Unit 14 Mainly revision

典型例题

　　例1—Come in, Peter. I want to show you something.

　　—Oh, how nice of you! I ______ you ______ to bring me a gift.

　　A. never think; are going　　B. never thought; were going

　　C. didn't think; were going　D. hadn’t I thought; were going

　　解析：由于收到礼物纯属意料之外，在过去没有想到，而现在应该知道了，所以第一空要用一般过去时，never thought表示纯属意料之外。而didn’t think 表示想到“你不会”。根据宾语从句与主句的谓语动词之间的对应关系后一空要用过去将来时。本题正确答案为B。

　　例2—Alice, why didn’t you come yesterday?

　　　—I _______, but I had an unexpected visitor.

　　A. had　　B. would　　C. was going to　　D. did

　　解析：这是一道对话题，首先根据问句得知Alice昨天（即过去）没有来。而答句为省略句，若填A则为had come（昨天以前来过，但昨天没来），与but解释的原因不符。而D项为came（昨天来了）与问句子didn’t come不符。故要用过去将来时。would come与was going to come虽均可以表示过去将来时，但was going to还可以表示过去打算干什么。

　　例3 I ______ walk to school, but now I go by bike.

　　A. used to　　B. is used to　　C. use to 　　D. was used to

　　解析：根据句中but now（但是现在）以及walk to school 与 go by bike的对比关系可以看出，“现在”“骑车上学”而“过去”“走路上学”而得知，前句表示过去习惯，而现在不做了。这一用法符合used to。而B项则表示“被用来做某事”。C项中used to只有过去时而没有现在时，故为错误选项。本题答案为A。

　　例4 Readers can _______ quite well without knowing the exact meaning of each word.

　　A. get over　　B. get in　　C. get along　　D. get through

　　解析：get over克服困难；get in进入，到达，插话，get along进展，相处；get through完成。本句话的意思是“尽管读者不知道每个单词的精确意思，但他们能很好地理解本书的意思”。所以get along符合此意。本题答案为C。

　　例5 The clouds are gathering, which suggests that it _______ rain, so Mother suggests we _____ out.

　　A. is going to; went　　B. should; not to go

　　C. is going to; not go　　D. should; not going

　　解析：suggest后可接名词、动词-ing或that引导的宾语从句，如suggest为“建议”之意，则其后的宾语从句须用should+动词原形，should可以省略，故C、D项为可选答案。但第一个suggest的主语为which（指代乌云密布一事）故无法作出“建议”而不能用should后接动词原形；又因第二空前为we所以suggest后接宾语从句that被省略。本题答案为C。

　　例6. There are a lot of ______ in Beijing.

　　A .place of interest　　B .place of interests

　　C. places of interest　　D. places of interests

　　解析：表示place of interest的复数形式时，不能在interest后加s, interest在此为抽象名词；只能在place后加s。正确答案是C。

　　例7. He used to _______ in the river when he was a boy.

　　A .swimming　　B. swim 　　C .swam 　　D. swims

　　解析：used to表示过去习惯性的动作，意为“过去常常”，后接动词原形。be used to后才能接动词-ing形式或名词。正确答案是B。

　　例8. People ______ think that the earth was flat.

　　A. would　　B. will　　 C. used to 　　D. usually

　　解析：would 和used to都可用来表示过去反复反生的动作。但表示过去存在的状态时，常用used to而不用would。正确答案是C。

　　例9. It's hard ______ you to make him ______ change his mind.

　　A. of, to　　B. for, to 　　C. for, / 　　D. of, /

　　解析：make 作“使、叫、让”解时，用不定式作宾语补足语，且to必须省略，即make sb. do sth.另外，根据句意，you应该是不定式to make的逻辑主语，故适应于句型It is + adj. + for sb. to do sth. 如果句中的表语形容词是说明逻辑主语的则用句型It is + adj. + of sb. + to do sth. 正确答案是C。

　　例10. Most of the visitors who _______ to the party were young people.

　　A. were invited 　　B. asked　　C. are invited 　　D. ask

　　解析：表示邀请某人（参加活动）“用invite sb. to (dinner / a party / a meeting)”，其被动语态用be invited to some place. 如果当面邀请，则用Will you come to…?。正确答案是A。
