以下题目为上海市2014年中考英语试题:
32. Old Mr. Black lives happily with his three dogs. ___ of them are part of his family.
A. Both B. All C. None D. Neither
这是关于pronoun代词使用的考查。根据句子意思这里需要一个subject主语来指代three dogs那么A, C and D都不适合。大家注意none所接的动词单数和复数都是正确的,而neither的动词必须是单数。
33. Air pollution has become ____ than ever before. We must do something to stop it.
A. serious B. more serious C. most serious D. the most serious
比较级的考查是各种英语考试都喜欢的题型。关于比较级的使用我们会在语法课程里有专门的讲解,而这道题目较为简单是比较级的形式展示,要么+er,要么+more,当然还有不规则变化。这里只有B是正确的答案。
34. ______ carefully, Michael! There’s a school ahead.
A. Drive B. To drive
C. Drove D. Driving
首先要判断这里的句式,是imperative即祈使句意思是give an order,因此该句式需要no-to infinitive即动词原形。选项A是正确答案。
35. All passengers ______ go through safety check before they take a plane.
A. can B. may C. must D. ought
关于modal verbs即情态动词的考查,我们认为情态动词的翻译首先是愚蠢的,如果10年之后你不学习英语了恐怕早就忘记了什么叫做情态动词,在英语语法里有两种动词:modal verbs or helping verbs and main verbs。而关于modal verb题目最好的解决方案是通过句子意思判断。我们知道must做modal verb时表示necessarily and probably两个意思,这道题目刚好需要necessarily这样的意思表达。
36. ---Would you like to go to the cartoon show with me?
----It sounds like fun, ____ I’m too busy.
A. so B. for C. or D. but
这道题目考查英语compound句式即复合句。说到复合句大家需要记住FANBOYS这几个连接词即for, and, nor, but, or, yet and so。那么上面这道题目依然是通过意思来判断。sounds like fun和too busy明显是两件对立的事情,这里需要转折的关系, D选项是最适合的答案。
