15. 能力训练
(一)单句改错
1.Wang Hong is impossible to attend the meeting.
简析:本句应改为It is impossible for Wang Hong to attend the meeting。因为impossible不能修饰人,也不用它来作某人的表语,它只能用来修饰物。
2.I won’t come without inviting to the meeting.
简析:本句应改为I won’t come without being invited to the meeting.“invite”为及物动词,有“invite sb. to +n.”与“invite sb. to do sth.”。此处的“invite”的逻辑宾语是句子的主语“I”,因此,此处的“without”之后该用“being invited to do”。
3.He seemed that he had seen the film several times.
简析:本句应改为It seemed that he had seen the film several times.“seem”表示“似乎”“好像”时,常见句型有:
(1)It seems/seemed that…
(2)Sb. seems/seemed (to be)+adj./n.
(3)Sb. seems/seemed to do sth.
(4)It seems/seemed as if…
4.Almost all the buildings were in ruin.
简析:本句中的“ruin”应改为“ruins”。因为“(be) in ruins”为一固定短语,意为“成为废墟”。
5.It was foolish for him to waste his money on such a computer.
简析:应把for改为of。因为这里是“对人的评价”,而不是“对事的评价”。“对人的评价”应用句型“It is+adj.+of sb. to do sth.”“对事的评价”则是“It is+adj.+for sb. to do sth.”详解见知识归纳1。
6.Having got a driving license,he tried to drive on real road.
简析:“tried to drive”应改为“tired driving”。因为“try doing sth.”意为“尝试做某事”,而“try to do sth.”则是“尽力去做某事”。
二。 高考真题
1.(2000年上海高考)The ___________ boy was last seen ___________ near the East Lake.
A. missing; playing B. missing; play C. missed; played D. missed; to play
简析:选A。该题译为“那个丢失的小男孩最后一次被看见时正在东湖边玩耍。”“missing”表示“丢失的”,see sb .do sth.表示“看见某人做了某事”,see sb. doing sth.表示“看见某人正在做某事”。据题意,只能选A。选项B、C、D动词形式均不对。
2.(NMET 1999)You should make it a rule to leave things ___________ you can find them again.
A. when B. where C. then D. there
简析:选B。本题考查副词when和where的使用,也涉及表示时间的then和表示地点的there。题干中to leave things和find them again是关键提示。由此可确定需选用与地点有关的副词;又从句子结构判断,后面分句应为地点状语从句,修饰动词leave,因而选择B项。
3.(2000年春季高考)All the preparations for the task ___________,and we’re ready to start.
A. completed B. complete C. had been completed D. have been completed
简析:选D。此处谓语动词应选被动式,表示“准备工作被完成”,排除A和B。又因下文用现在时“are ready”,上文也应着眼在现在,用现在完成时,表示过去动作“完成了准备工作”对现在的影响是“现在已准备出发”。故选D项。
4.(2000年春季高考)These wild flowers are so special I would do ___________ I can to save them.
A. whatever B. that C. which D. whichever
简析:选A。全句意为“这些野花如此奇特,我要尽我所能来挽救它们。”宾语从句“whatever I can (do)”中的do被省略了,而whatever作这个do的宾语。不选B。因为that引导宾语从句时本身不作成分。而C、D两项不合题意。句尾不定式“to save them”作目的状语。故选A。
5.(NMET 2000)―What about having a drink?
―___________.
A. Good idea B. Help yourself C. Go ahead, please D. Me, too
简析:选A。这是考查交际用语。“喝一杯怎么样?”A项是“好主意”表示赞同。B项“你自己动手(夹菜)吃吧。”是请他人用餐。C项“请继续吧。”是允许他人行事。D项是“我也要一杯吧。”表示自己也如此。故选A项。

1. I prefer doing to talk.
简析:talk改为talking。因“prefer+n. /doing to+n. /doing”为固定用法。

6. (一)单句改错
1.Why not to come to our home for the party?
简析:去掉come前的to。Why not do sth.?是表示建议的常用句型,not后跟动词原形,也可用Why don’t you do sth.?
2.Swimming is a great fun.
简析:去掉a。fun是不可数名词,通常不与冠词a或the连用。
3.Computers can be used to doing a lot of things.
简析:将doing改为do。be used to表示被用来做某事,to是不定式符号,其后接动词原形。如果它表示“习惯于做某事”时,to则是介词,后接名词、代词、动名词。
4.She gave me a lot of valuable advices.
简析:advices改为advice。advice当建议、忠告讲时,是不可数名词。
5.The title boy didn’t dare crossing the street by himself.
简析:将crossing改为to cross。dare作行为动词,后接不定式作宾语。
6.Mr Green’s family are going to London on the holiday.

(二)易错题
1.The motorbike is so nice.I think it costs ___________ ten thousand yuan.
A. in the least B. at most C. no more than D. at least
简析:答案选D。根据题意,应用at least表示“至少值一万元”。
2.___________ we do must be in the interests of the people.
A. However B. No matter how C. Whatever D. No matter what
简析:选C。“No matter…”只能引导让步状语从句而whatever引导名词性从句也可引导让步状语从句。
3.His words remind me ___________ we did during the summer vacation?
A. that B. of that C. of what D. what
简析:选C。remind sb. of sth.意思为“使某人想起某事”。题中缺of的宾语,由what引导的宾语从句作of的宾语。并且what既作宾语从句的引导词,又作动词did的宾语。
4.He practised speaking English with the teacher and his classmates ___________ possible.
A. where B. whatever C. whenever D. whichever
简析:选C。本题意思是“每当可能的时候,他总会与老师及同学们一起练习讲英语”。whenever“无论何时”=no matter when,引导让步状语从句。本句中的“whenever possible”是whenever it is possible的省略形式。
5.Sometimes grass ___________ paper.
A. is used to making B. used to make C. is used to make D. used for making
简析:选C。因be used to do sth. 意为“被用于做某事”,本句还可写为:Sometimes grass is used for making paper。
6. There are _____ five people in my family. They are my grandparents, my parents and I.
A. as many B. more than C. not more than D. no more than
简析:选D。not more than意为“不足、少于”;not more than意为“仅仅,正好”;more than意为“超过,不仅仅”。
五、高考真题
1.(NMET 2000,6)―What about having a drink?

2.(2000春招)John may phone tonight. I don’t want to go out ___________ he phones.
A. as long as B. in order that C. in case D. so that
简析:选C。题中A为“只要”,B为“为了”,C为“以防”,D为“结果”。根据句意应选C。
3.(NMET 2000)I don’t think I’ll need any money but I’ll bring some ___________.
A. at last B. in case C. once again D. in time
简析:选B。A为“最终”,B为“万一”,C“又一次”,D为“及时”。本题意为“我认为我不会需要钱的,但我还是带些以防万一”。
4. (NMET 2001,春招)A new cinema ___________ here. They hope to finish it next month.
A. will be built B. is built C. has been built D. is being built
简析:选D。从后面的提示看,这项工程还没有完工,故应是正在建设之中,而且是被动语态。

6.
(一)单句改错

简析:去掉第一个the, 或在present后加time。
at present是固定短语,意为“现在、目前”。也可用at the present time 来表示。
2. Too much of the deer in the country have been killed.
简析:将much改为many。too much后接的是不可数名词。too many后接可数名词。句中的deer是可数名词,其单复数同形。
3. The sun was disappeared behind the cloud.
简析:把was去掉。disappear表示“消失,失踪”,是不及物动词,不能用于被动语态。
4. Some day, I saw some foreign visitors in the park.

2. (NMET 1998)―Can you come on Monday or Tuesday?
―I’m afraid ___________day is possible.
A. either B. neither C. some D. any
简析:答案为B。
前句提到Monday or Tuesday, 意为在两者之中选择,故可排除C、D两项。后文用I’m afraid…来回答,显然是否定含义,故选neither,意为两天都不可能。
3. (2002 北京)All the people ___________ at the party were his supporters.
A. present B. thankful C. interested D. important
简析:答案为A。
由句意可知是“所有出席宴会的人都是他的支持者”,故只能选present。当“出席,在场”讲时,present作定语放在所修饰词后。
4. (NMET 2000)―Is John coming by train?
―He should, but he___________ not. He likes driving his car.
A. must B. can C. need D. may
