易错名词考题分析

1. _______ fathers made them have piano lessons.

A. Peter and Ann’s B. Peter’s and Ann’s C. Peter’s and Ann D. Peter and Ann

【解析】此题容易误选A或C。错误的原因是由于受思维定势的影响。平时考生们做多了“This is Lucy and Lily’s bedroom. ”这样的题,那么一看到这样的题就想到只是在后面一个单词后面用所有格。其实,到底用一个所有格,还是用两个所有格,取决于它们所修饰的名词:如果所修饰的名词是单数可数名词,就只在后面一个名词后面用所有格;如果所修饰的名词是复数可数名词,就两个名词都用所有格。正确答案为B。

2. There are a lot _______ people today than yesterday.

A. of B. / C. most D. more

【解析】此题容易误选A。有不少考生因受“ a lot of +名词”这一思维定势的影响,一看到a lot,就选择了A。其实,该句中的a lot是用来修饰形容词的比较级more的,than引导的是比较状语从句。正确答案为D。

3. “Excuse me, are you _______? ”

“No, we are _______. ”

A. American, Englishman B. American, Germans

C. American, Germen D. Englishman, Americans

【解析】先从词性来看,American 和 German 既可以用作名词也可以用作形容词,用作名词时,其复数形式分别为Americans 和 Germans;选项中的Englishman只能用作名词,其复数形式是Englishmen。

先看第一空:如果单从Excuse me, are you _______?来看,要是填Englishman,就应该在其前加不定冠词,即说成Excuse me, are you an Englishman? 但是,根据答语中的 we are…可知,问句中的you 其实是指“你”,而是指“你们”,所以如果用Englishman,就应换成 Englishmen 才对。由此可排除选项D。

再看第二空:由于German的复数是Germans,不是Germen,由此可确定C错误;再根据we are…可知,其后若用名词Englishman,必须要用复数Englishmen,而不能是单数,所以排除A。

所以此题答数为B。


冠词易错题分析

1. A spaceship flies at about eleven kilometers _______ second.

A. / B. the C. a D. an

【解析】此题容易误选B。这是由于思维定势引起的,很多同学认为这里的second是序数词,前面应该用定冠词the修饰。其实,second是“秒”的意思。正确答案为C。

2. _______ India and China are of _______ same continent.

A. /; the B. The ; the C. /; / D. /; a

【解析】此题容易误选D。这是由于受汉语思维的影响造成的,因为译成汉语时这句话的意思是“印度和中国在同一个大洲”,汉语里说“同一个”,在英语中要说“the same”,这就是此题的陷阱所在。正确答案为A。

语境·交际·常识

●打好语境基础

所谓语境就是指上下文。解答中考单项填空题,不要只盯在空格那个地方,也不要只盯在含空格的那一个句子,而要理解整个上下文的意思才能作出选择。请看下面这道中考题:

—You’re very ______, aren’t you? —Yes. Our team has won the game.

A. happy B. worried C. sad D. afraid

解答此题时你若只看问句,填任何一个答案都是正确的,当看到答句中的has won the match才知道只有答案A正确。

●打好交际基础

就是指考生还要懂得英语国家的人与中国人由于历史文化和思维方式的不同所造成日常交往中语言表达的不同。请看下面这道题:

—Your spoken English is much better! —______.

A. Oh, no B. You’re right C. thank you D. Not at all

当被别人称赞时,谦虚的中国人常说“不,哪里哪里”或“不,还差得远咧”等等,若按这种思维,很容易错选答案A或D;而西方人却是向对方表示感谢,所以答案是C。

●打好常识基础

有的中考试题既不是考词汇知识也不是考语法规则,而是考查考生的生活经验和科普常识,比如超市、加油站、公园、学校等公共场所的标志和电视中的一些图标等等。因此,在平时的日常生活中要细心观察,多看书报多看电视,广泛涉猎,并注意生活经验和科普常识的积累。请看下面这道中考试题:

Which of the following weather signs means “windy”?

答案是D,因为这个图表示windy。答案A表示cloudy,B表示rainy,C表示sunny。


典型代词考点易错题例析

1. I hear someone _______at the door. Please go and see who _______ is.

A. knock, he B. knocking, he C. knock, it D. knocking, it

【解析】此题容易误选A或B。这是由于汉语思维的影响引起的。大家都知道hear sb. do sth. 意为“听见某人做某事”,hear sb. doing sth. 意为“听见某人正在做某事”,这样一来很多人就会选择A或B,因为后面“去看看他是谁”从汉语的角度来看是没有错的。其实,在英语中常常用it来指代身份(姓名、职业等)不详的人。有人敲门时我们常常用英语问“Who is it?”正确答案为D。

2. Lucy and I are classmates. We _______ in Class One.

A. all are B. are all C. both are D. are both

【解析】此题容易误选A或C。这里受到汉语思维的影响引起的,译成汉语正好是“我们都在一班”。表示两者都要用both,both一般放在be动词、情态动词或助动词之后,行为动词之前。正确答案为D。

3. There is _______ egg at home. Will you please get _______ for me, please?

A. no, some B. not, some C. not any, any D. not an, any

【解析】此题容易误选C或D。这是由于死记语法条文引起的。因为大家都知道some一般用于肯定句中,而any一般用于疑问句或否定句中,这样一来A和B首先就给排除了。其实,在表示请求或建议的疑问句,如Would you like…? / What would you like…? / Could you/ I …? / What about…? / How about…? / Would/ will you please…?等等疑问句中习惯上要用some而不用any。又因为no可以直接修饰名词,而not必须加上a/an或any之后才可以接名词。因此正确答案为A。

4. —A latest English newspaper, please!

—Only one copy left. Would you like to have _______, sir?

A. one B. this C. that D. it

【解析】此题容易误选A。这是由于忽略语境和思维定势造成的。这里是在询问是否有报纸卖,很多同学认为这里最后一句话的意思是“先生,你是否想要一份”。其实,由上文中的Only one copy left. 可知,只剩下一份报纸了,这暗示了购买者别无选择,只能买“它”了。正确答案为D。
