6. I was excited at his idea _________ rid of the habit _________.

A. to get, to smoke  B. of getting, of smoking

C. to get, of smoking                               D. of getting, to smoke

【分析】此题容易误选A,许多同学认为 one’s idea to do sth, the habit to do sth 等结构读起来很顺口的,感觉也是对的。其实正确答案应是B。英语中有些名词(如time 时间,wish 想法, courage 勇气,decision 决定,ambition 雄心,等)后习惯上接不定式作定语,有些名词(如 idea 想法,habit 习惯,hope 希望, danger 危险,possibility 可能性,等)后习惯上接“of+动名词”作定语,而有些名词(如 way 方法,chance 机会,opportunity 机会,等)则两类结构均可接。如:

I have no wish to go. 我不想去。

I have no hope of going. 我没有去的希望。

This is the best way to do [of doing] it. 这是做此事最好的方法。

 

7. They insisted _________ a car over to fetch us.

A. to send                B. sending                C. on sending           D. in sending

很多同学想当然地认为 insist 后接动词时要用动名词,从而误选B。其实动词 insist 后既不能接不定式也不能接动名词,因为insist 通常用作不及物动词;若语义上需接宾语,要借助介词 on或upon,即用于 insist on [upon] (doing) sth;有时它也用作及物动词,但其宾语通常只能是 that 从句,而不能是普通的名词、代词或动名词。有的同学可能是根据 insist on doing sth 这一结构,想当然的认为 insist 后要接动名词,忽略了其间的介词 on。正确答案应选C。

 

8. When I entered she was reading _________ newspaper, with _________ in her eyes.

A. a, tear                 B. a piece of, tears   C. a, tears                D. a piece of, tear

【分析】此题容易误选D,想当然地认为news (消息)和 paper(纸)均为不可数名词,所以newspaper(报纸)也应是不可数名词;同时认为“眼泪”即“泪水”,“水”不可数,“泪水”和“眼泪”也应该不可数。但非常有趣,newspaper(报纸)和 tear(眼泪)却是两个可数名词,如可说 a newspaper, two newspapers, a tear, two tears 等。注:若不是将 newspaper 当作是供阅读或传递信息的一种东西,而只是把它当成一种“纸”来看待,也可用作不可数名词,如:Wrap it in (a sheet of) newspaper. 把它用张报纸包起来。

 

9. He _________ a visit to the factory and was warmly _________ by the workers there.

A. took, welcome  B. took, welcomed  C. paid, welcome       D. paid, welcomed

【分析】此题第一空应填动词 paid,因为 pay a visit to(拜访)是惯用搭配,其中的 pay 不能换成take。至于第二空,许多同学会模仿 come → came → come 的变化形式,想当然地认为 welcome的变化形式是 welcome → welcame → welcome,从而误选C。其实,此题应选D,welcome 用作动词时,其过去式和过去分词均为 welcomed,即它是规则动词。有的同学也许会问,我们不是常说 You are welcome. 吗? 为什么其中的 welcome 未用 welcomed 呢?那是因为此处的 welcome 为形容词,而不是动词。

 

10. “Was it under the tree _________ you were away talking to a friend?” “Sure. But when I got back there, the bike was gone.

A. that                     B. where                  C. which                  D. while

【分析】此题很容易误选A,认为这是强调句型。其实此题的最佳答案是D。做好此题的关键是正确理解句中 it 的用法和意思。从上下文的语境来看,句中的 it 应是代词,指代 the bike,句意为:“当你离开去同朋友谈话的时候,你的自行车是在这树下吗?”“肯定是的,但当我回来时,自行车就不见了。”
