1、命题原则 突出语境，强化语意，强调运用 2、单项选择题命题特征 覆盖面广，重点突出 突出在语境中运用常识的考查 淡化语法结构，看重能力 3、英语单项选择解题方法 （一）剖析句子结构 1.This is the main use that the scientists make______ natural resources. A. in B. up of C. from D. of 有的考试试题的考本来十分简单, 但命题者却通过用定语从句,或者将大家十分熟知的固定词组有意拆开,重新组合,使大家在结构上产生错觉。that the scientists make是定语从句,关系代词that是代表先行词use的,将它置入定语从句中,就得到that the scientists make use..显然是考查make use of 这一词组。正确答案是D。 （二）找准关键字语 2.It is______ any wonder that his friend doesnt like watching television much. A. no B. such C. nearly D. hardly 此题的关键字是any, 由于any常用于疑问句、否定句或条件句中,而此句不是疑问句，更不是条件句,所以应该是不是定句。no本身就等于not any，于是排除A。.因此，正确答案D(hardly=almost not)。 （三）补全省略成分 3.---What do you think made Mary so upset? --- ______her new bike. A. Lost B. As she lost C. Losing D. Because of losing 口语中会用一些省略句，作题是若将被省略的成分补充完整，答案就会一清二楚。此题将答句补全，就是Losing her new bike made Mary so upset。显然，只能选C，用动名词作主语。 （四）适合转换句式 4.---Mr. Wang ,whom would you rather ______ the important meeting? ---Tom. A. have attend B. have attended C. having attend D. have to attend 有时将题干的句式转换成自己更熟知的句式，就比较容易选出正确答案。如：将疑问句、强调句、感叹句或倒装句改为陈述句，将被动句改为主动句，将无序句调整为正常句。此题若将疑问句改为陈述句，就是I have Tom attend the important meeting。其中would rather 后需要跟动词原形，have sb do sth.所以选A。 （五）注意标点符号 5.There are eight tips in Dr. Rogers lecture on sleep, and one of them is:______ to bed early unless you think it is necessary. A. doesnt go B. not to go C. not going D. dont go 标点有时对大家作题有提示有哪些用途。此题比较容易选B,觉得是不定式做表语。其实冒号已经表明后面是Dr.Roger讲的原话，这原话应当是个句子，只有选D才构成一个否定的祈使句。 （六）删除干扰部分 6.We agree to accept______ they thought was the best tourist guide. A. whichever B. whoever C. whatever D. whomever 就是将起干扰用途的定语从句、介词短语或插入语，如I think/ suppose/believe，do you think/ suppose/believe， you know，of course等删除，从而更容易地选出正确答案。此题去掉插入语they thought ，可知宾语从句缺主语，又能与the best tourist guide 搭配的，只有答案B。 （七）借助对称结构 7.---English has a large vocabulary, hasnt it? ---Yes. ______ more words and expressions and you will find it easier to read and communicate. A. Know B. Knowing C. To know D. Known 就是在作题的过程中要擅长借助and, but等并列连词。若前面是个句子，后面也是个句子，反之亦然；若连接的是几个动词，这几个动词也一定是同一时态或同一形式。此题第二个and后面是个句子，所以前面也一定是一个句子，但前面这个句子没主语，只能使用动词原形，构成一个祈使句，因此答案是A。 又如：On Saturday afternoon, Mrs. Green went to the market, ______some bananas and visited her cousin. A. bought B. buying C. to buy D. buy （八）检查有无谓语 8.He wrote five novels, two of ______translated into English. A. it B. them C. which D. that 有时看上去有两个句子，于是就选连词，正好掉进命题人设计的陷阱。事实上，有时貌似句子的句子却没谓语，其中的动词只不过一个非谓语动词（多为分词）。此题比较容易误选C，以为后面是非限制性定语从句。事实上， translated是过去分词，而不是谓语动词，后面不是句子，无须连词，所以答案是B。若在translated前加上were，were translated就是谓语，这个时候就 选连词which。 （九）熟记固定搭配 9.Mr. Smith used to smoke ______ but he has given it up. A. seriously B. heavily C. badly D. hardly 在平常的学习中注意积累一些容易见到的固定句式、动词与副词的搭配、名词和形容词的搭配等。由于指烟瘾或酒瘾非常重，要用heavy或heavily ，因此答案是B。除此之外，雨雪下得大、烟雾浓、交通拥挤、波涛汹涌等，也用heavy。
