四、数词: 表示数目多少或顺序多少的词叫数词,数词分为基数词和序数词。表示数目多少的数词叫基数词;表示顺序的数词叫序数词。
数词有基数词和序数词之分:基数词表示数量概念;序数词表示顺序概念。首先要注意一些数词在写法上的变化,如:forty;ninth;twentieth更要注意它们在句子中的不同用法和变化。
例题解析:
( ) About _____ students went to the picture show that day. A) hundreds of
B) two hundreds
C) two hundred of
D) two hundred
“about”意为“大约”,是指具体数量,因此,不能用表示不定数量的词语“hundreds of”(意为“成百个”)。在表示确定数量时,英语中的“hundred”不加“s”,即不变复数。再由于“students”前没有定冠词“the”,不是“其中”之意,因此,也不能加介词“of”。 所以本题答案应该选“D”。 ( ) _____ of _____ Class Four students have joined the singing group. A) Three-fifths, the B) Three-fifth, the
C) Three-fifths, /
D) Three-fifth, /
英语中,“几分之几”的表达方式是分子用基数词、分母用序数词,中间用短横“–”连接。当分子大于“一”时,分母序数词要加“s”。再由于本题句中数量用的是“of”词组,即意为“其中的五分之三”,因此后面的名词“students”必定是“确指”的,要加定冠词“the”。 所以本题答案应该选“A”。在这里要特别注意的是:不要看到“students”前有修饰词“Class Four”就不敢加定冠词“the”,要懂得这里的“the”是修饰“students”的。同样,“the English language”词语的表达形式也类似于此种情况。

五、介词:
介词是一种虚词,它不能单独使用,后面要跟名词、人称代词宾格或动名词。同一个动词,搭配不同的介词,可以衍变出各种不同含义的词组来,而且在不同场合所用介词也各不相同。因此,介词的用法是比较复杂的,要求我们去逐个记住。只有在看懂、理解整个句意的前提下,才能选对正确的介词。
例题解析:
( ) Mr. Brown flew to Washington _____ the night before last.
A) in
B) on
C) at
D) /
在表达某一天的具体时间时,应该用介词“on”。但是本句是表达“在前天的夜里”,与“在前天”(the day before yesterday)相仿,前面不该用任何介词,所以本题答案应该选“D”。 ( ) The school gate is ______ the north of the classroom building. A) in B) to
C) on
D) at
在英语中,表达“东、南、西、北”的方位介词常见有三个:表示在方位区域的内部时,用介词“in”。如:The playground is in the south of the school.(操场在学校的南面。)表示在与方位区域连壤的外部时,应该用介词“on”。如:Room 203 is on the west of Room 205.(203室在205室的西面。)表示在与方位区域不连壤的外部时,应该用介词“to”。如:Shanghai is to the east of Nanjing.(上海在南京的东面。)本题的“校门”在“教学大楼”的北面,应该用介词“to”,所以答案应该选“B”。
( ) You?ll get one thousand dollars _____. A) after all
B) at all
C) in all
D) all together
“after all”意为“到底”、“毕竟”、“终于”;“at all”通常与“not”连用,意为“完全不”、“一点也不”;“in all”通常用于数量词后面,意为“总共”,同义词是“altogether”。所以本题答案应该选“C”。 ( ) This bus can run _____ 70 miles an hour. A) for
B) with
C) at
D) in
在表示“速度”、“温度”、“价格”意思时,应该用介词“at”。所以本题答案应该选“C”。 ( ) It?s said he stayed there quietly _____ two o?clock that afternoon.
D) two hundred of
C) After two weeks D) For half a month
( ) 7. About _____ the students went to the Science Museum last Thursday.
B) two hundred C) two hundred of D) two hundreds
A) on B) at C) until
7
D) by
“at two o?clock that afternoon”意为“在昨天下午两点钟”,时态通常用“过去进行时”;“by two o?clock that afternoon”意为“在昨天下午两点钟前”, 时态通常用“过去完成时”;“until two o?clock that afternoon”意为“直到昨天下午两点钟”, 时态通常用“一般过去时”。本句中“stay”是延续动词,因此可用“until”句型;如果句中谓语是瞬间动词的话,就应该用“not …until”句型了。所以本题答案应该选“C”。
( ) Tom didn?t attend the lecture yesterday evening _____ his illness. A) as
B) for
C) because
D)because of
在本句中,“因为生病”是一个词语,而不是原因状语从句,因此,不能选连词“as”、“for”或“because”来连接,而要用介词词组“because of”。所以本题答案应该选“D”。 ( ) Now it?s quite important _____ us to make full use of time. A) for
B) to
C) of
D) with
“It?s important to sb.”( 意为“它对某人来说很重要”)是词语搭配,“It?s … for sb. to do …”(意为“做某事对某人来说是怎样的”)是句型。当两者交叉、重叠使用时,词语要让位于句型。所以本题答案应该选“A”。同样,“I like it so much that …”句型中用“so”、而不用“very”,也属于这种类型的表达方式。
( ) It?s nice _____ you to get the ticket _____ F1. It?s said the car-race is very exciting. A) of, for
B) for, for
C) of, of
D) for, of
这句是“It?s … of sb. to do”句型,意为“某人真是怎么样,做了某事”。后半句中“ticket for”是固定词语,意为“什么内容的票子”。 所以本题答案应该选“A”。

六.动词:
动词八种时态、语态和几种变化形式
八种时态 主动语态 被动语态 一般现在时 (经常,反复,爱好,特点,条件,真理) do; does am;is;are done 一般过去时 (过去发生的事,不强调现在的结果) did; -ed was;were done 一般将来时 (将要发生的事) will do will be done 现在进行时 (现在正在发生的事) am;is;are doing am;is;are being done 过去进行时 (当时正在发生的事) was;were doing was;were being done 现在完成时 (过去发生的事,强调现在的结果) have;has done have;has been done 过去完成时 (过去完成的事;过去以前发生的事) had done had been done 过去将来时 (过去将要发生的事) would do would be done 不定式: do; not do; to do; not to do 命令式: do; don't do 现在分词: doing 动名词: doing 过去分词: done 例题解析:
( ) Look. Mary _____ a nice dog. She _____ it just now.
B) was deserved to get the prize for D) was pleased for
9
A) has drawn, drew B) drew, has drawn C) is drawing, drew D) is drawing, has drawn
在“Look”、“It?s evening”、“Where is sb. …?”等句子后面,可能要用“现在进行时”,也有可能要用“现在完成时”。反正,要根据具体情况来具体分析,考虑问题一定要从整体情况着眼。本题后半句“just now”意为“刚才”,很明显要用“一般过去时”,因此前句如用“现在进行时”就不妥,造成句意逻辑上的错误。前句用“现在完成时”才对。所以本题答案应该选“A”。 ( ) This kind of fridge _____ very well.
A) sell B) sells C) are sold
D) is sold
在英语中,表达某物销路不错,要用表示“特点”的“一般现在时”形式,而不能用“被卖”这种被动语态形式来表示。由于本句主语“this kind of fridge”是单数第三人称,所以本题答案应该选“B”。
( ) What _____ Mr. Smith? He looks worried so much. A) happens with
B) happens to
C) happened with
D) happened to
在英语中,“发生”通常可译为“happened”或“took place”,要注意它不能变“被动语态”。本题之意是“史密斯先生发生了什么事?他显得很焦虑。”因此,“发生”不能用表示经常行为的“一般现在时”形式,应该用“一般过去时”的“happened to sb.”固定词组来表达。所以本题答案应该选“D”。
( ) Mary: Shall I tell Michael about the news?
Jack: No, you __________. He?s already known it. A) can?t B) mustn?t C) needn?t D) don?t 本题是考核情态动词句型的正确回答。在“Must I do …?”、“Shall I do …?”、“Would you like me to do …?”问句后面都可以用“No, you needn?t.”(不必要)来回答。本题根据后句的句意应该选此回答为妥。所以答案应该选“C”。在“May I …?”问句后面,通常有以下几种否定回答:1. No, you mustn?t. 2.No, you may not. 3. Sorry, you can?t. 4.I?m afraid you can?t. 5. No, you can?t. ( ) _____ clothes are usually _____ near a fire in winter. A) Washed, hung
B) Washed, hanged
C) Washing, hung
D) Washing, hanged
“washed”意为“被洗过的”,可以修饰“衣服”;“washing”意为“正在洗的”,它该修饰人、不该修饰“衣服”。后句意为“被挂在火炉旁”,该用过去分词“hung”才对。“hanged”也是“hang”的过去分词,但是它的意思是“被绞死”。所以本题答案应该选“A”。 ( ) The book _____ by me. I _____ it to a friend of mine. A) is written, sent C) was written, sent
B) is written, have sent D) was written, have sent
“书是被某人写的”、“书是在某地方被写的”都是表示发生在以前的动作,该用一般过去时被动语态。如过说“书是被用英语写的”,那就是指书的特点了,就该用一般现在时被动语态了。后半句意为“我把它寄给朋友了”是强调现在书不在我这里。不是强调过去寄的,不该用一般过去时,而该用现在完成时。这种类型的时态,学生最容易错,千万要注意。英语中有许多动作是以前发生的、但没有时间状语的句子都用“现在完成时”表达。所以本题答案应该选“D”。 ( ) Mr. Jackson _____ the city quite well since he _____ in the city for a couple of years. A) knows, was
B) has known, was
C) knows, has been
D) has known, has been
