Unit 10
[中考真題] (2008蘭州市) To my disappointment the teacher_______when I_______at his office.
A. left, had arrived B. left, arrived
C. had left, had arrived D. had left, arrived
[答案與簡析] 答案為D。 根據(jù)句意我們可知,老師“離開”這個動作發(fā)生在我“到達(dá)”之前。“到達(dá)”是過去的事情,那么“離開”就成了“過去的過去”,所以第一空填過去完成時had left, 第二空填一般過去時arrived。
[中考真題] (2008濰坊市) —Boys and girls! Please_______your compositions after class.
—Oh, my God! I_______it at home.
A. hand in; forgot B. hand in; left
C. hand out; forgot D. hand out; left
[答案與簡析] 答案為B。 hand in意為“上交”, hand out意為“分發(fā)”,不合題意。因此,可先排除C和D兩項(xiàng)。 forget意為“遺忘”,指忘記一件具體的東西,但不與具體的地點(diǎn)搭配。 leave意為“把某物遺忘在某處”,后面應(yīng)接具體的地點(diǎn)。答句中有地點(diǎn)狀語at home, 故第二個空白處應(yīng)填left。

A. too; to B. so; that

[中考真題] (2008天津市) The man also wrote_______of beautiful pieces of music for the orchestra.
A. hundred B. six hundred
C. a hundred D. hundreds
[答案與簡析] 答案為D。 hundred和具體的基數(shù)詞連用時,無需用復(fù)數(shù)形式,也不能在其后加of。 hundreds of意為“數(shù)以百計(jì)的”,其中的hundred要用復(fù)數(shù)形式,且后面還要加介詞of。
[中考真題] (2008重慶市) This is my twin sister Lucy. Both she and I_______good at drawing.
A. am B. is C. are D. be

—Come in, please. But could you please tell me_______ ?
A. why you are late again
B. what were you doing then
C. who you talked with
D. how do you come to school
[答案與簡析] 答案為A。 賓語從句中應(yīng)該主語在前,謂語在后。據(jù)此可先排除B、D兩項(xiàng)。根據(jù)上文中的“I'm sorry I am late”, 我們可以確定含空白處的句子問的是再次遲到的原因。

A. either; or B. neither; nor
C. both; and D. not only; but also
[答案與簡析] 答案為B。 A項(xiàng)意為“或者……或者……”, B項(xiàng)意為“既不……也不……”, C項(xiàng)意為“……和……兩者都”, D項(xiàng)意為“不但……而且……”。由第一句“These story books for children are awfully written”我們可知,兩個空白處應(yīng)該分別填neither和nor。
[中考真題] (2008南京市) —Why did Miss Wang look so worried when we saw her?
—Because she wondered_______ .
A. where did the other students go
B. when would the policeman come
C. what her students have done during the trip
D. if her students had survived the earthquake
[答案與簡析] 答案為D。 賓語從句中理應(yīng)主語在前,謂語在后。據(jù)此,可以排除A和B兩項(xiàng)。 wonder后面常接由if或whether引導(dǎo)的賓語從句,表示一種委婉的請求或疑問,根據(jù)句意及賓語從句中的時態(tài)呼應(yīng)規(guī)則,只有D項(xiàng)符合句義。
[中考真題] (2008宿遷市) Helen learns to dance three times a week. Now she dances_______Anita does.
A. so good as B. as well as
C. as good as D. so well as
[答案與簡析] 答案為B。 修飾動詞dances的應(yīng)為副詞,因此可排除A和C兩項(xiàng)。這是個肯定句,所以空白處只能填as well as。

[答案與簡析] 答案為C。 既然“This disabled girl needs our help”, 我們就有“理應(yīng)”為她做些事情。 “be supposed to do sth”可用來表達(dá)此意。
