【名师点睛】
英语单选题解题技巧
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。

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。

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。

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。

4、利用对称结构
在做题过程中要善于利用and, but等并列连词。

若前面是个句子，后面也必定是个句子，反之亦然；若连接的是几个动词，这几个动词也必定是同一时态或同一形式。

5、注意标点符号
标点有时对我们做题有提示作用，不同的标点可能导致不同的答案，做题时一定要小心。

6、熟记固定搭配
在平时的学习中注意积累一些常见的固定句式、动词与副词的搭配、名词与形容词的搭配等等，对做题十分有利。

7、排除思维定式
有些试题的题干，看上去好像就是固定搭配，我们完成后自以为十分有把握，结果却做错了。

所以当我们越是遇到十分熟悉的所谓固定搭配时，越要从句子结构上或者句子意义上仔细分析，以免步入命题人设计的陷阱。

A. used up
B. run out
C. been given out
D. run out of
参考答案：
B
略

三、阅读理解
18. Dear Alcohol,
You’ve been around forever. I can remember all the pain you’ve caused me.
Do you remember the night when you almost took my father’s life? I do. He loves you. Sometimes I think he loves you more than he loves me. He’s addicted to you, to the way you promise to rid him of his problems only to cause more of them. You just sat back and laughed as his car went turning through the street, crashing into two other cars. He wasn’t the only one badly hurt by you that night.
Do you remember the night of my first high school party? My friends were intrigued by you. They treated you as if they were never going to see you again, drinking all of you that they could. I spent two hours that night helping my friends who had fallen head over heels for you. “I’m so embarrassed,” they said as I held their hair back so that they could throw up. “I’m sorry,” they said when I called taxis for them, walking them out and paying the driver in advance. “This won’t happen again,” they said as they were sent to the hospital to have their stomachs pumped. Two 15-year-old girls slept in hospital beds that night due to you.
Do you remember the night when you took advantage of my 17-year-old neighbor who had to drive to pick up his sister from her dance lesson? Do you know how we all felt when he hit another car head-on and killed two people in the other car? He died the next morning, too. His sister walked home from her dance lesson, and passed police cars and a crowd of people gathering on the sidewalk just two blocks away from the dance studio. She didn’t realize her brother was among them at all. She never saw him again. And it was all your fault.
I wish you’d walk out of my life forever. I don’t want anything to do with you. Look at all the pain you’ve caused. Sure, you’ve made people happy too from time to time. But the damage you’ve caused in the lives of millions is not excusable. Stop attracting the people I love! Stop hurting me, please!
Sincerely,
Me
