為了培養(yǎng)同學(xué)們的發(fā)現(xiàn)問(wèn)題，分析問(wèn)題，和解決問(wèn)題的能力，命題人也常常出一些通過(guò)排除從而推知未知的東西的試題，而這我們要用排除法。

所謂排除法就是根據(jù)題目的要求，結(jié)合所學(xué)知識(shí)，排除題干中的冗余信息或者四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中的錯(cuò)誤選項(xiàng)，從而降低理解難度，縮小選擇范圍，快速明確答案，提高命中率。具體來(lái)說(shuō)有以下幾點(diǎn)：

一、排除題干中的冗余信息

這些冗余信息包括插入語(yǔ)、定語(yǔ)從句、伴隨狀語(yǔ)等：

1. John plays football ___, if not better than, David.

A. as well B. as well as C. so well D. so well as

解析：若能排除題干中的插入語(yǔ)。If not better than 此題難度則大大降低，該題考查副詞的比較等級(jí)的用法，as well as 這里意為“和......一樣好”。答案是B。

2. Is this the girl ___you think is kind and honest?

A. which B. who C. whom D. of whom

解析：若能排除題干中的插入語(yǔ)you think，便會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)定語(yǔ)從句缺少主語(yǔ)。而且指人，應(yīng)用關(guān)系代詞who，因此答案為B。

3. Hardly had all the points that the teacher taught ____down when the bell rang.

A. to taken B. taking C. taken D. been taken

解析：此題句子結(jié)構(gòu)復(fù)雜，難度頗大，里邊包含hardly…when句型，表示“一......就......”。若能識(shí)別出定語(yǔ)從句that the teacher taught ，則會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)其余部分是被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)�！爸�識(shí)點(diǎn)被摘抄下來(lái)”，答案為D。該句意為：我剛抄寫(xiě)完老師教的知識(shí)點(diǎn)就下課了。

4. Mr. Green together with his wife and children ___to Egypt by air for the ten –day holiday.

A. go B. have gone C. is going D. are going

解析：題干中together with his wife and children 是伴隨狀語(yǔ)而不是并列主語(yǔ)。這樣主語(yǔ)只有Mr. Green，據(jù)此判斷謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞應(yīng)用單數(shù)形式，只有C項(xiàng)符合乎要求。因此答案是C。

5. We didn’t plan our art exhibition like that but it ____very well.

A. worked out B. tired out C. went on D. carried on

解析：本題中的tired out 是“精疲力竭”；went on 是“繼續(xù)進(jìn)行”；carried on是“進(jìn)行下去”。通過(guò)上文“并沒(méi)計(jì)劃著象那樣”，說(shuō)明這一活動(dòng)已結(jié)束，而從上面已知的B/C/D都無(wú)法表達(dá)這一語(yǔ)義，我們熟知work out 有“算出、解決”的意思，進(jìn)一步延伸就是“結(jié)果”，所以選A。

6. It’s generally believed that teaching is ___it is a science.

A. an art much as B. much an art as

C. as an art much as D. as much an art as

解析：本題考查的是as…as 結(jié)構(gòu)中的語(yǔ)序，所以A.B都不合適。因?yàn)榈谝粋�(gè)as 是副詞，所以它不能直接修飾名詞結(jié)構(gòu)，它要求把這一結(jié)構(gòu)中的形容詞提到冠詞之前，故本題選D。 即使選出之后，我們對(duì)這一陌生結(jié)構(gòu)仍然糊里糊涂="Times New Roman">

評(píng)注：為了培養(yǎng)學(xué)生們的探索精神，以及在閱讀中面對(duì)未知單詞有良好的心理素質(zhì)，命題人有意設(shè)計(jì)一個(gè)我們十分陌生的表達(dá)方式。我們可以依據(jù)我們所知道的、熟知的條件把它放在新的語(yǔ)境中，如果都不合適，那麼不熟悉的就可能是我們要選擇的。

二、排除選項(xiàng)中的錯(cuò)誤選項(xiàng)

1．Little Jim should love ____to the theatre this evening.

A. to be taken B. to take

C. being taken D. taking

解析：首先根據(jù)句意，“小吉姆是被帶到劇院”，應(yīng)用被動(dòng)結(jié)構(gòu)，故排除B、D，其次should love to do相當(dāng)于would like to do，表示“想做某事”，后接不定式短語(yǔ)，可排除C，故答案是A.

2. My dictionary ___. I have looked for it every where but still ____it.

A. has lost; don’t find B. is missing; don’t find

C. has lost; haven’t found D. is missing; haven’t found

解析：首先根據(jù)句意“我的字典丟了”，我到處找但是還沒(méi)有找到，物品丟失可以說(shuō)be lost , be missing ; be gone ， 據(jù)此排除A/C，其次，這是一個(gè)并列句，前后時(shí)態(tài)應(yīng)一致，用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)表示過(guò)去發(fā)生的動(dòng)作對(duì)現(xiàn)在造成的影響；沒(méi)有找到字典，因此排除B，答案是D。

3. ____, Mother will wait for him to have dinner together.

A. However late is he B. However he is late

C. However is he late D. However late he is

解析：首先however 引導(dǎo)的狀語(yǔ)從句應(yīng)用陳述語(yǔ)序，排除A/C；其次，在該狀語(yǔ)從句中，however后邊要緊接一個(gè)形容詞或副詞，排除B，故答案是D。
