典型高考英語陷阱題詳解•代詞類
1. _____ with any common sense can tell the difference between the two.
A. Who B. Whoever
C. Anyone D. Who ever
【陷阱】容易誤選B。
【分析】最佳答案為C。有的同學(xué)誤選B主要是因?yàn)槭芤韵逻@類句子的影響:
Whoever comes will be welcome. 任何人來都?xì)g迎。
Whoever wants the book may have it. 任何人要這書都可拿去。
Whoever gets the job will have a lot of work. 誰要是得到這份工作就有很多事要做。
以上三句中 whoever 引導(dǎo)的均為主語從句,其中的 whoever均可換成 anyone who,但是不能換成 anyone。以上試題從表面上看,與以上各例很相似,其實(shí)它們有本質(zhì)的不同,即 _____ with any common sense 中沒有謂語動(dòng)詞,所以我們不能選 whoever。此題的正確答案為C,anyone 為句子主語,with any common sense 為修飾 anyone 的定語?,F(xiàn)將此題稍作改動(dòng)如下,答案選B:
_______ has any common sense can tell the difference between the two.
A. Who B. Whoever
C. Anyone D. Who ever
2. The dictionary is really useful. Every boy and girl _____ it and they each _____ to buy one.
A. like, want B. likes, wants
C. likes, want D. like, wants
【陷阱】容易誤選D。認(rèn)為前面一空填復(fù)數(shù)動(dòng)詞,因?yàn)槠渲髡Z是 boy and girl,為復(fù)數(shù);第二空填單數(shù)動(dòng)詞,因?yàn)槠淝坝?each,表示"每一個(gè)"。
【分析】事實(shí)上,此題應(yīng)選C。因?yàn)榘从⒄Z習(xí)慣,every 后接兩個(gè)并列的單數(shù)名詞作主語時(shí),謂語動(dòng)詞要用單數(shù),即第一空填 likes;而第二空要填復(fù)數(shù)動(dòng)詞 want,是因?yàn)槠淝暗闹髡Z是 they 而不是 each(each 為主語的同位語)。
3. Everyone knows that Canada is larger than _____ country in Asia.
A. any B. any other
C. other D. another
【陷阱】容易誤選B。選擇的依據(jù)是以下大家熟悉的句型(其中的 other 不可省略):
He is taller than any other student in our class. 他是我們班最高的。
English is more widely used in international intercourse than any other language today. 現(xiàn)今英語在國際交往中比其他任何語言用得都廣。
【分析】但是上面一題與這類句子有所不同。這類句型到底該不該加 other,主要應(yīng)看所談?wù)摰膶?duì)象是否在比較的范圍之內(nèi):若在范圍之內(nèi),則用 other (以排除自己與自己比較);若不在范圍之內(nèi),則不用 other。比較下面一題:
China is larger than _____ country in Asia.
A. any B. any other C. other D. another
此題應(yīng)選B,因?yàn)?China 在 Asia 的范圍之內(nèi)。假若選A,則表示"中國比亞洲的任何國家都大",而中國本身也是亞洲國家,由此則得出"中國比中國大"的荒謬結(jié)論。而選B,則表示"中國比亞洲任何其他國家要大",這才合乎事實(shí)。
4. "What do you think of them?" "I don't know _____ is better, so I've taken _____ of them."
A. what, both B. what, none
C. which, both D. which, none
【陷阱】幾個(gè)干擾均有可能誤選。
【分析】最佳答案為C。做好此題的關(guān)鍵是要注意句中的 better 一詞,由于better 用的是比較級(jí),說明比較的對(duì)象應(yīng)是兩者,由此可推知第二空應(yīng)填both;另一方面,由于所談?wù)摰氖莾烧撸f明選擇范圍比較窄、比較明確,所以第一空應(yīng)填 which。
5. "Would you like a cup of coffee or a glass of beer?" "____ will do, but milk is _____ popular with me."
A. Neither, not B. Both, more
C. Either, the most D. All, the most
【陷阱】很容易誤選B,因?yàn)榍拔奶岬?coffee 和 beer 為兩者,所以有的同學(xué)就認(rèn)為應(yīng)選 both 和 more 與之對(duì)應(yīng)(more 為比較級(jí),指兩者比較)。
【分析】做對(duì)此題的關(guān)鍵是要注意到下文提到的 milk既不是 coffee 也不是 beer,而是除這兩者外的第三者,故第二空應(yīng)填 the most,即此題最佳答案為C。
6. I read about it in some book or other, does it matter _____ it was?
A. where B. what
C. how D. which
此題答案選D,主要與上文的some book or other (某一本書)這一語境有關(guān),全句句意為:"我在某一本書上讀到過它,是哪一本書這很重要嗎?"請(qǐng)看類似試題:
(1) "Who told you?" "Oh, somebody or other, I've forgotten _____."
A. what B. when
C. which D. who
此題最佳答案為D。句意為:"誰告訴你的?""噢,有個(gè)人,我忘記是哪一個(gè)了。"
(2) Some of the students were late for the meeting, but I can't remember _____.
A. what B. when
C. which D. whom
此題最佳答案為C。句意為"有些學(xué)生開會(huì)遲到了,但我不記得是哪些學(xué)生了"。
7. These trousers are dirty and wet - I'll change into my _____.
A. another B. trousers
C. others D. other
【陷阱】容易誤選A、B。
【分析】最佳答案為C。是從語法上看,another 后通常接單數(shù)名詞,而不接trousers 這樣的復(fù)數(shù)名詞(若用 another pair 則可以);也不能選 trousers 是因?yàn)樘钏渥右馑疾煌āW罴汛鸢笐?yīng)選C,others 相當(dāng)于 other trousers,其中的 other 與前面的 these 相對(duì)照。
8. Her lecture was hard to follow because she kept jumping from one subject to _____.
A. other B. the other
C. the others D. another
【陷阱】容易誤選B。選擇依據(jù)可能是one ... the other ...這一常用結(jié)構(gòu)。
【分析】最佳答案為D。使用one ... the other ... 時(shí),我們通常是針對(duì)兩者而言的,即指"兩者中的一個(gè)......,另一個(gè)......";如果所談?wù)摰那闆r不是針對(duì)兩者而言的,而是針對(duì)多者而言的,那么我們就不宜在 one 后使用 the other,而考慮用 another。又如(答案均選D,即選 another):
(1) Those cakes look delicious. Could I have _____ one?
A. other B. the other
C. the others D. another
(2) I have many such novels. I'll bring _____ tomorrow.
A. other B. the other
C. the others D. another
(3) Saying is one thing and doing is _____.
A. other B. the other
C. the others D. another
比較以下各例:
(1) Shut ____ eye, Jim.
A. another B. some other
C. other D. the other
答案選D,因?yàn)槿说难劬χ挥袃芍唬视?one ... the other ... 結(jié)構(gòu)。
(2) It's sometimes hard to tell one twin from _____.
A. another B. some other
C. other D. the other
答案選D,twin 意為"孿生子之一"、"雙胞胎之一",即指兩者之一,故用 one ... the other ... 這一結(jié)構(gòu)。
9. There are four bedrooms, ______ with its own bathroom.
A. all B. each
C. every D. either
此題容易誤選A,認(rèn)為既然前面出現(xiàn)了 four bedrooms,故填 all 與之對(duì)應(yīng)。其實(shí),此題的最佳答案應(yīng)為B,原因是空格后的隱藏信息 its,它表示空格處應(yīng)填一個(gè)單數(shù)代詞,但是不能選C,因?yàn)?every 不能這樣單獨(dú)使用。
10. "It's said that he is a wise leader." "Oh, no, he is _____ but a wise leader."
A. anything B. anyone
C. anybody D. anywhere
【陷阱】容易誤選B、C。因?yàn)榫渥又髡Z指人,似乎只有B、C才與之一致。
【分析】其實(shí),正確答案應(yīng)選A。因?yàn)?anything but 是習(xí)語,意為"根本不是"或"一點(diǎn)也不",不僅可用于事物,也可用于人。如:
I'll do anything but that. 我絕不會(huì)干那種事。
The party was anything but a success. 晚會(huì)根本不成功。
Her father was anything but a poet. 她父親根本不是詩人。
Such a man was anything but a hero. 那樣的人絕不算英雄。
11. Tell _______ you like - it makes no difference to me.
A. anyone B. who
C. whoever D. what
【陷阱】容易從中文字面來理解而誤選A或B。
【分析】最佳答案選 C。但若將A, B兩項(xiàng)合起來,即用 anyone who這樣的形式則也可以。選 C,whoever 引導(dǎo)一個(gè)賓語從句,用作動(dòng)詞 tell的賓語。同樣地,請(qǐng)看以下類似試題:
(1) _____ comes is welcome.
A. Anyone B. Who
C. Anyone who D. Everyone
此題很容易誤選A,因?yàn)閺臐h語意思來分析,可理解為"任何人來都?xì)g迎",但若選A,此句的結(jié)構(gòu)是混亂的,句中有兩個(gè)謂語動(dòng)詞 comes 和 is,但卻只是一個(gè)句子。此題應(yīng)選C,anyone 是句子主語,who comes 是修飾 anyone 的定語從句。
(2) _____ comes to see me, tell him I'm out.
A. Anyone B. Who
C. Whoever D. Everyone
此題很容易按漢語意思誤選A,其實(shí)應(yīng)選C。whoever 引導(dǎo)的是讓步狀語從句,相當(dāng)于 no matter who。
(3) Sarah hopes to become a friend of _____ shares her interests.
A. anyone B. whomever
C. whoever D. no matter who
此題不能選A,假若選A,應(yīng)在其后加上 who,即用 anyone who;也不能選B,一是因?yàn)榭崭裉帒?yīng)填一個(gè)作主語的詞(因?yàn)槠浜笥兄^語動(dòng)詞 shares),二是因?yàn)樵诂F(xiàn)代英語中 whomever 這個(gè)詞已基本廢除 (也就是說,在現(xiàn)代英語中 whoever 既用作主語,也用作賓語,如:Give it to whoever you see in the meeting-room. 你在會(huì)議室里看見誰就把它給誰);也不能選D,因?yàn)?no matter who只用于引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句,不用于引導(dǎo)名詞性從句。此題正確答案為C,whoever 在此相當(dāng)于 anyone who。
比較下例,答案應(yīng)選A,而不是B、C或D(注意句意):
It was a matter of _____ would take the position.
A. who B. whoever
C. whom D. whomever
12. The teacher told us that the problem was not _____ easy and that we should think _____ over carefully.
A. such, it B. that, it
C. such, 不填 D. that,不填
【陷阱】容易根據(jù)漢語字面意思誤選C。
【分析】最佳答案選 B。第一空填that,that 用作副詞,相當(dāng)于 so,又如:
Is it always that hot? 總那么熱嗎?(其中的 that hot 可以換成 so hot,但不能換成 such hot)
I can only tell you that much. 我只能告訴你這么多。(其中的 that much 可以換成 so much,但不能換成 such much)
注意第一空不能填such,因?yàn)閟uch 不用作副詞,即它不用于修飾形容詞。
另外,漢語中說"好好想一想",通??梢圆粠зe語,但英語中的think over 是及物動(dòng)詞,如果用它來表示"好好想一想",應(yīng)根據(jù)上下文的語境讓它帶上適當(dāng)?shù)馁e語,所以本題應(yīng)用 think it over,相當(dāng)于 think the problem over。
13. The camera isn't good enough; I want to change ______.
A. another B. a good one
C. it with another D. it for another
【陷阱】容易根據(jù)漢語字面意思誤選A、B。
【分析】此題最佳答案為D。英語中的 change sth 表示的是"換某物",sth 是被換的東西,而 change sth for sth else 表示的才是"用某物換另一物"。比較:
That coat was too large and I had to change it. 那件外套太大了,我得去換一件。
That coat was too large and I had to change it for a smaller one. 那件外套太大了,我得去換一件小一點(diǎn)的。
14. I agree with most of what you said, but I don't agree with ______.
A. everything B. anything
C. something D. nothing
【陷阱】此題容易誤選 B,生搬硬套不定代詞用法規(guī)則:something 用于肯定句,anything 用于否定句或疑問句。
【分析】其實(shí)此題應(yīng)選 A,注意前文的 I agree with most of what you said(我同意你說的大部分內(nèi)容),其后的not 與 everything 構(gòu)成部分否定,意為"不是所有的都同意",前后兩部分用轉(zhuǎn)折連詞 but 連接,語氣通順、連貫。請(qǐng)看一個(gè)類似的例子:
______ likes money, but money is not ______.
A. Everyone, everything B. Anyone, anything
C. Someone, nothing D. Nobody, everything
最佳答案選A,句意為"大家都喜歡錢,但錢不是萬能的"。
15. "Is there ______ here?" "No, Bob and Tim have asked for leave."
A. anybody B. everybody
C. somebody D. nobody
【陷阱】此題容易誤選 A。認(rèn)為這是一般疑問句,要用 anybody。
【分析】其實(shí)此題應(yīng)選B,主要與上下文的語境有關(guān)。全文語境為:"大家都到齊了嗎?""沒有,Bob 和Tim 兩人請(qǐng)假了。"假若我們將此題作如下變換,則情形就會(huì)有所不同:
"Is there ______ here?" "Yes, I'm upstairs. Please come and help me."
A. anybody B. everybody
C. somebody D. nobody
此題的最佳答案應(yīng)是A,而不是B。
請(qǐng)?jiān)倏匆焕?br>
"Do you have _____ at home now, Mary?" "No, we still have to get some fruit and tea."
A. something B. anything
C. everything D. nothing
答案選C,句意為"瑪麗,現(xiàn)在家里東西都準(zhǔn)備齊了嗎?""還沒有,我們還要買些水果和茶。"
16. "If you want a necklace, I'll buy one for you at once." "Oh, no. A necklace is not _____ that I need most."
A. anything B. something
C. nothing D. everything
【陷阱】此題容易誤選A,機(jī)械地套用以下規(guī)則:something 用于肯定句,anything 用于否定句或疑問句。
【分析】當(dāng)然以上規(guī)則在通常情況下是有效的,但此句不屬通常用法。此題的最佳答案應(yīng)是B,something 在此的意思不是"某種東西",而是指"那種東西"或"這種東西",即心中最想要的那種東西(相當(dāng)于 the thing)。同樣地,下面幾題的最佳答案也是 something,而不是 anything:
(1) It's not _____ that we want to talk about; let's change the subject.
A. anything B. something
C. nothing D. everything
(2) It's not _____ I enjoy; I do it purely out of a sense of duty.
A. anything B. something
C. nothing D. everything
(3) Self-control is not _____ that comes with your birth.
A. anything B. something
C. nothing D. everything
(4) This is not _____ that would disturb me anyway.
A. anything B. something
C. nothing D. everything
17. Some say one thing, but _____.
A. other, another B. others, another
C. others, the other D. the others, others
【陷阱】幾個(gè)干擾項(xiàng)均有可能誤選。
【分析】最佳答案選B。but others another 為 but others say another 之省略。在并列句中,若后面分句與前面分句有相同的詞,常把后一分句中的相同部分給省略掉,以避免重復(fù)。如:
One soldier was killed and another wounded. 有一名士兵被打死,另一名被打傷。(wounded 前省略了 was)
I work in a factory and my brother on a farm. 我在工廠工作,我弟弟在農(nóng)場(chǎng)工作。(on a farm 前省略了 works)
My room is on the second floor and his on the third. 我的房間在三樓,他的房間在四樓。(on the third 前省略了 is)
18. He is a hard-working student, _____ who will be successful in whatever career he chooses.
A. that B. he
C. one D. which
【陷阱】幾個(gè)干擾項(xiàng)均有可能誤選。
【分析】此題答案選C,one 相當(dāng)于 a student。類似地,以下各題也選one,它們分別相當(dāng)于 a table, a break, a question, a Mexican carpet, a moment:
(1) A table made of steel costs more than _______ made of wood.
A. one B. it
C. those D. which
(2)"Why don't we take a little break?" "Didn't we just have _____?"
A. it B. that
C. one D. this
(3) The question is _____ of great importance.
A. that B. it
C. one D. what
(4) She wants a Mexican carpet, but she can't afford to buy ______.
A. one B. it
C. them D. the one
(5) Meeting my uncle after all these years was an unforgettable moment, _____ I will always treasure.
A. that B. one
