高考英语选择题突破（13）

　　十三

　　1.The traffic problem we are looking forward to seeing _____ should have attracted the local government’s attention.

　　A. solving

　　B. solve

　　C. to solve

　　D. solved

　　选D。本题主要考查学生分析句子的成分和掌握结构的能力。we are looking forward to seeing是定语从句修饰先行词the traffic problem, 同时充当seeing的宾语，而用solved作宾补，表示被动，即see the traffic problem solved。

　　2. — He ought to have been warned of the danger.

　　— ______, but he just wouldn’t listen to me.

　　A. So ought he

　　B. So he was

　　C. So was he

　　D. So he had

　　选B。ought to have been warned of表示“本应该被告诫有危险”，是对过去动作的推测，因此回答也应该用过去时。A的构成形式不对。而So he was必须与第一句谓语动词have been一致。

　　3.The cruelty of the terrorists towards the two Chinese engineers in Pakistan and _____ of the terrorists towards America in September 11, filled everyone with horror.

　　A. those

　　B. that

　　C. one

　　D. it

　　选B。在形成对比时，为了避免与前面可数名词单数或不可数名词的重复一般要用that替代。

　　4. It was not until she had arrived home _____ her appointment with the doctor.

　　A. did she remember

　　B. that she remembered

　　C. when she remembered

　　D. had she remembered

　　选B。本题考查对not until从句的强调句型，其结构为：It is/was+被强调部分+that部分。

　　4. — These boxes are too heavy for me to move.

　　— Here, I’ll give you a hand ____ them.

　　A. everywhere

　　B. somewhere 

　　C. anywhere

　　D. nowhere

　　选D。nowhere near是一个固定短语,意为“远不是”。

　　— I’d like to, but I won’t be free tonight. Let’s make ____ some other day.

　　A. it

　　B. them

　　C. you

　　选A。make it表示“按时到达某处(目的地);成功”。又如:A: You have just 15 minutes to get your train.(你只有15分钟时间去赶乘这班火车了。) B: All right, I guess I can make it.(没关系,我想我赶得上。)

　　You have made a few spelling mistakes in your composition, but ____, it is fairly good.

　　A. on the whole

　　B. generally speaking

　　C. above all

　　A. Studying

　　A. Giving

　　B. To give

　　C. Given

　　____ you may be right , I can’t agree completely.

　　选C。 it (= the US/UK war) caused是定语从句修饰the suffering。

　　17. —Yangyang carried off the first winter Olympic _____ medal for China.

　　—Great! What ____ she won for our motherland!

　　A. golden; honour

　　B. gold; honor

　　C. golden; honors

　　D. gold; honors

　　选B。根据句意可以知道，第一空"金牌"意思为"含金之物"，应用gold作定语，而golden 为比喻性形容词，意思为"金色的"。例如golden rice"金黄色的稻子"；第二空 honor 在此意思为"荣誉，光荣"，是不可数名词。

　　Some of the students have already learned enough English to ____ a conversation with a native English speaker.

　　A. hold on B. keep on C. go on

　　D. carry on

　　选D。选项A、B、C三个动词短语都表示"继续"之意，与题干中名词a conversation with a native English speaker构成短语，不符句意。

　　—_____ Mr Smith ____ this week?

　　— No. He is on holiday.

　　A. Has; worked

　　B. Does; work

　　C. Did; work

　　D. Is; working

　　选D。根据答句He is on holiday.说明动作处于正在进行状态，而不是完成性的、过去发生的或经常性的动作，故排除选项A、B、C，选用现在进行时20. —Got your driving license?

　　—No. I _____ too busy to have enough practice, so I didn’t take the driving test last week.

　　A. was B. am C. have been D. had been

　　选D。问句中Got your driving license?为Have you got your driving license？现在完成时的省略表达，该句对选项无影响。决定选项动词时态的是答句中so I didn’t take the driving test last week.分析句意可知，选项动作发生在后一动作之前，表示过去的过去，故应用过去完成时
