中考英語單項選擇步步走(下)

1. 直接判定法
直接判定法就是運用所學的英語知識,結合題目所提供的信息,從各個選項中直接選出正確答案。無論是什么性質的英語測試,選擇填空題都會有一部分對基礎知識進行考查的題目,有時僅看題干便能知道正確答案是什么。對于這樣的題目,同學們應眼疾手快,一眼看準后就立即作出選擇,以便節(jié)省出更多的時間去對付其他難題。
【例】Could I borrow ________ eraser, please? ________ is broken.
A. your; My B. yours; Mine C. yours; My D. your; Mine
【解析】第一空之后的eraser是名詞,所以此空顯然要填形容詞性物主代詞;第二空中的詞是句子的主語,因此無疑要用名詞性物主代詞。故選D。
2. 排除法
此法又稱篩選法。如果同學們在通讀完題干并且弄清題意后,仍對四個選項舉棋不定,那么不妨采取“逐一排除”的方法。你可以將所給選項一一放到空格處,經(jīng)過仔細分析后再將所有干擾項篩選掉。
【例】He does his homework much ________ than he did two years ago.
A. careful B. more careful C. carefully D. more carefully
【解析】空格處位于主句的狀語位置,修飾動詞does,又因為后面的從句用than引導,是比較狀語從句,所以應選擇副詞比較級。A項和B項分別是形容詞原級和比較級,應排除;C項是副詞的原級,同樣予以排除。故D項為正確答案。
3. 前后照應法
前后照應法實際上是借助語境來解題的一種方法。此法要求大家在答題前首先應弄清楚題干的意思,然后根據(jù)上下文之間的關系,捕捉暗示的信息,從而得出正確答案。
【例】It takes ________ to go to Japan by air than by ship.
A. little time B. less time C. more time D. much time
【解析】如果不看空格處后面的部分,四個選項均可填入,但通讀題干便可知該句句意為“坐飛機去日本比坐船花的時間要少”,即可確定答案。題目中的“by air than by ship”便是解答該題的暗示信息。答案為B。
4. 邏輯推理法
有些題目的選項,從語法上看似乎答案不止一個,有的甚至全部都可入選。但將某個答案套入選項,句意其實并不符合邏輯,此時同學們需要通過邏輯推理才能將錯誤選項排除。
【例】We are tired. Let’s stop ________ and have a rest.
A. to working B. work C. to work D. working
【解析】單純從語法角度考慮,C、D兩項都對。然而C項不符合邏輯,與后面的“have a rest”是矛盾的,所以正確答案為D。
5. 固定結構判斷法
有些題目考查固定搭配和習慣用法。同學們在做這類題目時,應注意擺脫漢語習慣的干擾。
【例】—You aren’t a student, are you?
—No, I ________.
A. am B. am not C. was D. wasn’t
【解析】由于時態(tài)和前面的反意疑問句不一致,所以C項和D項都不是正確答案。如果選A,則違反了英語習慣。按照英語習慣,回答反意疑問句時必須前后一致,即前面如果答no,那么后面必須跟否定形式。故B項為正確答案。
6. 句型轉換法
有些題目不太直觀,很難讓人立刻找出正確答案。這時大家可以將句子進行延伸或者做一下變換,使其“原形畢露”,答案馬上就能確定了。
【例】—Can I help you?
—Well, I’m afraid the box is ________ heavy for you, but thank you all the same.
A. so B. much C. very D. too
【解析】本題中的四個選項都是表示“很,十分”的副詞,在用法上十分接近。但如果同學們能夠將“for you”還原為“for you to carry”,再聯(lián)系上下文,就可以看出要用“too…to…”結構。故選D。
7. 聯(lián)想回憶法當面對四個選項無所適從時,大家可以展開聯(lián)想,回憶所學的課本、練習、閱讀材料或老師在課堂上講過的內(nèi)容,判斷它們是否與該題有著相似之處。同學們平時在學習過程中所形成的語感可在這里發(fā)揮較大的作用。
【例】A man ________ John Smith asked you to go there.
A. calling B. to call C. called D. calls
【解析】即使不從語法角度去考慮,單憑學過的類似句子,如“We live in a place called Gun Tree.”和“There are a man named Joseph and his wife named Mary.”等,就能確定C項為正確答案。這也是語感對解題所起的作用。
8. 推算法
有些選擇填空題會涉及簡單的數(shù)學知識,而所給的四個選項從語法上看都是對的,所以想選出這類題的正確答案就需要同學們進行一定的推算了。
【例】Tom is seventeen. Jack is three years older than Tom and two years younger than Todd.So Todd is ________.
A. eighteen B. nineteen C. twenty-two D. sixteen
【解析】湯姆十七歲,杰克比湯姆大三歲,所以杰克就應該是二十歲。而杰克又比托德小兩歲,所以托德便是二十二歲。故選C。
9. 常識法
有些選擇題會涉及政治、歷史、地理、天文、數(shù)理化及生活風俗等方面的常識,因而在做這類選擇題時,同學們要借助自己所掌握的相關常識才能選出正確答案。
【例】It was very ________ when I spent my Christmas holiday in Sydney.
A. cold B. hot C. cool D. warm
【解析】大家都知道,圣誕節(jié)是在12月25日。在中國,圣誕節(jié)所在的季節(jié)是一年中最寒冷的冬季。而悉尼是澳大利亞的一座城市,位于南半球,那里的氣候和中國的正好相反。故選B。
