NMET单项填空考点跟踪

NMET单项填空考点跟踪、解题技巧及相关练习
一、考点追踪与预测
NMET充分把握了英语考试改革的战略方向，从以往重点测试语言形式逐步向重点测试语言意义转化，绝大部分试题都涉及到对语言意义的领悟与判断。

通过设置情景，将知识的考查与语言意义的考查有机地相结合起来。

这就要求我们考生必须有扎实的语言基本功，然后在语言的实际运用过程中有选择地、有目的地使用已学的语言知识。

纵观近几年的高考英语试卷，很少有考题是专门为语法而设置的，而是充分体现了语法服务于意义，形式服务于内容的原则。

交际性、实用性、综合性较强。

主要体现在以下几个方面：1．紧紧抓住“在语境中”考查考生对知识的掌握，在题目设置上多采用对话，在适当的交际场景中考查知识，避免了“纯语法”、“纯知识”的考查。

2．强调英语的交际功能，而且交际场景丰富多彩，符合生活的真实。

3．句子难度适当加大，出现了一些结构较复杂，较难把握的句子，易造成理解和分析上的错误。

4．难度加大还体现在一个题中出现两个考点，而非只考查一处，考点考查不同的语法或词汇等。

5．语法知识的考查更加深入，进一步考查对知识的综合运用能力，尤其是动词时态、语态等的考查结合非谓语动词、情态动词、虚拟语气等进行。

6．强化对冠词、不定代词、系动词、介词、连词等抽象知识的考查，体现英语在表达和使用中的用词特点。

7．强化对词汇用法的考查，即考查词义辨析的搭配和用法、相关短语及词组的习惯用法等。

8．对动词短语、介词短语和习惯表达法的考查有所加强。

二、解题技巧
要取得单项填空的好成绩，除了基础知识要过硬，基本概念要清楚，答案要符合习惯用法、语境、情景及说话人的情感，还要掌握解题的基本技能：
1．读完整题，明确考点。

每道单项填空题都有具体的语言知识点为测试目标，都是在一定的语境中考查学生掌握和运用该语言知识的情况。

因此一定要细心审读，弄清语境或上下文。

2．上下联系，找准提示。

在通读试题的基础上，联系所给选项，在题中找对相应的关键词语或提示。

3．排除干扰，确认答案。

在高考题中，各题的干扰项均据科学的调查分析，精心设计编制而成，常遵循下列三点设题：①学生平时学习中常出现的错误②学生受本族语干扰易犯的错误③据试题上下文，估计考生可能会犯的错误。

因此，同学们应将试题考核点及每一选项与自己平时常犯、易犯错误对照分析，排除干扰，确认最佳答案。

4．确认答案后要检验你的选择是否正确。

可记住下列顺口溜：读懂题干是基础；分析判断为关键；带动检验是保证。

三、典型例题分析及其相关发散题
下面按语法知识要点对近五年高考中出现的单项选择题进行分析。

（2001年江苏省统计人数共289380； 2002年共有287957； 2003年共有338676）
（一）冠词（Articles）
1.NMET(99) Paper money was in _____ use in China when Marco Polo visited the country in _____ thirteenth century.
A. the; /
B. the ; the
C. / ; the
D. / ; /
答案：Ｃ。

in use为惯用语；这类不用冠词的惯用语很多，如：in nature（在性质上），in size（在大小上），in area（在面积上），at work（在工作上），at dinner（在吃晚饭）。

第二空项是序数词前加the;但泛指“再一个，再一次”，要用不定冠词a , 如：a second time, a third apple等。

2.NMET(2000) Most animals have little connection with _____ animals of ____different kind unless they kill them for food.
A. the; a
B. / ; a
C. the; the
D. / ; the
答案：Ｂ。

animals在这里属于泛指，of a … kind是固定用法，常作后置定语。

kind在此处是“种类”，是可数名词单数，所以前面要加不定冠词。

3.NMET (2001) The warmth of _____ sweater will of course be determined by the sort of _____ wool used.
A. the; the
B. the ; /
C. / ; the
D. /; /
答案：Ｂ。

本题考查冠词的类指用法和零冠词在物质名词前的用法。

定冠词和单数可数名词连用，代表一类人或物。

所以第一空应用定冠词，与其后的sweater连用表示羊毛衫这一类物品；而物质名词如：wheat, bronze, wool等在表示一般概念时，通常不加冠词，所以第二空应用零冠词。

(此题得分率是37.57%; A项有9.69%的考生选；Ｃ项有37.06%的考生选；Ｄ项有15.54%的考生选。

）
4.NMET (2002江苏卷) Boris has brains. In fact, I doubt whether anyone in the class has _____ IQ.
A. a high
B. a higher
C. the higher
D. the highest
答案：Ｂ。

此题题干句的意思为：“Boris有头脑，事实上我怀疑班上是否有人智商高于他。

” 智商为一数据，此处无需特指，所以应用比较级和不定代词。

(此题得分率是58.68%; A项有14.32%的考生选；Ｃ项有15.21%的考生选；Ｄ项有11.75%的考生选。

）
5.NMET (2002江苏卷) Jumping out of _____ airplane at ten thousand feet is quite _____ exciting experience.
A. / ; the
B. / ; an
C. an; an
D. the; the
答案：C。

此处可数名词airplane是一个泛指概念，experience在这表“经历、体验”，用作可数名词。

(此题得分率是36.07%; A项有4.96%的考生选；B项有54.15%的考生选；Ｄ项有4.8%的考生选。

）
6.NMET (2003) The sign reads “In case of _____ fire, break the glass and push _____ red button.”
A. /; a
B. /; the
C. the; the
D. a ; a
答案：Ｂ。

fire是不可数名词，根据句意“火情发生，按红色的按钮”，说话双方都知道red button，所以red button应为特指。

(此题得分率是71.76%; A项有14.62%的考生选；Ｃ项有8.54%的考生选；Ｄ项有5.05%的考生选.
7.(2001年高考春招试题)Mr Smith, there’s a man at ____front door who says he has _____ news for you of great importance.
A. the ; /
B. the; the
C. / ; /
D. / ; the
答案：A。

说话人告诉Mr Smith时，他所说的“前门”，应是他们所在房子的“前门”，属特指；说话人不知来人要告诉Mr Smith的是什么样的“重要消息”，故news属泛指。

8. (2000年北京朝阳区6月高三练习)First aid is ____ science of giving ____ medical care to ____ person before a doctor can be found.
A. the; /; a
B. the; the; a
C. a; /; the
D. /; a ; the
答案：A。

science 是不可数名词，但在此不是泛指一般概念，其后有限制性定语修饰，
特指“医疗护理技术”，故需加定冠词；care是不可数名词，此处medical care属于泛指，不加冠词；a person也属泛指，因其是可数名词，在其前要加不定冠词。

9. (99东北三校高三二次联考) _____ discovered _____ iron, which is _____ very useful material.
A. The man; /; a
B. The man; an; /
C. Man; /; a
D. Men; /; a
答案：C。

单数名词man可作“人类（总称）”解，其前不加冠词，而men通常指“一切男子”；iron 是物质名词，表示类属意义时不加冠词；material既可作可数名词，也可用作不可数名词，本题中material 是单数可数名词，在其前加a,指“一种材料”。

10. (2000年北京西城区5月抽样测试题)The police have ______ power to arrest bad people by _____ law.
A. the ; the
B. /; the
C. / ; /
D. the; /
答案：D。

power之后接不定式作限制性定语，特指“逮捕坏人的权力”；law是“法律”的整体，通常不加冠词，by law（依照法律）为固定搭配。

（二）名词、名词所有格、数词、主谓一致(Nouns, Numerals, Agreement)
1.(2000年东北三校高三第二次联考)
--- What would you like, sir? --- _____.
A. Two cups of coffees
B. Two coffees
C. Two cup of coffee
D. Two cups coffee
答案：Ｂ。

一般说来，coffee是物质名词，没有复数形式。

物质名词若将其量化，其前可加表容积和单位的词，并将其变为复数。

如：two cups of coffee.根据这一规则，本题似乎没答案可选。

coffee虽是物质名词，但在口语中常可加s表示“若干杯咖啡”。

如two coffees = two cups of coffee.
2. (2001年高考春招试题)If this dictionary is not yours, _____ can it be?
A. what else
B. who else
C. which else
D. who else’s
答案：D。

根据上句“is not yours”,可判定下句问的是“谁的”，排除A、C。

else是“别的，其他的”意思，与疑问词who连用时，其所有格形式为who else’s.
3. (2000年黄冈5月高三质量检测题) --- How many _____ these apples would you like, sir?
--- Two dozen, please.
A. dozen
B. dozens
C. dozen of
D. dozens of
答案：C。

数词+dozen 的用法类同于hundred，但后面若接“人称代词（或the, these / those + 名词）”，那么在dozen后面要加of，如：three dozen of them, two dozen of these apples. 本题空白后是these apples, 疑问词是提问dozen前的数词。

4.（2001年上海春季高考）The _____ is just around the corner and you won’t miss it.
A. bicycle’s shop
B. bicycle shop
C. bicycles shop
D. bicycle’s shop
答案：B。

本题考查名词作定语。

名词用定语说明名词的性质，一般都用单数形式；所有格说明所属关系，比如说Tom’s shop.

1.NMET (2000) _____ to take this adventure course will certainly learn a lot of useful skills.
A. Brave enough students
B. Enough brave students
C. Students brave enough
D. Students enough brave
答案：Ｃ。

形容词短语作定语要放在被修饰的名词的后面。

enough要放在被修饰的形容词或副词的后面。

2.NMET (2000)It’s always difficult being in a foreign country, ____ if you don’t speak the language.
A. extremely
B. naturally
C. basically
D. especially
答案：Ｄ。

本题考查副词的词义辨析。

especially常用于状语从句或介词短语的前面，用于加强语气，“特别，尤其是”。

3.NMET (2001) It’s generally believed that teaching is _____ it is a science.
A. an art much as
B. much an art as
C. as an art much as
D. as much an art as
答案：Ｄ。

本题考查形容词的同级比较。

在同级比较as…as句式中，如在as后面的形容词作定语且所修饰的名词前有不定冠词时，该冠词须置于形容词之后，即形成“as + 形容词+a /an + 单数可数名词+as”的结构。

(此题得分率是48.52%; A项有19.83%的考生选；B 项有10.03%的考生选；C项有21.54%的考生选。

）
4.NMET(2002) All the people ______ at the party were his supporters.
A. present
B. thankful
C. interested
D. important
答案：A。

根据句意“所有出席晚会的人都是他的支持者。

”选用present，其作形容词时常用作后置定语。

其他三个选项均不符句意。

5.NMET (2003) Allen had to call a taxi because the box was _____ to carry all the way home.
A. much too heavy
B. too much heavy
C. heavy too much
D. too heavy much
答案：A。

读了选项后便可明白此题是测试形容词、副词的词序。

选项中C、D项明显有错，B项的too much 意为“太多”，应修饰名词，much too修饰形容词、副词。

(此题得分率是62.94%;B项有29.56%的考生选；Ｃ项有4.64%的考生选；Ｄ项有2.82%的考生选。

）6.(2000年东北三校高三第二次联考)--- The disease he suffers is not easy to cure.
--- I know, but is he _____ better?
A. much
B. any
C. rather
D. little
答案：B。

A、B、C三项都可修饰比较级。

由于答语是个问句而any修饰比较级常用于疑问句。

7.(99黄冈高三调研考试题)It’s too late to leave, ______ , we have much more work to do here.
A. besides
B. except
C. otherwise
D. however
答案：A。

besides可作副词，表示“此外，而且”，常插入句中用逗号隔开，使前后文更加连贯，相当于besides作介词时besides this / that。

本句题意为；“要离开已太晚了，再则，我们在这儿还有很多事要做。

” except不可作副词，otherwise（否则）, however（然而）均不切题。

8.( 2003年南阳市第二次模拟)If you are _____ about that mysterious island, just read the book written by Dr. Johnson.
A. interested
B. anxious
C. upset
D. curious
答案：D。

根据句意：“如果你对那岛屿感兴趣，就读一下Dr. Johnson写的书。

”但interested必须与in一起使用；be curious about表示对事情好奇，因此也适用于这一语境。

（四）代词(Pronouns).
1.NMET (99) Few pleasures can equal _____ of a cool drink on a hot day.
A. some
B. any
C. that
D. those
答案：Ｃ。

本题考查代词that的用法。

That通常在句中代替同类的、特定的但不同一的事物。

在本句中that 替代the pleasure.句意为：“在炎热的夏天几乎没有任何乐趣能与饮一杯冷饮的乐趣相比。

”
2.NMET (2000) --- Why don’t we take a little break?
--- Didn’t we just have _____?
A. it
B. that
C. one
D. this
答案：Ｃ。

代词it用来指代前面提到的那个事物；that常用来指代一个概念，经常为不可数名词；one常用来指代与前边提到过的事物中同类却是不同的另一个；this 是近指，常指下文的内容。

本题中take a little break 与下文中have one即have a little break 虽然是意义相同，但却是不同时间的另一事物。

3.NMET (2000) If you want to change for a double room, you’ll have to pay ___ $15.
A. another
B. other
C. more
D. each
答案：Ａ。

“another + 数字+ 复数名词”结构，表示“还，再”，用来表示在原有数量上的附加，相当于数字与more的连用。

如：five more books = another five books.
4.NMET (2002江苏卷) Meeting my uncle after all these years was an unforgettable moment, ______ I will always treasure.
A. that
B. one
C. it
D. what
答案：B。

“one”在句中作an unforgettable moment的同位语，后跟一个定语从句，省略了关系代词that /which.如果把本句看作是一句非限制性定语从句，那么应填入which，马上排除Ａ、Ｃ、Ｄ项。

(此题得分率在所有单项填空题中得分率最低，只有11.08%; 选A项的考生有25.12%；选C项的考生有10.63%；选Ｄ项的考生有53.09%)
5.NMET (2003) --- There’s coffee and tea; you can have _____.
--- Thanks.
A. either
B. each

6.NMET (2003) --- Susan, go and join your sister cleaning the yard.
--- Why_____ ? John is sitting there doing nothing.
A. him
B. he
C. I
D. me
答案：D。

初看选项会以为只是考查代词的用法，其实此题考查的是省略句的知识点，这种用法在交际中十分常见。

此句要表示“为什么叫我去？”，而不是“为什么我要去？”所以应用宾语代词。

(此题得分率是61.54%; A项有4.77%的考生选；B项有4.51%的考生选；C项有29.14%的考生选。

--- You are joking. She doesn’t look _____.
A. so

D. the one
答案：B。

本题旨在考查it的特殊指代用法。

it作为指示代词，有时可以指代表语，表语是形容词或名词短语。

而that和so则不能这样用。

如：
She was rich --- and she looks it ( = looks rich).
He was an old man --- but he didn’t seem it.

1.NMET (2000) _____ production up by 60%, the company has had another excellent year.
A. As
B. For
C. With
D. Through
答案：Ｃ。

with + n.+ adv.(prep.) 结构常用来作状语，表主句动词动作发生的原因，或者伴随的动作。

As表示“既然、由于”时是连词，后面要接状语从句。

2.NMET (2001) The home improvements have taken what little there is _____ my spare time.
A. from
B. in
C. of
D. at
答案：Ｃ。

what引导的从句作谓语have taken的宾语，而从句中的基本结构为“there is little of …”,表“…有很少”，what修饰little提到了从句句首。

不少考生误选B项是受固定词组in one’s spare time的影响，而没考虑到句式和句意。

(此题得分率很低，只有22.25%; A 项有14.82%的考生选；B项有50.37%的考生选；Ｄ项有12.46%的考生选。

答案：Ａ。

从说话语境可知，此处应用一般将来时。

will do 与be going to do 都可用来表示将来。

但当表示立即做出的决定将要去做某事时一般用will，而be going to do 则一般用于事先经过考虑已做好的计划或决定。

4.NMET (2000) --- How are you today?
--- Oh, I _____ as ill as I do now for a very long time.
A. didn’t feel
B. wasn’t feeling
C. don’t feel
D. haven’t felt
答案：Ｄ。

对现在有影响的行为同时与for引导的一段时间状语连用时谓语动词的时态用现在完成时。

5.NMET (2000) The reporter said that the UFO _____ east to west when he saw it.
A. was traveling
B. traveled
C. had been traveling
D. was to travel
答案：Ａ。

根据句意“当他看到时，UFO正由东往西飞行。

当when引导的状语从句中的谓语是瞬间动作时，其所修饰的主句的谓语动词用过去进行时态。

6.NMET (2001) Selecting a mobile phone for personal use is no easy task because technology _____ so rapidly.
A. is changing
B. has changed
C. will have changed
D. will change
答案：Ａ。

本题考查动词的现在进行时的用法。

现在进行时态可用来表示现阶段正在发生的动作或正存在的状态。

正是因为现阶段所存在的事实“技术发展很快”才使得选择个人用的移动电话不是一件容易的事情。

(此题得分率是57.12%; B项有22.05%的考生选；Ｃ项有14.44%的考生选；Ｄ项有6.31%的考生选。

7.NMET (2001) I _____ pingpong quite well, but I haven’t had time to play since the new year.
A. will play
B. have played
C. played
D. play
答案：Ｄ。

一般现在时最重要的用法就是用来表示现在的习惯动作和客观存在。

题中“我”乒乓球打得很棒这一事实是存在于包括现在时刻在内的整个时间阶段的，所以不能用一般将来时和一般过去时；而现在完成时常用来表示过去的动作对现在的影响，也应当排除。

(此题得分率是45.12%; A项有1.98%的考生选；B项有11.36%的考生选；C项有41.42%的考生选。

8.NMET (2001) Visitors _____ not to touch the exhibits.
A. will request
B. request
C. are requesting
D. are requested
答案：Ｄ。

本题考查动词的时态和语态。

分析句子结构可知：本句的主语是谓语动词所表示的动作承受者，故本句应用被动语态。

(此题得分率是80.04%; A项有3.49%的考生选；B项有8.39%的考生选；C项有7.98%的考生选。

9.NMET (2002) The little girl _____ her heart out because she _____ her toy bear and believed she wasn’t ever going to find it.
A. had cried; lost
B. cried; had lost
C. has cried; has lost
D. cries; has lost
答案：B。

根据句意所表示的语境是陈述过去的事情，因此第一空用一般过去时。

而lost her toy bear很明显发生在believed 之前，所以第二空用过去完成时。

10.NMET (2002) --- Excuse me, sir. Would you do me a favour?
--- Of course. What is it?
--- I _____ if you could tell me how to fill out this form.
A. had wondered
B. was wondering
C. would wonder
D. did wonder
答案：B。

本题考查动词的时态。

根据句意可知说话者要表示在说话前正在做考虑的问题。

所以用过去进行时态。

11.NMET (2002江苏卷)I wonder why Jenny _____ us recently. We should have heard from her by now.
A. hasn’t written
B. doesn’t write
C. won’t write
D. hadn’t written
答案：Ａ。

本题考查动词的时态。

从说话者语气可知“我”所强调的是到现在为止Jenny为何没有写信，并且有recently作状语一般常用现在完成时或一般过去时。

12.NMET (2003) Why don’t you put the meat in the fridge? It will _____ fresh for several days.
A. be stayed
B. stay
C. be staying
D. have stayed
答案：B。

stay是持续性动词，一般不用进行式，也没有被动形式，因此可排除选项A 和C；将来完成时是指将来某一时刻已经完成的动作，用在此处不妥，因此可排除选项D；will表示一种倾向或趋势，其后接原形动词，因此该题的正确答案应为B。

(此题得分率是36.78%; A项有23.43%的考生选；Ｃ项有29.98%的考生选；Ｄ项有9.71%的考生选。

）13.NMET (2003) All morning as she waited for the medical report from the doctor, her nervousness _____.
A. has grown
B. is growing
C. grew
D. had grown
答案：C。

不少同学看到all morning后可能误选A项。

但此时的morning已过去（后跟了一个表示过去时间的状语从句），所以主句就用过去时态。

grow是持续性动词，用grew 可指“整个上午都在增加”，所以此题的正确答案为C。

(此题得分率较低，只有31.2%; A项有20.0%的考生选；B项有23.15%的考生选；Ｄ项有25.58%的考生选。

14.NMET (2002)Be careful when you cross this very busy street. If not, you may ___run over by a car.
A. have
B. get
C. become
D. turn
答案：B。

本题考查被动语态的表达。

被动语态的基本表达方式为：be + 过去分词。

get + 过去分词也可表示被动，类似于前一种形式，更强调动作。

15.NMET (2002江苏卷)--- You haven’t said a word about my new coat, Brenda. Do you like it?
--- I’m sorry I ____ anything about it sooner. I certainly think it’s pretty on you.
A. wasn’t saying
B. don’t say
C. won’t say
D. didn’t say
答案：Ｄ。

本题考查时态，根据句意可知乙方是对过去之事表示道歉，所以用一般过去时态。

不少考生误选Ｃ项是因为看到sooner.此处并不指将来，而是含有“尽快”之意。

（七）情态动词（Modal verbs）
情态动词是历年高考必设的考点，也是英语语法中的重点项目。

近几年中都出现了情态动词加完成式的题，这类题要根据说话的情境进行选择。

1.NMET (2000) --- Are you coming to Jeff’s party?
--- I’m not sure. I _____ go to the concert instead.
A. must
B. would
C. should
D. might
答案：Ｄ。

might语气比较弱表“也许，或许”；must猜测的语气非常强，表“一定是，一定会”；should常表示比较有可能的猜测，它比must 在语气上稍微差一点。

从题干所示的回答中可知说话者对于是否参加“Jeff’s party”还没拿定主意，也“可能”去听音乐会。

所以
只能选定might.
2.NMET (2002江苏卷)--- Is John coming by train?
--- He should, but he _____ not. He likes driving his car.
A. must
B. can
C. need
D. may
答案：Ｄ。

首先确定问句为将来时态，像come, go, leave, start等这类趋向动词的进行时表示将来。

答语就这一将来的动作作出判断。

may语气比较弱，表“也许，或许”；mustn’t 表示“禁止、不准”；can表推测用于否定句，表示“不可能”，另外还可表示能力，许可等；need not是表示“不必要”。

从回答中可知说话者说他喜欢自己开车，所以按理来说他应该坐火车，但是可能不一定，这里should表不是很强的猜测。

（此题得分率63%;选Ａ项的考生有7.7%；选B项的考生有18.5%；选C项的考生有10.69%）
3.NMET (2001) I was really anxious about you. You _____ home without a word.
A. mustn’t leave
B. shouldn’t have left
C. couldn’t have left
D. needn’t leave
答案：Ｂ。

本题考查“情态动词＋have ＋过去分词”结构。

由前一分句的过去时态可知，选项Ａ和Ｄ应排除。

“shouldn’t have done”表示“过去本不该做某事而实际做了某事”，常含责备或遗憾的意思。

（此题得分率75.92%;选Ａ项的考生有6.24%；选C项的考生有14.0%；选D项的考生有3.79%
4. NMET (2003) A left-luggage office is a place where bags ______ be left for a short time, especially at a railway station.
A. should
B. can
C. must
D. will
答案：B。

此题中只有can表示允许，许可，“可以”，其他项的词意均与题意不符，should“应当，应该”强调一种责任和义务; must必须，必要。

5. (99北京东城区6月高三综合练习)
--- Would you be here this evening?
--- Yes, we _____ .
A. shall
B. will
C. would
D. are
答案：B。

would用于疑问句中表示请求，语气委婉。

但答句中不能用would，而要用will。

Will表示：将要发生的行为；意志或愿望。

6. (2000年南京高三第二次模拟试题)--- Do you think he will do me a favor?
--- As far as I know, he is the last one to help others. He ___be prepared to give you a hand, though.
A. might
B. must
C. can
D. should
答案：A。

本题考查情态动词表推测的用法。

这儿的关键是he is the last one to help others (他是最不可能帮助别人的人)，既然他是这样的人，那么即使可能“帮助你”，可能性也不大。

7. (2000年广州普通高中毕业班综合测试题（二）)--- Did Dorice go out last night?
--- Yes, but she _____ at home. Her little sister needed her care.
A. may have stayed
B. must have stayed
C. should stay
D. ought to have stayed
答案：D。

从答语“yes”可知本题不属于推测题，排除A、B，C项动词形式不对。

表示“本该做某事，其实却没去做”，含有责备意味，用should (ought to) have done sth.
8. (上海2000) My sister met him at the Grand Theatre yesterday afternoon, so he _____ your lecture.。
