名师详解语法易错题(02)
24. “Is John coming by train?” “He should, but he _________ not. He likes driving his car.”
A. must B. can C. need D. may
【分析】此题最佳答案为D,这是由上下文的语境决定的。句中的 He should 为 He should come by train 之省略,但紧接着跟了一个转折连词 but,说明语意有变化,再结合下文的 He likes driving his car,便可决定此题选D,may not 意为“可能不(会坐火车来)”。
25. “I heard they went skiing in the mountains last winter.” “It _________ true because there was little snow there.”
A. may not be B. won’t be C. couldn’t be D. mustn’t be
【分析】此题最佳答案为C,主要由下文的 because there was little snow there 这一语境所决定,既然“没下什么雪”,那么“滑雪”就应是“不可能”,所以选 couldn’t be,即选C。
26. You can get there by plane or by boat, but in _________ case it’s very expensive.
A. which B. this C. any D. either
【分析】此题应选D,其余三项均有可能误选。首先不能选A,因为句中有并列连词 but,况且前面一句有 by plane 和 by boat 两种选择,这与 which 所表示的确定含义也不相符;B也不能选择,因为 this 也是表示“确定”含义的,它与前面的 by plane or by boat 这种不确定性也不相符;选项C也不行,因为 any 是表示三者或三者以上的情形的,而 by plane or by boat 只有两种选择。答案选D,either 表示“两者中任意之一”。
27.These trousers are wet — I’ll change into my _________.
A. another B. trousers C. others D. other
【分析】此题容易误选A或B。有的同学认为,既然这条裤子湿了,那么我就换另外一条,所以用 another,但是这些同学忽略了 another 后通常接单数名词,而 trousers 是个复数名词,所以不行;选 trousers 也不行,同学们只要把它填入空格处翻译一下就知道,填 trousers 句子意思不通。正确答案应选C,others 等于 other trousers,其中的 other 是与前面的 these 相对照的,即“这条”裤子湿了,我就换“其他”的裤子。
28. Her lecture was hard to follow because she kept jumping from one subject to _________.
A. other B. the other C. the others D. another
【分析】此题容易死套搭配 one … the other…而误选B,其实最佳答案为D。使用one…the other … 时,我们通常是针对两者而言的,即指“两者中的一个……,另一个……”;如果所谈论的情况不是针对两者而言的,而是针对多者而言的,那么我们就不宜在 one 后使用 the other,而考虑用 another。又如(答案均选D,即选 another):
(1) Those cakes are wonderful. Could I have _________ one?
A. other B. the other C. the others D. another
(2) I have many such novels. I’ll bring _________ tomorrow.
A. other B. the other C. the others D. another
(3) Saying is one thing and doing is _________.
A. other B. the other C. the others D. another
