一、NMET单项填空的命题特点
1.重英语语言的基础知识的考查及运用,知识点多,覆盖面广。内容上主要涵盖:语法知识,语法知识的情景交际,词汇知识,英语固定搭配和纯情景交际。
2.重点突出,强调考查动词的用法。以2002年春季高考为例,15道选择题中有6道考查动词,此类题主要集中在时态、语态、非谓语动词、动词词组、词义辩析及情态动词等方面。
3.突出语境的作用,注重语言交际功能的考查,从而达到考查语言运用能力的目的。自99年以来,NMET的考查重点、从语言形式转向语意,不仅考查语法规则、固定搭配等语言知识,更重要的是考查语言知识在具体语境中的运用,且设置的语境自然、巧妙、新颖,而且内容来源于生活,反映实际生活。
4.增加了综合化因素。部分题目综合考查多个语法项目或交叉考查语言知识,增加了试题的灵活性和难度。
二、NMET解题技巧及应试策略
1.把握题干所给语义信息,抓住关键词、句,提高语义题的得分率。题干中所提供的语义信息有时很明显,有时只能通过分析才能找到,考生务必仔细推敲。如:
(1)—Which of these two ties will you take?
—I'll take ______, to give me a change sometimes.
A. either B. neither C. all D. both
注意题中所给信息:“two”和”give me a change sometimes” 答案为D.
(2)I was1 really anxious2 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
注意题中所给信息:“was”和“without a word”便不难读出“I”的责备之意。答案为B。
2.把握上下文的时间隐含
有时题干中没明确给出时间,而是隐含在上下文中,考生只有通过对题干所给信息的推断,才能选定正确的时态。如:
(1)—You're drinking too much. —Only at home . No one _____ me but you.
A. is seeing B. had4 seen C. sees D. saw5
题干信息有:“you are drinking”和“(I'm drinking) only at home.”故No one but you see me (now )。注意括号内补充信息。
(2) —How are the team playing ?
—They're playing well ,but one of them _______ hurt .
A. got B. gets C. are D. were
题干隐含信息有:比赛正在进行,但有一人受伤。故选A。
3.排除思维定势的干扰
(1)Shanghai is larger than _____ city in India6.
A. any other B. other C. all other D. any
“比较级+ than any other + 名词”这一结构为思维定势,而此题应考虑 “地理范畴”,故答案是D。
( 2 ) With everything she needed _______ , Mum left the marketplace .
A. to buy B. having bought C. buying D. bought
此题极易误选A或C。陷入思维定势,殊不知she needed为定语从句,后置,修饰everything。考查的是“with+名词/代词+分词”这一结构。故正确答案是D。
4.综合语法知识,注意句子结构
(1) _____ from the top of the mountain , the city looks beautiful .
A. Seen B. See C. Seeing D. To see
本题需综合运用语法知识,句子主语是the city , see与the city 之间存在“动宾”关系,故选用过去分词,如是“主谓”关系,则用现在分词。
(2) _____ something wrong with your composition8 .
A. There were B. There have had C. There seemed9 to be D. It seemed to
此题考查“There be …”句型结构,需注意be和后面的第一个主语在“数”上的一致,另要注意there be的变体形式,答案为C。
5.注意英汉表达习惯差异,排除母语干扰。
(1)—— Would10 you like another cup of coffee? —— ______, I've had enough.
A. No, thanks B. Yes , please C. No, I won't have it D. Yes, I won't to
此题考查英语口语习惯表达,通常西方人士想接受对方盛情时用“yes, please ”或用“No, thanks”,表拒绝。故答案为A。
(2) ——Do you think I could3 borrow11 your dictionary12 ? —— _______.
A. Yes ,you may borrow B. Yes , you could C. Yes, help yourself D. Yes, go on
本题结合语境,A. D均不符表达习惯。B中could不妥,应用can, help yourself意为“随意取用”,故C为正确选项。
【典例分析】
【例1】—It's getting late. I'm afraid I must be going13 now. —OK. .
A. however B. whatever C. whichever D. whenever
【解析】答案为D。考交际用语。客人要走,主人说OK,表明同意,下句应是“再见”,而不能说“别着急”(A),“再呆一会儿”(C)。至于慢走(B)属中国式英语,故选D项,See you 是再见的意思。
【例2】Let's keep to the point or we any decisions14.
A. will never reach B. have never reached
C. never reach D. never reached
【解析】答案为A。全句意为:咱们还是抓住要点(别跑题),否则就永远得不出结论(做不出决定),故选将来时。
【例3】The English play my students acted15 at the New Year's party was a great success16.
A. for which B. at which C. in which D. on which
【解析】答案为C。考定语从句。主句部分应是The English play at the New Year's party was a great success.从句补全为独立句子应是my students acted in the play.所以应选in which,其余介词不妥。
【例4】When you come here for your holiday next time, don't go to hotel; I can find you bed in my flat.
A. the; a B. the; 不填 C. a; the D. a; 不填
【解析】答案为A。本题考冠词。前一空表类别,填定冠词或不定冠词均可。后一空只能填不定冠词,表泛指。全句合理的解释是:下次你来度假时,别去旅店;我能在我的公寓为你找张床。故选A。
【例5】Roses need special care they can live through winter.
A. because B. so that C. even17 if D. as
【解析】答案为B。本题考状语从句。全句意为:玫瑰花需要特殊关心,以便过冬
(为了安全度过冬天)。其余选项不合逻辑。
【例6】—How about eight o'clock outside the cinema?
— That me fine.
A. fits B. meets C. satisfies D. suits
【解析】答案为D。本题考交际用语和动词辨析。第一人提建议:八点钟在电影院外(见面)如何?第二人答:对我适合(表同意)。A项多指衣服合身。B项多指满足需求。C项指使满足、使满意。D项指适合某人或某情况。故D项最佳。
【例7】I like in the autumn when the weather is clear18 and bright.
A. this B. that C. it D. one
【解析】答案为C。本句考惯用法及代词。Like是及物动词,需要宾语。此处“it”指模糊的情形或环境,无具体指代,其余项均不可。又如:I like it here(我喜欢这儿)。
【例8】Sarah, hurry up. I'm afraid you wouldn't have time to before the party.
A. get changed B. get change C. get changing D. get to change
【解析】答案为A。本题考系表结构和非谓语动词。“get changed”是换衣服的意思,“changed”是过去分词作表语,就像“get dressed”(穿衣服)和“be seated”(就座)一样。
【例9】—Isn't that Ann's husband19 over there?
—No, it be him I'm sure he doesn't wear glasses.
A. can't B. must not C. won't D. may not
【解析】答案为A。本题考情态动词表推测。问:那边的难道不是Ann的丈夫吗?答:不是。不可能是他,我确信他不戴眼镜。
【例10】My mind20 wasn't on what he was saying21 so I'm afraid I ____ half of it.
A. was missing B. had missed C. will miss D. missed
【解析】答案为D。本句考时态和语境。全句意思是:我的心没在他说的话上,所以恐怕他说的话我有一半没听到。整个事情是过去的事,且是做过的事,所以选一般过去时D。
【例11】You are saying that everyone should be equal22, and this is ____ I disagree23.
A. why B. where C. what D. how
【解析】答案为B。本题考宾语从句。Disagree是不及物动词,不缺宾语,也主不能填代词,排除C。其余三项均在引导名词性从句时作状语,但句意要求:这就是我不赞同的地方。缺地点状语,所以用B。
【例12】You can take anything from the shelf and read, but please ____ the books when you've finished24 with them.
A. put on B. put down C. put back D. put off
【解析】答案为C。本题考短语动词。题意要求“把书放回去”,自然选“put back”。
【例13】Mary kept weighing25 herself26 to see how much ____ she was getting.
A. heavier B. heavy C. the heavier D. the heaviest
【解析】答案为A。考比较级。句意为:Mary总是称自己的体重,看看(比过去)重了多少。要使用比较级,但不需要冠词。
【例14】—Susan, will you please go and empty that drawer27?
— ____?
A. What for B. What is it C. How is it D. How come
【解析】答案为A。本题考省略及语境。语意为:—Susan,去把那个抽屉倒空好吗?—干吗?/为什么?答者不知为何要倒空抽屉,所以问为什么。故需选What for?它是What are you going to use the (empty)drawer for?的省略,近于why的用法。其余选项不合语境。
【例15】I don't mind picking28 up your things from the store29. ____, the walk will do me good.
A. Sooner or later B. Still C. In time D. Besides
【解析】答案为D。本题考副词及插入语,也考句子的承接关系。全句合理译为:我乐意(不介意)去商店取你的东西,再说/另外,走走路对我也有好处。所以要填Besides或What's more之类的内容才与上文承接合理。
