11. A favor“好意”,deed“行为、事实”,help“帮助”,value“价值”。但从字面意义看,会误选C。do sb a favor,给某人帮助,给某人施以恩惠,固定搭配,但是本题的难度在于不是直接呈现do sb a favor这个词组,而是把do sb放在了定语从句里来修饰favor,引导词就是that(省略),在定语从句中替代favor。故选A。
样题1 “They not only make it difficult to sleep at night, but they are 1 damage to our houses and shops of historical interests,” said John Norris,one of the protesters.
1. A. doing B. raising C. putting D. producing
【错因分析】 受汉语思维影响认为意思是产生影响而选了producing.
【正确思路】 D 这句话的意思是说:那些重型卡车不但使人们夜晚难以入睡,而且还对我们的具有历史意义的房屋和商店造成破坏。“对……造成破坏”在英语中有一固定搭配 do damage to…。 样题2 The mother replied, “when my son was a baby, he was in a room that caught fire. Everyone was 2 afraid to go in because the fire was 3 so I went in …”
2. A. so B. much C. quite D. too
3. A. out of control B. under control C. in control D. over control
【正确思路】B C第一空是固定搭配on the phone,第二空意为我不知道笑还是哭,但我还是同意了,所以选but。
样题4 Until 1954 it was thought that no man could run one mile in less than four minutes. As years 6 , the record came closer and closer to four minutes and Roger Bannister, a young English 7 (athlete), began to believe he might 8 this almost magic barrier.
6.A.passed along B. passed down C. went by D. went over
【正确思路】 C D 第一空意为随着时间的流逝,这里用went by这个固定搭配。第二空只有break和barrier搭配才能表达打破这个记录的意思。
误点2 逻辑搭配错误
样题5 One evening in early April, my mother told me to fill in at the snack bar for a worker who had the flu. I told her I would mess it up, 9 I had never worked at the bar before. I 10 that instead of making money, I would end up owing it.
“You can do it,” said my mother, “ 11 , you won’t get much business until lunch.”
9. A. because B. though C. until D. while
10. A. promised B. noticed C. worried D. hoped
11. A. Therefore B. However C. Besides D. Yet
【错因分析】 考生会因为搞不清前后逻辑关系而误选。
【正确思路】 A C C 第一空,前一句是我会搞得一团糟,后一句是我以前从来没有在酒吧工作过。从逻辑上看,很明显是因果关系,所以选because.第二空,因为前面的原因,所以我担心会亏本,而不会赚钱,所以选worried.第三空,妈妈的意思是你能做,况且要到中午才有生意。后面是对前一句的补充说明所以应该选besides。其它几个词都是表转折或者是因果关系。
样题6 It was taking up a great deal of my time, and the headmaster of my school gave me a choice, stay in school 12 leave to work on my magazine.
12. A. besides B. but C. and D. or
【错因分析】 考生会因不能正确理解两个动作stay和leave的关系而误选and。
【正确思路】 D 因为 (办报纸) 占据了我大量的时间,所以校长就给我两条出路让我选择,要么呆在学校,要么离开学校去办我的报纸。前后是选择关系所以应该选or。
样题7 My body had long since used up all its energy 13 it went on running just the same. This was the critical moment when my legs were strong enough to carry me over the last few yards ...
样题8 National Car Rental wanted to have 2,500 square meters of dirt paved 14 the cars could be on site 15 the airport opened, and the official opening was only ten days away!
【正确思路】 D D首先正确理解句意,这句话的意思是National Car Rental公司想铺设2500平方米的地面,所以当机场开放的时候,这些车能够到位。所以第一空应该填so,表前后为因果关系,第二空填when,是一个时间状语,表明前面动作发生的时间,因为是一非延续性动词,所以不能用while。
