2008届高考英语二轮专项复习单项选择题及详解 第二套

1.— Why didn’t you come to Mike’s birthday party yesterday?
    — Well, I ____, but I forgot it.
A. should  B. must C. should have   D. must have
 选C。should have的后面省略了come。should have come表示“本应该而实际上没有”。

2.A computer is so useful a machine ________ we can use everywhere.
 A. that   B. which  C. as  D. what
选C。本题考查句子结构和关系代词的选用。首先表示认清句子结构，use后面应该接一个及物动词，先行词应该充当宾语，而前面出现so useful不能用that与which来修饰，可以排除。另外，what 不能引导定语从句。

3. You are really very kind. I’ll never forget the      you have done to me.
A. favour      B. deed
C. help        D. good
选A。本题主要是对词义及搭配的考查。favor的意思是“恩惠，善意的行为”。do sb. a favor或do a favor for sb. 的意思是“帮某人一个忙”，因此本题的正确答案选A。

4. He arrived here at noon,      in the day, and he went out and came back      in the day.
A. late; late      B. late; later
C. later; late      D. later; later
选C。later 为副词，意为“后来”，come back late “回来晚了”。

5. ______ part that women _______ in society is great.
A. The; play  B. A; take  C. A; play  D. The; take
  选A。词组paly… a part in（起……的作用）分开使用了。Part在这里是特指，由定语从句所修饰，所以用the。

6. He’s unlucky, and he’s always suffering _____ luck one after another.
A. a sick     B. an ill     C. sick     D. ill
选D。 ill意为“生病”不可作定语；但意为“坏的，恶劣的”可作定语，在此修饰不可数名词luck。

7. ---Why did you put the wood near the fire? It’s dangerous.
  ---Don’t worry. Wet wood won’t _______.
 A. burnt  B. be burnt  C. be burning  D. burn
  选D。容易选B。本题考查动词的主动形式表示被动含义的用法。Burn可以用主动形式表示被动意义。类似的动词还有read, write, sell, open等。

8. Mother made a promise ____ I passed the college entrance examination she would buy me a mobile phone.
A. that   B. if that   C. that if   D. that whether
选C。 名词promise后是同位语从句，用that引导；if引导条件状语从句。

9.Everything depends on ________ we have enough time.
 A. that  B. how  C. if  D. whether
 选D。介词之后以及动词discuss之后的宾语从句一般用whether，而不用if来引导。

10.Personally I think it is the sales manager, rather than the sales girls, _______ to blame.
 A. is  B. that is  C. are  D. who are
选B。rather than与the sales girls形成比较结构，去掉rather than the sales girl旧可以看出宾语从句实际上是一个强调句，被强调的部分是宾语从句中的主语the sales manager，后面的rather than the sales girls也对句子谓语动词形式的选择形成了一定的干扰。考虑到主谓一致的原则，应该选B。

11.I can hardly imagine so pretty girl like you ________ boxing.
 A. like  B. to like  C. liking  D. to have liked
选C。本句中的so pretty和like you都是用来修饰限定a girl的。本句可以简化为：I can imagine a girl liking boxing.即，考查imagine sb doing sth结构。

12.______ he told us is the news _______ China has got 32 gold medals in the 28th Olympic Games in Athens, _________, of course, made the nations feels very excited.
 A. What; which; which  B. That; that; which
 C. What; that; which    D. That; that; what
 选C。第一空用what作told的宾语构成主语从句； 第二个空用that引导同位语从句，说明the news的具体内容；第三个空用which引导一个非限制性定语从句，先行词为前面整个句子所表达的内容。

13.--- Can you attend tomorrow’s meeting?
  --- I am sorry, but I will have too much work ______.
 A. to see to to come  B. seeing to come
 C. to see to coming   D. doing to come
 选A。to see to与have too much work搭配，即：have too much work to see to (有太多的工作要处理)，其中see to（处理，照看）为不定式作定语，修饰work.不定式to come与much前的too搭配，构成too…to句型表示“太……而不能”的意思。

14.In my opinion, all Mr Tom ______ good to his students in his class at present. He is very strict in their study.
 A. does does does    B. does do do
 C. does does do      D. did do does
 选C。Mr Tom does为定语从句修饰all,后面的does do是谓语动词的强调形式。Do good to是“对…….有好处”的意思。

15.Elbert Einstein, for ______ life had once been very hard, was successful later in science .
 A. whom  B. whose  C. which  D. his
 选A。容易选B。原因是受思维定势的影响认为whose life是一个整体。定语从句的主语应该是life， 本句可以改写为: life had once been very hard for him, 所以在定语从句中介词for还缺少了一个宾语。所以选A。

16.______ I had done it I knew I had made a mistake.
 A. Hardly  B. Directly  C. Mostly  D. Nearly
 选B。第一眼看四个词从形式上看都是以-ly结尾的形容词，但从句子结构看，空白处需要填连词。但不少学生受hardly…when…影响，可能很容易选A。其实，directly/immediately等少数副词具有连词的功能用来连接两个句子，意思是“一…….就…..”，相当于as soon as, the moment等用法。

17.I began to fish before memory began, _______ I know I have always fished.
 A. so far  B. so as far as  C. as far as  D. so
  选B。本题中逗号前是一个主从复合句，后面也是主从复合句，因此其间需要一个并列连词，so 是并列连词，B，D两项中有so,如果选D，I know后面的部分成了宾语从句，不符合题意。而B项的so连接两个分句，as far as为I know的从属连接词，故B为正确答案。

18.---Spacecraft “Discovery” has failed in the course of launch.
  ----_______? They have been preparing for the test.
  A. How come  B. When  C. How  D. Why not
 选A。how come在这里的意思是“怎么回事？”，表示不解，惊讶。

19.This is the very toy car ________ which he came here the other day.
 A. by  B. in  C. for  D. on
 选C。容易误选A或B。根据常识，我们知道他是不可能坐toy car到这儿来的。所以选C。用for表示来的目的。

20.Children’s brains can’t develop properly_______ they lack protein(蛋白质).
 A. when  B. since  C. because  D. unless
 选A。本题考查when的一个特殊用法。在本题中的when引导的是一个条件状语从句，相当于if。整个句子的意思是：如果孩子缺少蛋白质
