高考例題者常常利用熟悉的句型結構,在其中插入一些詞、短語搭配、插入語和定語從句來制造“陷阱”,增加創新力度,產生迷惑性,似是而非,從而讓考生在非常神氣的心情中快速地得出錯誤的答案導致失分。這就要求考生對整個語言環境進入深入分析,在較高的能力水平上,細心而自如地運用一個或幾個知識點來解題。這樣,我們在分析句子結構的基礎上采用省略法,省掉插入成分的前提下,簡化句子結構,從而找出正確答案。
16. He has spent I think a lot ______ time in reading than she has.
A. of B. more C. much more D. of much more
此題易錯選A、C. 選A形成a lot of搭配;選C形成much more time much修飾比較級。但我們通過分析題干,去掉插入語I think,該句可簡化為:He has spent a lot _____ time in reading than she has. a lot相當于 much起修飾作用,而不必再用much,從而得出正確答案為B.
17. Dorothy was always speaking highly of her role in the play _____ of course made the others unhappy.
A. who B. which C. this D. what
通過分析題干,可以得知of course為插入語,將其去掉,該句簡化為:Dorothy was always speaking highly of her role in the play _____made the others unhappy. 這樣,考生就很容易看出應用which代表整個主句內容,構成非限制性定語從句,正確答案為B.
18. With everything she needed ______ she went home.
A. washed B. being washed C. washing D. wash
考生初看此題,可能不知所措。我們通過分析題干得知,she needed是一個定語從句,關系代詞that省略了,去掉從句,該句簡化為:With everything _____ she went home. with everything _____為“with復合結構”,句意為:“把所有需要的東西洗完之后,她回家去了。”故正確答案為A.
