[初三] 2002年全国中学生英语能力竞赛初赛初三组试题单项选择题解答

I．单项选择（Multiple-choice test）

A）选择可以替代下列划线部分的最佳选项或句中划线部分的最佳解释。

1．Would you like me to help you choose a new dress for the dance？

A．try on B．pick out C．put away D．put up

选B。choose与pick out都有“挑选”的意思。try on指“试穿”，put away指“收起”，put up指“挂起；张贴”。

2．The following evening they met at the end of the bridge．

A．first B．second C．last D．next

选D。following与next均可指“下一个；接着的”，其余三项表达的顺序与此不同。

3．Mother has been to the farm．She has not a few apples in her basket．

A．a few B．some C．many D．several

选C。not a few与a good few都是习语，意思是“不少；相当多”，相当于 many。又如：not a bit“一点儿也不”；not a little“很多”，相当于much。

4．—Have you seen the film？

—Yes，I have．I can catch the whole of the film．

A．get all the idea of B．take all of

C．look at whole of D．know something about

选A。句中的catch相当于understand。又如：I don't catch your meaning．我不明白你的意思。get all the idea of与划线处意思接近。

5．Wait and see，he will turn the table some day．

A．变换桌子B．发脾气C．踢翻桌子D．扭转形势

选D。做这种词意猜测题，首先想办法排除划线部分词语含有明显字面意思的选项，要想到这种词语的引申涵义。题干中的table并不一定指“桌子”，故排除A和C。题干里的动词turn与“发脾气”没有太大关系，结合句意，取“扭转”之意更确切。

B）选择最佳选项填空。

6．The two new doctors in that hospital have already read        newspaper．

A．today B．todays' C．todays D．today's

选D。此题考查名词所有格知识，'s属格可用于表示时间、距离、重量、价值的名词。又如：ten minutes' walk，a week's holiday等。

7．Neither Joseph nor his cousin        to Canada，but they know the country very well．

A．have visited B．is gone C．has been D．has gone

选C。此题既考查了neither．．．nor连接主语时的主谓一致问题，又考查了 has been to与has gone to的区别。根据主语由neither．．．nor连接时的就近原则，此题谓语动词应用单数形式，由句意可知他们未曾去过加拿大，应用has been。

8．—Will you please        us a story，Mr Smith？

—OK．Shall I        it in English or in Chinese？

A．say；speak B．talk；speak C．tell；tell D．talk；say

选C。这里考查的是关于“说”的几个易混动词的用法。“讲故事”往往用tell a story，由此可排除其余各项。

9．My wife often forgets        the door，but she remembered        it when she left yesterday．

A．closing；close B．to close；close

C．closing；to close

D．to close；closing

选D。此题考查forget与remember后接to do和doing时的不同涵义及用法。此二词后接to do时一般表示“忘记／记得去做某事”，而接doing时，则表示“忘记／记得做过了某事”。

10．—He seems terribly ill．Is there anything serious？

—No，he'll be all right soon．       ．

A．I'll have a look at it

B．I'm sure of that

C．I've done that

D．I have no idea

选B。此题要求选择一句话，通过对话形式考查语境的理解能力。be sure of表示“确信……”。
