高考英语易错题汇编（思维定势）
1. They ______ on the program for almost one week before I joined them, and now we _____on it as no good results have come out so far.
A. had been working; are still working B. had worked; were still working C. have been working; have worked D. have worked; are still working
此题的时间参照点是before I joined them,，所以第一个空应该用过去完成进行时，第二个空根据时间now用现在进行时。
2. It would be a good idea to use a plastic bottle, ___cut off, as a container to grow young plants in. A. of which the top B. the top is C. the top of which D. with its top 此题是独立主格结构，如果题干改为 ____is cut off,答案则为A或C 3. ______ is it _____ has made Peter _____ he is today?
A. What; that; that B. That; that; what C. What; what; that D. What; that; what 用还原法则为 It is what that has made Peter what he is today k可知是强调句式。 4. Before he went abroad，he spent as much time as he _____ English. A. could learning B. learned C. to learn D. could learn
spend time (in) doing sth 如果改为he did what he ______, 则答案为could to learn. 5. The person we talked about ____ our school last week．
A．visiting B．will visit C．visited D．has visited
此题中包含一个定语从句，the person既作先行词，又作句子的主语，要填入的应该是句子的谓语，根据后面的时间状语为last week，应选过去时。句中包含的定语从句we talked about中about虽为介词，但不影响主句的谓语，故应选C。 观察下面三个句子：
□The person we spoke to ____ no answer at first． A．making B．makes C．make D．made
此题中也包含一个定语从句we spoke to，the person既作先行词，又作句子的主语，要填入的应该是句子的谓语，根据句子的需要，应选过去时。本题中的to为陷阱，实际上它属于定语从句中，而不影响主句的谓语动词。故D正确。
□The person we referred to（提及）____ us a report tomorrow． A．giving B．will give C．gave D．give
同上题一样，句中包含定语从句we referred to，所缺成份为句子的谓语，又根据句中的tomorrow，故用将来时。选B。
□The days we have been looking forward to ____ soon．
A．coming B．will come C．came D．have come
同理，此句中的定语从句包含短语look forward to，虽然to 为介词，但并不影响主句的谓语动词，只是一个陷阱而矣。又根据句中的soon，应用将来时，故选B。
6. Not far from the club there was a garden, ____ owner seated in it playing bridge with his children every afternoon. A. whose B. its C. which D. that
答案为B。此题关键是理解seated这个单词，它是过去分词，而不是作谓语的过去式。它不能在句中谓语。所以后面句子不是一个非限制性定语从句，而是一个独立主格结构，故选代词its。 7. You should treat him (in) the way ____ suits him most. A. that B. in which C. / D. why
此题中先行词the way 后面的定语从句中充当主语。故只能选A。如果先行词the way有从句中充当状语，则可以用that, in which或省略。
8. He is a strict but kind-hearted father, ____ the children respect but are afraid of.
- 1 -
A. / B. that C. for whom D. one whom
此题答案只能为D。替代词one在句中作同位语，代指father，后面再接一个定语从句。先行词one 又在从句中充当宾语。
9. --- You haven’t been to Beijing, have you? --- _____. And how I wish to go there again! A. Yes, I have B. Yes, I haven’t C. No, I have D. No, I haven’t 注意题中最后一个单词again（看三遍！）。不要误选为D。答案应为A。全句的句意为“你没有去过北京，是不是？”“不，我去过。我多么想再一次去那里。”
10. Not only ______the jewelry she ____been sold for her son’s gambling debts but also her house. A. is； has B. has； had C. has； has D. 不填； has
此题中由于Not only 置于句首，故用部分倒装结构。第一个has助动词，是句中谓语动词has been sold中has的提前。第二个has为实义动词，属于定语从句中，表示“有”的意思。本句的意思为：不但是她所有的珠宝而且还有她的房子一起已经被卖掉作为她儿子的赌债了。答案为C。
11. We should do more such exercises in the future，I think，_____ those we did yesterday. A. as B. like C. about D. than
此题前面有more,根据题意，应该选D。比较：
□We should do such exercises in the future, I think, _____ we did yesterday. 此题应选A 因为we did yesterday是句子，所以用连词as
□The teacher suggested that we should do _____ what he did yesterday.
此题应选B 应为我what we did yesterday是名词性从句，所以用介词like 12. He will tell you _____ he expects will win such a match. A. why B. whom C. which D. who
此题中的he expects是插入语，所以答案应为D
13. Who would you rather ______ the report instead of you？ A. have write B. have to write C. write D. have written
此题还原为You would rather have who write the report instead of you.可知答案为A 句式为：have sb do sth
14. Who would you rather ______ you repair your CD player? A. help B. helped C. helping D. to help
此题还原为You would rather who helped you repair your CD player.可知答案为B 句式为：would rather sb did sth 是虚拟语气
15. We’ll be free tomorrow，so I suggest ______ to the history museum. A. to visit B. visiting C. we should visit D. a visit suggest的句式为：
suggest sb (should) do sth是虚拟语气 suggest doing sth
suggest sth to sb 所以答案为D
16. I like swimming，while what my brother enjoys ______. A. cooking B. to cook C. is cooking D. cook
what my brother enjoys是名词性从句做主语，所以答案为C
17. — How long have you been here？ — ______ the end of last month， A. In B. By C. At D. Since since引导的介词短语和现在完成时连用 18. ______ nice，the food was all eaten up soon.
A. Tasting B. Taste C. Tasted D. To taste
taste是系动词, 没有被动，答案A表示原因。对比：
- 2 -
____ nice, the food should be made by adding more sugar. 此题应选D，表示条件。 19. He was sentenced to death ______ what he has stolen from the bank. A. that B. since C. because D. because of
what he has stolen from the bank是名词性从句，所以应该用介词because of
20.—What do you think of the concert? —I really enjoy it. I didn’t expect it was ____ wonderful. A. as B. more C. most D.very
A 这是一个省略句，承接上文，省略了as I had thought。 21. I have no dreams ____ to have a happy life.
A. rather than B. more than C. other than D. less than other than 的意思是除了而rather than的意思是而不是
22. —Ms Lin looks rather a kind lady. —But in fact she is cold and hard on us. You ____believe it! A. shouldn’t B. wouldn’t C. mustn’t D.needn’t
本题主要考查情态动词的意义和用法。选项A表示建议；选项B表示推测；选项C表示禁止；选项D表示需求。根据句子的意思，本题正确答案为B。
23. I’d try even if I may fail ___ __ sit there worrying in time of trouble. A. rather than B. other than C. more than D. less than A 考查than短语。rather than ：而不是。
24. He ran as fast as he could _____ to catch the bus. A. hope B. to hope C. hoping D. hoped
此题的最佳答案不是B，而是C，其中的现在分词短语hoping to catch the bus用做伴随状语，即一边跑一边希望能赶上汽车。但是，如果选B，将to hope to catch the bus视为目的状语行不行呢？不行。因为“他拼命地跑”目的是“为了赶上公共汽车”，而不是“为了希望赶上公共汽车”，换句话说，将“希望”作为“目的”不妥。因为同样的原因，下面一题也应选hoping：He studied as hard as he could _____ to enter a good college. A. hope B. to hope C. hoping D. hoped
25. He had a lot of friends, none of _____ could lend him any money. A. whom B. them C. which D. who 此题选A，none of whom could ... 为非限制性定语从句
对比：He had a lot of friends, but none of _____ could lend him any money. A. whom B. them C. which D. who
此题选B，由于句中有并列连词 but，整个句子为并列句，因此选them He wrote a lot of novels, none of _____ translated into a foreign language. A. them B. which C . it D. what
同学们看了上面一题的分析后，也许会毫不犹豫地认为此题应选 B，理由是none前没有并 列连词 and 或 but，但这次又错了。此题的最佳选项应是A，注意此句与上面一句有着本 质的不同，即此句的 translated 不是谓语，而是一个非谓语动词（过去分词），所以逗号 后面其实不是一个完整的句子，而是一个独立结构。假若在 translated 前加一个助动词 w as，则此题应选(which)，构成一个非限制性定语从句。所以做这类题要特别小心，千万 不要想当然，更不要受思维定势的影响。
26. I met several people there, two of _____were foreigners.
A. whom B. them C. who D. which 此题选A，two of whom were foreigners 为非限制性定语从句 对比：I met several people there, two of _____ being foreigners. A. whom B. them C. who D. which
题选B，two of them being foreigners 不是一个完整的句子，因为句子没有谓语，而只有非谓语动词 being 27. She may have missed the train, in _____ case she won't arrive for another hour.
