重點難點
1. Wow, the Great Wall is amazing, isn’t it? 哇，長城令人驚訝，是不是？
反意疑問句表示說話人對所陳述的事情有所懷疑或不肯定，想通過對方的回答來加以肯定或否定。
★反意疑問句的構成有兩種。第一種結構是：肯定的陳述句＋逗號＋一般疑問句的簡略否定＋問號，對于反意疑問句的肯定或否定回答與一般疑問句的回答方式一樣。如：
① “You are a teacher, aren’t you?” “Yes, I am. /No, I’m not.”
“你是個教師，是不是？”“是的。/不，我不是。”
② “She was here yesterday, wasn’t she?” “Yes, she was. /No, she wasn’t.”
“她昨天在這里，是不是？”“是的。/不，沒在。”
③ “They borrowed some money from you, didn’t they?” “Yes, they did. /No, they didn’t.”
“他們向你借了些錢，是不是？”“是的。/不，他們沒向我借錢。”
★第二種結構是：否定的陳述句＋逗號＋一般疑問句的簡略肯定＋問號。對于這種形式的反意疑問句作回答的時候，不要過分注重問句中的否定詞not在前還是在后，只要事實是肯定的，就用Yes，如事實是否定的，就用No。用Yes回答，后面就不能再用not，用No回答，后面就必須有not，這種情況與中文的表達習慣很不一樣。請注意下面例句中中英文在表達上的差異。
① “Your sister isn’t coming back today, is she?” “Yes, she is. /No, she isn’t.”
“你姐姐今天不會回來，是嗎？”“不，她今天會回來。/是的，她今天不會回來。”
② “You can’t do it well, can you?” “Yes, I can. /No, I can’t.”
“這事你做不好，是嗎？”“不，我能做好。/是的，我做不好。”
③ “There wasn’t a football game on TV last night, was there?”
“Yes, there was. /No, there wasn’t.”
“昨晚電視里沒有足球賽，是嗎？”“不，有足球賽。/是的，沒有。”
【注】在簡略回答中，如果主語有變化，并用but在語氣上加以轉折，也會出現用Yes和not搭配以及用No而不用not的情況。如：
① “Your father isn’t a doctor, is he?” “No, but my mother is.”
“你父親不是個醫生，是嗎？”“對，不過我母親是個醫生。”
② “Most of you aren’t from Beijing, are you?” “Yes, but I’m not. /No, but I am.”
“你們大多數人不是北京人吧，是嗎？”
“不，大多數是，但我不是。/對，但我是北京人。”
★陳述句中含有never, few, little, hardly, nothing, nobody等具有否定含意的詞，后面疑問部分應用肯定形式。如：
① You never saw Mr King before, did you? 你以前從未見過金先生，是嗎？
② There are few apples left on the tree, are there? 樹上沒剩幾個蘋果了，是嗎？
③ He has little money for food, does he? 他幾乎沒錢買吃的，是嗎？
④ Little Mary can hardly walk by herself, can she? 小瑪麗還不太會自己走路，是嗎？
⑤ There’s nothing in that box, is there? 盒子里什么也沒有，是嗎？
⑥ Nobody saw you do it, did they？ 沒人看到你干這事吧，是嗎？
【注】在口語中，陳述部分一般用降調，但后面疑問部分可用升調，也可用降調。如疑問部分用升調，則表明提問者對陳述部分的真實性把握不大，希望對方來確定；如疑問部分用降調，則表明提問者對陳述部分的真實性有一定把握，只須對方來印證一下。

答案與提示
一、1. A consist是不及物動詞，和介詞of連用，不能用于被動語態。
2. B experience作“經驗”解時，是不可數名詞，作“經歷”解時，是可數名詞。此處experience意為“經驗”，是不可數名詞，因此，先排除A、D兩項。C項不符合題意。
3. A 本題主要考查too much和much too的區別。much too的中心詞是too，much修飾too，后接形容詞或副詞；too much的中心詞是much，too修飾much，too much修飾不可數名詞或單獨使用。difficult是形容詞，所以選A。C項的錯誤在于much用作副詞時只能修飾比較級；D項的such只能修飾名詞。
4. D everyday是形容詞，意思是“日常的”“每天的”，在句中作定語，修飾名詞；every day是副詞短語，意思是“每天”，在句中作狀語，修飾動詞。
5. C enough修飾形容詞或副詞時，通常位于形容詞或副詞的后面。(not) enough后接不定式表示“(不)夠……去做某事”。too…to do意為“太……以致不能”，不符合邏輯。故選C。
6. C 當hundred, thousand, million, billion等前面有具體數詞時，其后不可以加s，也不可以加of，故A、B和D三項不符合題意，可以排除，C項正確。反之，如果他們前面沒有具體的數詞，其后必須加s，也必須加of，構成hundreds of，thousands of, millions of, billions of短語，才可以用來修飾名詞。
7. B across指從表面“橫穿”；through指“從中間穿過”。根據句意應選B。
8. D 此題考查spend…(in) doing sth.句型，表示“做某事花了……時間”。故排除C項；take表示花費的時間時常用句型為：It takes/took sb. some time to do sth.，故排除A項；pay for…不能表示花費時間，故選D項。
9. C 在too…to結構中，當句子主語是后面動詞不定式的邏輯賓語時，如果動詞不定式中的動詞是不及物動詞，要用介詞再接賓語。
10. B as在此作介詞，意為“作為”。介詞短語as a writer作狀語。
11. D although = though，意為“盡管”“雖然”，引導讓步狀語從句，不能和but或其他連詞連用。
12. D make a contribution to…意為“對……作出貢獻”。其中to為介詞，后跟名詞、代詞或動詞-ing形式作賓語。
13. A 反意疑問句的特點是前肯后否，前否后肯。當陳述部分的主語是表示“物”的不定代詞(something, everything, etc)時，反問部分的主語應該為it。
14. C 反意疑問句的特點是前肯后否，前否后肯。依據nobody為否定詞，可以排除B項和D項。同時，當陳述部分的主語是表示“人”的不定代詞(somebody, everybody, etc)時，反問部分的主語應該為they。所以C選項正確。
15. C a few修飾可數名詞，a little修飾不可數名詞，ice water為不可數名詞，所以排除A和B項。另外，表示“在原有基礎之上增加”應用“數詞 + more + 名詞”或“another +數詞+名詞”，所以選C項。
16. A used to do sth.是指過去習慣做某事。選項C若改為was used to staying (習慣于……)也合題意。
17. B find sb. /sth. doing sth.，意為“發現……正在做某事/處于某種狀語”，動詞-ing形式在此作賓補。
18. B go on a trip to…意思是“去……旅行”。
19. D be famous for意為“以……而著名”。
20. D 祈使句的反意疑問句除Let’s開頭的用shall we之外，其他的都用will you，故選D。
21. C more意為“額外的”，前面可以用數詞或no, some, much, many等修飾。故選C。
22. D be amazed at…表示“對……感到驚愕”，at此處表示某種情緒的起因。B項介詞搭配錯誤；A、C兩項缺少連系動詞be。
23. A each后可直接跟of短語，表示“……中每個”，謂語動詞用單數形式；every作形容詞用，修飾可數名詞的單數形式，不能直接與of連用，所以選A。
24. B 此句意思為“他剛才把書放在書架上了”。lay表示“放置”的意思，其過去式和過去分詞都是laid。a moment ago表示應該用過去時，故選B。
25. D 本句的意思為“他既有知道又有經驗”。末尾的副詞應該表示“也”的意思。而用于肯定句末尾的“也”只能用too或as well。但如用too的話，一般應用逗號將它和前面的句子隔開。故選用as well。
26. C carry sb. to safety意為“把……抱到安全地帶”，其中to為介詞，后需跟名詞safety作賓語。
27. C 表示“盡可能地……”可以用as…as possible或as…as one can。A項是錯誤的表達，首先排除。B、C、D三項中B項表示速度之快；C項表示時間之快；D項表示動作之迅速。根據題意選C項。
28. C 請注意區別以下短語：no more than意為“僅僅”；not more than意為“不多于”；more than意為“不僅是”“超出”；not less than意為“不少于”。句意為“她不僅是我們的老師，她還是我們的朋友。”
29. D so far常和現在完成時連用，本句主語是buildings，故使用被動語態。
30. D 句子主語machine與use是被動關系，后跟動詞不定式表示目的。

6. death 7. peace 8. beauty 9. across 10. staying
11. invited 12. playing 13. attraction 14. building 15. amazing
