英语高考试题解读

面广，突出重点，正确引导教学；题新，强调交际，全面考查语言运用能力
——解读2007年各省市高考单项填空题
2007年高考面广，基本涵盖中学所学语法项目，重点考查非谓语动词36题、时态语态32题、动词及动词短语31题、情态动词14题、交际用语18题、定语从句16题、状语从句15题、形容词与副词25题等。

广东的语法填空、湖北的完成句子也全面的考查了基本语法。

考题重视基础知识，顾及全体考生；题干新，强调语言的交际性和真实性。

各省市考题有诸多共同点。

一、动词时态语态
1. 面广，基础时态，重点考查（考查了一般过去时10题，现在完成时7题，过去完成时与过去进行时各5题，其它各种时态只考查了6题）
[湖南30]We live day by day, but in the great things, the time of days and weeks ____so small that a day is unimportant.
A. is
B. are
C. has been
D. have been
[点拔]答案A。

考查一般现在时及主谓一致。

一般现在时表示现在的状态、客观事实或经常性的动作；句中讲的是一个实事：我们在一天天地生活，在大事件中，几天或几周也是非常短暂的，我们的每一天就更显得微不足道了。

转折分句中的主语是the time，应该用第三人称单数。

[福建30]Danny hard for long to realize his dream and now he is popular.
A. works
B. is working
C. has worked
D. worked
[点拔]答案C。

考查现在完成时，信息now he is popular表明work是已经完成的对现在有影响的动作。

语意表明Danny已努力工作并实现了梦想。

[重庆23]—Did Alan enjoy seeing his old friends yesterday?
—Yes, he did. He___his old friends for a long time.
A. didn't see
B. wouldn't see
C. hasn't seen
D. hadn't seen
[点拔]答案D。

考查过去完成时。

该时态表示在过去的某一时间点看来已经完成的动作，即“过去的过去”。

Alan昨天见到了他的朋友，在这以前他们很长时间没见过面。

[福建21]—I saw Jane and her boyfriend in the park at eight yesterday evening.
—Impossible. She____ TV with me in my home then.
A. watched
B. had watched
C. would watch
D. was watching
[点拔]答案D。

考查过去进行时。

该时态表示过去某时正在发生的事情。

句中讲昨晚八点Jane正与我一起看电视。

[全国I 35]The flowers were so lovely that they ____ in no time.
A. sold
B. had been sold
C. were sold
D. would sell
[点拔]答案C。

考查一般过去式被动语态。

句中讲这花非常漂亮，一会儿就卖完了。

这是叙述过去发生的动作，用一般过去；flowers是动作sold的承受者，需用被动语态。

[江西31]—I have got a headache.
—No wonder. You in front of that computer too long.
A. work
B. are working
C. have been working
D. worked
[点拔] 答案C。

考查现在完成进行时，强调该动作已持续了一段时间，还将继续进行下去；而现在进行时表示现在正在发生的事，信息词too long表明我头痛已一段时间。

[北京24]—How can I apply for an online course?
—Just fill out this form and we ____ what we can do four you.
A. see
B. are seeing
C. have seen
D. will see
[点拔]答案D。

“祈祈使句+and+条件句”中考查一般将来时。

该句型的条件句部分应该用一般将来时。

—Yes, I have. I guess it ____ now.
A. has graded
B. is graded
C. is being graded
D. is grading
[点拔]答案C。

考查现在进行时被动语态。

句中it指代schoolwork，它是动作grade的承受者，被动语态；语境表明我已经交了作业，老师现在正评等级。

2. 语境信息丰富，有效测试语法知识的运用能力
[全国II 15] — Is there anything wrong. Bob? You look sad.
—Oh, nothing much. In fact, I ___ of my friends back home.

B. have
C. have had
D. will have
[点拔]答案A。

一般过去式，用来陈述过去实事。

3. 题干新，设题有创意，考查学生正确理解语言结构
[湖南25]As the years passed, many occasions—birthdays, awards, graduations—_____ with Dad’s flowers.
A. are marked
B. were marked
C. have marked
D. had marked
[点拔]答案B。

利用插入语将谓语动词与主语间隔开来，构成障碍，加大试题难度。

句了讲述发生在过去的实事，用一般过去时；birthdays, awards, graduations为插入语。

[天津13]If Newton lived today, he would be surprised by what ____ in science and technology.
A. had discovered
B. had been discovered
C. has discovered
D. has been discovered
[点拔]答案D。

主句中采用虚拟语气，干扰考生视线，实际测试现在完成时的被动语态。

句意：如果Newton生活在现在，他就会为当今在现代科学技术方面已取得的发现而感到惊奇。

4. 时态、语态与主谓一致，虚拟语气与陈述语气混合考查
[浙江17]Professor James will give us a lecture on the Western culture, but when and where __ yet.
A. hasn’t been decided
B. haven’t decided
C. isn’t being decided
D. aren’t decided
[点拔]答案A。

时态、语态与主谓一致混合考查。

该题考查点有三：①when and where （何时何地）是一个整体，句中谓语用第三人称单数；②when and where是动词decide的承受者，用被动语态；③信息词yet表明最好用现在完成时，表示Professor James何时何地给我们讲课还未决定。

[山东32]They ____two free tickets to Canada, otherwise they’d never have been able to afford to go.
A. had got
B. got
C. have got
D. get
[点拔]答案B。

复合句的第二分句是由otherwise引出的虚拟语气；语境表明他们得到免费票是实事，要不然他们是没有能力支付去加拿大有花消的。

5.突出对时态区别的考查
[江西35]—Ouch! You hurt me!
—I am sorry. But I any harm. I to drive a rat out.
A. didn’t mean; tried
B. don’t mean; am trying
C. haven’t meant; tried
D. didn’t mean; was trying
[点拔]答案D。

一般过去式和过去进行时的区别。

过去进行时强调动作的未完成性；一般过去式时表示发生在特定过去时间单纯的一次动作。

语境表明我无意伤害对方，当时我正在驱赶老鼠。

[辽宁33]— Has your father returned from Africa yet?
— Yes, but he ___ here for only three days before his company sent him to Australia.
A. was
B. has been
C. will be
D. would be
[点拔]答案A。

一般过去式和现在完成时的区别。

本题用一般过去式，强调过去的实事或状态,语境表明父亲过去在非洲呆过三天，现在不在非洲了；而B项现在完成时表示动作持续到现在，说明他到目前为止仍在非洲；注意：不能受“现在完成时与一段时间的状语连用”这一思维定式的影响而误选B项。

再如：His father was an English teacher all his life. 父亲已死。

His father has been an English teacher all his life. 父亲还活着。

[江苏27].— ____ you ____ him around the museum yet?
— Yes. We had a great time there.
A. Have；shown
B. Do；show
C. Had；shown
D. Did；show
[点拔]答案A。

根据信息We had a great time there（我们在那儿玩得高兴），说明先前动作对现在有影响，用现在完成时表明我已经带他参观了博物馆。

此题考查了四个时态的区别。

二、情态动词
考题重点、难点突出。

14个考题中，[四川24]考查shall用于法律、法规、公文、公告；[全国I 27]考查should(be)表推测，[北京26]考查must(do)表必须，[辽宁30]考查Shouldn’t you be doing表建议，[重庆29]考查don't have to，[湖南24]考查can’t(do)；其它有8个省市考查了“情态动词+完成体”，这是教学的重点与难点。

[安徽23] The teacher _____have thought Johnson was worth it or she wouldn't have wasted time on him, I suppose.
A. should
B. can
C. would
D. must
[点拔]答案D。

[]江西27.—Where is my dictionary? I remember I put it here yesterday.
—You it in the wrong place.
A. must put
B. should have put
C. might put

[点拔] 答案D。

备、不满等。

句语境表明你发前可能放错了地方。

[福建25]My MP4 player isn’t in my bag. Where I have put it?
A. can
B. must
C. should
D. would
[点拔]答案A。

can用于疑问句中表推测，该句讲我的字典可能放在了什么地方呢？。

must表示推测，不能用于疑问句中；should有时表示一种惊奇的、不能理解的感情色彩，常用于how或why及（有时）其它疑问词的后面，如：—Harry is a badly-behaved boy, I think.—Why should you think that? 注意：句中不是表达这种色彩，而是对过去发生事情的推测。

[浙江15] —My cat’s really fat.
— You _____ have given her so much food.
A. wouldn’t
B. couldn’t
C. shouldn’t
D. mustn’t

[湖北40] It is possible that the King of Stonehenge was linked to the stones: he (可能参与) in planning the monument, or in helping transport and pull up the stones.(hand) [点拔] 这是湖北卷的语法填空题。

对过去发生事情的推测，语气不强。

答案：may (might/could) have had a hand.
三、非谓语动词
非谓语动词是各省市高考重中之重。

该项目有6个省市着重考查了中学阶段最基础的知识——使役动词make, have后接非谓语动词作宾补；有10个省市以特殊结构为桥梁多方位考查该语法项目，突出教学重难点。

1. have/make/hear+宾语+宾补
[安徽35] —Did Peter fix the computer himself?
—He ____, because he doesn't know much about computers.
A. has it fixed
B. had fixed it
C. had it fixed
D. fixed it
[点拔]答案C。

have sth. done 可表示“请/让/叫别人（为自己）做某事”，强调主语的意志，语境表明Peter请别人修好了计算机。

注意：B项以及D项表示是他修好计算机的，而且B项时态也不正确，不能误选；语境表明修计算机是过去发生的动作，应该用一般过去式。

[江苏30]He is very popular among his students as he always tries to make them ______ in his lectures.
A. interested
B. interesting
C. interest
D. to interest
[点拔] 答案A。

过去分词作宾补。

[江苏35]My parents have always made me ______ about myself, even when I was twelve.
A. feeling well
B. feeling good
C. feel well
D. feel good
[点拔] 答案D。

make sb. do让某人做某事，其中宾语是补足语所表示动作的执行者，宾语补足语所表示的动作在当时尚未发生；而doing表示正在发生的动作；well指身体好，不能误选。

[北京28]— excuse me sir, where is Room 301?
—Just a minute. I’ll have Bob ____yo u to your room.
A. show
B. shows
C. to show
D. showing
[点拔]答案A。

不带to的不定式作宾补；showing表示动作正在发生，与语境不符；信息Just a minute表明动作将发生。

[福建24]Jenny hopes that Mr. Smith will suggest a good way to have her written English in a short period.
A. improved
B. improving
C. to improve
D. improve
[点拔] 答案A。

have sth./sb. done也可表示“使完成某事”，强调事情的结果，而不强调动作的执行者；此事可以是别人完成的，也可以是自己参与完成的。

语境暗示我的写作能力提高了。

[上海34]After a knock at the door, the child heard his mother’s voice him.
A. calling
B. called
C. being called
D. to call
[点拔]答案A。

宾语与宾补之间表主动，且动作正在发生，用现在分词。

2. 重点考查结构与句型
①have difficulty (in)doing; spend time/money (in)doing句型与省略结构
[辽宁34]You can’t imagine what difficulty we had ____ home in the snowstorm.
A. walked
B. walk
C. to walk
D. walking
[点拔]答案D。

动名词作宾语。

命题者巧用定语从句(that)we had…修饰先行词difficulty,打乱了句型have difficulty (in ) doing的正常语序，形成间隔陷阱。

[重庆32]—Do you have any idea what Paul does all day?
—As I know, he spends at least as much time playing as he_____.
A. writes
B. does writing
C. is writing
D. does write
[点拔]答案B。

考查动名词作宾语及代动词。

as he does playing是as he spends time in writing的省略，其中的介词in可以省略；该句讲Paul用来玩的时间与他花在做作业的时间至少说是一样的。

②独立主格结构结构。

有关非谓语动词的独立主格结构结构有两种情况：第一、由“名词/代词+ to do/doing /done”构成，也可由 there be句型和it引出分词独立结构；第二、“with名词/代词+ to do / doing / done”结构。

它们在句中作状语，表示时间、条件、原因、伴随等情况。

[重庆25]The children went home from the grammar school, their lessons _____for the day.
A. finishing
B. finished
C. had finished
D. were finished
[点拔]答案B。

考查“名词+过去分词”结构。

their lessons与finish有被动关系；前后句子间没有连词，是简单句，不能用谓语动词。

[山东33]The country has already sent up three unmanned spacecraft, the most recent ____at the end of last March.
A. has been launched
B. having been launched
C. being launched
D. to be launched
[点拔]答案B。

考查“名词+现在分词”结构。

表示一个被动完成的动作；这也是简单句，不能用谓语动词。

[安徽29]John received an invitation to dinner, and with his work ____, he gladly accepted it.
A. finished
B. finishing
C. having finished
D. was finished
[点拔]答案A。

考查“with+名词+过去分词”结构。

finished表示一个被动、完成的动作。

[福建26]—Come on, please give me some ideas about the project.
—Sorry. With so much work my mind, I almost break down.
A. filled
B. filling
C. to fill
D. being filled
[点拔]答案B。

考查“with+名词+不定式”结构。

work与fill my mind有主动关系且动作
正发生，而to fill表一个将发生的动作，与语境不符。

③动名词复合结构
该结构由形容词物主代词或名词所有格加上动名词构成，它在作主语,宾语或表语。

注意：该结构如果在句中作宾语时可用宾格代替形容词性物主代词，用名词代替其所有格[全国II 12] At the beginning of class, the noise of desks _____could be heard outside the classroom.
A. opened and closed
B. to be opened and closed
C. being opened and closed
D. to open and close
[点拔]答案C。

逻辑主语desks与动名词being opened and closed构成复合结构作介词of 的宾语。

④be said to结构
英语中，表达“据说……”常用句型…be said to…/People say…/It is said that…；动词report, decide, announce, believe, think, suggest, require, demand, order等都适用于以上句型。

[重庆28]Leonardo da Vinci(1452-1519)____birds kept in cages in order to have the pleasure of setting them free.
A. is said to be buying
B. is said to have bought
C. had said to buy
D. has said to have bought
[点拔]答案B。

be said to have done表示一个完成的动作。

该句型可转变为：
People said that he had bought birds kept in cages in order to have the pleasure of setting them free.
It was said that he had bought birds kept in cages in order to have the pleasure of setting them free.
[辽宁29] The crowd cheered wildly as the sight of Liu Xiang, who was reported ____ the world record in the 110-metre hurdle race.
A. breaking
B. having broken
C. to have broken
D. to break
[点拔] 答案C。

考查不定式的完成式，该结构表示发生在谓语动词之前的动作。

据报道刘翔已破纪录，用完成式。

四、动词及动词短语。

动词及动词短语是今年各省市高考的重头戏，考查了whisper, expect, mind, enjoy, achieved, stay, counts, imagine, do, preserve在语境中的含义以及以高频动词、常用介词为核心的短语，共计31题。

学习中要全面掌握常见动词的基本用法；要总结好以动词、介词、副词为核心的短语。

五、定语从句
命题者设题新颖，题干信息丰富；考点相当一致，突出了教学中的重难点，16小题中考查关系副词where的用法7题、“介词+关系代词”7题。

1. where引导定语从句
①基本用法关系副词where引导的定语从句要具备两个条件：第一、表地点；第二、它从句中语法功能是状语。

关系副词when/why用法相似。

[全国I 22] Some pre-school children go to a day care center, _____ they learn simple games and songs.
A. then
B. there
C. while
D. where
[点拔] 答案D。

先行词a day care center表地点，它在从句中起状语的作用，用关系副词引导定语从句。

[福建27]The village has developed a lot we learned farming two years ago.
A. when
B. which
C. that
D. where
[点拔] 答案D。

间隔性定语从句。

因定语从句太长，而谓语部分比较短，为了整个句子的平衡，将定语从句放在句末，形成了间隔；先行词village表地点，它在从句表示in the village的意思，起状语的作用，用关系副词。

[广东36]…the head of the village was tying up his horse to my car to pull it to a small town some 20 kilometers away 36 there was a garage.（形式：语法填空题）
[点拔]关系副词where引导定语从句。

先行词为a small town，它在从句中表示in the small town的含义，用关系副词。

②创新测试
关系副词where引导定语从句时，它的先行词有时不表示一个明确的地方，可以是诸如point, situation, case, activity, talk show, exciting rides之类的词，这是近年来高考的重点。

[江西32] After graduation she reached a point in her career where she needed to decide what to do.
A. that
B. what
C. which
D. where
[点拔]答案D。

题中的先行词为point，且它在定语从句中起状语的作用，表示在这个时间或阶段。

[陕西20]Today, we'll discuss a number of cases_____ beginners of English fail to use the language properly.
A. which

题中的先行词为activity，且它在定语从句中起状语的作用，表示在这个活动中。

句意：这些成功的聋哑舞蹈家认为跳舞是这样一个活动，在这过程中，视觉比听觉更重要。

③where与其它从句的区别
[山东30]—Where did you get to know her?
—It was on the farm _____ we worked.
A. that
B. there
C. which
D. where
[点拔] 答案D。

关系副词where引导定语从句，而并非强调句。

如果将答语误认为是一个强调句，理解成我们正是在农场上工作，这就答非所问了。

[浙江5]Why not try your luc k downtown, Bob? That’s _____ the best jobs are.
A. where
B. what
C. when
D. why
[点拔] 答案A。

where引导从句，在从句中充当表语。

2. “介词+关系代词”引导定语从句
考点分布见表二：
六、名词性从句
今年高考中共有11题点击了此考点，而且考点是非常一致，着重考查基础知识点what （8题）及that（2题）。

引导主语、宾语、表语以及同位语从时,what在从句中要充当句子成分，而且有具体的含义；而that引导名词性从句时,它在句中不作任何成分,只起语法连接作用。

1. that引导名词性从句
[上海40]The traditional view is we sleep because our brain is “programmed” to make us do so.
A. when
B. why
C. whether
D. that
[点拔] 答案D。

that引导表语从句。

A. why
B. that
C. when
D. where
[点拔] 答案B。

that引导宾语从句。
