错选D，因为前面有复数名词pleasures，其实a cool drink是单数，指一件事，故正确选项是C。） 2. —You haven’t been to Beijing, have you? —_____. How I wish to go there!
A. Yes, I have B. Yes, I haven’t C. No, I have D. No, I haven’t
(受题干问话惯性和汉语影响，同学们很容易错选B，其实在英语里无论肯定问句还是否定问句，回答都须根据事实回答，且简略回答要前后一致，故正确选项是D。） 3. —Don’t forget to come to my birthday party tomorrow． —_____ ．
A．I don’t B．I won’t C．I cann’t D．I haven’t
（因为前面有Don’t forget…，同学们受惯性影响在选答时会错选A，而正确 选项是B，―我不会的‖。) 干扰之四：利用形近义词
把相似、相近的词语或结构放在一起作为干扰选项，使基础知识掌握不牢的考生难于区分。 例如：
1. The films made by Disney ______ all over the world.
A．are used to show B．are used to showing C．used to be shown D．used to show （used to do… be used to do… be used to doing… 历来是考生容易混淆的短语，此题应选C。） 干扰之五：巧设语言环境
命题人在题干中不是很明确地将语言时间或空间背景标示出来，而是比较巧妙地隐含在句子中，稍不注意就会错选。例如：
The price＿＿, but I doubt whether it will remain so.
A. went down B. will go down C. has gone down D. was going down
(I doubt whether it will remain so就是很巧妙的语境，说明情况已发生变化，但不知会不会持续下去，故答案是：C 。) 在我们大体上了解了单项填空干扰项设计之后，让我们再来看看如何解题：
◇◇单项填空解题技巧
1. 注意分析句子结构，确定选择方向
一个句子所使用的标点符号、有无连词，往往起着决定性的作用；而插入语、省略语等，在一定程度上干扰考生的思维。请比较以下各题：
1．George Orwell, _______ was Eric Arthur, wrote many political novels and essays. A. the real name
B. what his real name C. his real name D. whose real name
（根据题干中的逗号，但无连词的特点，排除A、C项。再根据定语从句的结构选D。） 2．___________some of this juice—perhaps you’ll like it. A. Trying B. Try C. To try D. Have tried
（根据题中所给信息，可以断定这里的破折号用于解释说明。去掉破折号后面的附加信息，可以看出是个祈使句。故选B。）
3．The largest collection ever found in England was one of about 200,000 silver pennies, all of ____ over 600 years old.
11
A. them B. which C. it D. that
（考生很有可能选B，但仔细分析这个句子，我们不难发现，主句与后面的内容用逗号隔开，而逗号后又不是个完整的句子，不能构成定语从句，只能通过同位语的方式完成句子，所以答案为A。） 2．认真分析语境，准确理解和把握信息
在单项填空中，一些词或词组常常含有某个特定的信息，而这些信息往往对分析问题、解决问题起着暗示作用。 例如：
1. —You haven’t lost the ticket, have you?
—______. I know it’s not easy to get another one at the moment. A．I hope not B. Yes, I have C. I hope so D. Yes, I’m afraid so （根据答语的第二句―目前弄到一张票很不容易‖的信息提示。故选A。）
2．Everyone was on time for the meeting _______ Chris, who’s usually ten minutes late for everything. A. but B. only C. even D. yet
（Everyone是本句的信息词，说明 Chris 也准时参加会议。故选C。） 3. 正确理解句意，避免定势思维
在学习过程中，尤其是复习阶段，教师往往就一些常见的、重要的词、词组及句型加以反复强调，以加深学生的印象，学生因此而可能形成思维的定势。
例如：
1．We’re going to ______ with some friends for a picnic. Would you like to join us? A. get in B. get over C. get along D. get together
（考生很可能选择C项，get along with sb.―与…相处‖。但根据句意，此处应为―欢聚‖之意。故选D。） 2．—I can’t find Mr. Smith. Where did you meet him this morning? —It was in the hotel ______ he stayed. A. where B. which C. the one
D. that
（此题最大的干扰项是D，考生很可能把它看作强调结构。但根据句意，它要表达的是―在他呆的宾馆里找到他的‖。所以，实际上是在stayed后省略了that I found him，即全句可完整地表达为It was in the hotel where he stayed that I found him。故选A。）
4．排除母语干扰，规范英语表达
英汉两种语言在表达上存在很大的差异，考生很可能会用汉语的思维方式去认识和解决英语中的问题，掉入命题人设置的陷阱
例如：
—Were all the three people in the car injured in the accident? —No, ______ only the two passengers who got hurt. A. it was B. there was C. there were
D. there had
（考生很可能误选C。因为，考生想表达―不，只有两个人受伤‖，很可能用―There be…‖结构表达自己的思想。但是，本句实际采用了强调结构，强调―only the two passengers‖故选A。） _______, tears came to his eyes.
12
A. Reading the letter B. He was reading the letter
C. When he was reading the letter D. The letter was being read
（句意要表达的是―读着这封信，眼泪都出来了‖，每一个选项都有可能成为考生的选择对象。根据解题技巧1，排除选项B、D。又根据分词的结构特点，排除A项，故选C。） 5．巧用逻辑情理法
单项填空象完型填空一样也要以句意通顺、符合逻辑、符合情理为主要选答依据，切勿在未弄清句意的情况下就因为某些固定搭配而上当误选。 例如：
I’m sorry I can’t help _____ the floor of the classroom. A. sweeping B. swept C. to sweep D. to sweeping
(can’t help doing 是一个固定搭配，意为―禁不住做…‖,同学们很可能因此选A。但是can’t help (to) do也是可以的，意为―不能帮助做… ‖, 根据句子的意思，此题应选C。) 6．牢记固定短语及句型还原法
在某些复合句中，被修饰的先行词与定语从句中动词可构成固定短语。 例如；
That was ＿＿＿＿we had in London 3 years ago!
A．wonderful time B．a wonderful time C． wonderful D．wonderfully
（此句可还原为：We had a wonderful time in London 3 years ago．可看出该复合句中有一固定搭配had a wonderful time（玩得愉快），定语从句中省略了关系代词that。故答案为B。） I am sorry for the trouble that I have put you ＿ the problem. A. to solve B. of solving C. to of solving D. to have solved
（本题容易误选A。其实，只要能看出复合句中put sb. to the trouble of doing sth.，就可得出答案C。） 7．注意日常交际用语的掌握与应用
高考题目中经常会出现日常交际用语方面的考查内容。做这类题目要特别注意的是中西方文化的差异，特定的语言环境以及习惯用法。以下应该注意的问题
（1）问是否介意及回答，of course/ certainly not; Not at all; I’m afraid you’d better not; I’m afraid you can’t; I’d rather you didn’t actually
（2）介绍及回答, This is …; I’m glad/ pleased to meet/ see you; Glad/ Nice to meet you （3）表扬及回答, Thank you/ Thanks; It’s very kind of you to say so; I’m glad you enjoy it. （4）道歉及回答, Never mind; That’s all right.
（5）求助及回答, I’d love/ like to; With pleasure; Help yourself, please; Go ahead, please; I’d like to, but I’m busy now. （6）主动帮助及回答, It’s all right. Thanks; That’s very nice of you; No, thank you all the same/ just the same. （7）成功表达及回答, I’m glad to hear that; Congratulations. 例如：
—Hi, haven’t seen you for ages. You look fine. —__________. You look well, too.?
A. Great B. Thanks C. Oh, no D. Not at all
在英语中，当听到赞扬时用来回谢对方的常用Thanks或Thank you，不能按照中国人的习惯为了表示谦虚等说―不‖―没
13
什么‖一类的话。因此，正确答案是B。 －I’d like to take a week’s holiday. －_____, we’re too busy.
A. Don’t worry B. Don’t mention it C. Forget it D. Pardon me —Can I look at the menu for a few more minutes before I decide?
—Of course. _______ sir.
A. Make yourself at home B. Enjoy yourself C. It doesn't matter D. Take your time — I had a really good weekend at my uncle’s. —_____________.
A. Oh, that’s very nice of you B. Congratulations
C. Really D. Oh, I am glad to hear that
总之，高考单项填空题虽说只有15个小题，但是考查内容涉及面广，并突出了综合性和语境化的特点。解题时，应结合语境，灵活使用语法、词汇知识，透过现象看本质，排除干扰项，从而达到分析问题和解决问题的最终目的。
