英語單項選擇題的答題技巧
英語單項選擇題的答題技巧
項選擇題是繼聽力題后考查學生語言水平的第一項大題,單選題的成敗關系到考生整場考試的心理狀態(tài)和水平的發(fā)揮?,F(xiàn)分享2015高考英語單選題解題技巧,供考生參考復習。
第一步:理解語境,推敲語義。
第二步:化繁為簡,鎖定考點。
第三步:尋找題眼,排除干擾項,確定答案。
除了經(jīng)常用到的直接法和排除法,以下兩種解題方法在答單項選擇題時非常有效:
還原法:把題干還原為自己熟悉的結(jié)構,如將感嘆句、倒裝句、疑問句的題干改為陳述句,將被動句改為主動句,將強調(diào)句式、從句、插入語去掉,或者是將省略句補全;
類推法:如對題目的備選答案沒有把握,利用“如果A對,那么B也對”進行判斷和推理,排除A、B兩個選項。要注意語境,利用信息,適當分析句子結(jié)構,特別注意疑問句、感嘆句、定語從句中的句子成分還原;選定答案后盡量不琢磨,不輕易改動所選答案;注意這部分一定不要花過多的時間,盡量以30秒一題的速度答題。
轉(zhuǎn)換法
(二模,25) Look, ____beautiful flowers ____ the girl carrying that she becomes the focus in the room.
A.such;is B.so;are C.how;is D.what;are
正確答案為A。此題是一個such在句首的結(jié)果狀語從句的倒裝現(xiàn)象,第二空考查了主謂一致。乍一看,這道題有點無從下手。我們可以將倒裝句轉(zhuǎn)換成正常的語序來降低句子難度,即The girl ____ carrying beautiful flowers that she becomes the focus in the room.如此一來,不難看出選A。The girl is carrying such beautiful folwers that she becomes the focus in the room.這個女孩捧著如此美麗的花以至于她成為了房間里矚目的焦點。
(一模,21)-Kim,give me your report by 10am.
- ____ have you been in charge of this project?
A.Since when B.By whom C.For what D.From where
正確答案為A。此題答句是一個時間狀語前置的疑問句,可將其改為肯定句,即You have been in charge of this project ____.根據(jù)語境,應該選since when,意思為“從何時起你負責這個項目?”
刪除法
(二模,22)-Why are you so familiar with my close friend Nipple?
-Yeah,I happen,believe it or not,____ him in a packed trip.
A. to meet B.to be meeting C.to have met D.to be met
正確答案為C。將believe it or not刪除,使句子簡化,即I happen ____him in a packed trip.因為說話人遇見Nipple 是在happen to (碰巧)之前,所以用to have met。
(一模,35)____ in running for head of the department,which most colleagues had not expected,made her parents very upset.
A.Lucy was defeated B.Lucy being defeated
C.Lucy's been defeated D.Lucy's being defeated
正確答案為D。題目中的非限制性定語從句起到補充說明的作用,可以先行刪去使句子簡化。句子的主干則變?yōu)開___ in running for head of the department make her parents very upset.通過句子成分分析可知橫線中的成分充當句子的主語,選擇D,動名詞的復合結(jié)構做句子主語。B項應該排除,因為動名詞的復合結(jié)構做主語時,只能用名詞的所有格,不能用普通格。
代入法
(二模,21)This course is based on a project,one of ____ aims is to improve the students' comprehensive ability in English.
A.whose B.which C.its D.what
正確答案為A。此題是考查的非限制性定語從句,先行詞為project,可將project 代入定語從句中分析,即one of the project aims is to……不難發(fā)現(xiàn),劃線處應為the project's,原題中的劃線處成分充當aims 的定語,所以選A。此題的難度不大,關鍵是考生在做題時要認真細致。如果審題不清,遺漏了“one of ____ aims is to improve”中的“is”,錯誤地看成了“aims to improve”,就容易誤選成which了。
結(jié)合語境法
(二模,26)-Haven't seen you for ages!Where have you been?
-I ____ in Xinjiang for one year,volunteering services as a doctor.
A. have stayed B.stay C.stayed D.am staying
正確答案為C。由第一句話可知,答語中的人已經(jīng)回來了,即已經(jīng)不在新疆了。所以他曾經(jīng)在新疆呆過一年,這個是過去發(fā)生事情,現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)不在新疆了。由此可得出C。
(2014江蘇高考,23)-How much do you know about the Youth Olympic Games to be held in Nanjing?
-Well,the media ____ it in a variety of forms.
A.cover B.will cover C.have covered D.covered
正確答案為C.。由答語中的“Well”可知,說話人對于南京青奧會非常了解,所以說媒體已經(jīng)以各種形式報道過了。這題特別要注意語境,第一句話問道 “你對即將舉行的南京青奧會了解多少?”很多考生會把答語中的“Well”理解為 “好吧,那么”,再根據(jù)第一句話中的“to be held in Nanjing”得出是“即將舉行”,因此容易誤選成B,用了將來時。實際上,答語中首先要回答前者的提問,所以考生在答題時一定要仔細審題,把握好語境。
此外,動詞短語和同義詞辨析也是近年來高考和??伎疾榈闹攸c,2014年江蘇高考英語單選題里共5道題涉及了動詞短語或同義詞辨析,今年的二模卷和一模卷里各有6道,占了單選這一項總題量的近一半。這類題要求學生平時善于總結(jié)和積累,整理易錯題,及時復習,考前注意查漏補缺,知己知彼才能百戰(zhàn)不殆。
