【真题详解】

1. Aeither指两者中的任一each指两者或两者以上中的每一one用来替代“a / an +单数可数名词it替代“the +单数名词

2. C。从I really don’t mind.可知,teacoffee两者中任何一种都行。指两者中任一,用either,用both都不,用neither。指两者以上的任一,用any,用all都不,用none

3. B。由I’m afraid (恐怕、对不起)可知,MondayTuesday两天都不行。

4. C。三者中的任一,用any

5. B。根据语境,指你喜欢的任何一天,所以选anyone day指过去或将来的某一天some day指将来的某一天another day另一天、改日

6. C。关键词是allbut

7. C。此处的all=the only thing“惟一的事()”。有时all=everythingAll / Everything I have belongs to you.

8. Aanother后一般只能接单数可数名词,但可跟数词或few +复数名词another two weeks = a further two weeks = two other / more weeks。在19952000年的NMET中都考过another的这种用法。

9. A。考点同8题。another $15就是another 15 dollars

10. Csome…others…一些另一些the other指两者中的另一个some other后必须接名词;没有these others这样的说法。

11. C。句意为:Sarah读过美国作家的许多故事,现在她想读一些别的国家的作家的作品。

12. Dwheat是不可数名词,前三个答案只能指代可数名词,而the rest既可指代可数名词也可指代不可数名词。

13. A。句意为:新的规章制度奏效吗?奏效,几乎没什么书被盗了。none后要加of才对。

14. A。因为not…everything构成部分否定,与前一分句意思相符;而not…anything=nothing,与前一分句意思矛盾;something通常不用于否定句。

15. Cthat=the one=the pleasure。而those=the ones=the pleasures与其后的修饰语不符。此外,that还可替代不可数名词,而one, the one(s), those则不可以。如The weather here is better than that in Beijing.

16. B。尽管后面有一定语从句修饰,但仍须用one,因为onean unforgettable moment的同位语,能替代“a / an +名词的只能是one。又如Cook was a strict but good captain, one who took good care of the sailors on his ship.

17. C。替代“a / an +名词one。此处one= a break

18. Dit替代“the+名词,指前面提到的同一事物,此处指the Parkers所买的那座新房子;one(s)一般只指同类事物。此题若去掉but,就用which

19. A。反身代词作宾语、表语时,须与主语一致;作主语或宾语的同位语时,须与主语或宾语一致。此处,作主语they的同位语,所以用themselves

20. D。此句是Why do you ask me to go and join…?之省略。另外,me还可在简略回答中或感叹疑问句中作主语。如:

(1) ―Who wants a ride on my bike? ―Me! / Not me!

(2) ―I like swimming. ―Me too.

(3) ―You can tell him. ―Me tell him? Not likely!

21. Ablame(责备)是及物动词,排除副词whenhow。该受责备的是打碎玻璃的人,故用who

22. A。指上文提到的事通常用that,指下文将要叙述的事用thisit指时间。
