中考英语陷阱题分析(一)

中考年年考，难题人人议。因为陷阱题，考后空留遗憾的不在少数。本文归纳了一些陷阱题，希望同学们不要重蹈覆辙。

1.[误]―Would you like some coffee?

―Yes, and please get me some milk ,too. I prefer coffee to milk.

[正]―Would you like some coffee?

―Yes, and please get me some milk ,too. I prefer coffee with milk.

[析]误句前后矛盾。“I prefer coffee to milk．”意为“我喜欢咖啡而不喜欢牛奶”。“I prefer coffee with milk．”意为“我喜欢加了牛奶的咖啡”。

2.[误]They knew the sun was much bigger than the earth then.

[正]They knew the sun is much bigger than the earth then.

[析]当宾语从句是真理时用一般现在时，无须和主句时态保持一致。如：

She said that one and one makes two. I knew that light travels faster than sound.

3.[误]Wouldn’t you like any tea, either?

[正]Wouldn’t you like some tea ,too?

[析]否定式问句表示肯定的意思。表示肯定的意思的时some不要改成any，此时用too,不能用either，如：Where have they planted some trees?(树已栽好)Can’t you see I’ve got teeth,too?

4.[误]Nobody likes that dog, doesn’t he?

[正] Nobody likes that dog, do they/does he?

[析]陈述句的主语是everybody，everyone，somebody，someone，no one等时，反意疑问句的主语用they(或he)，如：No one is interested in that, are they?如果陈述句的主语是 something，nothing，everything等时，反意疑问句的主语用it。反意疑问句前半部分用否定，后半部分要用肯定。注意下面的例句：She’s unhappy,isn’t she?(否定前缀算作肯定)

5.[误]Do you know what the matter is with him?

[正]Do you know what is the matter with him?

[析]例句的意思是：“你知道他发生了什么事情?”what是宾语从句的主语。“Do you know what the matter is?”的意思是“你知道这个物质是什么?”what是宾语从句的表语。在宾语从句中必须用陈述句语序，即主谓宾语序。

6.[误]The film has begun for an hour.

[正]The film has been on for an hour.

[析]常见的终止性动词与延续性动词的对应关系如下：begin―be on, finish―be over, become―be, borrow―keep, buy―have, come (go, get, arrive)―be here(there), die―be dead, fall asleep(ill)―be asleep(ill), leave―be away(from), get up―be up, get to know―know, lose―be lost(missing), catch a cold―have a cold, join―be a member of (be in)。

7.[误]I went to bed until 11 yesterday.

[正]I didn’t go to bed until 11 yesterday.

[析]当主句动词为终止动词时，用“not…until”结构，表示“直到……才”。如： Don’t get off the bus until it stops.当动词为延续性动词时，主句谓语动词用肯定式或否定式都可以。如：(1)I’ll wait until 12.(2)I won’t be back till next month.(3)I won’t come between August 5 and 9.不能说成:I won’t come until August 5 and 9.因为until只接点时间，不接段时间。

8.[误] While I came in, he was singing.

[正] When I came in, he was singing.

[析]while引导的从句动词多用延续性动词，表示主、从句动作同时进行。另外，在下句中，while意为“而、却”，表示对比、对照。She can do it while I can’t．

9.[误] Why did you keep quiet when you spoke to?

[正] Why did you keep quiet when you were spoken to?

[析]例句的意思是：“当有人跟你讲话时，你为什么保持沉默?”因为you是动作承受对象，所以用被动语态。如：（1）The work can be finished in a few hours’ time. (2)He was never heard to say‘ Thank you’ in his life. (3)He was found crying in the street when night fell. (4)I won’t come unless Jenny is invited.(5)When water is heated, it will change into vapor.

10.[误] How can we do more work with few people and little time?

[正] How can we do more work with fewer people and less time?

[析]例句的意思是：“我们如何能够用较少的人和较少的时间干更多的工作?”more的反义词是fewer或less。注意:few尽管表否定，但还须接名词复数。如：He’s a man of few words.他是一个沉默寡言的人。

11.[误] Neither you nor I are Party memberes.

[正] Neither you nor I am a party member.

[析]英文中neither…nor…，either…or…，not only…but also…连接的两个部分作主语时，动词必须采用就近一致的原则，也就是“看后不看前”。另外，主语后接with，together with, but, except, like, unlike,as well as等采取语法一致、与介词短语前面的主语一致，也就是“看前不看后”。如：(1)I with my friends am going there. (2)Are either you or he a student? (3)Dr Smith,together with his wife and two sons, is to arrive on the evening flight.
