8. 注意英汉表达习惯差异，排除母语干扰

英汉两种语言在表达上存在很大的差异，考生很可能会用汉语的思维方式去认识和解决英语中的问题，掉入命题人设置的陷阱。

(1)　 -Were all the toys for the children carried to their new kindergarten?

-No, 　　 　　only some of them.　 (2006北京西城区5月第28题)

A. it was　　　　 B. they were　　　　　　　　 C. there were　　　　　　　　 D. there was

考生很可能误选C。因为，考生想表达“不，只有一些被运往新幼儿园”，很可能用“There be…”结构表达自己的思想。但是，本句实际采用了强调结构，强调“only some of them”，后面省略了“that were carried to their new kindergarten”。因此，正确答案为A。

(2) My uncle used to smoke ________, but he was given it up since he was operated on last year.

A. seriously 　　　B. heavily　　　 C. badly　　　 D. hardly　 干扰项为A，正确答案为B。

7.重视标点作用，细析结构解题

(1) Which material can be throw into the sea __________ its nature?

Which material can be throw into the sea __________ its nature.

A. depends on　　　　 B. depending on　　　　 C. to depend on　　　　 D. depend on

根据上一题后的问号我们可以得知该句的主语为Which material，谓语部分can be throw into the sea，所以填空部分应该在句中充当状语，因此答案为B，意思是“根据性质，哪种材料可以被扔到海里呢”；而下一题中的句号表明该句的主语为从句Which material can be throw into the sea，填空部分为句子的谓语，所以答案为A，意思是“哪种材料可以被扔到海里取决于它的性质”。

(2) ________ you believe him when he says he loves you! He says the same to many girls.

A. Do　　　　　 B. Didn’t　　　　　 C. Did　　　　　 D. Don’t　　　 答案为：D

6. 连、代不可小看，有无大不相同

(1) If weather _________,we will go to the Western Hill for a picnic.

Weather _________,we will go to the Western Hill for a picnic.

A. permitted　　　　 B. permitting　　　　　 C. permits　　　　　 D. to permit

答案为：C / B　 做好非谓语类的题目，除了要掌握它的各种基本形式与语法功能，能准确分析句子成分、结构、还应熟悉一些有效的解题技巧。

(2) All my homework _________, so I went out to play football with other boys.

All my homework _________, I went out to play football with other boys.

A. having finished　　　 B. had been finished　　　　 C. finished　　　　 D. finishing

答案为：B / C

(3) ________ himself to the experiment he was doing, he didn’t notice me when I went in.

________ to the experiment he was doing, he didn’t notice me when I went in.

答案为：B / A

类似的表达法还有：　　 employ oneself in/be employed in 　　　 apply oneself to/be applied to　　　　 absorb oneself in/be absorbed in 　　　　　 dedicate oneself to/be dedicated to　　　 　

engage oneself in/be engaged in　　　　　 involve oneself in/be involved in

5. 似是而实不是，还原一举两得　

疑问句还原成陈述句；复杂句还原成简单句。

(1) Who do you think you’d like _____ with you, a boy or a girl?

A. to have go　 　　　　 B. to have to go　　　 C. to have gone　　　 　 D. having to go

在确定答案之前，我们先来看看这个句子：I think I’d like to have a boy go with me.句中的 go 要用原形，这是因为其前有表示使役的动词have。在此句中，假若对名词a boy 提问，便可得出：Who do you think you’d like to have go with you? 对照上面一题，答案很显然是A。

4. 综合语法知识，注意句子结构

(1) a: --Dad, can I go out to play basketball with my classmate?

--I’m afraid you can’t ________ your homework is being done.

b: --Dad, can I go out to play basketball with my classmate?

--I’m afraid you can’t ________ your homework is done.

A. after　　 B. until　　　 C. as　　　　 D. when　 答案为：C / B

(2) It was the village ________ the scientists found some ancient tombs, containing a lot of treasures.

It was in the village ________ the scientists found some ancient tombs, containing a lot of treasures.

A. where　　　 B. that　　　　 C. the place　　　　　 D. the place where

通过对比分析，我们可以看出上一题中后面为定语从句，所以答案为A，而下一题则为强调句型，答案为B。类似的考题经常在试卷中见到，解答该类题目是一定要认真分析句子结构从而准确答题。

3. 排除思维定势的干扰

(1)He was busy writing a story, only _________ once in a while to smoke a cigarette.

A. to stop　　　　 B. stopping　　　　 C. to have stopped　　　　　 D. having stopped

句意为“他忙于写故事，只是偶尔停下来抽支烟”。only to do形成思维定势，易错选A，但它表出乎意料的结果，依句意显然不合理。stopping在此作伴随状语，表在写故事期间偶尔停下来抽支烟，故选B。

( 2 ) I suggested the problem worthy _________ attention to _________ at the class meeting.

A. being paid; discussing　　　　　　　 B. to be paid; discussing　

C. to be paid; be discussed　　　　　　 D. being paid; being discussed

2. 把握上下文的时间隐含

有时题干中没明确给出时间，而是隐含在上下文中，考生只有通过对题干所给信息的推断，才能选定正确的时态。如：

(1)You do not need to describe her. I ________ her several times.

You do not need to describe her. I ________ her several times while I was in Beijing.

A. have been　　 B. had been　　　 C. saw　　　 D. was seeing

根据时态应用的规则，“several times”通常与现在完成时连用，所以上一题选择A。下一题中的“while I was in Beijing”是个关键的时间信息，句中的“several times”应从属于大的时间前提，所以答案为C。

(2) She_________ a new book last year, but I don’t know if she has finished it.

She_________ a new book last year, and it will be punished soon.

A. has been writing　　　 　B. wrote　　　 C. was writing　　　 D. had written

这两道题的时间状语皆为“last year”，但后面信息则完全不同，上一题题意为“她去年一直在写书，但我不知道她写完没有”，强调过去一段时间内一直在做某事应采用过去进行时，所以答案为C；下一题中“it will be punished soon”表明书已经写完了，所以它表示的是“她去年写了一本书”，答案是B。
