高考英语选择题突破（1）

　　一

　　1.—He must be busy doing his homework right now.

　　—I imagine____.

　　A. that

　　B. to

　　C. so

　　D. it

　　选C。I imagine so=I think so,

　　2. Mary had promised to give me a ticket for tomorrow. She failed, ____.

　　A. either

　　B. though

　　C. but

　　D. too

　　选B。结合上下文意思我们可以知道本题表示转折关系，先排除A、D；而but为并列连词通常放在句首或句子中间起连接作用。故选B。

　　3. When I got to the cinema, the film _____ for five minutes.

　　A. had begun

　　B. has been on

　　C. has begun

　　D. had been on

　　选D。电影开始了五分钟，for five minutes为一段时间要求谓语动词要用延续性动词，故A和C先排除，而从句的动作发生在主句动作之后。

　　4.---I wonder why Mr Green hasn’t showed up at the meeting yet.

　　---I’m not sure, but he _______ in a traffic jam driving here.

　　A. could be stuck

　　B. might stuck

　　C. might have been stuck D. must have stuck

　　选C。表示对过去已经发生事情的推测应该用情态动词的完成时形式，但might的可能性不大；结合上下文的意思可以知道应该用被动形式。

　　5.We have moved into a four-room flat so far. Our room is between _____.

　　A. Mary’s and Helen’s

　　B. Mary and Helen’s

　　C. Mary and Helen

　　D. Mary’s and Helen

　　选A。由句子的意思可以知道这里表示两人各自的房间。

　　6.With the development of science and technology, people’s life _______ in the past few years.

　　A. improved

　　B. has improved

　　C. is improving

　　D. had improved

　　选B。根据句子后面的时间状语in the past few years可以知道句子应该使用现在完成时。

　　7.Wang Wei is one of many Chinese students _______ “on the go’.

　　A. who lives life

　　B. who live life

　　C. that lives living

　　D. that live living

　　选B。 “one of +名词/代词“接定语从句时，先行词是前面的名词或代词，而不是one,因此可以排除A和C;再根据live用作及物动词时一般要接同源宾语live (a happy/ sad/poor, etc.) life，因此选B。其中on the go可以看着是相当于形容词的短语作定语。

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

　　A. of

　　B. more

　　C. most

　　D. /

　　选B。本题容易选A。因为许多学生很快会联想到a lot of短语。其实，只需要仔细看完句子就会发现句子的后面有than,暗示要选比较等级，而比较级前面用a lot来加强语气。

　　9.The TV set he _________ works well now.

　　A. has repairing

　　B. having repaired

　　C. has been repaired

　　D. has had repaired

　　选D。本题考查学生综合能力。首先要知道he________是定语从句，对先行词The TV set进行修饰。由于the TV set在定语从句中作宾语，所以可以省略关系代词that或which。而定语从句中有have sth done结构，即文章的句子为：The TV set that/ which he has had repaired works well now.主句为The TV set works well now.

　　10.Lei Feng is always ready to help others when they are in trouble and he never _______ their request.

　　A. turns up B. turns over

　　C. turns in D. turns down

　　选D。本题考查短语动词的区别。turn up的意思是“将音量调高”、“出现，露面“；turn over意思是“打翻，移交；翻身”；而turn in表示“上交”；turn down表示“将音量等调低或拒绝”的意思。结合上下文的意思应该选D。

　　11.Nowadays ________ Internet is becoming increasingly popular and new high speed broadband network was recently started.

　　A. a; the

　　B. the; a

　　C. a; a

　　D. the; the

　　选B。本题主要考查冠词的用法。Internet为特指对象；而一条高速的新宽带网为泛指，用不定代词a。

　　12.---Good evening. I _______ to see Miss Mary.

　　---Oh, good evening. I’m sorry, but she is not in.

　　A. came

　　B. come

　　C. have come

　　D. had come

　　选C。本题主要考查动词时态的用法。选项A表示过去所发生的事情；B表示经常性或习惯性的动作；C表示目前的情况和影响；D时态不符合对话的时间和语境。

　　13.The factory produced many famous cars, none of ____ shipped to foreign countries.

　　A. them

　　B. which

　　C. it

　　D. what

　　选A。本题容易误选B。容易被认为是一个非限制性定语从句。理由是none后面没有并列连词and, but。但是，ship在这里是一个及物动词，意思为“运送……到”，也就是说这里的shipped是一个过去分词，后面的部分是一个独立主格结构。如果在shipped前面加一个was，则应该选B，构成非限制性定语从句。

　　14. The manager decided to give the job to ____ he believed had a strong sense of duty.

　　A. whoever

　　B. whomever

　　C. who

　　D. those

　　选A。 作宾语从句的主语；he believed可视为插入语。

　　15. — Tod hadn’t passed the exam and was afraid of being scolded.

　　— _____.

　　A. So it was with Jim

　　B. So was Jim, his classmate

　　C. It’s the same with Jim

　　D. Neither had Jim, his classmate

　　选A。So it was with Jim是指上一句的内容也适合另一个人。如选项C中It’s改为It was才对。

　　16.The Indian Ocean tsunami at the end of 2004 is believed _____ more than 160,000 people and made millions homeless, _______ it perhaps the most destroying tsunami in history.

　　A. to kill; making

　　B. to have killed; making

　　C. having killed; to make D. killing; made

　　选B。本题考查句型结构及非谓语动词的意义。根据believe句型，believe sb. /sth to be/ to have done可以知道，第一空填to have killed;第二空的非谓语动词表示结果，动词的-ing形式表示事情发展的自然结构，而不定式表示出乎意料的结果。

　　17. Is it true _____ the rain stops, it will be as hot as in the summer here?

　　A. when

　　B. that when

　　C. whenever

　　D. that

　　选B。本题考查学生分析句子结构的能力。It is true that构成一个主语从句，而主语从句内部又有一个以when引导的时间状语从句。

　　18.Mike, as far as I know, _______ like to play music.

　　A. seems

　　B. appears

　　C. feels

　　D. does

　　选D。as far as I know为插入语，去掉插入语后，在结合like后面的不定式可以知道like为动词而不是介词，故排除A、B、C。D项does+动词原形表示强调，意思为“的确，确实”。

　　19.The time he has devoted in the past years _______ the disable is now considered ________ of great value.

　　A. to help; being

　　B. to helping; to be

　　C. to help; to be

　　D. helping; being

　　选B。前一部分考查devote one’s time to doing sth句式。其中devote的宾语the time在定语从句中提到了前面并省略了；后一部分中的consider的后面接了主语补足语，所以用不定式作补语。整个句子的意思为：他在过去的十年中用在帮助残疾人身上的时间现在被认为是很有价值。

　　20._______ different life today is ________ what it was 30 years ago.

　　A. How; from

　　B. What a; from

　　C. What; from

　　D. How; with

　　选A。由于受a…life的影响，容易选B。实际上本句主句的主语是life today，而different from 是主句的表语。可以把它变成普通句式：Life today is different from what it was 30years ago.
