高考英语单选题解题方法

1. 找准关键词语

有时题干中带有对解题起着关键作用的词语,如果能迅速找准这些词语,再结合各选项的意义和特点,就能很快选出正确答案。例如:

The Foreign Minister said, "_______ our hope that the two sideswill work towards peace."

A. This is B. There is C. That is D. It is

解析:

在名词性从句中,that既无词义,也不作句子成分,连接一个句子成分完整的陈述句。根据句意和句子结构,特别是that的暗示,可判断题干为一个含有主语从句的复合句,句首的it为形式主语,真正的主语为其后的that从句,故最佳答案为D。

2. 分析句子结构

有些试题的考点本来十分简单,但命题者却通过使用定语从句,或者将我们熟悉的固定词组有意拆分,重新组合,使我们在结构上产生错觉,出现迷惑。这时,我们只要保持清醒的头脑,仔细分析句子的结构,就会拨开迷雾。例如:

We keep in touch _____ writing often。

A. with B. of C. on D. by

解析:

许多同学根据 keep in touch with(与....。.保持联系)这一搭配推断出此题应选A。但是选A错了,因为套此搭配此句意思不通,正确答案应是D,by 表示方式,bywriting 意为"通过写信",全句意为"我们通过经常写信保持联系"。

3. 适当转换句式

有时将题干的句式转换成自己更熟悉的句式,就很容易选出正确答案。比如将疑问句、强调句、感叹句或倒装句改为陈述句,将被动句改为主动句,无序句调整为正常句。例如:

-Mr. Wang, whom would you rather _____ the important meeting?

-Tom。

A. have attend B. have attended

C. having attend D. have to attend

解析:

若将疑问句改为陈述句,就是I would rather have Tom attend the important meeting. 其中would rather后必须接动词原形,have sb. dosth。是"要某人做某事"。所以选A。

4. 补全省略成分

口语中常常会使用一些省略句,做题时若将被省略的成分补充完整,答案就会一目了然。例如:

-What do you think made Mary so upset?

- _____ her new bike。

A. As she lost B. Lost C. Losing D. Because of losing

解析:

将答句补全,就是 _____ her new bike made Mary soupset,显然,只能选C,用动名词短语作主语。
