英语单项选择之经典真题演练

例题1.
　Ann is so careful that she always goes over her exercises to ______there are no mistakes.
　A. look for B. make sure C. find out D. think about

【解析】make sure是固定词组，意思是“确信”，她检查自己作业的目的是确信不犯错误。

例题2.
　--- Which of the two English dictionaries will you buy ?
--- I’ll buy ______ of them, so I can give one to my friend, Hellen.

　A. either B. neither C. all D. both

【解析】选D。从so 引导的结果状语从句可判断一个字典给自己，另一个给朋友Hellen, 因此可知买两本英语字典，其中both表示“两者都”。

　例题3.
　He ______ two thousand trees since 1985.
　A. plants B. planted C. will plant D. has planted

　【解析】since意为自从……以来，应与现在完成式连用，故选D。

例题4.
______ you free last night?
A. Were B. Was C. Are D. Do
　【解析】last night应于过去式连用。因为它表示具体的过去时间。又因主语为you，故选A。

　例题5.
词语解释
(1)I’m so glad to see you.

　A. sad B. angry C. pleased

【解析】glad意为高兴的选项中只有pleased有此意，故选C。

　(2)An elephant is a large animal.

A. big B. tall C. heavy

　【解析】large意为大的，只有选项A与其意相近，故选A。

　(3)This shop sells a lot of things.

A. little B. many C. some

【解析】a lot of的意思是许多的，只有选项B与其相同，故选B。

　这3道题的目的为选意义相同或相近的词，这就要求同学们在学习英语的过程中注意这类词的相互联系。学习生词时力求用过去学的词或短语来解释。
　例题6.
In the bookshop, a reader asked the shopkeeper Who Moved My Cheese was an interesting book.
　A. that B. how C. what D. if
　【解析】选D，if引导一个宾语从句，表示是否，Who Moved My Cheese(谁动了我的奶酪？)是一本书的名称。

　　例题7.
　comes from cows.

　A. Wool B. Chicken C. Pork D. Milk

　【解析】sows为奶牛，选项中只有milk(牛奶)来自奶牛，故选D。
　例题8.
Which of the following does paper burn in?

A. CO2 B. N2 C. O2 D. He

【解析】由初中化学知识可知，只有O2能助燃，所以纸只能在它当中能燃烧，故选C。

　例题9.

　Today, the forests have almost gone. People must down too many trees.

　A. stop to cut B. stop from cutting

　C. be stopped to cut D. be stopped from cutting

【解析】选D。本题考查被动语态的用法。最具迷惑性的选项是A，不少同学们只记得stop之后可接动词不定式，殊不知这时不定式作目的状语，因此，我们应透过现象看本质，排除A；那么，本题的真正意义是什么呢？“当今，森林几乎没了，必须要阻止人们砍伐太多的树木。”这样，我们不难已起stop sb. from doing sth. 这个习语，本题使用的是被动形式。

　例题10.

　--- You must come back every month.

--- Yes, I .

A. will B. must C. should D. can


【解析】选A。本题考查情态动词的用法。选项B有较大的干扰性，不少同学们仅从对话上文的must支猜测、推断，却不知这种回答显得呆板、没有交际意义；与must相比，I will表示一种意愿色彩，更适合作为上文的答语
