命题的特点
高考英语强调语言功能的语境设计，即把语言的结构考查放在具体的语境中。充分体现语言的应用性交际性。“单项填空题的绝大部分都有明确的语境设置。几乎没有单靠记忆语法规则或词汇知识就能够做出正确选项的试题。
语境设计分析：
一 、注意时间空间因素
例1．( - 24)
-Hey, look where you are going!
-Oh, I’m terribly sorry. ___________.
A. I’m not noticing. B. I wasn’t noticing.
C. I haven’t noticed. D. I don’t notice.
注解：你提醒我（失误）时，我才意识到那时没注意到你。用过去进行时。答案：A。
例2.( - 20)
-How are you today?
-Oh, I ______ as ill as I do now for a very long time.
A. didn’t feel B. wasn’t feeling
C. don’t feel D. haven’t felt
注解：很长时间我都没有感到病得像现在这样厉害。用现在完成时。答案：D。
例3. (2000 –13)
-You’ve left the light on.
-Oh, so I have. _____ and turn it off.
A. I’ll go B. I’ve gone C. I go D. I’m going
注解：灯现在还亮着， 我马上就去关灯。用将来时。答案：A。
例4．( – 24)
Selecting a mobile phone for personal use is no easy task because technology ___ so rapidly.
A. is changing B. has changed C. will have changed D. will change
注解：挑选买一部移动电话真不易，以为科技发展正飞速发展。用现在进行时。答案：A。
例5． ( - 23)
-You haven’t said a word about my new coat, Brends. Do you like it?
-I’m sorry I _____ anything about it sooner. I certainly think it’s pretty on you.
A.wasn’t saying B. don’t say C. won’t say D. didn’t say
注解：关键词是sooner：“提早，抢先”的意思。我很抱歉刚才还没有来得及说。用过去时。答案：D。
二、注意联系对比因素
例1．(2000 - 11)
It’s always difficult being in a foreign country, ______ if you don’t speak the language.
A. extremely B. naturally C. basically D. especially
注解：“尤其” 是不会说外语，生活在国外是很难的。
例2．(2000 - 17)
Dorothy was always speak highly of her role in the play, _____, of course, made the others unhappy.
A. who B. which C. this D. what.
注解：依结构和意义， 此处要用非限定性定语从句。而of course 的插入可能成为干扰项。答案为：B。
例3. (2001 - 25)
The Parkers bought a new house but _____ will need a lot of work before they can move in.
A. they B. it C. one D. which
注解：要判明上下文的逻辑关系进行对比分析： 即a new house 指的是it;而不是The Parkers(they)；若没有but， 可选择which构成定语从句。答案为：B。
例4. (2001 - 33)
I was really anxious about you . You _____ home without a word.
A.mustn’t leave B. shouldn’t have left C. couldn’t have left D. needn’t leave
注解：我过去真的很为你担心，你那时本不应该一句话不说就离开家。答案为：B。（shouldn’t have done 表示“过去不该做”）
例5． (2002 - 25)
-Is John coming by train?
-He should, but he ______not. He likes driving his car.
A. must B. can C. need D. may
注解：在特定的情景中，使用情态动词；-是否坐火车来？-应该是，但他喜欢开车，也许就不坐火车了。因此答案为：D。
例6． (2002 - 35)
Meeting my uncle after these years was an unforgettable moment, _____I will always treasure.
A. that B. one C. it D. what
译文：“这么多年后见到叔叔是一个很难忘的时刻，我非常珍惜这一时刻。”
注解：在结构认知上，考生，若填which，可构成非限定定语从句。多用句点或and连接起来， 让that 或it做treasure的宾语。该题的正确选项为one，one作为an unforgettable moment 的同位语；I will always treasure则作定语从句修饰one；关系代词that省去。
三、交际口语因素
例1． (2000 - 6)
-What about having a drink?
- _______.
A. Good idea B. Help yourself C. Go ahead, please D. Me, too
注解：作为征求对方意见的口气：喝一杯好吗？回答应该是“好主意”。
例2． (2001 - 21)
-Good morning, Grand Hotel.
-Hello, I’d like to book a room for the nights of the18th and 19th.
- ___________________.
A.What an I do for you B. Just a minute , please
C.What’s the matter D. At your service
注解：对话情景是要向宾馆预定18,19两晚的房间；回答应该是请稍后，而不可能是其他情景下的答语。干扰项是D。At your service.意思是随时为您服务。
干扰因素的命题设计
一 、结构上的干扰
例1． (2002 - 24)
The mother didn’t know ____ to blame for the broken glass as it happened while she was out.
A. who B. when C. how D. what
注解： as it happened 给考生造成干扰。译文： 玻璃杯打碎时母亲不在家，所以她不知道谴责谁。主要看空缺词后面的 “to blame”，从句意中理解所指的是谴责的对象，而不是指时间、如何、内容。答案为：A。
例2． (2002 - 34)
The research is so designed that once ____ nothing can be done to change it.
A. begins B. having begun C. beginning D. begun
译文：这项研究就这样定下了，一旦开始就无法改变。
注解：从结构看，该句有从句、被动、省略，增加了理解的难度。实际上可以将once begun 视为一固定表达，该句展开就是：Once it has begun, nothing can be done to change it. Once begun 是“一旦开始”的意思。又如：
Once done, we won’t regret doing so.
Once elected, he will move forward swiftly to set a new club.
例3． （2000 - 22）
The manager discussed the plan that they would like to see _____ the next year.
A. carry out B. carrying out C. carried out D. to carry out
注解：过去分词在句中做see的宾语补足语，the plan 在句中是定语从句的先行词,在定语从句that they would like to see中做宾语。此句还原为：they would like to see the plan carried out 答案为：C。
二、意义理解上的干扰
例1．（2000 - 23）
-Why don’t we take a little break?
-Didn’t we just have______?
A. it B. that C. one D. this
注解：
理解语意：“我们为什么不休息一会儿？” “我们刚才不是休息过了吗？”
考查one 作为代词，代替 a little break。
例2. (2001 - 26)
We didn’t plan our art exhibition like that but it ______very well.
A.worked out B. tried out C. went on D. carried out
注解：work out 表示预期的结果。
I hope that the plan works out satisfactorily.
我希望那计划有令人满意的预期结果。
tried out :‘彻底实验’ ‘试出’；
went on: ‘继续’；
carried on:‘经营’、‘继续’ ;
work out 一般与plan 搭配。
要根据语篇中的不同情景，不断积累，进行词汇扩展， 熟记延伸常用解释；例如：
（1）Do you know how to work out the maths problem ? (算出)
（2）We have worked out a plan. (设计)
（3）That coal-miner will be worked out in two years. (开采完、耗尽)
三、思维定式上的干扰
例1. (2001 - 27)
The home improvements have taken what little there is ____ my spare time.
A. from B. in C. of D. at
译文：装修家室用去了我仅有的时间。
注解：定势干扰项：in my spare time
干扰结构是：what little / there is
去掉文中的 what , there is 的干扰，可看出原句there is a little of my spare time；
have taken 后的受词what引导的是宾语从句， what little 取代a little 。
what little 表示仅有的一点(时间)
例2. (2002 - 22)
Excuse me for breaking in, ____I have some news for you.
A. so B. and C. but D. yet
译文：对不起我闯进来是有你的消息告诉你。
注解：定势干扰项可能为and，受汉语“和”、“而”的意思干扰。此题所设情景：after apologizing for what you’re about to say (用在致歉语后），要用but。

语法题：就中学所学的语法知识进行考查，既可能对语法概念理解和运用上
的考查，也可能对语法结构形 式上进行考查。从近几年的高考试题来看，单一
考查语法的题越来越少，而是将语法考查放在一定的语境中考 查，而且在同一
题中考查两个或两个以上的语法项目，以突出考查学生实际运用语言的能力。因
此，我们一定 要掌握语法的一般规则、概念、构成形式，灵活运用，同时要注
意少数例外的情况，特别要注意上下文，瞻前 顾后。'96NMET试题中考查语法
的题有：6，7，8，11，12，13，14，16，17，19，20，22，23，25。内容涉及 到：
词性、时态、不定代词、反身代词、关系副词、比较级、冠词、主谓一致、虚拟
语气、名词性从句、分词 。再看以下试题和分析：
1)―Have all the students in your class seen the film?
―Only twenty of them have while______haven't.
A．other B．the other
C．others D．the others
2)The manager told us______had happened in the shop.
A．all B．all that
C．all what D．all which
3)Not even one of the hundred students who took the test ______passed.
A．has B．have
C．is D．are
4)The wheel is thought to be______invention of the firstimportance
in______human history.
A．an;the B．an;不填
C．the;the D．the;不填
5)―You missed a good chance.
―Yes.I______that job when it was offered.
A．should take B．should have taken
C．must take D．must have taken
1)（答案为D）代词问题。思路：因为while从句中的谓语动词是haven't ，
所以其主语必须用复数形式， the other（两者中的另一个）即可排除；other
是个形容词，更应排除；另外，从上下文看，除twenty以外的 “其他人”是特
指，the others=the other students，正合题意，others为泛指，不合题意。
2)（答案为B）定语从句问题。思路：从上半句看，The managertold us all
可以成立，但下半句缺少一个 主语，而all这个代词不能担此重任，所以须用
一个关系代词来引导一个定语从句；另外，如先行词为all，必 须用关系代词
that，而不能用which；再者，what=thething that，是个关联词，可单独用于
此句中，引导一个 宾语从句，即：The manager told us what had happened in
the shop.与all用法相似的还有anything，eve rything，nothing和something
等不定代词。
3)（答案为A）主谓一致问题。思路：尽管句子中有the hundredstudents
（百名学生），但句子的真正主 语（中心词）是not even one（甚至无一人），
因而谓语动词须用单数形式。另外，表示“学生通过考试”， 要用主动语态，
因而C和D均不合题意。对策：解答此类题时，一定要抓住真正的主语（中心词）。
4)（答案为B）冠词问题。说明：冠词与名词连用时，其中不定冠词a/an
表示泛指，指同类人或物中的任何 一个，与单数可数名词连用；而定冠词the
则表示特指，指作者或谈话者心目中已知的人或物，根据需要与任何 名词都可
连用。本句题意：轮子是人类历史上最重要的一项发明（发明之一），因而用不
定冠词an，另外，hi story泛指“历史”是个不可数名词，前面一般不加冠词。
5)（答案为B）情态动词问题。本题上文说：你错过了一个好机会。下文说：
是的。当他们提供那份工作时 ，我本该接受的.。说明：英语中表示“该做而没
有做某事”用should/ought to have done sth.；而表示“不 该做却做了某事”
用shouldn't/ oughtn't to have done sth.；should/ought to do sth.只能
表示现在或将 来。must do表示对现在的推测；must have done sth.表示说话
者对过去已发生事情的推断或猜测（用于肯定 句中）。
习语及惯用法搭配题：就中学所学的词或词组的习惯用法和搭配进行考查，
既可能对一些死的不能改变的 固定搭配和用法进行考查，也可能对一些较灵活
的搭配和用法进行考查，做题时，一定要注意特定的语境，如 '96NMET中的10，
15，18，24题，再看以下试题和分析：
1)―Can't you______here a Iittle Ionger?
―No.My parents expect______home early.
A.remain;my coming
B.remain;me to come
C.stay;my coming
D.stay;me to come
2)On
[1] [2] 下一页
my way home,I______at my brother's house.A.came in B.went in
C.got in D.dropped in
3)―Her schoolbag is______mine.
―That's why I cannot tell them apart most of the time.
A.same as B.the same as
C.as same as D.the same like
4)The doctor told me that she______
A.was still dangerous
B.was still a danger
C.was still in danger
D.was still in the danger
5)But David's biggest headache is______with his money.
A.to do B.what to do
C.how to do D.how he should do
1)（答案为D）辨析：首先必须弄清楚stay与remain在含义上的区别：两
者除都有“逗留”的意思外，sta y还独有“作客”之内涵。说明：expect sb.to
do sth.（期待某人做某事），是该动词的一个正确搭配。与此 类似的动词还有：
ask,tell,get,allow,permit,forbid,force,encourage,persuade,would
like,call on等。
2)（答案为D）说明：drop in是个英语习语，表示“顺便拜访”的意思。
注意其搭配为：drop in at a p lace;drop in on sb.。
3)（答案为B）说明：the same as是个固定搭配，不可随意更变。
4)（答案为C）本题句意为：医生告诉我她仍处危险中。思路：(be)in danger
（处于危险中）是个习惯用 语，正合题意。She isdangerous/ a danger.都表
示“她是个有威胁的危险人物”，这与题意相差甚远。
5)（答案为B）本题句意为：大卫感到最头疼的是如何处理那笔钱。说明：
表示“如何处理”有两种常用的 说法：What to do with...以及How to deal
with...。由此看来，学英语既要学死，也要学活，注意灵活运用 语言。
词语辨析题：就中学课本中一些常用词或词组的相似或相近、相同的词语进
行考查，做题时注意从以下四 个方面进行辨析：a.词义不同；b.用法、搭配有
别；c.感情色彩各异；d.文体特点（正式与非正式，口语与笔 语）。要特别注意
常用名词、代词、动词及词组、介词和连词的同义词区别，如'96NMET中的7，
10，22，25题 ，再看以下试题和分析：
1)Mr Johnson is______respected by all his students.
A.very B.much C.more D.rather
2)We think it necessary to prevent sound______as it isgetting more
and more serious.
A.position B.pollution
C.invention D.condition
3)You're so
上一页 [1] [2]

单项填空题在高考英语试题中一直出现,从未间断,其考查的内容也是丰富多彩的。要答好这类试题,除了要求考生要有扎实的基本功外,也需要一定的解题技巧。笔者对历年高考试题中的该类型试题作了仔细研究和认真分析,认为解答这类试题应该运用以下一些策略。
一、突破思维定势
在高三进行大量试题训练后,考生对一些类型的题目会产生思维定势。在高考中,当碰到似曾相识但实际已经发生变化的试题时,应实事求是地从试题的实际出发,排除思维定势,打破常规思维,认真分析,从而得出正确的答案。例如:
She can't help ________ the house because she's busy making a cake.
A. to clean B. cleaning C. cleaned D. being cleaned
can't help后接V-ing形式是平时训练经常碰到的,但在can't help+V-ing这一结构中,can't help表示的是“情不自禁”的意思。当can't help表示“不能帮助”时后面则要接不定式而不能接V-ing形式,故选项A正确。
二、揣摩特定语境
近年来,单项填空题加强在特定的语境中对语法和词汇的考查,因此,考生答题时必须读全试题信息,揣摩题意并利用特定的语境来选出正确答案。例如:
-Good morning. Grand Hotel.
-Hello. I'd like to book a room for the nights, of the 18th and 19th.
- ________.
A. What can I do for you? B. Just a minute please.
C. What's the matter? D. At your service.
该题属于情景对话题。A的意思是“你需要帮忙吗?”或“我能为您做点什么?”属服务员的客气话;C的意思是询问出了什么事;D的意思是“听您的吩咐”;B的意思则为“请稍等”。根据对话情境,答案B正确。
三、定位选择成分
有时正确地分析句子成分,特别是选项在句子中所担任的成分,对于判断答案正确与否是很有帮助的。例如:
Is this factory ________ you visited last Friday?
A. which B. where C. the one D. there
句子的主语为this factory, this是定语,要填空的是表语,所以C项是正确答案(the one后面省略了关系代词that)。
四、捕获内隐信息
一些重要的信息经常隐含在语境之中,这要求考生要有敏锐的观察能力和细致的分析问题的能力。因此,答题时必须注重捕获内隐信息。例如:
-Can you come on Monday or Tuesday?
-I'm afraid ________day is possible.
A. either B. neither
C. some D. any
此题中的“I'm afraid”就是隐含信息,它说明了答话人所持的是否定态度,也就是说星期一、星期二这两天都不行,所以B是正确答案。
五、明察相似句型
在单项填空题中,经常用相似的句型来迷惑考生,如果基础不扎实,不能明察秋毫,在做题时很容易出错误。例如:
________ is known to everybody, the moon travels round the earth once every month.
A. It B. As C. That D. What
该题考查由As引导的定语从句,它可以放在主句前或后。As表示主句的内容,而不是代表某个先行词,故而译成中文是“正如大家都知道的”。所以,此题答案是B。但由于It作为形式主语引导主语从句时其结构与As引导定语从句很相似,会有人上当选A的。但如果选A,句中没有逗号,而且,连接主语从句的that也不能省略。
六、注意转换句式
碰到一些特殊句式时,要沉着冷静,仔细分析,把难懂的句式尽可能转换成常见的、易看懂的句式,以便选出正确的答案。例如:
Rather than ________ on a crowded bus, he always prefers ________ a bicycle.
A. ride; ride B. riding; ride C. ride; to ride D. to ride; riding
此题是prefer to do...rather than do...句型,用倒装句增加了试题的干扰因素,若转换为陈述句,这样就容易得出C是正确答案。

在中考试题中,“单项填空”已成为一种必考题型,由于它考查的重点是学过的语法知识和运用知识的能力,所以有不少同学在做这种题时,顾此失彼,得分不高。那么,如何提高解答这种题型的能力呢?这里向同学们介绍几种方法。
一、读懂全句,首尾照应。
例:You'd better ________ your English book with you when you come tomorrow.
A. take B. to take
C. bring D. to bring
有的同学由于受习惯的影响,刚看完了题干的前半部分,就想到了had better do sth.这一句型,于是就匆忙地选了A做答案。如果你将句子读完,把全句译为汉语:“你明天来的时候,最好把英语书带来。”全句读懂了,根据句意你就会排除A,而选C为答案了。
二、注意习惯用语,看清句意。
例1:I enjoy ________ in China very much.
A. live B. living
C. to live D. to be living
例2:―Hello, may I speak to Li Mei? ―Yes, ________ .
A. my name is Li Mei
B. I'm Li Mei
C. this is Li Mei speaking
D. Li Mei's my name
依据习惯用法,enjoy, finish等动词后跟(动)名词作宾语,而不能跟不定式,因而例1的正确答案为B。
例2根据所给的情景,我们可以看出这是打电话的开头语。按照打电话的习惯用语,此题应补上自我介绍的答语。故答案应选C。
三、排除干扰,认真分析。
答题时一定要认真审题,排除干扰,不要只根据表面形式,而轻易地选取答案。要仔细分析整个句子所要表达的真正内容,对答案进行逐个筛选,直到找出正确答案。
例:She was going to arrive in Shenyang ________ Tuesday, but she didn't reach Jinzhou ________ Wednesday.
A. on, on B. in, before
C. in, after D. on, until
有些同学一看题目就立刻选A做答案,其实只要我们具体分析一下,就不难看出后半句是not...until句式,所以此题答案应选D。
对于“单项填空”题应从习惯用语、固定句式、句意、语境、语法等方面进行推理、排除、选择。
总之,以上三种方法只是抛砖引玉,同学们在平时学习中应注意掌握语言基础知识和培养综合运用语言知识的能力,把主要精力放在语法知识的重点项目和我们学习中的难点,即容易忽视和混淆的地方。同时,用适当的精选练习题进行强化、检测和总结,那么“单项填空”题就会化难为易了。
例析:
1. The weather in China is different ________that in New Zealand.
A. to B. with C. from D. for
从句意可知该句考察习惯用语be different from“和……不同”,其它三个介词和different搭配都不恰当,因此答案应选C。
2. It took us two years ________ the house.
A. build B. built C. building D. to build
该题考查对固定句式It takes sb. some time to do sth.的掌握程度,答案应选D。
3. There isn’t ________ in today’s newspaper.
A. anything new B. new anything
C. something new D. new something
该句为否定句,C、D不能用在该句中,应先排除;形容词修饰复合不定代词,定语要后置,所以B也应排除,余下的A是正确答案。
4. We’ll go to the Great Wall if it ________ tomorrow.
A. won’t rain B. isn’t going to rain C. don’t rain D. doesn’t rain
因主句是一般将来时,if引导的条件状语从句要用一般现在时,便可把A和B排除,又因从句主语it是第三人称单数,从主谓一致考虑C不成立,故只有D是正确答案。
5. It takes ________ to go to Mongolia by air than by train.
A. more time B. much time C. little time D. less time
通读全句,见到表示比较的连词“than”,便知句意“坐飞机比坐火车花时间少”,因此答案应选D。
练习题:选择正确答案填空。
1. Don’t do that, ________ ?
A. can’t you B. will you C. won’t you D. can you
2. Could you tell me ________ ?
A. where is she B. she is where C. is she where D. where she is
3. He pointed to the building and said that ________ in Hong Kong.
A. that house was the oldest B. those house was the oldest
C. these houses were the oldest D. these house was the oldest
4. You can go home when your homework ________ .
A. will do B. is done C. will be done D. is going to be done
