09高考英语专项复习：单项选择题及详解

　　1.On yesterday interview, he didn’t make a　　at all; what’s the matter with him?

　　A. apology B. appearance

　　C. difference D. change

　　选B。 make an apology“道歉”；make in an appearance“露面，在场”；make a difference“有变化，有作为”；make a change “有所改动”。题意为“昨天的面试，他根本没露面”。

　　2. —How much farther shall we have to go?

　　—Another five miles until we reach the mountain

　　______ .

　　A. at a distance B. in a distance

　　C. at distance D. in the distance

　　选D。考查词组。无B、C结构，at a distance “从某一距离，在某一距离”；in the distance“在远处”。

　　3. The discovery of new evidence led to______.

　　A. the thief having caught

　　B. catch the thief

　　C. the thief being caught

　　D. the thief to be caught

　　选C。这句话的意思是：新证据的发现使得小偷束手就擒。to是介词，后面接了动名词的复合结构，the thief是动名词的逻辑主语。

　　4. Smallpox, a kind of disease, has now died______.

　　A. out B. away

　　C. off D. down

　　选A。die out “灭绝，消失”。die away“渐息”；die down“平息”；die off “(花、草)枯死”。

　　5. — Why were you not at the concert last night?

　　— I ______ a close game between Seattle Sonnies and Miami Bucks.

　　A. watched B. was watching

　　C. have watched D. had watched

　　选B。本题考查时态。过去进行时表示过去某段时间正在进行的动作。

　　6. —No wonder you caught a cold. You______out last night without a coat.

　　—I know how silly I was.

　　A. shouldn’t have gone

　　B. mustn’t have gone

　　C. couldn’t have gone

　　D. mightn’t have gone

　　选A。本题考查“情态动词＋have done ”结构的用。mustn’t have gone 是错误的表达，couldn’t have gone 和mightn’t have gone 虽然也有“本不应该做却做了”含义，但其语气远shouldn’t have gone 弱，且它们主要用来表示对过去是否发生某一行为进行推测。

　　7.______you don’t like him is none of my business.

　　A. What B. Who C. That D. Whether

　　选C。本句的谓语动词是is，前面是一个主语从句； “you don’t like him”是一个意思完整的句子，从句不需要任何有词义的连词引导，that只起连接作用，无词义，所以选C。

　　8. As______rule, apples are sold by weight and eggs by dozen.

　　A. a; 不填；the B. a; the; the

　　C. a; a; the D. the; 不填；不填

　　选A。as a rule(通常地)是固定词组；在度量名词前，表示付工资、卖、租等方式时，用the, 如paid by the hour (day, moth, piece…), sold by the yard (dozen, ton…)，比较by weight (按重量)。

　　9. I was so familiar with her that I recognized her voice______I picked up the phone.

　　A. the moment B. after

　　C. before D. while

　　选A。名词短语the moment用作连词，相当于as soon as，引导时间状语从句，意为“一……就”。类似用法的短语或词还有the minute, the instance, directly, immediately等。

　　11. I don’t have a job. I would find one but I no time.

　　A. had B. didn’t have

　　C. had had D. have

　　选D。解此类题时，必须从题干中的暗示入手。I don’t have a job 告诉我们现在的状况，再由I would find one 可知是对现在的虚拟，因此，but后的句子应该是现在的事实。故用一般现在时。

　　12. In the power plant more than of the workers are out strike.

　　选A。twelve 的序数词形式为twelfth；分数表达法中的分子大于1时，分母用复数，on strike = 在罢工。

　　13. The traveler didn’t know ______which direction to go.

　　A. in B. at C. to D. /

　　选A。表示“朝……方向去”，用介词in 而不用to。

　　14. The pen I I is on my desk, right under my nose.

　　A. think; lost B. thought; had lost

　　C. think; had lost D. thought; have lost

　　选B。句意为：我以为已丢了的钢笔却在我的桌子上，就在眼皮底下。thought 是过去时，“笔丢失了”是在“thought”之前，所以用过去完成时。

　　15. The customer didn’t choose______of the coats and went away without looking at a third one.

　　A. both B. all

　　C. any D. either

　　选D。not与both, all 连用为部分否定，与any either 连用为完全否定。且两个coats 不可用all，故据题意，应用完全否定。

　　16. Mr Smith, of the speech, started to read a novel.

　　A. tired; boring B. tiring; bored

　　C. tired; bored D. tiring; boring

　　选A。tired of…是过去分词短语作状语，boring 是现在分词作定语。

　　17. ---Is anything _____?

　　---I can’t decide which dress I should wear at my friend’s wedding party.

　　---I don’t think it ____.

　　A. the matter; the matter B. matter; matters

　　C. the matter; matters D. matter; the matter

　　选C。 当matter作表语时前应有冠词； “ don’t think it matters” 意为“我认为那不重要”。

　　18. Playing football and watching TV _____ both interesting.

　　A. were B. was C. are D. is

　　选C 。不定式短语或动词短语作主语时，谓语动词应用单数，然而此题中and 连接了两个动名词短语， 因此谓语动词要用单数，故答案为C.

　　19. It must be he that has stolen Mr. Smith’s purse, _____?

　　A. hasn’t he B. isn’t he

　　C. mustn’t it D. isn’t it

　　选D。强调句型的反意疑问句，现在或将来用isn’t it?过去用wasn’t it?

　　20. In which play is _____ your brother appear?

　　A. that where B. this when C. it that D. it where

　　选C 。It is … that是用强调句中,被强调部分是in which play。
