易错单项填空陷阱题10例 01. His new novel made him the first person _____ this prize in Asia.A. to win                     B. winning                   C. win                         D. won【分析】此题答案选A【分析】,但很容易误选C,因为受句中使役动词make的影响,误认为其后的win the this prize 为宾语补足语。其实使役动词的宾语补足语应是the first person,其后的to win this prize 为修饰the first person的定语,故用不定式。 02. It is the protection for the trees ______ really matters, rather than how many trees are planted.A. what                       B. that                        C. 不填                      D. which【分析】此题答案选B,句子其实是一个强调句,强调主语。此句还原成非强调句即为:The protection for the trees really matters, rather than how many trees are planted. 请再看下面一个类似的例子:It was what he meant rather than what he said ______ annoyed me. A. which                      B. as                            C. what                        D. thatC.N>此题也是一个强调句型,空格处应填 that (即选D),被强调成分为 what he meant rather than what he said。句意为:让我生气的不是他说的话,而是他话中的意思。 03. She wrote a month ago, ______ we’ve heard nothing. A. since when             B. before which           C. since that                D. after which  【分析】此题答案选Amily: 'Times N,其中when 相当于 a month ago。若改为 and since then 也不可以。类似地下面一题也选A:He hid himself behind the tree, _____he could see what the man would do.A. from where              B. from which              C. under where             D. under which 04. “I knocked on the door, but no one answered it.” “If the lights were on, he ______ at home.”A. must be                  B. must have been   EN-G;    C. could be                  D. could have been【分析】此题答案选B。根据对话中的时态可知,所谈论情况发生在过去,也就是说空格处是对过去情况的推测,故情态动词后要接动词完成式。 05. How have you been? We _____ we should never see you again.A. think                      B. thought                   C. are thinking           D. have thought【分析】此题答案选B。前面说“你近来怎么样“?”,说明两人已经见了面,后面说“我们以为再不会见到你了”,这显然应是过去的看法,故用一般过去时。  06. His parents were in Malasia, and so were _______.A. she                 & 336.0pt; mso-char-indent-counnbsp;       B. her                          C. hers                        D. my【分析】此题答案选C。hers在此相当于her parents。句意为“他的父母在马来西亚,我的父母也在马来西亚”。注意,此题还可以下面这样的形式进行考查(答案选C):His parents were in Malasia, and so_______ hers. A. was                         B. is                             C. were                        D. didC. were 07. She may have missed the train, in _______ case she won’t arrive for another hour.A. whose                     B. that                         C. which                      D. what【分析】此题容 style="FON易误选 A,因为许多同学认为在定语从句中能用作定语的关系代词只有 whose。其实除 whose 可用作定语外,which 也可用作定语,只是含义上有差别:在此情况下,whose 的意思相当于 one’s,而 which 的意思则相当于 that 或 this。比较:This is Mary, whose [= and her] father we met last week.Call again at 11, by which time [= and by that time] the meeting should be over.注:若上面一题中的逗号前有连词 and,也可选 B(that)。请再看下面一道类似的考题: B(that)You can get there by plane or by boat, but in _____ case it’s very expensive.A. which                      B. this                          C. any                          D. either 首先应排除选项A,因为句中有并列连词 but;选B也不对,因为 this 是表示“确定”含义的,它与前面的 by plane or by boat 这种不确定性不相符;选项C也不行,因为 any 是表示三者或三者以上的情形,而 by plane or by boat 只有两种选择。故答案选 by plane or by boat D,either 表示“两者中任意之一”。 08. “I don’t like him, ____?” “No, I don’t at all.”A. do I        &nbne-height-rule: exactly; tasp;                B. do you                     C. don’t I                    D. does she【分析】此题容易误选A,认为这是一个普通的反意疑问句:陈述部分主语为I,疑问部分主语也应是I;陈述部分为否定式,所以疑问部分要用肯定式。做此题的关键是要看下文的语境,下文说“No, I don’t at all.”B,它是 do you like him? 的省略形式,全句意为:我不喜欢他,你呢(你喜欢他吗)? 请再看一个类似的例子:“Alice, you feed the bird today, _____?” “But I fed it yesterday.”A. do you      B. will you     C. didn’t you      D. don’t you you      B. will you此题容易误选D,与上题一样,认为这是一个普通的反意疑问句。此题的下文语境“But I fed it yesterday”(但是我昨天才喂过鸟)很重要,它表明上文是在要求对方去“喂鸟”。另外,前一句中的称呼语 Alice 也是一个重要的信息,联系此信息和下文语境,我们可断定 you feed the bird today 也是一个重要的信息,联系此信息和下文语境,我们可断定是一个带有主语的祈使句,所以此题的最佳答案应是B。  09. —Are you satisfied with his answer? —Not at all. It couldn’t have been ______.A. better                     B. worse                      C. more                       D. less【分析】此题最佳答案为B,关键是要理解 Not at all 的意思。根据上文语境,Not at all 为 I am not satisfied at all with his answer 之省略,即表示“我对他的回答一点>之省略,即表示”,既然如此,他的回答当然会是 couldn’t have been worse(不可能更糟)。值得注意的是,完成式的否定式与比较级连用有时可以表示最高级的意思,请看下面一道题:How beautifully she sings! I have never heard _____ voice.A. a better                    B. a best                       C. the better                  D. the best 此题容易误选D,认为最高级前用定冠词才是最佳的。其实此题最佳答案为A,该句可视为是下面这句的省略形式:…I have never heard a better voice than her voice. 全句句意为“她唱得多好啊!我从未听过她这么好的声音”。请再看几个例子:He is fine, never better. 他很好,比以往任何时候都好。He is fine, never better. I've never seen a finer bird. 我从未见过比这更美的鸟。I’ve never found a better job. 这是我找到的最好的工作。 10. —I _____ his telephone number. —I have his number, but I ____ to bring my phone book.”A. forget, forget          B. forgot, forgot         C. forget, forgot        D. forgot, forget【分析】此题容易误选A,认为“忘记”是现在的事。仔细体会一下对话的语境:第一个人说“我忘记他的电话号码了”,这个“,这个忘记”应该是现在的事,即现在忘记了,要不然就没有必要同对方说此话了,故第一空应填 forget;第二个人说“我有他的号码,但我忘记带电话本了”,这个“忘记”忘记(注意句中的转折连词 but),故第二空应填 forgot。请再看一例:—Oh, I ______ where he lives. —Don’t you carry your address book?—No, I ______ to bring it.A. forget, forget          B. forgot, forgot            C. forget, forgot         D. forgot, forget
答案选C,理由同上。
