单项选择破解技巧大解读

英语听力虽然是高考的第一项题型，但实际上普遍拉分不大。鉴于此，单项选择可以说是打响英语考试的“第一枪”，那么如何快速准确地答题呢？如何打响“开门红”第一战？今天，石安老师带着大家一起战斗！

一、利用语境解题

近年来无论是高考试题还是平常单选题，不再是考查语言规则的死记硬背，而是注重考查语言知识的具体运用，即将语言知识置于一定的语境中，要求考生在实际语言环境中选择一个最佳的、最得体的选项。如：

I thought they’d be late for the concert, ——— they ended up getting there ahead of time.

A. but B. or C. so D. for

【分析】A项的but意为“但是”,表转折；B项的or意为“或者，否则”，表选择或结果；C项的so意为“因此”，表结果；D项的for，意为“因为”，表原因。句子的意思是：我原以为我们听音乐会会迟到的，（可是）我们却提前到了。根据句子上下文的语境可知，空格处应填一个表转折关系的连词，故答案选择A.

二、利用隐藏信息解题

做单项选择题，只具备语言知识是不够的，有时还要借助于生活常识、科普知识等辅助条件才能作出正确的选择。如果隐含条件挖掘不到位，就会产生错误的结果。所以，仅读出句子的表面意义是不够的，有时还需“读”出它的言下之意，弦外之音。如：

To save some of the human languages before they are forgotten,the students in our school started a discussion “Save Our ——— ”.

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

【分析】本题句意为：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。其中的隐含信息为To save some of the human languages,据此可判断引号内的内容为Save Our Voices.voice意为“声音”，因为语言与声音密不可分，故答案选D.

三、利用句子意群解题

意群是一个句子内完整意思的组成单位。考生做题时需要理解一个个意群并能正确划句

子成分，才能做出正确的判断。如：

Occasions are quite rare ——— I have the time to spend a day with my kids.

A. who B. which C. why D. when

【分析】本题句意为：我很少有时间与孩子们在一起呆一天。此题是对定语从句的考查，先行词occasions与后面的定语从句被are quite rare分隔开了，考生需要判断意群I have the time to spend a day with my kids是occasions的修饰成分，同时结合对定语从句的分析，先行词occasions指时间，故定语从句中关系词用作状语，所以选when.

四、利用还原法解题

有一些单项选择题的测试点本来十分简单，但命题者故意把题干变复杂，将一个同学们熟悉的结构巧妙地改写为一个大家不熟悉的结构，以增加试题的难度和灵活性。对于这类题，同学们可以反其道而行之，即把题干还原成自己熟悉的结构，这样题目就会变得简单，答案就会一目了然。如：

It was in the Mississippi River ——— Mark Twain spent much of his childhood.

A. how B. which C. that D. where

【分析】本题考查强调句的运用。考生可以把It was和that去掉，将其还原为陈述句。此句的意思是：马克·吐温在密西西比河度过了他童年的许多时光。所以答案选C.

五、通过删减法解题

有时一个句子很长，考生一看就头晕，此时，只需抓住主句，把句子的冗余信息排除，问题就迎刃而解了。如：

1. ——— was most important to her, she told me, was her family.

A. It B. This C. What D.As

【分析】题中的she told me为插入语，如果将其去掉，则可以看出was most important to her是主语从句，且该主语从句缺少主语，所以答案应该选what。全句意为：她告诉我，对她来说最重要的是她的家庭。

2.Let’s learn to use the problem we are facing ——— a steping stone to future success.

A. to B. for C. as D. by

【分析】本句意为：我们要学会利用目前的问题作为未来成功之门的钥匙。句中的we are facing为附加信息，如果将其去掉，则可以看出此处考查的是use...as这一搭配，其意为“把···用作”，故答案选择C.

六、通过增补法解题

省略是增加高考难度的常用方法，命题人往往省略句中的一些成分以增加试题的难度。考生在做这

类题时，一定要弄清题意，认真分析句子结构，然后将句中省略部分补充完整。如：

—Who shoud be responsible for the accident?

—The boss, not the workers.They just carried out the orders ——— .

A. as told B. as are told C. as telling D. as they told

七、利用关键词解题

有时试题会给出一些提示信息，以暗示考生题目的考查点。做这类题目时，考生应充分利用这些关键信息，找到解题的突破口。如：

1.——— the website of the Fire Department in your city, and you will learn a lot about firefighting.

A. Having searched B. To search C. Searching D.Search

2. I haven’t seen my English teacher for ——— long that I’ve forgotten what she looks like.

A. such B. very C. so D. too

八、利用标点符号解题

标点符号是句子的重要组成部分，对于理解句子起着非常重要的作用，同学们做题时若能充分注意到这一点，有时会带来意想不到的效果。如：

Yoube hungry already ——— you had lunch only two hours ago!

A. wouldn’t B. can’t C. mustn’t D. needn’t

备战策略

单项选择并不难，分析题干是关键

复杂句子需简化，疑问句式要还原

思维定势误导人，陷阱往往藏里面

要想单选得高分，多记基础知识点

趁热打铁
