实战类例
1.(2004年高考全国卷Ⅰ)Sarah, hurry up. I’m afraid you can’t have time to before the party.
A.get changed B.get change C.get changing D.get to change
解析:本题考查get的用法。题意是“萨拉,快点吧!恐怕在宴会前你没时间换衣服”。get可用作系动词,后接过去分词,表示被动语态,如:get lost“迷路”,get dressed“穿上衣服”,get injured“受伤”,get paid“领取工资”等。此处get changed意为“换衣服”。答案为A。又如本单元课文中的一句话:The centre itself got started in the early 1980s, when Chen Chunxian,a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences,opened a private
research and development institute.
答案:A
2.(2004年高考湖南卷)I work in a business almost
everyone is
waiting for a great chance.
A.how B.which C.where D.that
解析:本题考查定语从句。题意是“我在一家公司上班,在这里几乎每个人都在等待着飞黄腾达的机会”。句中almost
everyone is
waiting for a great chance是一个定语从句,修饰前面的先行词business。由句子的结构可知,business在定语从句中应是作地点状语,即almost
everyone is
waiting for a great chance in the business,故引导词要用关系副词where。答案为C。又如本单元课文中的一句话:I want to return home but couldn’t find a company where I could use what I had learnt.
答案:C
3.(2004年高考北京卷)Now that she is out of a job, Lucy going back to school, but she hasn’t
decided yet.
A.had considered B.has been considering
C.considered D.is going to consider
解析:本题考查动词的时态区别。从题干中的is和hasn’t decided两个动作来看,句子用的是现在时态,根据时态一致原则,可先排除A、C两项。题意是“露西失业了,她一直在考虑回去上学,但还没有最终决定”。可知应用现在完成进行时,表示一段时间以来一直在做某事。故答案为B。又如本单元课文中的一句话:Since the early 1990s, China has been enjoying a boom in
scientific and technology development.
答案:B
4.(2004年上海春招)Suddenly, a tall man driving a golden
carriage the girl and took her away, into the woods.
A.seizing;disappeared B.seized;disappeared
C.seizing;disappearing D.seized;disappearing
解析:本题考查识别句子结构的能力以及非谓语动词的用法。题意为“突然,一个驾驶着一辆金色马车的男人抢走了那个女孩,之后消失在那片树林里”。句子的主语是a tall man;driving a golden carriage是分词短语作定语;句中的and连接的是谓语动词seized和took;因为逗号不能起连接作用,故第二个空白处的动词与前面的seized和took不是并列的谓语动词,而应是作结果状语;因为disappear与man是主动关系,故用其现在分词形式作状语。答案为D。又如本单元课文中的一句话:In 2001, Chinese scientists announced that they had completed mapping out their part of the
international human genome project, proving that Chinese scientists are among the world’s best.
答案:D
5.(2003年高考上海卷)The discovery of new evidence led to .
A.the thief having caught B.catching the thief
C.the thief being caught D.the thief to be caught
解析:本题考查动词短语lead to的用法。lead to意为“导致,引起”,其中to是介词,后接名词或动名词。题意是“新证据的发现导致了那个贼的被捉”。显然,catch与the thief之间是被动关系,故要用动名词的被动式。答案为C。又如本单元中的一句话:The programme was started in March 1986 and has led to several breakthroughs in science and technology.
答案:C
