如学员使用其他版本教材,请参考相关知识点 一.题型介绍 1.选择题(交际翻译)
1). A: Would you like another cup of coffee? B: ______.
A. Not at all B. No, I wouldn’t C. No, thanks D. Yes, I like it
此题选C选项,Not at all 表示“不客气,没关系”,与句意不符;B选项不是礼貌回答;而D选项则与题意不符。
2). A: What does your father do?
B: ______.
A. He’s in an office B. He’s a doctor C. He’s very nice D. He’s tall
此题应选B选项,what is your father ’s job?相当于 what does your father do? 表示询问某人职业。显然B选项符合题意。 3). A: Tom thinks math is more difficult than Chinese. B: ______.
A. Joe really can’t agree with him B. Don’t say it like this C. That’s a good idea D. That’s all right 此题应选A选项,agree with sb 意为同意某人的说法。其他三项均与题意不符。
交际用语中的主要知识点:4). I’m sorry to hear that意为对某人遭遇
的事情表示同情,意为听到这个消息我很难过。 All right意为好的,对的;5). What can I do for you? 意为有什么我可以帮你的吗?是卖家对顾客的礼貌用语。 2. 单项选择.(语法与词汇)
知识点:英语中最常见的强调手段,也是我们必须要掌握的方法就是句型强调,即:强调句型。It is / was +被强调的部分+ that (who)…它的疑问句形式是将was 或 is 提至主语前。
过去发生的动作用was表示过去,用is 表示现在时;如: 6). ____was ____that Tom met at the street yesterday. A. it; you B. that; you C. you; who D. it; who 此题应选A选项。
知识点:the other指两者中的另外一个,表示特指:There are two pens. One is red; the other is yellow;
other单用时一般作形容词,充当定语(少有表语):Other people think that....
the one 表示特指这一个。
another是三者或三者以上中的另一个:There are three pens. One is red; another is yellow; another is blue.例如: 7). Lily doesn't like this computer. Let's ask for______. A. the other B. other C. another D. the one
电脑数量三个以上,需要询问的是泛指的另一个,而不是其他特指,或特定的某一个,因此,这道题应选C选项。
知识点:too many的中心词是many, 用法与many相同,因此,too many 和many用来修饰复数可数名词。too much的中心词是much, 用法与much相同,用来修饰不可数名词。Excessive 为形容词,意为过度的,极度的;在此句中,drinking作为名词饮酒,需要形容词excessive来修饰。例如:
8). ______ drinking can sometimes cause health problems. A. many B. much C. too many D. excessive 因此,只有D选项符合语法。
Play down 意为降低,减少,显得不重要,不明显;Play out 意为结束,用完;Play off意为使出丑,暴露弱点;play up意为加油,使恼火等意。例如:
9). Businessman always____ the faults of their products.
A. play down B. play out C. play off D. play up 根据句意,商人们总是会让产品的缺点不那么明显。因此,该题应选A选项。
10). Lily has bought a little house, around _____ some beautiful flowers.
A. which is B. it is C. which are D. them are 解析:该例句中,非限制性定语从句用which来引导,介词加非限制性定于从句的用法,要根据句意来选择相应的介词,这所房子周围有很多美丽的花朵。因此要用介词around,而且花朵为可数名词,谓语动词用复数。因此,该题应选C选项。 词汇语法知识点归纳:
11).Little 与 a little的区别:二者均代替不可数名词,a little 意为有一点儿,表示肯定;little 意为几乎没有,表示否定。 Few 与a few 的区别:二者均代替复数名词,a few 意为有一些,表肯定;few 意为几乎没有,表否定。
12).不定代词something 与anything 的区别:something一般用于陈述句和肯定句中,而anything一般用于疑问句和否定句中;have something to do with . 与……有关。请同学们结合以上两点,做出正确选择。
13). Both… 两者都…., 表肯定;either…两者中的任何一个,表肯定;neither…,两者都不,表否定。Among,在…之间,表示三者以上。
14). as表示“虽然……但是……”,引导让步状语从句,从句通常用倒装语序,把从句的表语、状语或动词原形放在as前面。 例如:Hard as it was raining, they went on working in the field. 虽然天下大雨,但他们继续在田地里干活。
15).abandon 意为放弃,抛弃之意,表示中途放弃。 3.阅读理解
阅读理解以选择题和问答题的形式来考察学生的综合能力。 例如:If you look at the sky one night and see something moving and shining that you have never seen before, it might be a comet (彗星).
A comet sometimes looks like a star. Like a planet, a comet has no light of its own. It shines from the sunlight it reflects (反射). Like the earth, a comet goes round the sun, but on a much longer path (轨道) than the earth travels.
If a comet isn’t a star, what is it then?
Some scientists think that a large part of a comet is water frozen into pieces of ice and mixed with iron and rock dust and perhaps a few big pieces of rock. When sunshine melts (融化) the ice in the comet, great clouds of gas go trailing after it. These clouds, together
with the dust, form a long tail.
Many people perhaps have seen a comet. However no one knows how many comets there are. There may be millions of comets, but only a few come close enough for us to see.
An Englishman named Edmund Halley, who lived from 1656 to 1742, found out a lot about the paths that comets take through the sky. Some comets move out of our sight and never come back. Others keep coming back at regular times. A big comet that keeps coming back was named after Halley because he was the one who worked out when it would come back again. Maybe you have ever seen Halley’s Comets because the last time it came close to the sun and the earth was in the year 1986. Then people all over the world were outside at night to look at it. You will probably be able to see Halley’s Comets when it comes near the earth again. 1. A comet is like ________.
A. sun B. moon C. sunlight D. the earth 2. A large part of a comet is ______. A.water and rock
B. water frozen into pieces of ice and mixed with iron C. ice, iron and rock dust
D. only a few big pieces of rock 3. Maybe many people _______.
A. haven’t seen any comets B. have seen all comets C. have seen a comet at daytime D. have seen a comet 4. Some comets keep coming back ________.
A. at any time B. at noon C. at regular times D. at daytime 5. Halley’s Comets came back _____. A. in 1990 B. in 1980 C. in 1986 D. in 1989
Question1:Who found out a lot about the paths that comets take through the sky?
【答案与解析】本文向我们介绍了有关彗星方面的知识。与地球一样,彗星也是绕太阳旋转的,它本身不发光,靠反射太阳的光而发亮。短文中还介绍了彗星的成因,它拖着的长尾巴是如何形成的以及著名的哈雷彗星名字的由来。
1.D。“Like the earth, a comet goes round the sun, but…”是判断本题的根据。
2.C。根据“…is water frozen into pieces of ice and mixed with iron and rock dust and perhaps a few big pieces of rock.”这句话即能得出答案。
3.D。由第五段的首句“Many people perhaps have seen a comet.”可知。
4.C。“Some comets move out of our sight and never come back. Others keep coming back at regular times.”一句是答案的出处。 5.C。哈雷彗星每七十六年才能看到一次。再结合“…the last
time it came close to the sun and the earth was in the year 1986.”这句话的意思,即可得到答案。
上面的五个问题以及问答题我们都可以很容易的在原文找到对应的部分,这种题实际上是最不容易出错误的,因为只要你找到了对应句,即使有个别的单词不能理解,也能够答对。 注:该篇阅读理解并不是考题,只是给大家举的例子。 3. 完形填空
完形填空也是一种综合能力的考察。
