這些題目都是關(guān)于生活常識(shí)的考查題,卻也是學(xué)生易出錯(cuò)的陷阱題。
1. When we see dark _______ in the sky, we know that rain may come soon.
A. stars B. planes C. clouds D. things
【解析】此題容易誤選A、B。如果不清楚這是一道常識(shí)題的話,一看到in the sky就會(huì)想當(dāng)然地錯(cuò)選為A或B這兩項(xiàng),因?yàn)檫@兩樣?xùn)|西經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)在天空中。由下文中的we know that rain may come soon可知“很快就要下雨了,那么一定是看天空中的’烏云’了”。因此正確答案為C。
2. I want to have a _______. I feel thirsty.
A. meeting B. talk C. swim D. drink
【解析】此題容易誤選A、B、C中的任何一項(xiàng)。所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)都能與have a構(gòu)成短語(yǔ),如果粗心大意,不注意下文中的I feel thirty. 就很容易犯想當(dāng)然的錯(cuò)誤。根據(jù)常識(shí)可知:感到口渴應(yīng)該是想“喝點(diǎn)什么東西”。正確答案為D。
3 .There are five circles with different colours on the flag of Olympic Games. They are green, blue, red _______ and _______.
A. yellow, black B. yellow, purple C. black, pink D. pink, grey
【解析】此題容易誤選B、C、D中的任何一項(xiàng)。如果不了解奧運(yùn)會(huì)會(huì)旗圖案的顏色是由紅、黃、藍(lán)、綠、黑的話,誤選為B、C、D的可能性就相當(dāng)大。正確答案為A。
4. When people are in danger, they would cry out _______!
A. Help! Help B. Save me! Save me
C. Come on! Come on D. Save life! Save life
【解析】此題易受漢語(yǔ)思維的影響而誤選為B或D,因?yàn)锽項(xiàng)譯成漢語(yǔ)時(shí)好是“救我”之意,D項(xiàng)譯成漢語(yǔ)正好是“救命”之意。其實(shí),這里應(yīng)該選A,在英語(yǔ)中表示求救時(shí)要說Help!,而不說Save me!或Save life!
