英语陷阱题4例之三
析:if和whether都可以表示“是否”,但if不能用于引导主语从句、表语从句和同位语从句,这时只能用whether。
11.误:The Anti-Japanese War was broken out in 1937.
正:The Anti-Japanese War broke out in 1937.
析:只有及物动词或作及物动词的动词短语才能变为被动语态。而arrive,become,die,lie,end,happen,take place等作不及物动词,均不可变为被动语态。
12.误:I will do all I can help you.
正:I will do all I can to help you.
析:do all one can+to do sth(尽某人所能去做某事)中的one can是定语从句修饰all,从句中省略了动词do,to do sth是不定式作目的状语。
1.—Tomorrow ____ my birthday. I’d like you and Jane to come.
— I’m not sure if she ____ free.
A. will be;is B. is going to;is
C. is;is D. is;will be
错解 选C,认为应该用一般现在时表示一般将来时。
分析 这里涉及一个概念问题。状语从句中,常用一般现在时表示一般将来时,如:If it rains tomorrow, I won’t go to the park. 但这并不适用于其他从句。比如宾语从句:I wonder when he will come here. 主语从句:That he will come is certain. 同位语从句:He expressed the wish that he would like to come again the next year.等等,上述从句都可以用将来时。本句中,if引导的是宾语从句,是可以用一般将来时的。正确答案为 D。
2.— Why does Linda know so much about Eiffel Tower?
— She ____ have been there,or...
A. must B. could C. can D. should
错解 选B,因为后面有or,表示“或者”,表明语气的不确定性。
分析 这里有个最关键的单词or,它如果是表示“或者”,则该句子没有理由省略后面的内容,这时,就要考虑到or还有另外一层含义“否则”,相当于:She must have been there, or she can’t know so much about it.她一定去过那儿,否则(她不可能了解得那么清楚)。省去上句问题中的重复部分。正确答案应为A。
3.— Have a good Women’s Day, mom.
—Thanks. What a nice girl? _______.
A. You’re welcome B. That’s all right
C. It’s kind of you to say so D. The same to you
错解 选C,认为她女儿还年轻,不能称之为woman,因此不能过Women’s Day? 所以选C而不选D。
分析 该题考查的是交际用语。A项和B项是针对对方说Thank you 或Thanks的答语。 C项与上文What a nice girl重复。D项 The same to you (也祝你节日快乐)比较恰当,而上句中的girl,不一定非译成“女孩”,可以理解成“女儿”,相当于daughter。正确答案为D。
4.— Hey, look where you’re going?
—Oh, ____.
A. I am not noticing B. that’s all right
C. I don’t mean to do it D. I’m terribly sorry
错解 选A,与上句时态一致。
分析 该题若选A,应表示短暂的过去进行概念,应为I was not noticing; B表示“不用谢”;C项语气不好,不礼貌,时态也不对,应改成:I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to do it.正确答案为D。
1.误:My brother,that you met in Bejing? has bought a new car.
正:My brother,whom you met in Bejing? has bought a new car.
析:非限定性定语从句不能用that引导。当先行词指物时,用which;当先行词指人,并在从句中作主语时,用who;在从句中作宾语时,用whom。
2.误:All what he said is true.
