2018屆各地高考考前試題難句解析（五）

21.【2012年全國新課標卷· 完形填空】Indeed, what is called body language is so ___40___ a part of us that it’s actually often unnoticed.

40.A.well       B.far      C.much     D.long

【參考譯文】事實上，所謂的體態語其實就如同咱們身體的一部分，（它是那樣的為我們所熟悉）以至于實際上其時常為我們所忽略。

【參考解析】本題答案為C。這里有個很重要的結構：

A is so much a part of B that   A就如同B的一部分以至于

Sugar is so much a part of our modern life that we only really think about it when,for some reason,we cannot get it.如今，糖在我們的生活中如此司空見慣，以至于只有當我們因某種原因得不到它時才會意識到其重要性。

咱們還要注意其與另一個相似結構的區別：

A is as much a part of B as (is) C   A就像C一樣是B的一部分

The atmosphere is as much a part of the earth as are its soils and the water of its lakes, rivers and oceans.大氣是地球的一部分，就像土壤以及江海河湖里的水一樣。

22.【2016年全國一卷· 完形填空】One thing is ___59___ — Larry went above and beyond the call of duty by getting so close to the burning vehicle!

 59. A. for certain   B. for consideration   C. reported    D. checked

【參考譯文】有一點是確信無疑的，當時萊瑞距離起火車輛如此之近，他的所作所為已經遠遠超出了一個路人該做的。

【參考解析】這里主要有個成語不好理解：

go above and beyond the call of duty 遠遠超過職責范圍

We didn't expect the police officer to drive us home . That was above and beyond the call of duty .我們并不指望那警官會開車送我們回家。那遠超過他的職責范圍了。

23.【2016屆云南昆明市兩區七校模擬調研·語法填空】And we can relax ______ (we) while reading her blog.

【參考解析】本題屬于一種典型的命題失誤。其實這里根本無須填寫任何單詞。《柯林斯高級英語語法詞典》明確指出，relax不是一個反身動詞，不能使用relax yourself這種結構。然而不幸的是這種不規范使用的現象非常常見。《劍橋高階》例句：

After work, they relaxed by going to the pub.

Don't tense your shoulders, just relax.

24.【安徽省高考英語模擬·語法填空】“Just ___67___ (be) in the same picture with my wife when we were ___68___ (basic) babies, it’s unbelievable,” Alex Voutsinas said. (http://ask.yygrammar.com/)

【參考譯文】“在我和妻子基本上還是嬰孩的時候就竟然同框過，這簡直令人難以置信，”Alex說。

【參考解析】67題答案為to be�？疾�不定式形式的感嘆句結構。這種結構多表達“感嘆或愿望”。68題也不簡單，關鍵在于詞類的判斷，這里由于所需之詞在句子中應該修飾前面的動詞were, 所以應該使用其副詞形式，所以本題答案為basically。例句：

Oh, to be young again! 但愿青春再來！

To think I spent all my hard-earned knowledge on you! 想想吧，我已把自己所學都傾注在你的身上。（人教版選修8 p74）

25.【2018英語周報高一版37期·短文改錯】It made me think over fresh grass in summer.......She couldn’t have asked for anything better.

【參考譯文】它使我想到了夏天的嫩草...這正是我最想要的/ 這是最合我心思的啦。

【參考解析】第一句考查動介搭配，把over改為of, 很簡單；第二句話考查人稱指代，把She改為I。難點在于這里出現了一個比較級的否定表達最高級意義的結構—couldn’t have asked for anything better 字面意思是：不能想要更好的東西了，即最想要的東西。值得注意的是該結構的語義功能——對過去事件或經歷做回顧性總結，了解這一點，對于我們寫作意義非小。例句：

“The host was friendly, the apartment was clean and cosy and the location was perfect being just outside the town. Couldn't have asked for anything better!”

I love you guys so much. I couldn’t have asked for a better year, all thanks to you.

“I couldn’t have asked for a better start,” he reflected. “Scoring those goals was a real confidence booster, though I’ve still got some way to go to be at my best. (http://www.hz123456.com/)
