1. When I entered, I found that she was reading _________ newspaper, with _________ in her eyes.

A. a, tear                      B. a piece of, tears

C. a, tears                    D. a piece of, tear

【解析】此題容易誤選D，想當(dāng)然地根據(jù)news(消息)和 paper(紙)均為不可數(shù)名詞，推出newspaper(報(bào)紙)也是不可數(shù)名詞；同時(shí)認(rèn)為“眼淚”即“淚水”，“水”不可數(shù)，“淚水”和“眼淚”也應(yīng)該不可數(shù)。但非常有趣的是，newspaper(報(bào)紙)和 tear(眼淚)卻是兩個(gè)可數(shù)名詞，如可說(shuō) a newspaper, two newspapers, a tear, two tears 等。注：若不是將 newspaper 當(dāng)作是供閱讀或傳遞信息的一種東西，而只是把它當(dāng)成一種“紙”來(lái)看待，也可用作不可數(shù)名詞，如：Wrap it in (a sheet of) newspaper. 把它用張報(bào)紙包起來(lái)。

2. Every minute should be made full use of _________ the lessons.

A. to study                B. study              C. studying         D. studied

【解析】此題容易誤選C，認(rèn)為介詞后接動(dòng)詞時(shí)要用動(dòng)名詞。其實(shí)此題的正確答案是A，注意此句謂語(yǔ)為被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)，假若將此句轉(zhuǎn)換成主動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)，則是 We should make full use of every minute to study the lessons, 用的是 make use of … to do sth(利用……做某事)這一結(jié)構(gòu)。另外，還有 make the most of (盡量利用)，make the best of(盡量利用)等短語(yǔ)也可能用于此類試題。請(qǐng)?jiān)倏戳硗庖焕��?/SPAN>

The only way that she thought of _________ enough money was to sell her hair.

A. get      B. to get      C. got       D. getting

答案應(yīng)選B，而不是選D。句子主語(yǔ)是 the only way，that she thought of 是修飾主語(yǔ)的定語(yǔ)從句，不定式 to get enough money 也是修飾主語(yǔ)的定語(yǔ)，也就是說(shuō)，句子主語(yǔ)帶有兩個(gè)定語(yǔ)修飾語(yǔ)。全句意為“她想到的弄到足夠錢的唯一辦法就是把自己的頭發(fā)賣掉”。

3. “Is he a man with good manners?” “No, he is _________ but polite.”

A. anything            B. anyone          C. anybody          D. anywhere

【解析】此題容易誤選B或C，因?yàn)榫渥又髡Z(yǔ)指人，似乎只有B、C才與之一致。其實(shí)，正確答案應(yīng)選A。因?yàn)?/FONT> anything but 是習(xí)語(yǔ)，意為“根本不是”或“一點(diǎn)也不”，不僅可用于事物，也可用于人。如：
