三、經典名題導解
1.Little Jim should love________ to the theatre this evening.
A. to be taken B. to take
C. being taken D. taking
答案:A
精析:should love to 相當于should like to 或should prefer to 在表示“想要時”,其后通常接動詞不定式形式,根據句意“小湯姆想要別人帶他去影劇院”,此處應用不定式的被動形式,故選A。答案B的語態不對,在should love的后面不跟動詞-ing形式,故也不選C、D。
2.-Exceuse me,is this Mr .Brown’s office?
-I’m sorry,but Mr.Brown________works here.He left about three years ago.(90年高考題)
A. not now B. no more
C. not still D. no longer
答案:D
精析:根據題干的提示,Mr.Brown已不在此工作了,應選D,no longer相當于not…any longer,表示“不再”,它可以用在實義動詞之前或連系動詞、助動詞之后,也可以放在句末,例如:He studied hand no longer after the examination.在考試之后,他再也不努力學習了。答案A、C不符合句意,不能選,答案B也表“不再”,相當于“not…any more”,通常用在句末,或者放在名詞前作定語,還可單獨用作主語、賓語或表語,但不能放在句中,故不能選。
3.He paid the boy $10 for washing ten windows,most of_______ hadn’t been cleaned at least a year.(90年高考題)
A.these B.those C.that D.which
答案:D
精析:根據句意可以判斷后面的分句是一個非限制性的定語從句,應選D,most of which指“十扇窗戶中的大部分”,which指代windows,作介詞of的賓語。分句與分句之間,必須有一個并列的連詞,而選用these或those不符合這一原則,故不選答案A和B,在介詞后面不用引導詞that,指人時用whom,指物時用which.
4.Mother was worried because little Alice was ill, especially
_____Father was away in France.(94年高考題)
A.as B.that C.during D.if
答案:A
精析:此句意為“母親很著急,因小艾麗斯病了,特別是她父親還在法國的時候”,用as表示“當……的時候”,故選A。答案B不能表時間,答案C中的during是介詞,在它后面只接名詞,例如:during the class 在上課期間,during the day在白天,故不能選C,答案D表條件,不符合句意,故不選.
5.She thought I was talking about her daughter,_____, in fact,I was talking about my daughter.(95年高考題)
A.whom B.where C.which D.while
答案:D
精析:從關鍵詞“in fact”,我們可以看出,前后兩個句子形成一種對比,表示的意思是:她認為我在講她女兒,而實際上我在講我女兒。連詞while可表對比,故選D。whom,where,which引導定語從句,而實際上后面的句子不是定語從句,故都不能選。
6.He let me repeat his instruction__________sure that I understood what was ________after he went away.
A.to make;to be done B.making;doing
C.to make;to do D.making;to do
答案:A
精析:題目的四個選項有兩上是不定式,另兩個為現在分詞。這里表達的是前面動作的目的而不是伴隨情況,因此,很容易就可以排除B、D兩項。從后面看,句子的主語是要做的事情,動詞不定式應當使用被動形式。動詞不定式和分詞是英語學習中的重點和難點,在學習時,一定要系統地理解和掌握它們的用法。
7.I was disappointed with the play. I had expected________to be much more interesting.
A.that B.this C.one D.it
答案:D
精析:此題旨在考查學生是否掌握代詞one、it和that的用法。橫線上需用一個代詞指代the play,是確切指代,所以選D項。
8.Fewer people are coming to his café________,though he has wished for more money_________.
A.day after day;day after day B.day by day;day by day
C.day after day;day by day D.day by day ;day after day
答案:D
精析:此題旨在考查學生是否掌握了名詞疊用作狀語的用法。n. + by + n.表變化;n. + after + n.表重復。這句話意思是:“雖然他一天天地希望多賺錢,可客人一天比一天少。”所以選D項。

Computer programmer David Jones earned £35,000 a year designing new computer games,yet he cannot find a bank prepared to let him have a check card.Instead,he has been told to wait another two years until he is 18.
He worked for a small firm in Liverpool,where young people of his age are finding jobs.David’s biggest headache is what to do with his money.Though he has high payment,he cannot drive a car or get credit cards(信用卡).
David got his job four months ago,a year after leaving school with six O-levels (普通成績)and working for a time in a computer shop.“I got the job because the people who run the firm knew I had already written some programs,”he said.
“I suppose £35,000 sounds a lot but I hope it will come to more than that this year.”He spends some of his money on records and clothes,and gives his mother 20 a week as he lives with his parents.But most of his spare time is spent working.
“Unfortunately,computing was nor part of our studies at school,”he said.“But I had been studying it in books and magazines for four years in my spare time.I knew what I wanted to do and never considered staying on at school.Most people in this business are fairly young,anyway.I would like to earn a million and I suppose early retirement(退休)is a possibility.You never know when the market might disappear.”
58. Why is David so different from other young people of his age?
A.He earns an extremely high payment. B.He has got a job.
C.He lives at home with his parents. D.He does not go out much.

61. He left school after taking six O-levels because_______.

The results of the US/NATO bombing(轟炸)of Yugoslavia are to be judged by history.I shall not be the one to do it.But being in the center of actual events that are creating that history stay away from what is going on in my country.
First of all,the aim of the bombing was to prevent a human suffering in Kosovo. Today,after many days of frequent bombing,that aim is more distant than before.The bombing only brought tens of thousands of people running away from their homes.Not to mention the large number of the death and injury,buildings and factories.Suppose that the US/NATO really had a wish to prevent the human suffering,they should realize by now how wrong they thought the bombing would solve the problem.
So,what’s left? Back off or ground troops?But who is going to join the ground troops?It would take at least 200,000 armed soldiers,not the 20,000 that the US/NATO have prepared in Macedonia.It should also be clear that the Serbs(塞族)will not give up on Kosovo.
I live under continuous bombing for more than a week now.And it doesn’t frighten me any more.I don’t turn to the shelter(避難所)at the sound of warning.It’s the thought of ground troops that frightens me.Vietnam would seem like a pic.ruiwen.compares to bloodshed(流血事件)in Kosovo if the ground troops appear.Is that what the US/NATO wants?
63. Which of the following statements is true?
A.The US/NATO really intends to stop the human suffering.
B.The result of the war will be judged by people in Kosovo.
C.The bombing made tens of thousands of people homeless.
D.The continuous bombing will make the Serbs give up on Kosovo.
64. What worries the writer most?
A.The continuous bombing. B.The coming of ground troops.
C.The sound of bomb warning. D.The idea of ground troops.
65. What worries the writer’s attitude towards the bombing in Kosovo?
