高考試題賞析
There is nothing more I can try ____ you to stay, so I wish you good luck.
A. being persuaded B. persuading
C. to be persuaded D. to persuade
賞析:I can try ____ you to stay為定語從句,修飾先行詞nothing,省略了作try賓語的關(guān)系代詞that,選項(xiàng)to persuade在定語從句中作目的狀語。答案:D
[發(fā)散思維]persuasion n.說服,勸說,信服 persuasive adj.有說服力的,令人信服的
辨析:persuade與convince
persuade和convince兩者均為 “說服”,前者著重感情上的“督促,勸告”,后者著重理智方面的“辯論,證明”,兩者結(jié)構(gòu)相同。persuade(convince)sb. that/of sth.意為“說服某人……”。
He persuaded me that it was not worth buying.
他說服我說那東西不值得買。

賞析:該題考查“only+不定式”的用法。此短語用于指“隨即發(fā)生的事,尤指使人驚訝、失望的事情”。句意為“他匆匆忙忙趕到售票處,卻被告知票已全部售完”。tell的邏輯主語是he,它們之間構(gòu)成動(dòng)賓關(guān)系。答案:B

7.Many governments use ad campaigns to make people aware of social problems and government policies.
許多政府部門也采用廣告作宣傳,以使人民關(guān)注社會(huì)問題和政府的政策。
make people aware of中的aware of相當(dāng)于形容詞,作make的賓補(bǔ),make后可加形容詞、名詞、不定式(省略to)、現(xiàn)在分詞、過去分詞等作它的賓補(bǔ)。

賞析:make sb. do sth.讓某人做某事,故用動(dòng)詞原形feel作賓補(bǔ);feel作系動(dòng)詞,后跟形容詞作表語;well作形容詞講時(shí),意為“身體健康”,不合題意。答案:D
8.It is not always easy to spot a bad ad, but there are a few things we can look out for.
要識(shí)別壞廣告并不總是一件容易的事,但也還有些情況是我們可以提防的。
