Unit 15 Study skills
1.They had a discussion and agreed _______ the date for the next meeting.
A. for B. on C. to D. with
解题策略 本题考查学生对agree的常见搭配的掌握情况。A项应首先排除,因为agree没有这种搭配方式。agree to表示“赞成……”的意思;agree with表示“同意某人的意见或所说的话”,因此C、D项亦应予排除,正确答案只能是B项。
错误辨析 本题的解题错误表明学生对agree的常见搭配方式所表示的含义混淆不清。注意:agree后面还可以接宾语从句.如:We are all agreed that the proposal is a good one.(我们都认为这个建议很好)。
2.Copy it down every time ______ you come to a beautiful sentence.
A. while B. as
C. after D. /
此题中的正确答案是 D(/),名词词组every time(每次、每回)可以用作从属连词,引出时间状语从句,time做“次”解时,后面空缺处可填that或什么也不填,不可填其他连词。如:
She demands sweets every time she sees us.她每次看见我们都要糖果吃。
Next time you come in, please close the door.下次进来时请关门。
It was the third time he had entered the room.这是她第三次进房间。
3. I knew the teacher was ______ to Jack when ______ of a bright boy.
A. pointing . . . speaking B. meaning . . . speaking
C. referring . . . spoken D. referring . . . speaking
此题考查两个语言点,一个是短语动词refer to,意为“指的是”、“指…而言”;另一个是when引起从句,当从句主语和主句主语相同时,可省略从句主语,用when + -ing形式,因此正确答案是D。选 A中point to意为“指向、让人注意”,显然不合题意;选项B中mean“意味着,打算”,是及物动词,不能接介词to;选项C中refer用对了,但when后用过去分词spoken不对,因为这里是主动行为(说),而非被动行为(被说)。如:
When leaving ( = When she left ) the house, she was heard to make some remark to her husband.她离开房间时,人们听到她对丈夫发表看法。
When I said some people are stupid I wasn’t referring to you.当我说某些人愚策时,我指的不是你。
4.This medicine ______ three times a day after meals.
A. is taking B. takes
C. is to take D. is to be taken
此题的正确答案是D(is to be taken),be+动词不定式的被动式结构,表示“某事应当、必须如何如何”的意思,常用在通知和说明书里。选项A、B用的是现在进行时或一般现在时主动语态,不正确,选项C用了 be + 动词不定式结构,但动词不定式用主动结构,不能表示某事应如何如何做,也不正确。如:
This form is to be filled in in ink.这表格应用钢笔填。
Similar conditions are to be found in other countries.类似的状况在别的国家可以发现。
5. —I think you look very nice in the red jacket.
—_________.
A. Oh, no, I don’t look nice at all
B. I don’t like red color but my morn made me wear it
C. I’m glad you think so
D. You are very kind
此题的正确答案是C(I’m glad you think so),要注意东西方人文化背景和心理区别,西方人称赞对方美丽或穿某种衣服好看,是文明、有教养行为,被称赞者应感到高兴、荣幸,既不要自谦,更不要感到不好意思或被冒犯。选项A、B显然是按照东方人心理写的汉语式英语。选项D仅指对方好心,如:表示感谢可说That’s very kind of you。如:
一You look nice in blue.你穿蓝色很好看。
一It’s nice of you to say so.谢谢你的称赞。
一一That’s a pretty blouse you are wearing.你穿的这件衬衫真好看。
一I’m glad you like it.你喜欢它我很高兴。
