想當然出錯的語法考題 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,想當然地根據news(消息)和 paper(紙)均為不可數名詞,推出newspaper(報紙)也是不可數名詞;同時認為“眼淚”即“淚水”,“水”不可數,“淚水”和“眼淚”也應該不可數。但非常有趣的是,newspaper(報紙)和 tear(眼淚)卻是兩個可數名詞,如可說 a newspaper, two newspapers, a tear, two tears 等。注:若不是將 newspaper 當作是供閱讀或傳遞信息的一種東西,而只是把它當成一種“紙”來看待,也可用作不可數名詞,如:Wrap it in (a sheet of) newspaper. 把它用張報紙包起來。 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,認為介詞后接動詞時要用動名詞。其實此題的正確答案是A,注意此句謂語為被動語態,假若將此句轉換成主動語態,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)這一結構。另外,還有 make the most of (盡量利用),make the best of(盡量利用)等短語也可能用于此類試題。請再看另外一例: The only way that she thought of _________ enough money was to sell her hair. A. get B. to get C. got D. getting 答案應選B,而不是選D。句子主語是 the only way,that she thought of 是修飾主語的定語從句,不定式 to get enough money 也是修飾主語的定語,也就是說,句子主語帶有兩個定語修飾語。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,因為句子主語指人,似乎只有B、C才與之一致。其實,正確答案應選A。因為 anything but 是習語,意為“根本不是”或“一點也不”,不僅可用于事物,也可用于人。如: That old bridge is anything but safe. 那座橋一點也不安全。 My income is anything but large. 我的收入絕對不算多。 The fight is anything but finished. 戰斗絕沒有結束。 Her father was anything but a poet. 她父親根本不是詩人。 Such a man was anything but a hero. 那樣的人絕不算英雄。 4. The children all looked _________ at the broken model plane and felt quite _________. A. sad, sad B. sadly, sadly C. sad, sadly D. sadly, sad 【解析】此題容易誤選A,想當然地認為 look 和 feel 均為連系動詞,所以在其后接形容詞作表語。其實,句中的 look 并不是連系動詞,而是實義動詞(注意與之搭配的介詞 at),所以正確答案應是 D。請再看下面一道題: We don’t care if a hunting dog smells _________, but we really don’t want him to smell _________. A. well, well B. bad, bad C. well, badly D. badly, bad 這是1995年一道上海高考題,此題最佳答案為D。第一個 smell 為實義動詞,意為“聞氣味”、“嗅覺”,smell badly 意為“嗅覺差”;第二個 smell 為連系動詞,意為“聞起來(有某種氣味)”,smell bad 意為“聞起來氣味難聞”。全句意為“我們并不介意一條獵狗的嗅覺不好,但我們的確不希望它的氣味難聞”。 |
