This method, ______ in areas near Shanghai, ______ in a marked rise in total production.
A. trying, resulting
B. tried, resulted
C. trying, resulted
D. tried, resulting
分析:通过阅读题干,我们可知句子缺少谓语动词,因此本题考查的是谓语动词知识。四个选项给出的都是动词的某种形式,而且两个动词之间没有连接词,因此其中一个是谓语动词,另一个是非谓语动词,因此考点也包括非谓语动词。根据句意,“try”与主语是被动关系,如果用做谓语,应该是被动结构“is / was tried”或者“has been tried”,而四个选项中都没有,因此“try”应该是非谓语动词,“result”是谓语动词,从而排除非谓语形式出现的“result”,即A、D两个选项。最后,根据“the method”与“try”之间的被动关系,确定“try”应为过去分词“tried”形式,正确选项为B。
______ is no possibility ______ Bob can win the first prize in this competition. (C)
A. There, whether
B. It, that
C. There, that
D. It, whether
分析:在“be no + n”这个结构中,对于句首用there还是it,后边加that还是whether,或者使用to do还是doing等问题,学生很容易混淆。因此,教师要帮助学生区别相似的语法点,比如:There is no possiblity that...(毫无可能);There is no need to do...(毫无必要);There is no problem that...(没有问题);There is no point (in) doing...(毫无意义);There is a chance that ...(有可能);It is no wonder that... (不足为奇);It isn’t much fun doing...(没意思);It’s a waste of time doing...(浪费时间);It is no use / no good / useless doing...(没用)。
D. 赏析语言,品味经典
(1)Odland在一家高级法国餐厅当服务生时,不小心把冰激凌撒到了一位地位显赫、非常富有的妇人的白色礼服上。她当时的反应使他终生难忘:She was shocked, regained calmness and, in a kind voice, told the young Odland, “It’s OK. It wasn’t your fault.”(2007年高考英语全国卷阅读理解C篇)作者用“shocked”而不是“surprised”,展现出妇人当时的震惊情绪;“regained calmness”而不是“calmed down again”,语言精练;“in a kind voice…”表现出妇人的柔声细语。短短的一句话中既有人物神情和动作的描写,又有语言的描写。几个并列谓语动词生动地刻画出妇人从受惊到镇定,而后安慰他人等表情的变化,让人有身临其境之感。学生在写作中也要力求选词准确、语言简练、描写生动。
(2)On the road of life, the help of strangers lighten our roads and lift our spirits. How much sweeter the journey will be when we make it a little smoother for others!(2008年高考重庆卷)在夹叙夹议的记叙文中,开头或结尾一般都有作者的感想。这段话不仅语言精彩,而且可以对青少年的成长起到引导作用。通过鉴赏,学生与作者的情感产生了共鸣。
