重點難點
1. Wow, the Great Wall is amazing, isn’t it? 哇,長城令人驚訝,是不是?
反意疑問句表示說話人對所陳述的事情有所懷疑或不肯定,想通過對方的回答來加以肯定或否定。
★反意疑問句的構(gòu)成有兩種。第一種結(jié)構(gòu)是:肯定的陳述句+逗號+一般疑問句的簡略否定+問號,對于反意疑問句的肯定或否定回答與一般疑問句的回答方式一樣。如:
① “You are a teacher, aren’t you?” “Yes, I am. /No, I’m not.”
“你是個教師,是不是?”“是的。/不,我不是!
② “She was here yesterday, wasn’t she?” “Yes, she was. /No, she wasn’t.”
“她昨天在這里,是不是?”“是的。/不,沒在。”
③ “They borrowed some money from you, didn’t they?” “Yes, they did. /No, they didn’t.”
“他們向你借了些錢,是不是?”“是的。/不,他們沒向我借錢。”
★第二種結(jié)構(gòu)是:否定的陳述句+逗號+一般疑問句的簡略肯定+問號。對于這種形式的反意疑問句作回答的時候,不要過分注重問句中的否定詞not在前還是在后,只要事實是肯定的,就用Yes,如事實是否定的,就用No。用Yes回答,后面就不能再用not,用No回答,后面就必須有not,這種情況與中文的表達(dá)習(xí)慣很不一樣。請注意下面例句中中英文在表達(dá)上的差異。
① “Your sister isn’t coming back today, is she?” “Yes, she is. /No, she isn’t.”
“你姐姐今天不會回來,是嗎?”“不,她今天會回來。/是的,她今天不會回來!
② “You can’t do it well, can you?” “Yes, I can. /No, I can’t.”
“這事你做不好,是嗎?”“不,我能做好。/是的,我做不好!
③ “There wasn’t a football game on TV last night, was there?”
“Yes, there was. /No, there wasn’t.”
“昨晚電視里沒有足球賽,是嗎?”“不,有足球賽。/是的,沒有。”
【注】在簡略回答中,如果主語有變化,并用but在語氣上加以轉(zhuǎn)折,也會出現(xiàn)用Yes和not搭配以及用No而不用not的情況。如:
① “Your father isn’t a doctor, is he?” “No, but my mother is.”
“你父親不是個醫(yī)生,是嗎?”“對,不過我母親是個醫(yī)生!
② “Most of you aren’t from Beijing, are you?” “Yes, but I’m not. /No, but I am.”
“你們大多數(shù)人不是北京人吧,是嗎?”
“不,大多數(shù)是,但我不是。/對,但我是北京人!
★陳述句中含有never, few, little, hardly, nothing, nobody等具有否定含意的詞,后面疑問部分應(yīng)用肯定形式。如:
① You never saw Mr King before, did you? 你以前從未見過金先生,是嗎?
② There are few apples left on the tree, are there? 樹上沒剩幾個蘋果了,是嗎?
③ He has little money for food, does he? 他幾乎沒錢買吃的,是嗎?
④ Little Mary can hardly walk by herself, can she? 小瑪麗還不太會自己走路,是嗎?
⑤ There’s nothing in that box, is there? 盒子里什么也沒有,是嗎?
⑥ Nobody saw you do it, did they? 沒人看到你干這事吧,是嗎?
【注】在口語中,陳述部分一般用降調(diào),但后面疑問部分可用升調(diào),也可用降調(diào)。如疑問部分用升調(diào),則表明提問者對陳述部分的真實性把握不大,希望對方來確定;如疑問部分用降調(diào),則表明提問者對陳述部分的真實性有一定把握,只須對方來印證一下。

★amazing是amaze的現(xiàn)在分詞形式,用作形容詞,意為“令人大為驚訝的”,在句中作表語或定語,主語往往是某物。如:

答案與提示
一、1. A consist是不及物動詞,和介詞of連用,不能用于被動語態(tài)。
2. B experience作“經(jīng)驗”解時,是不可數(shù)名詞,作“經(jīng)歷”解時,是可數(shù)名詞。此處experience意為“經(jīng)驗”,是不可數(shù)名詞,因此,先排除A、D兩項。C項不符合題意。
3. A 本題主要考查too much和much too的區(qū)別。much too的中心詞是too,much修飾too,后接形容詞或副詞;too much的中心詞是much,too修飾much,too much修飾不可數(shù)名詞或單獨使用。difficult是形容詞,所以選A。C項的錯誤在于much用作副詞時只能修飾比較級;D項的such只能修飾名詞。
4. D everyday是形容詞,意思是“日常的”“每天的”,在句中作定語,修飾名詞;every day是副詞短語,意思是“每天”,在句中作狀語,修飾動詞。
5. C enough修飾形容詞或副詞時,通常位于形容詞或副詞的后面。(not) enough后接不定式表示“(不)夠……去做某事”。too…to do意為“太……以致不能”,不符合邏輯。故選C。
6. C 當(dāng)hundred, thousand, million, billion等前面有具體數(shù)詞時,其后不可以加s,也不可以加of,故A、B和D三項不符合題意,可以排除,C項正確。反之,如果他們前面沒有具體的數(shù)詞,其后必須加s,也必須加of,構(gòu)成hundreds of,thousands of, millions of, billions of短語,才可以用來修飾名詞。
7. B across指從表面“橫穿”;through指“從中間穿過”。根據(jù)句意應(yīng)選B。
8. D 此題考查spend…(in) doing sth.句型,表示“做某事花了……時間”。故排除C項;take表示花費的時間時常用句型為:It takes/took sb. some time to do sth.,故排除A項;pay for…不能表示花費時間,故選D項。
9. C 在too…to結(jié)構(gòu)中,當(dāng)句子主語是后面動詞不定式的邏輯賓語時,如果動詞不定式中的動詞是不及物動詞,要用介詞再接賓語。
10. B as在此作介詞,意為“作為”。介詞短語as a writer作狀語。
11. D although = though,意為“盡管”“雖然”,引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句,不能和but或其他連詞連用。
12. D make a contribution to…意為“對……作出貢獻(xiàn)”。其中to為介詞,后跟名詞、代詞或動詞-ing形式作賓語。
13. A 反意疑問句的特點是前肯后否,前否后肯。當(dāng)陳述部分的主語是表示“物”的不定代詞(something, everything, etc)時,反問部分的主語應(yīng)該為it。
14. C 反意疑問句的特點是前肯后否,前否后肯。依據(jù)nobody為否定詞,可以排除B項和D項。同時,當(dāng)陳述部分的主語是表示“人”的不定代詞(somebody, everybody, etc)時,反問部分的主語應(yīng)該為they。所以C選項正確。
15. C a few修飾可數(shù)名詞,a little修飾不可數(shù)名詞,ice water為不可數(shù)名詞,所以排除A和B項。另外,表示“在原有基礎(chǔ)之上增加”應(yīng)用“數(shù)詞 + more + 名詞”或“another +數(shù)詞+名詞”,所以選C項。
16. A used to do sth.是指過去習(xí)慣做某事。選項C若改為was used to staying (習(xí)慣于……)也合題意。
17. B find sb. /sth. doing sth.,意為“發(fā)現(xiàn)……正在做某事/處于某種狀語”,動詞-ing形式在此作賓補(bǔ)。
18. B go on a trip to…意思是“去……旅行”。
19. D be famous for意為“以……而著名”。
20. D 祈使句的反意疑問句除Let’s開頭的用shall we之外,其他的都用will you,故選D。
21. C more意為“額外的”,前面可以用數(shù)詞或no, some, much, many等修飾。故選C。
22. D be amazed at…表示“對……感到驚愕”,at此處表示某種情緒的起因。B項介詞搭配錯誤;A、C兩項缺少連系動詞be。
23. A each后可直接跟of短語,表示“……中每個”,謂語動詞用單數(shù)形式;every作形容詞用,修飾可數(shù)名詞的單數(shù)形式,不能直接與of連用,所以選A。
24. B 此句意思為“他剛才把書放在書架上了”。lay表示“放置”的意思,其過去式和過去分詞都是laid。a moment ago表示應(yīng)該用過去時,故選B。
25. D 本句的意思為“他既有知道又有經(jīng)驗”。末尾的副詞應(yīng)該表示“也”的意思。而用于肯定句末尾的“也”只能用too或as well。但如用too的話,一般應(yīng)用逗號將它和前面的句子隔開。故選用as well。
26. C carry sb. to safety意為“把……抱到安全地帶”,其中to為介詞,后需跟名詞safety作賓語。
27. C 表示“盡可能地……”可以用as…as possible或as…as one can。A項是錯誤的表達(dá),首先排除。B、C、D三項中B項表示速度之快;C項表示時間之快;D項表示動作之迅速。根據(jù)題意選C項。
28. C 請注意區(qū)別以下短語:no more than意為“僅僅”;not more than意為“不多于”;more than意為“不僅是”“超出”;not less than意為“不少于”。句意為“她不僅是我們的老師,她還是我們的朋友!
29. D so far常和現(xiàn)在完成時連用,本句主語是buildings,故使用被動語態(tài)。
30. D 句子主語machine與use是被動關(guān)系,后跟動詞不定式表示目的。
二、1. safe 2. healthier 3. northern 4. funny 5. wonders
6. death 7. peace 8. beauty 9. across 10. staying
11. invited 12. playing 13. attraction 14. building 15. amazing
