巧用还原法快解单选题(在线收听

   在英语的单项填空题中,有许多是针对考生解题的思维定势所设计的“陷阱题”。出题人往往通过变化句子结构,把简单的句子改写成一个少见或陌生的结构,来干扰学生的思路,使学生误入“歧途”。对于这类题考生可以反其道而行之,把题干还原为自己所熟悉的结构。这样,题目就会变得简单,答案也就比较容易判定。具体来说,可采用以下几种方法:

  一、疑问句改为陈述句
  疑问句的使用,使句子的结构变得陌生,考生可将题干还原成陈述句。如:
  1. Whom would you rather have _________ with you?
  A. to go B. go C. gone D. going
  分析:将题干还原为陈述句: Would you rather have whom ________ with you. 很容易看出测试的知识点是 have sb. do 结构。答案为 B 。
  2. Is this factory _________ you visited yesterday?
  A. that B. which C. the one D. where
  分析:将题干还原为陈述句: This factory is ___________ you visited yesterday. 很容易看出该句缺先行词,所以选“ the one ”。答案选 C.
  试比较: Is this the factory _________ you visited yesterday?
  A. when B. which C. the one D. where
  分析:将题干还原为陈述句: This is the factory __________ you visited yesterday. 此句缺定语从句的连接词。答案为 B 。
  二 . 陈述句改为倒装句
  考生们经常接触的是倒装句,而命题者却有意地使用陈述句来命题。如:
  We had ______ got home than it began to rain.
  A. no sooner B. hardly C. almost D. nearly
  分析:“ no sooner … than ”是考生非常熟悉的一个倒装句型,但命题者却使用了一个陈述句。如果将题干还原为 _________had we got home than it began to rain, 就能很容易地选出答案 A 了。
  三 . 倒装句改为陈述句
  On the grass _________ two sheep.
  A. lies B. lie C. laid D. lying
  分析:将题干还原为陈述句: Two sheep _________ on the grass. 答案为 B.
  四 . 去掉从句
  命题者有时会故意在句子中插入从句造成主谓隔离以增强干扰。如果将从句去掉,题干就会变得很简单。如:
  1. The young student did all that he could ________ the examinations.
  A. pass B. to pass C. passing D. passed
  分析: that he could 是一个定语从句。将其去掉就会发现这个句子少了一个目的状语。答案为 B 。
  2. The days we look forward to ________ at last.
  A. comes B. to come C. came D. coming
  分析:本题易被误认为介词 to 的后面要接动名词(即动词 -ing 形式)。实际上 we look forward to 是一个定语从句,介词 to 的宾语为 the days 。去掉这个从句,就可以看出题干中缺少一个谓语。答案为 C 。
  3. The country life he was used to _________ greatly since the opening policy.
  A. change B. has changed
  C. changing D. having changed
  分析:去掉从句 he was used to ,可以看出本题缺少一个谓语。答案为 B 。
  五 . 去掉插入语
  1. Who do you think _________ us a talk this afternoon?
  A. to give B. gave C. will give D. giving
  分析: do you think 是插入语,把它去掉,答案也就一目了然了。答案为 C 。
  2. He believes in himself, ________, in my opinion, is of the most importance.
  A. that B. which C. what D. as
  分析:去掉 in my opinion 可知这是一个非限定性定语从句。答案为 B 。
  3. The manager decided to give the job to __________ he believed had a strong sense of duty.
  A. whomever B. whoever C. who D. those
  分析:去掉 he believed ,很容易得出答案 B 。
  六 . 被动句改为主动句
  由于被动句的使用,句子的结构相对于主动句不是那么清楚。如果将其改为主动句,句子结构就会变得清楚一些。如:
  1. Every minute should be made good use of ________ our lessons well.
  A. learing B. learned C. to learn D. learns
  分析:将题干还原为主动句: We should make good use of every minute _________ our lessons well. 可以发现介词 of 有其相应的宾语,其后不能再用动名词作宾语,而应用不定式作目的状语。答案为 C 。
  2. The little boy was caught _________ in the shop.
  A. to steal B. stealing C. steal D. stole
  分析:将题干还原为主动句: The salesman caught the boy _________ in the shop. 很容易看出考查的知识点为 catch sb. doing sth. 答案为 B 。
  七 . 省略句改为完整句
  省略句使考生不易看清句子的结构。对于这类试题,可将省略的成分恢复,使句子的结构变得完整而明朗,进而再选择合适的答案。如:
  1. - How long has this bookshop been in business?
  - ______ 1982.
  A. After B. In C. Since D. From
  分析:将答语部分补全: This bookshop has been in business ______ 1982. 在所给的选项中只有 since 能与现在完成时连用。答案为 C 。
  2. - What made her mother so angry?
  - ______ the exam.
  A. Because she didn't pass
  B. Her not passing
  C. She didn't
  D. Because her not passing
  分析:将答语部分补全: _______ the exam made her mother so angry. 可以看出句子缺少一个主语,而能用作主语的是 B 项,即动名词的复合结构作主语。答案为 B 。
  八 . 强调句改为一般句
  It is the protection for the trees _______ really matters, rather than how many trees are planted.
  A. what B. that C. / D. which
  分析:将题干还原为: The protection for the trees really matters, rather than how many trees are planted. 此题为强调句,强调主语。答案为 B 。
