单项选择题旨在检测学生对语言基础知识,即语法、词汇和句型的掌握和运用情况。因为它是整个试卷中的“门面”,虽然所占分值不高,但对教学具有明显的导向作用。NMET单项选择填空题的命题原则是:“突出语境,强化语意,强调运用”。高考英语语言知识试题的考查突出了语法必须有语言丰厚的文化背景作为基础进行考查的特点。要求考生能根据题干所给的语境条件,进行分析、对比并能灵活地运用各项英语基础知识。单项填空的命题特征知识覆盖面广语境地位突出交际性原则明确试题题干新颖迷惑性较大灵活性较高陷阱一:利用“合理不合法”的现象“合理”,即约定俗成;“不合法”即不合乎基本语法规范,不受语法规则制约。对策:熟记一些固定表达。1.Youstoryisperfect;I’veneverheardbefore.A.thebetteroneB.thebestoneC.AbetteroneD.agoodone2.----CouldyoutellmethewaytoJohnsons,please?----Sorry,wedon’thaveJohnsonshereinthevillage.A.the;theB.the;aC.不填;theD.The;不填CB陷阱二:改变正常的句型结构对策:运用还原法。再现真面目,主要用来解决一些非正常语序的题目,如被动句、疑问句、感叹句、倒装句、省略句等,我们可以先将其复原为陈述语序再来做题。1.Everyminuteismadefull_____of____ourlessons.A.use;studyB.useful;tostudyC.use;tostudyD.used;studying2.Whowouldyourather_______withyoutomorrow,TomorSmith?A.havetogoB.havegoC.havegoneD.hadgo改为:Youwouldrather____who____withyoutomorrow,TomorSmith?还原为:Weshouldmakefull_____ofeveryminute___ourlessons.CB陷阱三:加入干扰成分这类题往往在题干中加入干扰成分,增加句子的复杂程度,从而达到干扰考生视线的目的。对策:去掉插入成分1.Hebelievesinhimself,___inmyopinionisofthemostimportance.A.thatB.whichC.whatD.As2.Hewilltellyou_____heexpectswillwinsuchamatch.A.whyB.whomC.whichD.who()B()D陷阱四:巧设标点符号标点符号在英语句式中的配合作用是不容忽视的,从英语的句型结构这一角度来看,它甚至是起着决定性的作用——它决定着句子的单复形式,决定着选词造句等其他诸多问题。对策:掌握英语中逗号的作用、常见句子结构及并列连词。1.(1).“Youcan’tcatchme!”Jennetshoutedand_____away.(2).“Youcan’tcatchme!”Jennetshouted,_____away.A.runB.runningC.torunD.ran2.Lastweek,onlytwopeoplecametolookatthehouse,______wanttobuyit.A.noneofthemB.bothofthemC.noneofwhomD.neitherofwhomBDD陷阱五:省略或暗设语境对策:补充省略成分,确定正确选项1.----WhatdoyouthinkmadeMarysohappy?-----_______.A.Becauseofmypassingtheexam.B.Ipassedtheexam.C.BecauseIpassedtheexam.D.Herpassingtheexam.(madehersohappy)D2.---Ican’tfindMr.Morris.Wheredidyoumeethimyesterday?---Itwasinthehotel__________hestayed.A.whereB.whichC.thatD.theone(thatImethimyesterday)A陷阱六:利用母语或文化差异的干扰利用英语和汉语两种语言不同的表现形式、思维方式或表达习惯设题。对策:了解西方文化背景、风俗和思维习惯。1.----Wouldyoulikesomemoretea?----,please.A.NomoreB.JustalittleC.I’vehadenoughD.Yes,IwouldB2.----I’dliketoinviteyoutodinnerthisSaturday,Mr.Smith.----______.A.Oh,no.Let’snot.B.I’dratherstayathomeC.I’mverysorry,butIhaveotherplansD.Oh,no.That’llbetoomuchtrouble.接受邀请时用yes,I‘dlove/liketo;yes,I’dlikethat.或yes,it’sverykind/niceofyou;在表示拒绝时,一般用I’msorry,but…/I’mafraid,but…/I’dlike/loveto,but…C陷阱七:思维定势干扰所谓定势思维,就是习惯性地遵循某一单一模式进行的思维。对策:运用意群及结构分析法意群分析法所谓意群,就是句子中根据句法结构和逻辑关系必须停顿的若干部分。划分意群时首先要保证语法和句子结构正确、规范,在此基础上再考虑意思是否完整通顺。1.Whomwasitupto_____thematter?A.decideB.todecideC.decidingD.Decided2.WangLingwaselected_____allheisthetallest.A.becauseB.becauseofC.forD.as分析:这里考查itisuptosbtodosth这样一个句型。本句的意群应该这样划分:Whom/wasitupto/todecidethematter?如果不能正确划分意群,则很可能会想当然地误选A项。BBMorepractice1.----Shereallysingsperfectly.----Yes,Ihaveneverheard______voice.A.agoodB.abetterC.abestD.thebest2.Afterthestarteryouwillgetabowlofsoup----butonlyonebowlofsoupandneveraskfor______secondserving.A.theB.anC.aD.\BC3.Howpleasedtheboywas____whathisparentssaid!A.hearingB.heardC.hearD.tohear4.Itwas_____theoldclockthattheoldmanspentthewholemorningathome.A.repairB.repairingC.torepairD.inrepair还原为:Theboywasverypleased_______whathisparentssaid!DB还原为:Theoldmanspentthewholemorning_____theoldclockathome.5.Isthemansaidreallytrue?A.thatB.itC.allthatD.thatall6.Thewriterandprofessor,whomIoftenrefertoatthemeetings,_____famousforthoseworks.A.isB.areC.amD.wereC还原为:_____themansaidisreallytrue.()A7.Weshoulddo(more)suchexercisesinthefuture,Ithink,_____thosewedidyesterday.A.asB.likeC.aboutD.than8.Thecountrylifehewasusedto________greatlysince1992.A.changedB.haschangedC.changingD.havechanged[解析]分析语境和句子结构可知,hewasusedto为定语从句,修饰先行词thecountrylife。此空格应填谓语动词。()DB()9.Hehastwosons,____worksasachemist.A.bothofthemB.twoofwhomC.neitherofwhomD.noneofthem10.Tom,_____suretocometomorrow.A.isB.beC.wasD.wouldbeCB11.TomisbetteratphysicsthanJack,butnot________atchemistry.改:TomisbetteratphysicsthanJack,butnot_____atchemistry(asJack).A.goodB.betterC.asgoodD.toogood12.1).----Doyouhaveanything_______?----No,I'mfree.2).----Doyouhaveanything_______?----Oh,thankyou,Icanmanageitmyself.A.todoB.tobedoneC.doingD.doABC_____________________________________13.----HasSamfinishedhishomeworktoday?----Ihavenoidea.He______itthismorning.A.didB.hasdoneC.wasdoingD.haddone14.----IhearJanehasgonetotheHolyIslandforherholiday.----Oh,hownice!Doyouknowwhenshe?A.wasleavingB.hadleftC.hasleftD.leftC____________________________D15.Happybirthday,Alice!Soyouhave_______twenty-onealready!A.becomeB.turnedC.grownD.passed16.Mr.Smithusedtosmoke_______buthehasgivenitup.A.seriouslyB.badlyC.heavilyD.hardly[解析]smokeheavily表示抽烟很凶,aheavysmoker烟鬼。有的考生易根据中文表达选择seriously或badly。[解析]turn此处表示已达到…年龄或时间。BC17.Whenwegottothetopofthemountain,thesunwasrising_____theeast.A.toB.fromC.atD.in18.Couldyoutellmethewayyou’vethoughtof_______.A.todoitB.doingitC.doitD.howtodoitDA()19.Shetoldus______shehaddone.A.allwhichB.allwhatC.allthoseD.allofit20.Amoderncityhasbeensetupin_____wasawastelandtenyearsago.A.whatB.whichC.thatD.whereShetold(usall)whatshehaddone.B(=aplacewhich)A三.单选题经常会出现日常交际用语方面的内容,学生做题时应注意区分中西方文化的差异。二.做题时,不应以定势思维去解那些似曾相识的题,同样的问题放在不同语境
