典型例題
1.The _____is just around the corner and you won’t miss it.
A.bicycle’s shop B.bicycle shop C.bicycles shop D.bicycle’s shop
【題解】選B。名詞做定語(yǔ)如表所屬關(guān)系有兩種情況:①有生命的東西要加’s;②無(wú)生命的東西常用of。名詞做定語(yǔ)如不表所有關(guān)系,往往只用名詞單數(shù)形式。表示什么樣的商店要用名詞單數(shù)形式修飾shop。譯文:自行車商店就在拐角處,你不會(huì)錯(cuò)過(guò)它的。
2.They sold ____boxes of such sweets last week.
A.four dozen B.four dozens C.four dozens of D.four dozen of
【題解】選A。dozen與數(shù)詞或many,several等詞連用時(shí),一般不用復(fù)數(shù)形式,故B、C兩項(xiàng)不選。此外,dozen與數(shù)詞連用作定語(yǔ)時(shí),一般也不加of。但在Two dozen of these are wanted一句中,dozen后面有of是因?yàn)橛邢薅ㄔ~these(或the,his,her,my their等)。Dozens of people were hare一句中,dozens of表示“很多”。
3.On the ground on some hay _____a peasant boy of not more than seventeen.
A.lie B.lying C.lay D.laid
【題解】選C。lay是lie的過(guò)去式,由介詞短語(yǔ)前置而引起的主謂倒裝。以下三個(gè)動(dòng)詞常易混淆,需經(jīng)常練習(xí)。
lie,lay,lain,lying(躺)
lay,laid,laid,lying(擺放,產(chǎn)卵)
lie,lied,lied,lying(說(shuō)謊)
此外還有:
wind,wound,wound,wingding(蜿蜒)
wound, wounded,wounded,wounding(使……受傷)
find,found,found,finding(找到)
found,founded,founded,founding(建立)
4.He said that he would write to us but so far we _____ from him.
A.haven’t heard B.didn’t hear
C.should not heard D.hadn’t hear
【題解】選A。so far通常與現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)連用,轉(zhuǎn)折連詞but前是回憶他的話,but后是目前的結(jié)果“未收到他的信”,but后不應(yīng)當(dāng)是過(guò)去時(shí)或過(guò)去完成時(shí),因此排除B、D兩項(xiàng)。C項(xiàng)與句意不符。
5.It was obvious that the man ____driving on the freeway for almost an hour when he ____that he must come back.
A.was;told B.had been;was told
C.had been;told D.was;was told
【題解】選B。只有had been driving能與時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)for almost an hour連用,而第二空只能用被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài),滿足這兩個(gè)要求的只有B項(xiàng)。
6.Either Tom or I ______to blame.
A.to be B.a(chǎn)m C.a(chǎn)re D.is
【題解】選B。當(dāng)兩個(gè)主語(yǔ)由連詞or,either…or,neither…nor,not only…but also…等連接時(shí),謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞要與鄰近它的主語(yǔ)一致。這里與謂語(yǔ)鄰近的主語(yǔ)是代詞I,所以系動(dòng)詞要用am。如:Not only Alice but also her friends have come. Neither the teacher nor the students are introduced to my wife.
7.One dollar and eighty-seven cents _____enough for the coat.
A.is B.a(chǎn)re C.has D.have
【題解】選A。表示時(shí)間、距離、重量、長(zhǎng)度、度量、價(jià)值等的復(fù)數(shù)名詞做主語(yǔ)時(shí),一般把它看作一個(gè)整體,謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞一般用單數(shù)形式。如:
Twenty pounds is not heavy.
Five weeks off is a good vacation.
8.This is the second time I _____by him;I shall never trust him again.
A.was let down B.have been let down
C.have been put down D.a(chǎn)m let out
【題解】選B。在This/It is the first/second…last time后面的從句一般用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)。如:
This is the first time I have been here.但是在It is time后的從句是虛擬語(yǔ)氣,往往用過(guò)去式。如:
It is(high)time that we went to school.(有時(shí)也可用should加原形動(dòng)詞)。詞組let down意為“使失望”“拆臺(tái)”;put down意為“放下”“鎮(zhèn)壓”“記下”;let out意為“發(fā)出”“泄露”,根據(jù)意思和語(yǔ)法,B為最佳答案,意思為“這是他第二次拆我的臺(tái),我再也不相信他了”。
9.If you go out,who will _____the lady?
A.a(chǎn)ttend to B.care of C.look for D.take care
【題解】選A。attend to意為“照顧”“看護(hù)”,其中的attend是不及物動(dòng)詞。attend也可作及物動(dòng)詞,意為“出席”“參加”“上(學(xué))”“聽(tīng)(課)”“醫(yī)治”等。
10.Della went back to her room,_____to buy her husband Jim a present.
A.with her mind making up B.her mind making up
C.with her mind made up D.her mind being made up
【題解】選C。用介詞with引起的短語(yǔ)常起伴隨狀語(yǔ)的作用。本句中短語(yǔ)的分詞應(yīng)為過(guò)去分詞,表示“決心已下”,具有完成和被動(dòng)的含義。所以A、B兩項(xiàng)都不對(duì);D項(xiàng)為獨(dú)立主格結(jié)構(gòu),但其分詞部分為現(xiàn)在分詞的被動(dòng)式,表示一種進(jìn)行時(shí)的被動(dòng),也不對(duì)。

這兩個(gè)時(shí)態(tài)雖都表示過(guò)去發(fā)生的事,但著眼點(diǎn)不一樣,現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)是要說(shuō)明過(guò)去的動(dòng)作對(duì)現(xiàn)在的影響,而一般過(guò)去時(shí)只是單純的談過(guò)去的動(dòng)作或狀態(tài)本身,不與現(xiàn)在相聯(lián)系。如:
“Come and have breakfast with us.”“Thank you.I’ve just had it.”
“來(lái)跟我們一塊兒吃早飯吧!薄爸x謝,我已吃過(guò)了。”(飽了,吃不下了)

I have seen him.我見(jiàn)過(guò)他了。
I saw him yesterday.我昨天見(jiàn)到他了。
▲現(xiàn)在完成進(jìn)行時(shí)
表示一個(gè)由過(guò)去某時(shí)起一直持續(xù)的動(dòng)作,這個(gè)動(dòng)作可能剛停止,也可能還在繼續(xù)。如:
There you are!I’ve been waiting for two hours!
你到底來(lái)了,我等你等了二個(gè)小時(shí)了!
She is very tired.She’s been working the whole morning.她很累,她干了一個(gè)上午了。
It has been raining,but it has just stopped now.天一直下雨,剛停。
▲有時(shí)現(xiàn)在完成進(jìn)行時(shí)不是指某動(dòng)作一直在不停地進(jìn)行,而是表示一直到說(shuō)話時(shí)的一段時(shí)間內(nèi)一直重復(fù)的動(dòng)作,常常有感情色彩。如:
He has been calling on her several times this week.他這個(gè)星期幾次來(lái)看她。
We’ve been having a lot of rain recently.最近雨水很多。
▲有時(shí)現(xiàn)在完成進(jìn)行時(shí)表示“剛才”或“近來(lái)”發(fā)生的動(dòng)作,也就表示直到說(shuō)話時(shí)為止的一段時(shí)間內(nèi)發(fā)生的動(dòng)作。這一動(dòng)作到說(shuō)話時(shí)已經(jīng)結(jié)束,而且不再繼續(xù)下去。這種用法主要表示某一動(dòng)作所產(chǎn)生的結(jié)果或?qū)ΜF(xiàn)在的影響。如:
You have been cleaning the classroom.I think.
我想你剛才在打掃教室吧。ㄑ酝庵猓篩our clothes are covered with dust.)
The boy has been playing with toys.
那男孩一直在玩玩具。(言外之意:There are toys hare and there on the noor.)
Her eyes are red.She has been crying.她眼睛紅了,她一直在哭。
【注】現(xiàn)在完成進(jìn)行時(shí)和現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)的比較:
這兩個(gè)動(dòng)作都表示“從過(guò)去開(kāi)始一直持續(xù)到現(xiàn)在”的動(dòng)作,有時(shí)可換用,但現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)著重動(dòng)作的結(jié)果,而現(xiàn)在完成進(jìn)行時(shí)著重表示動(dòng)作的未完成,強(qiáng)調(diào)動(dòng)作的持續(xù)性。如:
I have been reading the book.
我一直在讀這本書(shū)。(強(qiáng)調(diào)動(dòng)作的持續(xù)性)
I have read the book.我讀過(guò)這本書(shū)了。(強(qiáng)調(diào)動(dòng)作的結(jié)果)
Who has been drink my wine?誰(shuí)喝了我的酒?(已喝掉)
Who has been drinking my wine?誰(shuí)喝我的酒來(lái)著?(被喝掉一些)
【注】不用進(jìn)行時(shí)態(tài)的動(dòng)詞。感官動(dòng)詞等不可用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)或進(jìn)行時(shí),但可用其現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)。如:
I have known him since I was a child.我從孩子時(shí)起就認(rèn)識(shí)他了。
I haven’t seen him for a long time.我很久沒(méi)見(jiàn)過(guò)他了。

Ⅳ.閱讀理解
A
At first Kate thought the Romanan girl could not speak and understand English.Nadia would not reply to anything Kate said.Kate was in charge of showing Nadia around on her first day at Buckminster Grade School.Kate could not figure out why the school had put Nadia in a class where she could not understand what people were saying.
“Why did they do this?”Kate wondered aloud.“I mean,you can’t learn if you can’t understand the teacher.”
Nadia’s voice was a whisper.“I understand English.I will learn.” Nadia’s English was perfect.
Kate was perplexed.She couldn’t understand why Nadia did not like to speak.Then she realized that moving to a new country probably wasn’t the easiest thing to do.There were hundreds of unfamiliar and unusual to learn--all at the same time.
“There’re a lot of new things to learn,huh?” said Kate.
Nadian nodded rapidly.In a quiet voice she replied,“Many things people say, I do not understand.I have been speaking Enghsh and Romanian all my life,but I do not know what some children are saying.For exaxmple,yesterday a boy asked if I could help him find the USB port on a thin black box he was carrying.Isn’t a port a place for ships?It made no sense to me。
“Don’t worry,” said Kate.“You’ll figure everything out in time.You see,that thin black box was a computer.A USB port is a place where you can connect other machines to a computer.”
Nadia and Kate were quiet after that.They took notes while the teacher gave a maths lesson.To Kate’s surprise,Nadia put up her hand and offered to answer questions at the balckboard.
Nadia handled every question the teacher gave her.Some of the questions were really difficult,and no one understand what was going on except Nadia and the teacher.When the teacher said that Nadia
answered everything correctly,the whole class clapped their hands.
Nadia was smiling when she sat back down next to Kate.“Some things,” she said in a normal voice,“are the same all over the world.”

“If you want to see a thing well,reach out and touch it!” That may seem a strange thing to say.But touching things can help you to see them better.
Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round.But by holding it in your hands,you can feel how smooth and cool the ball is.You can feel how heavy the glass is.The roundness,smothness,coolness and heaviness are all part of the ball.When you feel all these things about the ball, you really see it.
With your skin,you can feel surprisingly well.For example,your fingers can tell the difference between a nickel(五分硬幣)and a dime(一角硬幣)in your pocket.You can feel a tiny drop of water on the back of your hand,or a puff(噴送)of air against your skin.
You can even feel sounds against your skin.Have you ever wondered why some people like very loud music?They must like to feel the sounds of music as well as to hear them.
Most of us like the feel of fur.We like to touch a fur coat or fur collar(衣領(lǐng)).
All children soon learn what “Don’t touch’’ means.They her it often.Yet most of us keep right on touching things as we grow up.In stores,we touch things we might buy:food,clothing,furniture.To see something well,we have to touch it.
The bottoms of our feet can feel things,too.You know this when you walk barefoot.Warm sand,cool grass and a soft rug(地毯)all feel different under your feet.
There are ways of learning to see well by feeling.One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin.Feel the shoes on your feet,the clothes on your body,the air on your skin.At first,it is not easy to feel these things.You are too used to them.
Most exhibits in museums axe just for looking.But today some museums have some things to touch.Their signs say,“Do touch!”
There you can feel the shape of a gun,the smooth silk of a pillow,the rough wood of an old chair.If you want to see better,reach out and touch it.Then you will really see!

Middle school students have some ideas for their future jobs. The most striking contrast is in teaching. 30 percent of girls want to be teachers while only 10 percent of boys want to do the job. As girls, the second largest group would like to act as medical workers (25 percent) and scientists (25 percent).
What boys like to be most are scientists and lawyers (30 perfect separately). The second choice is to become medical workers and businessmen (15 perfect separately). Only 5 percent of girls like to do business and around 15 percent want to be lawyers.
The above numbers show that a large number of girl students as well as boy students want to be scientists.
