为了培养同学们的发现问题,分析问题,和解决问题的能力,命题人也常常出一些通过排除从而推知未知的东西的试题,而这我们要用排除法。
所谓排除法就是根据题目的要求,结合所学知识,排除题干中的冗余信息或者四个选项中的错误选项,从而降低理解难度,缩小选择范围,快速明确答案,提高命中率。具体来说有以下几点:
一、排除题干中的冗余信息
这些冗余信息包括插入语、定语从句、伴随状语等:
1. John plays football ___, if not better than, David.
A. as well B. as well as C. so well D. so well as
解析:若能排除题干中的插入语。If not better than 此题难度则大大降低,该题考查副词的比较等级的用法,as well as 这里意为和一样好。答案是B.
2. Is this the girl ___you think is kind and honest?
A. which B. who C. whom D. of whom
解析:若能排除题干中的插入语you think,便会发现定语从句缺少主语。而且指人,应用关系代词who,因此答案为B.
3. Hardly had all the points that the teacher taught ____down when the bell rang.
A. to taken B. taking C. taken D. been taken
解析:此题句子结构复杂,难度颇大,里边包含hardlywhen句型,表示一就。若能识别出定语从句that the teacher taught ,则会发现其余部分是被动语态。知识点被摘抄下来,答案为D.该句意为:我刚抄写完老师教的知识点就下课了。
4. Mr. Green together with his wife and children ___to Egypt by air for the ten day holiday.
A. go B. have gone C. is going D. are going
解析:题干中together with his wife and children 是伴随状语而不是并列主语。这样主语只有Mr. Green,据此判断谓语动词应用单数形式,只有C项符合乎要求。因此答案是C.
5. We didnt plan our art exhibition like that but it ____very well.
A. worked out B. tired out C. went on D. carried on
解析:本题中的tired out 是精疲力竭;went on 是继续进行;carried on是进行下去。通过上文并没计划着象那样,说明这一活动已结束,而从上面已知的B/C/D都无法表达这一语义,我们熟知work out 有算出、解决的意思,进一步延伸就是结果,所以选A.
6. Its generally believed that teaching is ___it is a science.
A. an art much as B. much an art as
C. as an art much as D. as much an art as
解析:本题考查的是asas 结构中的语序,所以A.B都不合适。因为第一个as 是副词,所以它不能直接修饰名词结构,它要求把这一结构中的形容词提到冠词之前,故本题选D. 即使选出之后,我们对这一陌生结构仍然糊里糊涂=Times New Roman评注:为了培养学生们的探索精神,以及在阅读中面对未知单词有良好的心理素质,命题人有意设计一个我们十分陌生的表达方式。我们可以依据我们所知道的、熟知的条件把它放在新的语境中,如果都不合适,那麽不熟悉的就可能是我们要选择的。
