典題欣賞

1．Mr Black gave his money to those whom he considered ．

A．was most worthy B．being worthy C．as being most worthy D．most worthy

【題解】選D。動詞consider意為“認為”“把……看作……”，可以和as連用，但后接名詞，也可以在賓語后用“to be＋形容詞／名詞”作賓語補足語，其中to be可以省去。根據whom可知所缺部分為賓補，故選D。

2．What he said suggested that we a serious mistake.

A．were making B．had made C．make D．should make

【題解】選B。這句中的suggested作“暗示”“說明”解，其后的that從句中要根據時間用正確的時態。make這一動作發生在suggested之前，屬過去的過去，故用過去完成時。

3．“Are you afraid of rats？”“____.”

A．Yes，but not a bit B．Not much

C． No，not a little D．No，not in the least

【題解】選D。not in the least意為“一點兒都不”，進一步地加強了否定的語氣，也可說not a bit，意思是一樣的。選項A回答矛盾，選項B應改成not very much，選項C也是回答矛盾，not a little是“非常”的意思，應改成not a bit。

4．Talking with him，you are sure to be able to a lot about what you don’t know.

A．know B．learn C．catch D．study

【題解】選B。根據句意，應用learn，表示“學會”“學到”。learn表示“學”的范圍較廣，可指知識，也可指技術或其他方面的情況。study由只強調學校中專業及學科知識的學習或研究，不用于技術或生活等方面的學習。know通常不與表示能力的詞連用，catch作“聽清”“聽明白”，不符合題意。5．Which house is it____you are interested in？

A．that B．where C．what D．which

【題解】選A。這是一個特殊問句的強調句型，特殊問句的強調句一般都只強調疑問詞，強調句中無論強調什么句子成分，一般只用that，不用where，what或which，故選A。

6．Is this museum_____you visited the other day？

A．that B．the one C．which D．／

【題解】選B。首先將該句變成陳述句，可以看出面，museum是主語，is是系動詞，空格部分應是表語，表語后有一個定語從句，表語the one等于the museum，定語從句的關系代詞that/which作visited的賓語，在此句中被省略掉了。故選B。如果在museum前有定冠詞，應選A、C或D，句子就變為：Is this the museum（that/which）you visited the other day？

7．He called to give mean urgent____that the date of the meeting was advanced from the 10th of August to the3rd of July．

A．news B. message C．information D．advice

【題解】選B。以上四個名詞中，message為可數名詞，其余三詞都是不可數名詞。不定冠詞an后接可數名詞，故選B。

8. The man was found_____on the ground．

A．lay dead B．1ying dead C．1ying died D．lie lying

【題解】選B。本句是find sb. doing sth.的被動結構be found doing sth.。find一般不用不帶to的動詞不定式作賓補，而帶doing作賓補表示賓語的主動動作。此處lie意為“躺”，為不及物動詞，而lay意為“放”，作及物動詞，后需帶賓語，或用過去分詞laid。由此可見只有B項為正確答案。

9．The watch I went wrong again.

A．repaired B．had had repaired C．had it repaired D．have repaired

【題解】選B。根據went判斷空格上的動作發生在went之前需用過去完成時。had had的賓語是省略掉的關系代詞that或which repaired作that或which的賓補，與賓語存在動賓關系，屬 have sth. done結構，故選B。

10. I____to buy this dictionary，but they sold out all the copies of it．

A．meant B．have wanted C．was hoping D．am intending

【題解】選A。根據后句中的，old可知是過去打算買，但沒能買到。B、C和D項都應變為過去式才正確，hope一般不用進行時態。

語法指南

▲直接賓語和間接賓語

有些及物動詞如give，send，ask，teach，show，tell，buy等，可以帶兩個賓語，指人的稱為間接賓語，指物的稱為直接賓語，間接賓語說明動作是對誰做的或表示動作是為誰做的，直接賓語表示動作的承受者或結果。如：

I’ll return the dictionary to you tomorrow。明天我把詞典還你。

Fetch a few chairs for us，win you？給我們搬幾把椅子來，行嗎？

作賓語的名詞與謂語動詞是同根詞，稱為同源賓語。如：

Many animals use some kinds of language．They use signals which 1 meaning．For example, 2 a bee has found some food，it goes 3 to its home．It is impossible for to 4 the other bees where the food is 5 speaking to them，but it can do a little dancing．This tells the bees 6 the food is and 7 far away it is．

Some animals 8 how they feel by making sound．It is not 9 to tell if a dog is angry because it barks．Birds make several different sounds and each has its own meaning．Sometimes we humans make sounds in the same 10 ．We make sounds like“Oh！”or “Ouch！”to show how we feel about something or when we 11 something on our toes．

But we have 12 that no animal has：a large 13 of words which have the meaning of things，feelings or ideas．We are able to give 14 information，to tell other people what is in our mind，or how we fell．By writing down words we can remember 15 has happened or send messages to people far away．It is 16 for animals to do this．Some birds，like parrot，can be 17 to say words，but they do not know what they mean．They cannot use the words．

No one knows how humans learned to 18 words．Perhaps they began by imitating animals．Perhaps they imitated sounds they heard all around them．In some way they learned to make words．As the centuries 19 ，they made more and more words．This is what we 20 by language．
