一位哲人說:“你的心態(tài)就是你真正的主人。”一位偉人說:“要么你去駕馭生命,要么是生命駕馭你。你的心態(tài)決定誰是坐騎,誰是騎師。”
今年高考試卷,聽力速度適中,聲音清晰,學(xué)生普遍感覺比較容易。但接下去的單選題就使一些學(xué)生緊張起來。由于單選題是英語試卷的第二項,對單選題的感覺直接關(guān)系到學(xué)生的完成試卷的心態(tài)。考試之后,有相當一部分學(xué)生都反映,在做單選題時就開始緊張,從而影響自己的正常水平的發(fā)揮。
筆者對單選題進行了一番研究之后,發(fā)現(xiàn)并不是太難。我們平時在高三這一學(xué)年也做了很多的這一方面的專題訓(xùn)練,而且在平時的英語教學(xué)中,筆者也一直強調(diào)這樣的理念:高考題是平時題目的變式,題目不會一樣,但是其中所考查的知識點、語法知識是一樣的。可學(xué)生面對高考題時怎么就心慌了起來呢?認真分析了一下單選題,筆者這里把每一題所考查的知識點、語法點作了歸納:
1.The population of Jiangsu _______ to more than twice what it was in 1949.The figure is now approaching 74 million.
A.has grown B.have grown C.grew D.are growing
這一題考查the population of作主語時謂語用單數(shù),如果不知道的話,也可以聯(lián)想一下“What’s the population of Jiangsu?”中的謂語形式。不難選出正確答案A。
2.——Ann is in hospital.
——Oh,really? I ______ know.I ______ go and visit her.
A.didn’t,am going to B.don’t, would
C.don’t, will D.didn’t, will
這一題考查動詞的時態(tài)及will+v.表示臨時作出的決定,答出這一題容易。平時做過類似的題目,想必學(xué)生該題的得分率很高。
3.Because of the financial crisis,days are gone ______ local 5-star hotels charged 6,000 yuan for one night.
A.if B.when C.which D.since
這一題考查定語從句。這一題比較容易。
4.——I’m surprised to hear that Sue and Paul have ______.
——So am I.They seemed very happy together when I last saw them.
A.broken up B.finished up C.divided up D.closed up
這一題是語境考查題,根據(jù)下文的提示詞last saw,可以找到答案。
5.——Hi,Terry,can I use your computer for a while this afternoon?
——Sorry.____________.
A.It’s repaired B.It has been repaired
C.It’s being repaired D.It had been repaired
這一題考查時態(tài),根據(jù)sorry,就可以看出應(yīng)該在修理之中。
6.Schools across China are expected to hire 50,000 college graduates this year as short-term teachers,almost three times the number hired last year,______reduce unemployment pressures.
A.help B.to have helped C.to help D.having helped
這一題考查學(xué)生的理解能力,只要看懂句意,并跳過插入語,就能選出正確答案C。
7.Compared with his sister,Jerry is even more ______ to,and more easily troubled by,emotional and relationship problems.
A.sceptical B.addicted C.available D.sensitive
這一題考查詞的區(qū)別,比較容易。
8.He did not regret saying what he did but felt that he ______ it differently.
A.could express B.would express
C.could have expressed D.must have expressed
這一題考查情態(tài)動詞的用法,比較容易。
9.——Bill,can I get you anything to drink?
——____________.
A.You are welcome B.No problem
C.I wouldn’t mind a coffee D.Doesn’t matter
這一題是語境題,只要能夠分析清楚其中的語境,采取排他法,就能選出正確答案C.
10.This special school accepts all disabled students,______ educational level and background.
A.according to B.regardless of
C.in addition to D.in terms of
這一題是考查學(xué)生對介詞短語的辨析能力,關(guān)鍵是先弄懂句意,這一題不難。
11.______ unemployment and crime are high,it can be assumed that the latter is due to the former.
A.Before B.Where C.Unless D.Until
這一題是考查學(xué)生對連詞的掌握情況。
12.Distinguished guests and friends,welcome to our school,______ the ceremony of the 50th Anniversary this morning are our alumni (校友) from home and abroad.
A.Attend B.To attend C.Attending D.Having attended
這一題是隱性的語境題,它雖不是明確的兩人之間的對話,但根據(jù)句意首先要想到這是學(xué)校50周年的慶典會上的一句開場詞,因此這一題的時態(tài)應(yīng)是在進行中,而不是將來時間,因此答案選C而不選B。這一題還考查了倒裝句型。
13.——What’s the matter with Della?
——Well,her parents wouldn’t allow her to go to the party,but she still ______.
A.hopes to B.hopes so C.hopes not D.hopes for
這一題考查學(xué)生對句意的理解,只要看懂句意就能選出正確答案A。
14.Many young people in the West are expected to leave ______ could be life’s most important decision——marriage——almost entirely up to luck.
A.as B.that C.which D.what
這一題是考查學(xué)生的語法知識,要求學(xué)生對該句進行句子結(jié)構(gòu)的分析;通過分析leave后的賓語從句中缺少主語,因此選擇D.marriage是該賓語從句的同位語。
15.Nine in ten parents said there were significant differences in their approach to educating their children compared with ______ of their parents.
A.those B.one C.both D.that
這一題是考查學(xué)生對代詞的掌握情況,代詞具有指代作用,因此先要分析出此空指代的是哪個詞,可以從句意的角度思考出正確答案D。
通過分析單選題,發(fā)現(xiàn)題目并不是很難,但有些學(xué)生感覺不是很好,主要還是看到平時沒見過的句子就開始著急,沒有能靜下心來思考。因此,筆者認為在這次高考中良好的心態(tài)尤為重要。
