09高考英语专项复习：单项选择题及详解

　　1.The traffic problem we are looking forward to seeing _____ should have attracted the local government’s attention.

　　A. solving B. solve

　　C. to solve D. solved

　　选D。本题主要考查学生分析句子的成分和掌握结构的能力。we are looking forward to seeing是定语从句修饰先行词the traffic problem, 同时充当seeing的宾语，而用solved作宾补，表示被动，即see the traffic problem solved。

　　2. — He ought to have been warned of the danger.

　　— ______, but he just wouldn’t listen to me.

　　A. So ought he B. So he was

　　C. So was he D. So he had

　　选B。ought to have been warned of表示“本应该被告诫有危险”，是对过去动作的推测，因此回答也应该用过去时。A的构成形式不对。而So he was必须与第一句谓语动词have been一致。

　　3.The cruelty of the terrorists towards the two Chinese engineers in Pakistan and _____ of the terrorists towards America in September 11, filled everyone with horror.

　　A. those B. that C. one D. it

　　选B。在形成对比时，为了避免与前面可数名词单数或不可数名词的重复一般要用that替代。

　　4. It was not until she had arrived home _____ her appointment with the doctor.

　　A. did she remember B. that she remembered

　　C. when she remembered D. had she remembered

　　选B。本题考查对not until从句的强调句型，其结构为：It is/was+被强调部分+that部分。

　　4. — These boxes are too heavy for me to move.

　　— Here, I’ll give you a hand ____ them.

　　A. for B. to C. with D. by

　　. 选C。答语中的 “them” 指前一句中的 “boxes”,而不指任何人,give sb. a hand with sth/in (at) doing sth.意为“帮某人做某事”。

　　5. Help has already come from them, but the aid is ____ near what we expected.

　　A. everywhere B. somewhere

　　C. anywhere D. nowhere

　　选D。nowhere near是一个固定短语,意为“远不是”。

　　6.— Would you like to go to the cinema with me this evening?

　　— I’d like to, but I won’t be free tonight. Let’s make ____ some other day.

　　A. it B. them C. you D. this

　　选A。make it表示“按时到达某处(目的地);成功”。又如:A: You have just 15 minutes to get your train.(你只有15分钟时间去赶乘这班火车了。) B: All right, I guess I can make it.(没关系,我想我赶得上。)

　　7. You have made a few spelling mistakes in your composition, but ____, it is fairly good.

　　A. on the whole B. generally speaking

　　C. above all D. on one hand

　　选A。on the whole意为“大体上,总体上”；generally speaking意思是“一般而言”；above all意思是“尤其是”；而on one hand意思是“一方面”，经常与on the other (hand)连用。

　　8. I hear Mr. Smith was writing a story last year and he still ____.

　　A. do B. does C. is D. am

　　选C。从题意分析,本题的空格处应用现在进行时。而本题的现在进行时的助动词应用is。

　　9. — Why do you want the book so much?

　　— ____, sir.

　　A. Studying B. Studied

　　C. Studies D. To study

　　选D。本题的答语部分也是一个省略句。补全后这个句子应是:I want the book so much to study, sir.。本题选用动词不定式在句中作目的状语。

　　10. ____ that they are inexperienced, they have done a good job.

　　A. Giving B. To give C. Given D. If given

　　选C。.given此处意为“考虑到”,在句中可用作介词或连词。

　　11. ____ you may be right , I can’t agree completely.

　　A. While B. As C. If D. Since

　　选A。while用作从属连词时,可表示“尽管、虽然”,引导一个让步状语从句。

　　12. ----_____ you or he the teacher of English?

　　----Neither my sister nor my mother present at the meeting.

　　A. Are; is B. Is; are C. Are; are D. Is; is

　　选A。第一空根据疑问句就近一致的原则选are;第二空根据neither…nor…的意义一致选单数。

　　13. All substances, _____ solid, liquids or gases, are made up of entirely atoms.

　　A. whether they B. whether

　　C. whether are they D. whether are

　　选B。本题考查省略用法。 whether (they are) solid, liquids or gases。

　　14. — Look! Here _____.

　　— Oh, yes, here _____.

　　A. the bus comes…it comes

　　B. comes the bus…comes it

　　C. does the bus come…does it come

　　选D。主语是名词时全部倒装；主语是代词时主谓不颠倒。

　　15. It is partly _____ the summer day is longer that everything has a larger time to warm up.

　　A. for B. that C. the reason D. because

　　选D。强调句型中的原因状语从句只能用because引导。

　　16. The US/UK war against Iraq and the suffering _____ caused have become a big concern all over the world.

　　A. what B. which C. it D. ×

　　选C。 it (= the US/UK war) caused是定语从句修饰the suffering。

　　17. —Yangyang carried off the first winter Olympic _____ medal for China.

　　—Great! What ____ she won for our motherland!

　　A. golden; honour B. gold; honor

　　C. golden; honors D. gold; honors

　　选B。根据句意可以知道，第一空"金牌"意思为"含金之物"，应用gold作定语，而golden 为比喻性形容词，意思为"金色的"。例如golden rice"金黄色的稻子"；第二空 honor 在此意思为"荣誉，光荣"，是不可数名词。

　　18. Some of the students have already learned enough English to ____ a conversation with a native English speaker.

　　A. hold on B. keep on C. go on D. carry on

　　选D。选项A、B、C三个动词短语都表示"继续"之意，与题干中名词a conversation with a native English speaker构成短语，不符句意。

　　19. —_____ Mr Smith ____ this week?

　　— No. He is on holiday.

　　A. Has; worked B. Does; work

　　C. Did; work D. Is; working

　　选D。根据答句He is on holiday.说明动作处于正在进行状态，而不是完成性的、过去发生的或经常性的动作，故排除选项A、B、C，选用现在进行时。

　　20. —Got your driving license?

　　—No. I _____ too busy to have enough practice, so I didn’t take the driving test last week.

　　A. was B. am C. have been D. had been

　　选D。问句中Got your driving license?为Have you got your driving license？现在完成时的省略表达，该句对选项无影响。决定选项动词时态的是答句中so I didn’t take the driving test last week.分析句意可知，选项动作发生在后一动作之前，表示过去的过去，故应用过去完成时。
