典题欣赏
1.Mr Black gave his money to those whom he considered .
A.was most worthy B.being worthy C.as being most worthy D.most worthy
【题解】选D。动词consider意为“认为”“把……看作……”,可以和as连用,但后接名词,也可以在宾语后用“to be+形容词/名词”作宾语补足语,其中to be可以省去。根据whom可知所缺部分为宾补,故选D。
2.What he said suggested that we a serious mistake.
A.were making B.had made C.make D.should make
【题解】选B。这句中的suggested作“暗示”“说明”解,其后的that从句中要根据时间用正确的时态。make这一动作发生在suggested之前,属过去的过去,故用过去完成时。
3.“Are you afraid of rats?”“____.”
A.Yes,but not a bit B.Not much
C. No,not a little D.No,not in the least
【题解】选D。not in the least意为“一点儿都不”,进一步地加强了否定的语气,也可说not a bit,意思是一样的。选项A回答矛盾,选项B应改成not very much,选项C也是回答矛盾,not a little是“非常”的意思,应改成not a bit。
4.Talking with him,you are sure to be able to a lot about what you don’t know.
A.know B.learn C.catch D.study
【题解】选B。根据句意,应用learn,表示“学会”“学到”。learn表示“学”的范围较广,可指知识,也可指技术或其他方面的情况。study由只强调学校中专业及学科知识的学习或研究,不用于技术或生活等方面的学习。know通常不与表示能力的词连用,catch作“听清”“听明白”,不符合题意。5.Which house is it____you are interested in?
A.that B.where C.what D.which
【题解】选A。这是一个特殊问句的强调句型,特殊问句的强调句一般都只强调疑问词,强调句中无论强调什么句子成分,一般只用that,不用where,what或which,故选A。
6.Is this museum_____you visited the other day?
A.that B.the one C.which D./
【题解】选B。首先将该句变成陈述句,可以看出面,museum是主语,is是系动词,空格部分应是表语,表语后有一个定语从句,表语the one等于the museum,定语从句的关系代词that/which作visited的宾语,在此句中被省略掉了。故选B。如果在museum前有定冠词,应选A、C或D,句子就变为:Is this the museum(that/which)you visited the other day?
7.He called to give mean urgent____that the date of the meeting was advanced from the 10th of August to the3rd of July.
A.news B. message C.information D.advice
【题解】选B。以上四个名词中,message为可数名词,其余三词都是不可数名词。不定冠词an后接可数名词,故选B。
8. The man was found_____on the ground.
A.lay dead B.1ying dead C.1ying died D.lie lying
【题解】选B。本句是find sb. doing sth.的被动结构be found doing sth.。find一般不用不带to的动词不定式作宾补,而带doing作宾补表示宾语的主动动作。此处lie意为“躺”,为不及物动词,而lay意为“放”,作及物动词,后需带宾语,或用过去分词laid。由此可见只有B项为正确答案。
9.The watch I went wrong again.
A.repaired B.had had repaired C.had it repaired D.have repaired
【题解】选B。根据went判断空格上的动作发生在went之前需用过去完成时。had had的宾语是省略掉的关系代词that或which repaired作that或which的宾补,与宾语存在动宾关系,属 have sth. done结构,故选B。
10. I____to buy this dictionary,but they sold out all the copies of it.
A.meant B.have wanted C.was hoping D.am intending
【题解】选A。根据后句中的,old可知是过去打算买,但没能买到。B、C和D项都应变为过去式才正确,hope一般不用进行时态。

Some animals 8 how they feel by making sound.It is not 9 to tell if a dog is angry because it barks.Birds make several different sounds and each has its own meaning.Sometimes we humans make sounds in the same 10 .We make sounds like“Oh!”or “Ouch!”to show how we feel about something or when we 11 something on our toes.
