高考英语试题中有15道单项选择题是易得分点也是易失分点,因为它是对词汇,语法,句型,情景交际等知识的全面考察,考生不妨从句子结构和意群理解入手,具体做法如下。
一、使用全语境切入法
把握具体语境,挖掘隐含的信息、关键词.如:
His tie______his shirt ;they look very well together.
A. suit B.fit C.compare D.match
此处是指领带和衬衫相配,所以应选D.
二、采用多结构分析法
1.还原。将不熟悉的疑问句、被动句、倒装句、强调句等还原成熟悉的陈述句结构。如:
—Time should be made use of______ well.
A.study B.studied C.studying D.to study
可以还原成we should make use of time to study well.故选D,不定式做目的状语。
2.化简。将从句、插入语、独立成份等修饰部分去掉来化简句子,使句子结构一目了然,从而轻松选出正确答案。请看下题:
—He is confident ______,I think,is of importance.
A.that B.which C.what D.as
此题可将插入语I think 去掉,结构就很明显了:答案为B,which 引导非限制性定语从句。
3.补全。与化简相反,补全是把句子省略的成份补充完整。如:
—What made you so excited?
A. Because of my passing the exam.
B. I passed the exam.
C. Because I passed the exam.
D. My passing the exam.
乍一看,四个选项似乎都正确。但把答句补全后,应是:“The exam made me so excited”,故选D,动名词短语充当句子主语。B项如果添上一个that来引导主语从句才正确。
再看一个很经典的题目:
______did you get to know her?
—It was on the farm ______ we worked together.
A.that B.where C.which D.what
很多学生会选A,认为这就是强调句型中的that .实际上,B才是正确答案,where 是关系副词,where we worked together 是定语从句,修饰farm。
解题思路:补全句子:It was on the farm ______ we worked together that I got to know her.
三、运用抗思维定势法
学生容易受语法规则。固定短语.特定句型影响,没弄清题目意思,做出错误选择。如:
The day we were looking forward to .
A.come B.came . C.coming D.comes
我们很容易根据look forward to 中的to为介词,而误选答案C。实际上,句中缺的是谓语,we were looing forward to是个定语从句,而lookforward to 的宾语是关系代词that/which,省略掉了。所以,正确选项是B。
四、利用补差抗干扰法
很多时候我们会受母语汉语的思维方式影响,却忽略了英语中的表达习惯。例如:如果你方便的话,请给我回电话。
正确的表达方式应是:Call me back if it is convenient for you。如果翻译成“Call me back if you are convenient”则错了。
五、借用标识词提示法
借助标点或连词,判断填人称代词还是关系代词,谓语动词还是非谓语动词。如:
He has two sons,both of them being doctors.(独立主格结构。)
He has two sons,both of whom are doctors.(非限制性定语从句。)
He has two sons; both of them are doctors.(并列的分句。)
He has two sons,and both of them are doctors.(and连接并列句。)
六、巧用相似句观察法
英语中有些句型很相似,如果不加以仔细观察在做题目时很容易出错误。例如:
It is known to all that pollution has become a serious problem in the world today.
As is known to all,pollution has become a serious problem in the world today.
What is known to all is that pollution has become a serious problem in the world today .
解析:第一句中“it”是形式主语,that 引导主语从句。第二句中“as”是关系代词,引导的是定语从句;第三个句子中,what 引导主语从句,that引导表语从句。
考生平常应扎实地掌握好词汇和语法等基础知识,多练习,多积累,摸索做题方法和规律,灵活运用;考试时审清题目,理清思路,多几分细心,定能在考试中做好此类题,取得理想分数。
