單項(xiàng)選擇是一種容量大、考查面廣的題型。它可集中考查詞法、句法、語法知識(shí)。因此在各級(jí)各類考試中,單項(xiàng)選擇是必不可少的題型。
要做好單項(xiàng)選擇題,首先必須熟練掌握句型、固定搭配、習(xí)慣用法、語法等方面的基礎(chǔ)知識(shí)。還應(yīng)該了解一些解題技巧,提高解題的綜合能力。
解答單項(xiàng)選擇題,一般要經(jīng)過四個(gè)階段 :閱讀審題--觀察分析--選擇判斷--復(fù)查驗(yàn)證。
1. 閱讀審題 :首先要默讀試題中的英語句子,了解空格在句中所處的位置,句子缺少什么成份,初步確定一個(gè)答案的范圍。根據(jù)備選答案二者結(jié)合起來就會(huì)大致明白考查什么。例如 :
He goes to work by bus .
A. So do I B. I so do C. I do so D. So am I
默讀此題后,就不難知道,此題缺少的是一個(gè)跟前句有關(guān)的一個(gè)句子;再根據(jù)選項(xiàng)就會(huì)清楚此題是考查副詞"so"一詞的用法(前邊的情況也適于另一個(gè)人或物),只能選A。
2. 觀察分析 :這是一個(gè)快速而又嚴(yán)密的思維過程。要求將試題中所提供的條件和備選答案的情況結(jié)合起來去分析、推理、排除那些明顯不符合試題,甚至本身就有錯(cuò)的各選項(xiàng)目,再在剩余的備選中比較分析。例如 :
Wang Fang is young,but she plays ping-pong her mother.
A. as good as B. as well as
C. as better as D. as best as
根據(jù)觀察分析就會(huì)清楚,C、D兩項(xiàng)本身就不能成立,應(yīng)先排除,只能在A、B兩項(xiàng)中選。
3. 選擇判斷 :在分析句子和備選答案的基礎(chǔ)上,經(jīng)過反復(fù)驗(yàn)證,選出一個(gè)使句子語法正確、語意通順,附合邏輯道理的答案。
就上例所示,先排除了C、D,就在A、B兩者中選。因句中"play"為一個(gè)行為動(dòng)詞,需用一個(gè)副詞來修飾,故應(yīng)選擇B。
4. 復(fù)查驗(yàn)證 :將所選答案放在句中空格處再默讀全句。首先看是否順口,再在讀法、意思和邏輯關(guān)系上推敲一下,完全符合條件則可放心。
這就是做單項(xiàng)選擇題的總過程。其次,事實(shí)上大多數(shù)同學(xué)在許多情況下靠語感選擇答案,所謂語感就是平時(shí)知識(shí)的積累,是技巧的熟練,就是讀來順口、有把握。特別是情景反應(yīng)式選擇題運(yùn)用此法效果更佳。例如 :
1)-"Happy New Year!"
-" ".
A. Happy New Year, too B. Thank you very much
C. You‘re right D. The same to you
根據(jù)平時(shí)練習(xí)的情景對(duì)話,一讀就會(huì)感到D是正確的。
2)-"Mum,can I watch TV now?"
-No,you must finish your homework first.
A. doing B. do C. to do D. done
根據(jù)我們平時(shí)已學(xué)的"finish"一詞的語法知識(shí)"finish doing sth. "一讀就會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn),空白處只有填"doing"才是正確的,讀來順口,就會(huì)馬上確定A。
【經(jīng)典范例引路】
例1 of the twins passed the exam because they worked hard at their lessons.
A. Every B. Neither C. None D. Both
簡(jiǎn)析 :此題選D。B、C兩項(xiàng)是否定含義的詞,在句中邏輯上說不通。另外注意neither強(qiáng)調(diào)"兩者都不",none強(qiáng)調(diào)三者以上的"都不"。A項(xiàng)的 every只能作定語,不能作主語、表語或賓語。
例2 the window. What‘s happening there?
A. Look off B. Look over C. Look out of D. Look for
簡(jiǎn)析 :此題選C。此題考查帶look的短評(píng)動(dòng)詞的用法。根據(jù)第二個(gè)句子問外面發(fā)生了什么事,可推知第一句是讓"往窗外看",故用look out of。look over是指醫(yī)生"檢查"病人,look for是"尋找",A項(xiàng)短語不正確。
例3 bad weather we are having !We‘ve never had rainy days.
A. What a;such B. How;so C. What;such D. What;so
簡(jiǎn)析 :此題選C。第一個(gè)句子是感嘆句,中心詞是名詞 weather,故應(yīng)填 what,而非 how,又因 weather是不可數(shù)名詞,所以 what后面不能加a。第二個(gè)句子中的 days是名詞,故應(yīng)填such,而非so(so修飾形容詞或副詞)。
