五、巧妙運用“排除法”,既方便又快捷
有時四個選項中一眼掃過去,會發現有三個是不可能的,這時采用“排除法”是最明智不過的。
With a lot of difficult problems ______, the newly-elected president is having a hard time.
A. settled B settling C. to settle D. being settled
析:既然“新總統現在的日子不好過”;“許多問題需要去解決”即發生在將來應用不定式,排除其余選項,正確答案為C。
六、采用“還原法”,再現廬山真面目
有些句子設題上具有一定的隱蔽性和迷惑性,原因是它已改變了原先的句式或省去了一些內容,使我們從表面上不容易辨別出其句型結構,增加了理解的難度。這時巧妙使用“還原法”能大大降低句子的難度,使人豁然開朗,茅塞頓開。
1、The more he thought about it, the more questions he thought of_____.
A. to be asked B. being asked C. asking D. to ask
析:此題用介詞“of”設陷阱,受定勢影響會誤選 -ing形式,但若能把后面部分還原為“he thought of more questions to ask”, 就能斷出正確答案為D。
2. ---Can I help you ?
---Yes, please. Do you have any books on cooking?
---There are only a few, _______.
A. if any B. if have C. if some D. if do
析:最后一句為省略句,補充完整為“......, if there are any.”,得知正確答案為A。
