高考名词考点的6类答题陷阱

2016-07-03来源:和谐英语
四、忽略隐含信息

有些考题的答题信息比较隐蔽,初看一眼很难发现,有时给考生一种无从下笔之感,此时需要大家分析句子的上下文,从中挖掘出隐含信息。如:

1. —Shall we go out for a walk? (江西卷)

—Sorry. This is not the right ______ to invite me. I am too tired to walk.

A. moment       B. situation       C. place  D. chance

答案为A。问句的意思是:我们出去散散步好吗?虽然句中没有指明具体的时间,但根据问句的语境可推知,它暗示的应该是“现在”。所以,答语中的this一词指的应该是时间,而不是地点、机会或情况等。故答案选A。

2. Of the seven days in a week, Saturday is said to be the most popular __________ for a wedding in some countries. (浙江卷)

A. way    B. situation  C. event       D. choice

答案为D。在哪一天举行婚礼最好?是星期一?还是星期二?或是星期三?说话者认为“星期六”是最受欢迎的。显然,说话者是在一周七天中选择了星期六,故用choice。

五、忽略逻辑信息

有的考题的选项设置与题干上下文的逻辑联系有关,考生在做题时应充分考虑到这种逻辑关系,使所选答案不仅符合语法,同时也符合逻辑。如:

1. To save some of the human languages before they are forgotten, the students in our school started a discussion “Save Our ______” (安徽卷)

A. Sky    B. Life  C. Arts   D. voices

答案为D。句子的大意是:为了拯救一些即将被遗忘的人类语言,我校学生举行了一场“拯救我们的_____”的讨论。比较四个选项,只有voices最合适,因为从逻辑上看,语言(language)与声音(voice)联系最紧密。

2. Put the ______ of your tongue against your upper teeth when you produce the sound. (上海卷)

A. tip             B. top             C. peak          D. pole

答案为A。本句的意思是告诉我们如何正确地发音。从逻辑(或常识)上看,我们只能把“舌尖”(the tip of one’s tongue)抵住上齿龈,而不太可能把舌子的top(顶部)、peak(最高点)、pole(杆)等抵住上齿龈。

六、忽略搭配信息

综观所有的名词考题,有相当一部分都是在考查特定句式或短语中对特定名词的习惯搭配,同学们在复习时应引起注意和重视。如:

1. What’s the ______ of having a public open space where you can’t eat, drink or even simply hang out for a while? (福建卷)

A. sense  B. matter     C. case D. opinion

答案为A。What’s the sense of…是英语中的惯用句式,其意为“……有什么意义”。又如:

What’s the sense of doing that? 为什么要做那件事呢?

How long must this go on? What’s the sense of this? 这种局势要持续多久呢? 它有什么意义呢?

2. Dogs have a very good ______ of smell and are often used to search for survivors in an earthquake. (浙江卷)

A. sense  B. view       C. means     D. idea

答案为A。sense of smell为固定搭配,其意为“嗅觉”,又如:

The animal’s good sense of smell compensates for its poor eyesight. 这动物嗅觉灵敏弥补了视力之不足。

3. I can’t say which wine is best—it’s a(n) _______ of personal taste. (山东卷)

A. affair B. event      C. matter    D. variety

答案为C。it’s a matter of…为英语惯用表达,其意为“是一个……问题”。又如:

Of course this must have priority—it’s a matter of life and death. 当然这一点必须优先考虑——这是成败的关键。

4. Despite such a big difference in _______ towards what one eats, there is no doubt that people in the west regard the Chinese food as something special. (湖北卷)

A. point   B. idea  C. attitude       D. sight

答案为C。因为四个选项中只有attitude后可以接介词towards。又如:

There was a certain coldness in her attitude towards me. 她对我的态度有点儿冷淡。
