●思路开拓

实战类例

1.-You haven't been to Beijing,have you?

-_____.How I wish to go there!

A.Yes,I have B.Yes,I haven't

C.No,I have D.No,I haven't

【解析】 本题考查反意问句的答语。首先,根据下文“我多么希望去那儿呀!”可推断出答话人没有去过北京。但是,本题易受汉语习惯的影响而误选B项:“你没有去过北京,是吧?”“是的,没有去过。” 英语的习惯是“yes”配用肯定句,“no”配用否定句;既然是“没去过”就要配用“no”,实际上,英语的“no”是针对句中所陈述的事情“到过北京”而言的;而汉语的“是的”是表示“对,你说得对”,是针对说话人的观点而发表议论。这种英汉差异主要发生在两种句型中:一种是由“否定陈述句+ 肯定简略句”(如本题),另一种是“否定的一般疑问句”,如:“Isn't today your birthday?”“No,it isn't.”(今天不是你的生日吧?对,不是。)故答案为D。

【答案】 D

2.Hello,I _____ you _____ in London.How long have you been here?

A.don't know;were B.hadn't known;are

C.haven't known;are D.didn't know;were

【解析】 本题通过语境考查动词的时态。A项是“我现在不知道你曾在伦敦住过”。B项是过去完成时,此处因没有一过去动作与之相比较,故不能用。C项是“我直到现在还不知道你现住在伦敦”。由下文的How long have you been here?可知题意是“现在才知道”。因此只有D项符合题意。又如:Mathilde! Oh,yes.Sorry,I didn't recognize you.Where have you been all these years./Oh,this book is new to me,but I thought I had read it before./Smith has just arrived,but I didn't think he would come until tomorrow.

【答案】 D

3.-I drove to Zhuhai for the air show last week.

-Is that _____ you had a few days off?

A.why B.when

C.what D.where

【解析】 本题考查在语境中辨析表语从句的引导词。语境为:“上周我开车到珠海看了航空表演。”“所以你请了几天假?”英语中可用That's why…句型表示“所以就……;这就是做……的原因”,如:It's raining heavily.That's why I have to stay at home./Is that why you did it?而what是关系代词,引导从句时通常在从句中作主语、宾语或表语,填入此句中会出现语法错误。when与where则与题意不符。

【答案】 A

4.They have made up their minds to ring the bells nonstop for two weeks as a protest against heavy trucks which run _____ through the narrow High Street.

A.now and then B.day and night

C.up and down D.over and over

【解析】 本题考查根据语境辨析短语的意思。now and then时而,不时地;day and night夜以继日地;up and down来回地;over and over反复地,再三地。根据语境“他们决定连续两周不停地敲钟,以抗议夜以继日穿梭于狭窄的High Street大街上的载重汽车。”可知答案。

【答案】 B

5.Try _____ at the back door if nobody answers you at the front door.

A.to knock B.to be knocking

C.knocking D.having knocked

【解析】 本题考查非谓语动词的用法。动词try后可接不定式或动名词作宾语,但意义大不相同。try to do sth.意为“尽力去做某事”,强调做某事有一定困难,需要付出努力和艰辛;try doing sth.意为“试着去做某事”,强调事情做过之后会有什么样的结果或是什么样子。比较:I tried to stand on my head but couldn't./I tried standing on my head but it gave me a headache.此题题意是“如在前门没人应答,你可试着敲敲后门(看是否有人给你开门)。”故可知答案为C。

【答案】 C

well-dressed man came into a famous jewellery shop.He explained that he wished to buy a pearl(珍珠) for his wife's birthday and that the price didn't matter since business had been very good for him that year.After examining a number of beautiful and valuable pearls,he chose a nice black one that cost$5 000.He paid for the pearl,shook hands with the jeweller and left.

A few days later the man returned and said his wife had liked the pearl so much that she wanted another one just like it.It had to be exactly the same size and quality(质地) as she wanted a pair of earrings(耳环) made.“Can you give me any advice on how to get such a pearl?”said the man.The jeweller replied,“I would say it's nearly impossible to find an exact one like that pearl.”

The rich man asked the jeweller to advertise(登广告) in the newspapers,and offered $25 000 for the matching pearl.Many people answered the ad(广告),but nobody had a pearl that was just right.Just when the jeweller had given up hope,a little old lady came in.To his surprise,she pulled the wonderful pearl from her handbag.“I don't like to sell it,”she said sadly.“I inherited(继承) it from my mother,and my mother inherited from hers.But now I really need the money.”

After some discussion as to a reasonable price and the type,the assistant showed him dozens of necklaces and helped him to choose.At last James chose one and left the shop promising to return at five o'clock.When,half an hour later than planned,James did return to the shop with his future wife Laura,the assistant acted as if she had never seen him before.When she was asked to show them some necklaces,she first broughtout some inexpensive ones for them to choose,and then gave them the one she hadprepared.A choice was soon made and they went away satisfied.James would certainly come back to buy what he wanted when he got married.

An American woman Anna Jarvis was the first person to decide that mothers should have a holiday in their honour each year. Miss Jarvis started her campaign(战役) in 1906 in her home city Philadelphia. She wrote thousands of letters to congressmen(国会议员), city officials, teachers and newspaper publishers, proposing(提议) an official holiday for mothers. She travelled all over America, trying to get support(支持) for the idea. Her battle went on for years.

In 1914 the Congress declared(宣布) the second Sunday in May each year as Mother's Day. Anna Jarvis wanted Mother's Day to be a simple event. She thought children could honour their mothers by spending some time with them as an act of love and respect. However, the holiday turned out to be a major event for department stores, flower shops and greeting-card industry, which Miss Jarvis didn't like.

Americans spend millions of dollars on gifts for their mothers on this day. Younger children often try to prepare and serve breakfast for their mothers. Fathers may offer to take care of children so that mothers can enjoy themselves. The holiday becomes an important time for family gathering.

Cornelia's Jewels

It was a bright morning in the old city of Rome many hundred years ago.In a vine-covered summer house in a beautiful garden,two boys were standing.They were looking at their mother and her friend,who were walking among the flowers and trees.

“Did you ever see so handsome a lady as our mother's friend?”asked the younger boy,holding his tall brother's hand.“She looks like a queen.”

“Yet she is not so beautiful as our mother,”said the elder boy.“She has a fine dress,it is true;but her face is not noble and kind.It is our mother who is like a queen.”

“That is true,”said the other,“there is no woman in Rome so much like a queen as our own dear mother.”

Soon Cornelia,their mother,came down the walk to speak with them.She was simply dressed in a plain white robe.Her arms and feet were bare,as was the custom in those days;and no rings nor chains glittered about her hands and neck.For her only crown,long braids of soft brown hair were coiled about her head;and a tender smile lit up her noble face as she looked into her sons' proud eyes.“Boys,”she said,“I have something to tell you.”

They bowed before her,as Roman lads were taught to do,and said,“What is it,mother?”

“You are to dine with us today,here in the garden;and then our friend is going to show us that wonderful casket of jewels of which you have heard so much.”

The brothers looked shyly at their mother's friend.Was it possible that she had still other rings besides those on her fingers?Could she have other gems besides those which sparkled in the chains about her neck?

When the simple out-door meal was over,a servant brought the casket from the house.The lady opened it.Ah,how those jewels dazzled the eyes of the wondering boys!There were ropes of pearls,white as milk,and smooth as satin;heaps of shining rubies,red as the glowing coals;sapphires as blue as the sky of that summer day;and diamonds that flashed and sparkled like the sunlight.

The brothers looked long at the gems.

“Ah!”whispered the younger;“if our mother could only have such beautiful things!”

At last,however,the casket was closed and carried carefully away.

“It is true,Cornelia,that you have no jewels?”asked her friend.“Is it true,as I have heard it whispered,that you are poor?”

“No,I am not poor,”answered Cornelia,and as she spoke she drew her two boys to her side;“for here are my jewels.They are worth more than all your gems.”

I am sure that the boys never forgot their mother's pride and love and care;and after years,when they had become great men in Rome,they often thought of thiss cene in the garden.And the world still likes to hear the story of Cornelia's jewels.
