【重点难点解析】

1. It's time I went and picked up my little girl from school.

我该去学校接小女儿了。

(1)本句中运用了句型It's time(that)+sb. +动词+ed/should+动词原形,意思是“是某人该做某事的时候了”。句型中的动词过去式并不是表示过去时间的动作,而是表示虚拟语气。该句型可用It's time for sb. to do sth. 代替。所以上句也可为:It's time for me to go and pick up my little girl from school. e. g.

It's high time we went to work. 我们现在该去上班了。

(2) pick up“接(某人)上车,取(某物)”解。课文中的pick up就有这种意思。

2. Often at night she would hear a long low whistle and the sound of a metallic noise.

她经常在晚上听到长长的低沉的口哨声,还有金属的响声。

本句中的would do sth. 这一句型,用来表示过去的习惯性动作。e. g.

They would help each other when they were in trouble.

遇到困难时,他们总要互相帮助。

在很多时候,would do sth表示过去的习惯动作,常可跟used to互换。但would常用于书面语,used to多用于口语;would没有“现在已无此习惯”的含义。used to则表示“过去有 此习惯,现在已无此习惯”。would要与表示动作的动词连用,used to则既接动作动词,也 可接表状态的动词。e. g.

①He would go swimming in summer.

=He used to go swimming in summer.

过去他夏天常游泳。

②She would live in Beijing. (×)

She used to live in Beijing. (√)

她过去常住在北京。

3. I can see it fastened to a nail next to the hole in the wall, but it is not fastened to that wire.

我看到绳子是系在墙上洞口旁边的钉子上,而不是系在那根铁丝上。

句中的fastened是过去分词作宾语补足语。过去分词的这种用法常用于以下的复合结构中。 see/hear/watch/find. . . +sb. /sth. +过去分词表示“看见/听见/发现……某人/某物被……”的意思。e. g.

①I saw the child badly treated by his father.

我看到这孩子受到父亲的虐待。

②I never heard the song sung in German.

我从来没有听到这首歌用德语唱过。

see/hear/watch/find. . . +sb. /sth. +现在分词和see/hear/watch/find. . . +sb. /sth. +过去分词

上面的结构中现在分词表示动作的进行,而且与其前的宾语的关系是主动关系。而下面的结构中的过去分词着重动作的完成,表明动作的结果,而且与宾语的关系是被动关系。e. g.

①We saw the boy taken away by an old man.

我们见一位老人把那男孩带走了。

②We saw an old man taking the boy away.

我们看着那老人把那男孩带走了。

4. There is no doubt about it.

这是肯定无疑的。

(1) There is no doubt about it. 是表示“肯定”的日常用语,相当于I have no doubt about it, 或I'm sure of it, 表示对某事很有把握,毫不怀疑。e. g.

There is no doubt about his success. 毫无疑问,他一定会成功。

(2)该句型中的介词短语也可以用that从句代替。e. g.

There is no doubt that you will be warmly welcomed.

你肯定会受到热烈欢迎。

(3)该句型也可以用肯定句,接从句时用whether来引导。e. g.

There is some doubt whether he will come on time.

他能否按时到达不能肯定。

doubt作动词表示“怀疑”解。e. g.

①I doubt the truth of the news. 我怀疑那则新闻的真实性。

②I doubt whether/if he will keep his word. 我怀疑他是否会遵守诺言。

③I don't doubt that our team will win. 我队会获胜是没有疑问的。

5. Around his head was a brown snake.

一条棕色的蛇缠住了他的头。

这是一个倒装句,把状语放到句首,同时将主语和谓语颠倒。采用这种句型,是为了叙事的紧凑,还可以达到句子的平衡协调,把较长的主语放在句子的后部,避免头重脚轻。e. g.

On the floor lay a man killed in the fire.

地板上躺着一个被火烧死的人。

典型例题

【基础题】

★例1 Ifby any chance someone comes to see me,ask them to leave a_______.

A.message B.letter C.sentence D.notice

导析:该题考查了基本名词“message”所形成的搭配即“have/leave/take/give a message(捎口信或给某人留口信)”。答案:A

★★例2 It_______long before we________the result ofthe experiment.

A.willnot be...willknow B.is...willknow

C.willnotbe...know D.is...know

导析:该题考查的是long before的用法。注意句型It will not be longbefore+动词的一般现在式,意思为“不久才会……。答案:C

【易错题】

★★例1 When he was there,he________go to that coffee shop at the corner after work every day.

A.would B.should C.used to D.might

导析:“used to”和“would”一样都表示过去经常发生的习惯性动作。但二者有区别:would主要表示与过去的另一时间相比,常与表示过去的时间状语连用。而“used to”主要表示与现在相比,含有“过去如此,现在不再这样”的意思。答案:A

★★★例2 Who will see to________everything returns to normal before dark?

A.it B.that C.whether D.itthat

导析:该题考查see to后接宾语从句应使用it作形式宾语,意思是“注意使;务必使”,类似的有:enjoy(享受),hate(恨),like(喜欢),love(爱)等词后。I hate it when you speakto me with your mouth full.答案:D

★★例3 The founding of the People's Republic of China is a great________inhistory.

A.affair B.business C.matter D.event

导析:该题考查词语辨析。affair指已经发生的或是必须去做的事情,多为泛指。business常指一种任务、责任或是职责要求去做的事情。matter常指应给予注意、考虑或需处理的事情。event多指重大、重要的事情。答案:D

A.carry out B.carrying out

C.carried out D.to carry out

导析:该题重在理顺句子结构,句子的主干部分为The managers dis-cussed the plan,其后为that引导的定语从句,that在从句中充当see的宾语,carry out与the plan为被动关系,即see sth.done结构。答案:C

★★例2

--Alice,why didn't you come yesterday?

--I________,but I had an unexpected visitor.

A.had B.would C.was goingto D.did

导析:根据题意“我本来打算来”,但因这位”visitor”出乎意料的来访而未成,表示过去的愿望未能实现,依据所给答案,只有C项正确。同meant/hadmeanttoto do sth.答案:C

【高考题】

★★★例1(2000年,全国)________the general state ofhis health,it may takehim a while to recover from the operation.

A.Given B.To give C.Giving D.Having given

导析:此题考查分词用作状语的用法,句中的主语同give之间为被动关系,所以应该用given,其作用相当于Ifhe is giyen the general state ofhishealth。答案:A

★★★例2(2002年,上海春季)Prices of daily goods________through a computer can be lower than store prices.

A.are bought B.bought

C.been bought D.buying

导析:该题考查的是过去分词作定语。bought与daily goods之间是被动关系,其作用相当于一个定语从句which arebought。答案:B

【阅读分析点拨】

LONDON-Organic fruit, delivered right to the doorstep. That is what Gabriel Gold prefers, and he is willing to pay for it. If this is not possible, the 26-year- old computer technician will spend the extra money at the super marker to buy organic food.

“Organic produce is always better, ” Gold said. “The food is free of pesticides(农药), and you are generally supporting family farms instead of large farms. And more often than not it is locally(本地) grown and seasonal, so it is more tasty. ” Gold is one of a growing number of shoppers buying into the organic trend, and supermarkets across Britain are counting on more like him as they grow their organic food business. But how many shoppers really know what they are getting, and why are they willing to pay a higher price for organic produce? Market research shows that Gold and others who buy organic food can generally give clear reasons for their preferences-but their knowledge of organic food is far from complete. For example, small amounts of pesticides can be used on organic products. And about three quarters of organic food in Britain is not local but imported(进口) to meet growing demand. “The demand for organic food is increasing by about one third every year, so it is a very fast-growing market, ” said Sue Flock, a specialist in this line of business.

1. More and more people in Britain are buying organic food because .

A. they are getting richer

B. they can get the food anywhere

C. they consider the food free of pollution

D. they like home-grown fruit

答案:C

提示:第二段第一、二行提到了这种有机食物的好处,主要是没有施农药。

2. Which of the following statements is true to the facts about most organic produce sold in Britain?

A. It grows indoors all year round.

B. It is produced outside Britain.

C. It is grown on family farms.

D. It is produced on large farms.

答案:B

提示:对于英国出售的有机食品来说,文中倒数第四行提到,四分之三由国外进口。

3. What is the meaning of “the organic trend” as the words are used in the text ?

A. Growing interest in organic food.

B. Better quality of organic food.

C. Rising market for organic food.

D. Higher prices of organic food.

答案:A

提示:trend“倾向”,表示大家日益增长的兴趣。

4. What is the best title for this news story?

A. Organic food-healthy, or just for the wealthy?

B. The making of organic food in Britain.

C. Organic food to import or not?

D. Good qualities of organic food.

答案:A

提示:本文重点谈了有机食物的好处--有利于健康,同时也提及它比较贵,A合适。其他选项不妥,文中并非主要谈有机食物的制作,也不是进口与否。

解答:

答案与分析:

Old Hill由于偷盗贵重的珠宝被关进了监狱。圣诞节快到了,牢房里只剩他一个人,他感到很寂寞。突然两个警察把一个年轻人关进了牢房。他打量那个衣着讲究的年轻人,可以判断他出身一个富有家庭。他问年轻人是为何被关进监狱。年轻人说他的汽车轮胎被酒瓶扎破了。Old Hill认为那也不犯法。最后年轻人拐弯抹角地说,那个酒瓶是在一个躺在街道上的醉汉的大衣里的(意思是他从醉汉身上碾了过去)。

1. 从后面所讲的别的囚犯都释放来看,Old Hill一个人在牢房里,要填alone。2. 从上下文可以得知,Old Hill由于偷盗贵重的珠宝才被关进监狱的。因此,应填valuable。3. Old Hill偷盗了贵重的珠宝,就得在监狱里呆五年多。应当填prison。4. 从监狱的看守买礼物来看,是圣诞节到了。故应填Christmas。5. 另外几个囚犯被释放了,牢房里只剩Old Hill一个人,他也就无法和任何人说话了。应填nobody。6. 那些警察在圣诞节以前,忙于给亲友买礼物。应当填busy。7. Old Hill感到寂寞,躺在床上也睡不着,要填asleep。8. Old Hill在挣钱养家的时候,自然很劳累。所以,应当填tired。9. 牢房有别的人,因此只要有动静,Old Hill就会听到的。应填heard。10. 门开了人才会进来。故应填opened。11. 警察在关进囚犯之后,先锁了门才能离开。要填locked。12. 那个年轻人自然是穿着好衣服。应填wore。13. 年轻人穿着讲究,当然是出身有钱人家庭。要直rich。14. Old Hill不知道那个年轻人为何也被带到监狱来。故应填brought。15. 年轻人认为他不走运,才出了那件事。应当填luck。16. 汽车轮胎扎破并不是大事故,而是一件很普通的事情。因此,应当填写ordinary。 17. 一般情况下,汽车轮胎扎上钉子,才会被扎破的。要填nail。18. 年轻人说他从一个酒瓶上驶过去,才把轮胎扎破了。Old Hill 就说他太粗心了。要填careless。19. Old Hill认为,年轻人从洒瓶上驶过去也不犯法,故应填law。20. 从年轻人的回答可以看出,那个醉汉是躺在街道上的。实际上,他的汽车从醉汉身上驶过去了。这也是他被带到牢房的原因。要填lying。

A. you take, you, advise B. you take, one, advice

C. taking, one, advice D. taking, you, advise

问题:

It’s the third time that Kate has been ill, ____ ?

A. isn‘t it B. hasn’t she

C. isn‘t she D. hasn’t it

解答:

陈述部分是主从复合句,变成附加疑问句时,一般应与主句的主语和谓语一致。that Kate has been ill是定语从句。it‘s是it is的缩写。故正确答案为A。不过,要提醒同学们注意的是:当陈述部分的主句是I think, I believe, I guess等结构时时, 附加疑问句要与后面的从句主谓一致。此时,还要特别注意否定转移现象。 如:I don’t think he is right, is he ?

常见问题8: 高二英语 Uint 15 A famous detective

-What ____ it be ?

- It ____ be a mail box, for it is moving . It ____ be a car .

A. can, can‘t, must B. can, can, must

C. can, mustn’t must D. must, mustn‘t can

解答:

考查情态动词can, must的用法。must在表示“推测”时,只能用于肯定句中,不能用于否定句中。can表推测时,可用于否定句和疑问句中,故先排除C、D,从for it is moving,可知第二空应填can’t(不可能),否则与第三空会自相矛盾。正确答案为A。

问题:

My friend John ____ while he ____ his bicycle and hurt himself .

A. had fallen, rode B. had fallen, was riding

C. fell, was riding D. fell, were riding

解答:

分析句子结构不难发现,第一空是和and hurt himself并列的,hurt在此时过去式,故第一空填fell。ride在while 引导的从句中表示进行性动作, John 就是在“was riding”中fell的。故正确答案为C。

解答:
