高三英語高考前的復(fù)習(xí)過程中,要對(duì)學(xué)生進(jìn)行單項(xiàng)選擇題的專項(xiàng)訓(xùn)練。做題過程中,對(duì)于一部分題,若從原有的知識(shí)經(jīng)驗(yàn)出發(fā),機(jī)械地套用老方法,按某種固定的思路去思考問題,即做題時(shí)產(chǎn)生了負(fù)效應(yīng)的定勢(shì)思維,必然會(huì)犯"經(jīng)驗(yàn)型"的錯(cuò)誤,從而誤選答案。
現(xiàn)行的高考命題者在設(shè)計(jì)選擇填空題時(shí),為了加大試題區(qū)分度,往往加入一些干擾成分,也為"經(jīng)驗(yàn)型"錯(cuò)誤提供了前提,使考生輕易誤入所設(shè)置的"陷阱"中。
下面筆者聯(lián)系高考題及復(fù)習(xí)過程中所遇到的一些典型題例,對(duì)"經(jīng)驗(yàn)型"錯(cuò)誤作些具體的分析。
1.Who did the teacher have ___ an article for the wall newspaper just now?
A. written B. writing C. write D. to write
析:此題易誤選A,受have的影響。其實(shí)此處所用句型為have sb.do sth不妨把who換為tom,利用還原句子結(jié)構(gòu)的方法變?yōu)榭隙ň洌篢he teacher had Tom write an article for the wall newspaper just now.因此,答案應(yīng)選C。
2.The wonderful time they had been looking forward ____ at last.
A. to arrive B. to arrived C. to arriving D. should arrive
析:此題迷惑選項(xiàng)為C,因受look forward to doing的影響,但此題主語為the wonderful time,后面they have been looking forward to 為定語從句,分析句子結(jié)構(gòu),找出句子的主干The wonderful time arrived at last.不難發(fā)現(xiàn)正確答案應(yīng)為B.
3.I'm examining the composition he has just finished ____ the possible mistakes in it.
A.correcting B.to correct C.corrected D.correct
析:易誤選A,因?yàn)榱?xí)慣思維finish 后接doing. 但從句he has just finished為定語從句。答案選B,動(dòng)詞不定式作目的狀語。
4.I agree with most of what you said, but I don't agree with ____.(NMET97)
A.everything B.anything C.something D.nothing
析:受否定句影響,迷惑選項(xiàng)為B.此題語境性極強(qiáng),第一句中"most of what you said"為關(guān)鍵點(diǎn),"你說的大部分我都同意,但并不是所有的我都同意"。因此,考查的是部分否定,答案為A。
再如:---The exam was easy , wasn't it ?
---Yes , but I don't think_____ could pass it
A. somebody B. anybody C. nobody D. everybody
不難選出答案為D
5.The doctor did what he could _____ the patient.
A. save B. saving C. to save D. to be saved
析:此題could后省略了do,因而是目的狀語,正確答案為C。而非情態(tài)動(dòng)詞could后跟動(dòng)詞原形,因此迷惑項(xiàng)為A。
6.The young man spent as much time as he _____ over his lessons.
A. went B. can go C. could going D. could to go
析:此題句型與上題差不多,除考查理解句子結(jié)構(gòu)的能力外,還考查了動(dòng)詞短語spend some time(in)doing sth的用法,所以答案為C。
7.The doctor asked the patient to lie down ____ and breathe deeply.
A. flat B. flatly C. to be flat D. to be flatly
析:此處修飾動(dòng)詞lie down,易誤選B。但副詞作狀語一般不表結(jié)果和狀態(tài),而形容詞作狀語則有此功能,如die young , get home safe, marry early , lie awake等。因而答案為A.
8.He was so angry at all _____ she was doing _____ he walked out.
A. what,that B.that,that C.that,which D.what,as
析:此題關(guān)鍵短語be angry at sth.因此all后的she was doing為定語從句,修飾all.第二個(gè)空考查so...that...答案為B
9. --- What do you think made Mary so upset ?
--- ____ her new bicycle. (97年上海高考題)
A. As she lost B. Lost C. Losing D. Because of losing.
析:此題迷惑項(xiàng)為D,這是犯了Chinglish之錯(cuò),問句中的 what只能用動(dòng)名詞短語Losing her new bicycle來代替。答案B為過去分詞不作主語,答案A不構(gòu)成主語從句。若將答語補(bǔ)充完整,全句為L(zhǎng)osing her new bicycle made Mary so upset.因此缺少主語,正確答案為C.
10.--- Mum, why do you always make me eat an egg every day ?
--- ____ enough protein and nutrition as you are growing up.(上海99年高考題)
A. Get B. Getting C. To get D. To be getting
析:此處回答why因而答案選C.作目的狀語。
11.Was it through Mary ____ was working at a high school , _____ you get to know Tom ?
A.who,who B.that,that C.who,that D.that,where
析:強(qiáng)調(diào)句型It be + 被強(qiáng)調(diào)部分 + that (who)…中,who(that)后不可能有逗號(hào),此句是限制性和非限制性定語從句的一般疑問句,答案為D。
12. ____ a broken chair , the room is empty
A. Except B. Except for C. Except that D. Besides
析:except所指項(xiàng)目,必須在主句內(nèi)有所交代,except for 用來表示從某一細(xì)節(jié)方面來修正前面概括性說法,其后的賓語一般與句子所涉及的東西不同類。因此a broken chair 與 the room 不是同類,答案為B。若改變一下題目_____ a broken chair , the room has no furniture . 此時(shí)chair 是 furniture 的一種,性質(zhì)相同,答案為A。
13. --- Don't forget to come to my birthday party tomorrow.
---______ . (NMET94)
A.I don't B.I won't C.I can't D.I haven't
析:完整回答為I won't forget to come to your birthday party tomorrow.答案為B. 選A是受上一句中Don't 影響。
14.Shirley _____ a book about China last year, but I don't know whether she has finished it.(NMET98)
A. has written B. wrote C. had written D. was writing
析:受last year的干擾而誤選B項(xiàng),但句意為"shirley去年(一段時(shí)間)在寫一本有關(guān)中國(guó)的書,但我不知她現(xiàn)在是否寫完",因此答案為D.
15.Mrs Brown was much disappointed to see the washing machine she had had ____ went wrong again.(上海98年高考題)
A. it B. it repaired C. repaired D. to be repaired
析:此題句型為have sth done, she had had repaired為定語從句,修飾the
washing machine, C為正確答案。迷惑選項(xiàng)為B項(xiàng)。
16. --- Who should I send this message to ?
--- The mayor is the one ___ ?
A. to send it B. to be sent C. for sending D. to send it to
析:第一句提供了語境"應(yīng)把消息送給誰?""應(yīng)送給市長(zhǎng)"。故A是錯(cuò)誤的,正確答案為D,即send the message to the mayor.被修飾的名詞為不定式的間接賓語時(shí),不定式后應(yīng)加上適當(dāng)?shù)慕樵~。
17.Few pleasures can equal ______ of a cool drink on a hot day.(NMET99)
A. some B. any C. that D. those
析:一看到few pleasures,容易錯(cuò)選D.但后面所設(shè)條件為a cool drink,因而正確答案應(yīng)為C.
18.--- Alice , you feed the bird today , ______?
--- But I fed it yesterday . (NMET99)
A. do you B. will you C. didn't D. don't you
析:此題易受you feed the bird today 中的you的影響,認(rèn)為不是祈使句。但祈使句并非都無主語,為了加強(qiáng)語氣,指明向誰提出請(qǐng)求或命令,引起聽話者的注意時(shí),可說出主語。所以正確答案是B而不是D.
29. --- When shall we meet again ?
--- Make it ____ day you like; it's all the same to me .(NMET96)
A. one B. any C. another D. some
析:...you like和...it's all the same to me 表明說話人不在意哪一天,因此some day是錯(cuò)誤的;another day需要前提:已談?wù)摰臅r(shí)間不合適,應(yīng)另選時(shí)間,但對(duì)話無此意。One day并不指"任意選擇的一天",而any day則有此意,故正確答案為B.
由上面的這些題例可以看出,做此類題時(shí),一定要在準(zhǔn)確理解句意的基礎(chǔ)上,從具體的語境入手,打破定勢(shì)思維,正確分析句子結(jié)構(gòu),靈活運(yùn)用所學(xué)知識(shí),充分理解整個(gè)句子的意義,找準(zhǔn)切入點(diǎn),選準(zhǔn)答案,從而避免犯"經(jīng)驗(yàn)型"錯(cuò)誤。
