09高考英語專項復習：單項選擇題及詳解<3>(2)

　　11. —      do you like the film tonight?

　　—Better than       .

　　A. How; expected      B. What; expected

　　C. How; to expect      D. What; to expected

　　選A。How do you like sth. 認為某事如何； than expected 為than it is expected的省略式，意為“比預期的……”。

　　12. Let’s keep to the point, or we     any decisions.

　　A. will never reach    B. have never reached

　　C. never reach       D. never reached

　　選A。前一個分句是祈使句，后一個分句的謂語動詞要用一般將來時，表示將要發生的事情。

　　13. If you stand here, you’ll get a better      of the river.

　　A. sight    B. view   C. scene   D. scenery

　　選B。意思是“假如你站在這里，會對河流看得更清楚”。view在此處意為“視野”。

　　14. He is taller than he        .

　　A. used        B. used to be

　　C. used to      D. used to do

　　選B。學生在做該題時，極易選擇C，原因是為了避免重復已經出現的動詞，以不定式to來代替整個不定式結構，而正確的答案是B。如果在省略的動詞不定式結構中含有be, have或have been，通常保留be, have been。又如：

　　—Are you o holidays?   —你在度假嗎？

　　—No, but I’d like to be. —不是，但我倒愿意。

　　15. The news       is spreading around the airport is        a heavy storm is coming.

　　A. what; /       B. that; that

　　C. /; that        D. that; which

　　選B。本題主要考查從句中連接詞語的用法。同位語從句及表語從句中的連接詞that雖然沒有任何意思，也不充當任何成分，但一般不能省略，因此本題答案選B。

　　16. Our teacher is always busy preparing lessons until 11 o’clock at night,        we students have gone to sleep.

　　A. that time       B. by which time

　　C. by that time     D. which time

　　選B。句意為“我們的老師總是忙著備課到晚上11點鐘，那時我們已經睡了”。by意為“到……時(為止)”，which time 指代 “11 o’clock at night’。

　　17. I think whoever makes      contributions to the company than the others should get      income.

　　A. greater; a highest

　　B. more greater; a higher

　　C. greater; the highest

　　D. more greater; the higher

　　選C。more 不可修飾比較級，排除B和D。greater … than the others 是最高級意義，后面也用最高級，且最高前要用定冠詞the。

　　18. It is thought that one billion people I the world,  _    is half the word’s workers, earn their living by farming.

　　A. if    B. that    C. which   D. what

　　選B。句中“half the world’s workers”是對“one billion people in the world” 的補充說明， “that is”是 “that is to say”的省略說法，是插入語，that 并不是引導非限制性定語從句的，如果在 “that is”后加個逗號則更清楚，應選B。

　　19.Hawking became world-famous in _______.

　　A.his thirties in the 1970’s

　　B.the thirties in his 1970

　　C.his 30s in 1970’s

　　D.the thirties during the 1970

　　選A。in one’s thirties 在某人三十多歲時，in/during the 1970s意思是“在二十世紀七十年代”。

　　20.---You should have thanked her before you left.

　　---I meant _______. But when I was leaving I couldn’t find her anywhere.

　　A. to do  B. to  C. doing  D. doing so

　　選B。本句中的meant意思是“本來打算”應該使用不定式。當與want, wish, hope, like, hate, try, have, ought, used, need, be able, be going, be glad, mean等連用時， to代替不定式結構以避免重復。
