近年高考各地英語(yǔ)試題均出現(xiàn)一類要求考生匹配前后句子的試題。這類試題最大特點(diǎn)是給出首句或尾句，要求考生補(bǔ)全句子，補(bǔ)全后的句子意義完整、形式照應(yīng)、邏輯清楚、句法正確、銜接自然。句式匹配是綜合考查考生語(yǔ)言應(yīng)用能力、分析問(wèn)題和解決問(wèn)題能力的具體體現(xiàn)。這類試題共呈現(xiàn)出以下六種類型：

一、句式型匹配

涉及特定句式的認(rèn)知和匹配，如祈使句、條件句、倒裝句等。這類試題側(cè)重考查考生對(duì)句型的理解和把握能力，要求補(bǔ)全的句子在在形式上保持照應(yīng)，符合特定的句型特征。

【例1】______and Ill get the work finished. (2006NMET重慶卷)

A. Have one more hour B. One more hour

C. Given one more hourD. If I have one more hour

答案與解析：B。此題考查祈使句的識(shí)別與匹配。祈使句常見句型—?jiǎng)釉~原形或名詞詞組+andor（或破折號(hào)）+謂語(yǔ)用將來(lái)時(shí)或情態(tài)動(dòng)詞的陳述句。若將題干中and 刪除，選項(xiàng)C和D 也可入選。祈使句的主語(yǔ)通常為you且省略，故答案A與后半句相矛盾，若將have改為give則A選項(xiàng)亦對(duì)。

【例2】—We have so much work to do. _____he doesnt come?

—Dont worry. With Mrs. Green to help us, we can do without him.

A. How aboutB. Why notC. What ifD. How come

答案與解析：C。考查句式匹配，what if…后續(xù)從句，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞使用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)表將來(lái)，譯作“萬(wàn)一……怎么辦或……怎么樣”，表假設(shè)或征詢對(duì)方的意見。句意：我們有很多工作要做，萬(wàn)一他不來(lái)怎么辦；若將題干中doesnt改為hasnt，答案則選D項(xiàng)，how come(that)后續(xù)從句，表示對(duì)已發(fā)生事件的迷惑，譯作“怎么會(huì)”。句意：我們有很多工作要做，他怎么會(huì)到現(xiàn)在還不來(lái)呢?這里對(duì)這類句型加以總結(jié)：How come that…?/Why not do…?/What if…?/How about if…?/How do you like…?Who do you suggest…?/What do you think of…?

二、諺語(yǔ)型匹配

固定俗語(yǔ)在特定場(chǎng)合下的運(yùn)用，不僅可以潤(rùn)色語(yǔ)句，還發(fā)人深思，啟迪智慧。這類試題不僅考查考生對(duì)語(yǔ)言背景的理解，還綜合考查考生分析問(wèn)題和解決問(wèn)題的能力。

【例3】—It took me ten years to build up my business, and it almost killed me.

—Well, you know what they say._____. (2006NMET江蘇卷)

A. There is no smoke without fire B. Practice makes perfect

C. All roads lead to Rome D. No pains, no gains.

答案與解析：D。此題考查句意理解和諺語(yǔ)的匹配。解題關(guān)鍵是弄清題意，明白諺語(yǔ)自身的意義和使用場(chǎng)合。A選項(xiàng)：無(wú)火不生煙；B選項(xiàng)：熟能生巧；C選項(xiàng)：條條大路通羅馬；D選項(xiàng)：不勞無(wú)獲。故只有D選項(xiàng)符合題意。又如：

You may not have played very well today, but at least youve got through to the next round and tomorrow is another day. (2007 NMET江蘇卷)

三、句法型匹配

要求考生根據(jù)句法知識(shí)，如并列關(guān)系、主從關(guān)系來(lái)匹配句子，補(bǔ)全后的句子符合句法知識(shí)。此類試題主要涉及并列句和主從復(fù)合句的認(rèn)知與匹配。解題時(shí)要充分考慮標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號(hào)以及連詞的暗示作用，它們暗示不同的句子結(jié)構(gòu)，代表不同的句子關(guān)系。

【例4】Faced with a bill for＄10,000, ______. (陜西2006NMET)

A. John has taken an extra jobB. the boss has given John an extra job

C. an extra job has been takenD. an extra job has been given to John

答案與解析：A。此題考查句式匹配。非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的邏輯主語(yǔ)應(yīng)與后一分句的主語(yǔ)保持一致。解題關(guān)鍵是找準(zhǔn)邏輯主語(yǔ)并確保一致。非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞作狀語(yǔ)常見形式為：直接以-ed/ing形式打頭或 “連詞+-ed/ing形式”兩種。

【例5】_____everything in good order, so she decided to watch TV in the sofa.

A. After she had putB. Having been put

C. She had putD. Having put

答案與解析：C。前后句通過(guò)并列連詞連接，可判斷為并列句，故不存在從屬關(guān)系，排除答案ABD。

四、意義型匹配

考生不必過(guò)多地考慮句法知識(shí)和句型搭配，主要依賴前后句句意來(lái)匹配句子，使補(bǔ)全后的句子意義相承、關(guān)聯(lián)、完整。

【例6】—Shes really pretty, isnt she? Her skin looks so baby smooth!

—Well, its just that she puts lots of make-up on her face.______ (原創(chuàng)模擬)

A. Sometimes I wish I could be as beautiful as her.

B. Actually, natural beauty comes from within.

C. I cant believe she is still so pretty after giving birth to a baby!

D. Fortunately, she has a good income.

答案與解析：B。從答語(yǔ)just可以看出說(shuō)話者不屑一顧。故只有B 項(xiàng)才能使句意完整，銜接自然。

【例7】—Jim, you are not coming back to our class next term?

—____.

A. No. Much remains to be done in my subjects

B. Yes. I feel so tired and I need a holiday.

C. No. All my classes have been completed

D. Yes. Im going to study in another school next term

答案與解析：C。若反意疑問(wèn)句陳述部分為否定形式，附加部分則采用肯定形式?；卮饡r(shí)注意對(duì)等，即yes后接肯定結(jié)構(gòu)而no后接否定結(jié)構(gòu)，翻譯時(shí)與漢語(yǔ)相反。C項(xiàng)句意：是，所有的課程都學(xué)完了。

五、情景型匹配

據(jù)說(shuō)話時(shí)的場(chǎng)合和情境，恰當(dāng)選擇交際用語(yǔ)以完成簡(jiǎn)單的語(yǔ)言交際。這類試題提供說(shuō)話情景。

【例8】—Would you like to join us in the game?

—______, for I have something to attend to. (福建2008NMET)

A. I willB.Id like toC. I wont D. Im afraid not

答案與解析：D。Im afraid not表示委婉的否定或謝絕，譯作“恐怕不是(不行)”。類似的，Id like/love to…but…；Thanks…but…；Sounds great… but…均表示委婉謝絕。 若將題干for 改為but，答案則選B。

【例9】—Drink for the great moment, will you?

—_____.Its years since I last drank.

A. Yes, I couldnt agree more B. Sounds good

C. Just a little, please D. No, thanks

答案與解析：D。句意：不，謝謝。我已多年不喝酒。在since-分句中，從句謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞若為延續(xù)性動(dòng)詞或狀態(tài)動(dòng)詞，翻譯時(shí)應(yīng)從動(dòng)作結(jié)束時(shí)算起。

六、邏輯型匹配

此類試題側(cè)重考查考生分析前后句邏輯關(guān)系的能力，這種邏輯關(guān)系客觀、符合常理，不牽強(qiáng)附會(huì)。

【例10】Having been attacked by terrorists, ____. (上海2004NMET )

A. doctors came to their rescue B. the tall building collapsed

C. an emergency measure was taken D. warnings were given to tourists

答案與解析：B。此題考查句式匹配。非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞having been attacked 的邏輯主語(yǔ)應(yīng)與后一分句的主語(yǔ)the tall building 保持呼應(yīng)。這樣邏輯才能成立。前后句通過(guò)邏輯紐帶聯(lián)系起來(lái)，這是匹配句式的主要依據(jù)之一。

總上所述，高考命題者在設(shè)計(jì)句子匹配試題時(shí)，可能會(huì)考慮各種類型的相互滲透，趨向綜合。故考生在作答此類試題時(shí)要慎重考慮形式、功用、意義、邏輯、語(yǔ)境和語(yǔ)言習(xí)慣。

—_________, but I promised Nancy to go out with her. (2008NMET)

A. Id like to B. I like itC. I dont D. I will

答案與解析：

1. C。此題考查句式結(jié)構(gòu)的識(shí)別以及前后句邏輯關(guān)系。only置于句首強(qiáng)調(diào)狀語(yǔ)時(shí)使用倒裝。

從句法分析上便可排除選項(xiàng)ABD。

2. A。眾人拾柴火焰高。

3. D。此題考查祈使句的識(shí)別及句首動(dòng)詞的選用。并列連詞and表明前后句為并列關(guān)系，故

排除前三個(gè)選項(xiàng)。

4. A。結(jié)合逗號(hào)和邏輯主語(yǔ)考慮排除選項(xiàng)B和C；若將答案D項(xiàng)所有格刪除亦對(duì)。虛擬語(yǔ)

氣在if-條件狀語(yǔ)從句中的用法，其中if被省略。

5. B。前后邏輯主語(yǔ)不一致，不使用非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞作狀語(yǔ)。中間只使用逗號(hào)連接，前后句為主

從關(guān)系。

6. B。據(jù)邏輯關(guān)系，可排除選項(xiàng)A。非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞作狀語(yǔ)，前后句邏輯主語(yǔ)應(yīng)保持一致；從句

法上分析，排除選項(xiàng)C和D。

7. D。此題考查句式匹配。非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞to make 的邏輯主語(yǔ)應(yīng)與后一分句的主語(yǔ)we保持一

致。

8. C。此題考查句式的前后匹配。no matter how或however可引導(dǎo)狀語(yǔ)從句，故排除選項(xiàng)A

和D；B選項(xiàng)應(yīng)在how后加much。

9. A。此題考查獨(dú)立主格結(jié)構(gòu)，涉及非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞邏輯主語(yǔ)的認(rèn)知。前后句用逗號(hào)隔開，后一

分句為主句，故被匹配的句子一定是從句，使用非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞作狀語(yǔ)，非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞邏輯

主語(yǔ)為there。

10. B。此題考查句式匹配。前后句用逗號(hào)隔開，故判斷前一分句為從句。no matter不可直

接引導(dǎo)從句；whatever后接名詞，而however后接形容詞或副詞。11. 答案A。從句

法和功用上考慮，只能選擇名詞性從句充當(dāng)主語(yǔ)。

12. D。前后兩個(gè)分句由and連接，在結(jié)構(gòu)和形式上應(yīng)保持一致。第一分句以動(dòng)名詞打頭，

故第二分句也應(yīng)與此保持一致。

13. C。山中無(wú)老虎,猴子稱大王。

14. B。此題綜合考查考生對(duì)句式結(jié)構(gòu)的認(rèn)知。no hope與no way構(gòu)成并列，由with引出，

合為一個(gè)狀語(yǔ)從句；her pain and suffering from the terrible disease構(gòu)成并列關(guān)系，作動(dòng)

詞reduce的賓語(yǔ)，其余答案不適合。

15. A。中心詞為名詞scene，故選用what連接，名詞前再接限定詞。

16. D。此題考查考生正確運(yùn)用倍數(shù)句型的能力，即n times the +n. of…句型。

17. C。此題考查句型的識(shí)別。在句型“It is +required +that從句”中，從句謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用“should+

動(dòng)詞原形”。

18. B。此題涉及省略和語(yǔ)序。補(bǔ)充完整的句子為：We all know that, if it is not carefully dealt

with…。

19. B。此題考查前置。as引導(dǎo)讓步狀語(yǔ)從句時(shí)，將作表語(yǔ)的名詞詞組前置即可，注意名詞

前省略冠詞。前置和倒裝在形式上最大的特點(diǎn)就是詞序的改變，依此可匹配句式。

20. A。交際用語(yǔ)“Id like toI meant to…but”表示“我想去（本打算），但……”。
