has found B was finding C had found D would find 正确答案为C). had found. 考察定语从句的时态. 定语从句中的”找到问题”这一动作发生先于主句动词said,所以用had found构成过去完成时. 56 Loudspeakers were fixed in the hall so that everyone__ an opportunity to hear the speech. A ought to have B must have C may have D should have 正确答案为C). may. so that引导目的状语从句,表示为了让每个人都有机会听到讲座. 其他选项均不符合题意. ought to have done=should have done本应该做而实际未做. must have done 表示对过去的肯定猜测. 57 I am surprised__ this city is a dull place to live in. A that you should think B by what you are thinking C that you would think D with what you were thinking 正确答案为A). 本句中should表示惊讶语气, 故不能省略. 句意:你居然会认为在这个城市居住是很无聊的,这点让我很惊讶. 58 Susan is very hardworking, but her pay is not__ for her work.
