22. “_________ do you think of your English teacher?” “Oh, he is an _________ man.”

A. What, interesting                               B. What, interested C. How, interesting  D. How, interested

【分析】此题很容易误选D,认为第一空应填 how,表示“如何”;第二空应填 interested,因为有的书上说 –ing 形容词主要说明事物,-ed 形容词主要说明人。但正确答案应是A,理由如下:

(1) 英语中表示汉语中的“你觉得……如何?”时,有以下两类表达:

How do you like...? 你觉得……怎么样?

What do you think of...? 你觉得……怎么样?

这两类句型含义大致相同,但搭配不同,即 like 与 how 搭配,think of 与 what 搭配。

(2) 的确有的书认为:-ing形容词说明事,-ed形容词说明人。此说法在很多情况下是可行的,但表述欠准确。准确的表述应该是:表示使(别)人感到如何, 用-ing形容词;表示人自己本身感到如何,用-ed形容词。比较(www.hxen.net):

He is interested. 他很感兴趣。

He is interesting. 他很有趣。

He is an interesting man. 他是个有趣的人。

I read an interested expression on his face. 我看到他脸上露出一种感兴趣的表情。

I read an interesting expression on his face. 我看到他脸上露出一种有趣的表情。

再比较:

He is frightened. 他很害怕。

He is frightening. 他很吓人。

He has a frightened look on his face. 他脸上带有惊恐的神情。

He has a frightening look on his face. 他脸上带有吓人的神情。

 

23. “Is he a man with good manners?” “No, he is _________ but polite.”

A. anything              B. anyone                C. anybody               D. anywhere

【分析】此题容易误选B或C,因为句子主语指人,只有B、C才与之一致。其实,正确答案应选A。因为 anything but 是习语,意为“根本不是”或“一点也不”,不仅可用于事物,也可用于人。如:

That old bridge is anything but safe. 那座桥一点也不安全。

My income is anything but large.  我的收入绝对不算多。

The fight is anything but finished. 战斗绝没有结束。

Her father was anything but a poet. 她父亲根本不是诗人。

Such a man was anything but a hero. 那样的人绝不算英雄。
