下文對單選設計題目的重難點與常考考點做些分析，希望能有助于同學們的考前復習。
（一）、動詞考點：
1、常用的動詞的近義辨析。例如：
1）---Could you please _____ me five minutes to discuss this proposal, sir?
   ---Of course, but try to be brief.
   A. afford   B. spare    C. share    D. break
答案是B。afford意思是“負擔得起”；spare意思是“抽出，勻出（時間）”；share意思是“與---共享--（share sth with sb）”；break意思是“休息一下”。
2）This product ______ from others in that it is of higher quality.
   A. distinguishes   B. identifies   C. differs   D. distincts
答案是C。distinguish意思是“區(qū)別，辨別”；identify 意思是“識別，鑒定”；differ意思是“有別于，區(qū)別于”；distinct是形容詞，意思是“明顯的，獨特的”。
2、常用的動詞的特殊含義。例如：
1）A heavy snow this winter ______ a good harvest next year.
   A. intends   B. mean    C. promises     D. bring
答案是C。其中promise除了我們所熟知的“承諾”之意，還表示“征兆，預示”。
2）--- Can you imagine his being _____ with murder?
   --- How come? He is such a kind man.
   A. charged   B. accused   C. sentenced   D. arrested
答案是A。其中charge除了我們所熟知的“收費”之意，還表示“控告，指控”。
3、常用動詞的短語搭配。 例如：
1）--- When and where should I _______?
   --- 6 o’clock tonight at the gate of my company.
   A. put you up   B. set you up   C. pick you up   D. pick you out
答案是C。A意思是“為你提供住宿”；B意思是“建立”，不接某人作賓語；C意思是“搭載”；D意思是“把你挑出來（指認出來）”。
2）--- Congratulations on your moving to the new house!
   --- Thanks. And welcome to visit us someday after we _______.
   A. break down  B. settle down   C. put down    D. calm down
答案是B。A意思是“壞掉，垮掉”；B意思是“安頓下來”；C意思是“放下來”；D意思是“冷靜下來”。
4、動詞的非謂語形式。例如：
1）--- What should we do with the empty bottles?
--- Our teacher advises _______ them.
   A. to sell   B. selling   C. having sold   D. sell
答案是B。advise的常用結(jié)構(gòu)是advise sb to do sth，但沒有sb作賓語時，結(jié)構(gòu)即為：advise doing。用于此類用法的詞還有：allow, permit等。有些動詞后面是固定用doing的，如：imagine, suggest, mind等。有些動詞短語也是固定接doing的，如：pay attention to, get down to, devote oneself to等。以上幾類詞或短語要在復習時注意總結(jié)和歸納。
2）Who do you think would be able to solve the problem _______ now?
    A. discussed   B. to be discussed    C. having been discussed   D. being discussed
答案是D。本題選項中羅列了四種非謂語動詞的常見形式，特意免除了對被動語態(tài)的考查，同學們可以從中清楚地看出非謂語形式作定語的幾種情況：to do 表示將要去做某事；doing表示正在做某事；having done表示已經(jīng)做完某事；done 表示某事已被做完。同學們?nèi)缒芾斡涍@四種情況的基本意思，并細心體會語境，就能在類似題目的解題過程中得心應手了。
3）_______ from behind, the girl in white looks like an angel.
    A. Seen     B. Seeing         C. To see    D. Having seen
答案是A。此題考查非謂語動詞用作狀語的情況。此時to do表示目的；doing表示正在進行的伴隨情況，與主語間是主動關(guān)系；having done表示已經(jīng)完成的伴隨情況，與主語間是主動關(guān)系；done表示已經(jīng)完成的伴隨情況，與主語間是被動關(guān)系。此類題目的解題關(guān)鍵是判斷主語與可選動詞間是主動還是被動關(guān)系，以及動作是在進行還是已經(jīng)完成。
5、情態(tài)動詞的基本含義與完成式。例如：
1）The competition time was too limited, but fortunately our team ______ finish the task right before the deadline.
   A. could       B. would    C. were able to    D. might
答案是C。本題考查情態(tài)動詞的基本含義與區(qū)別。兩者同時存在時，can 表示可能性；be able to則更強調(diào)有能力完成某事。此類考查的重點還有：might在表示推測時語氣最弱； shall用于第三人稱的問句中常表示客氣地詢問第二人稱意見，以及shall表示承諾、命令、威脅等語氣；would表示過去常常做某事等。

2）--- You know how Mary reacted to the news? She burst out crying!
   --- Well, you __________ her the news so directly, as it is beyond her expectations.
   A. shouldn’t tell     B. shouldn’t have told   C. needn’t tell    D. needn’t have told
答案是B。本題考查的是情態(tài)動詞+完成式表示對過去動作或事情的推測或評價。本題中reacted和burst都用的是過去時，證明動作是在過去發(fā)生的，現(xiàn)在來評價該不該做過去那個動作，就要用情態(tài)動詞+完成式。
6、動詞的時態(tài)和語態(tài)。例如：
1）--- I’m sorry, but I have to tell you that I can’t go to your birthday party.
 --- Why? You _______.
   A. have promised    B. promised    C. are promising   D. have been promised
答案是B。因為承諾是過去動作，跟現(xiàn)在的事實產(chǎn)生對比，故需強調(diào)過去承諾過。此題切記不得使用現(xiàn)在完成時態(tài)，因為完成時態(tài)指的是過去的動作對現(xiàn)在產(chǎn)生了影響，而題意正好相反，過去的承諾對現(xiàn)在的決定沒有產(chǎn)生影響。近幾年的NMET單項選擇填空題的命題原則是：“突出語境，強化語意，強調(diào)運用”。單選的題干內(nèi)容越來越貼近生活，語言更加靈活。因此要做好這類單項選擇題，一定要注意體會語境。
2）The concert _________ raise money for the famine victim.
   A. intends for       B. is intended for    C. is intended to   D. intend to
答案是C�！按蛩阌�---來做---”的常用表達形式是： “intend sth for (doing) sth”, “intend sth to do sth”。此題中concert是主語，故應選擇被動語態(tài)。此題把對語態(tài)的考查與對短語動詞和主謂一致的考查結(jié)合起來，是高考考查的常見形式。因其更綜合，更復雜，就更需要考生有扎實的基礎知識。
（二）、句型考點：
1、主從復合句（名詞性、形容詞性、副詞性從句）及連接詞。例如：
1）Last week our maths teacher set so difficult an examination problem ______ none of us worked out.
       A. that       B. which       C. as      D. who
答案是C。本題考查定語從句的關(guān)系代詞，關(guān)系代詞在定語從句中作主語或賓語。work out是及物動詞，意為“計算出”，其后應接賓語，這里as作關(guān)系代詞，和such或so連用。如果本句改為…worked it out，則該題應選為A，構(gòu)成such…that結(jié)構(gòu)，引導結(jié)果狀語從句。
2）The spokesman said that the new policy was unfair to his country and ______ they would take some legal steps.
   A. that       B. what        C. whether   D. \
答案是A。 本題考查賓語從句的連接詞。一個謂語動詞后接兩個賓語從句時，第二句的連接詞（尤其是that）不可以省略。有關(guān)各類主從復合句的區(qū)別和常用連接詞的知識點仍將是高考�？嫉目键c，對此考生要注意梳理基礎知識，并在做題時注意題干的細節(jié)，不能漏掉任何有助于答題的信息，從而提高答題的準確率。
2、強調(diào)句型、省略句型和倒裝句型。例如：
1）I don’t remember how many years ago ______ I last showed you around the factory.
A. it was that      B. was it that   C. it was when    D. was it when 
答案是A。 本題考查強調(diào)句和賓語從句的語序。這種幾個考點結(jié)合起來設計題目的方式在高考題目中很常見。“it was that”是強調(diào)句的標志詞，句中的賓語從句how many years ago it was that…由強調(diào)句it was many years ago that…轉(zhuǎn)化而來。
2）---We are expected to finish the work by 6 o’clock this evening.
---______ if we can’t manage it？
A. What          B. How        C. Why          D. When
答案是A。本題考查省略句型。what if意思是“如果……怎么辦；即使……又有什么關(guān)系”。相當于一個主從復合句，條件句完整，主句因上下文比較清楚，省略了“will happen”。
3）Only when he got hurt _______ the importance of road safety.
   A. he realized      B. did he realize   C. he has realized  D. had he realized
答案是B。本題考查的是倒裝句型和句子的時態(tài)。only, so引導的內(nèi)容提前或否定詞提前，句子要進行部分倒裝。而此句的時態(tài)應該是過去時。
（三）、其他考點：
1、情景交際。例如：
--- Hello, Grand Hotel. _______

--- Hello, I’m wondering if you have a single room available at present.
   A. With pleasure.   B. What’s up?   C. At your service.  D. Who is it?
答案是C。A意思是“樂意幫您這個忙”，常用于答應幫某人忙；B意思是“怎么了”，常用于詢問有什么麻煩事發(fā)生；C意思是“隨時恭候您的吩咐”，常用于侍者或接待人員的招呼語；D詢問的是“誰在打電話”，與題意不符。在解答這類情景交際題目時，看清前后文的具體語境很關(guān)鍵。要善于體會說話人之間的關(guān)系親疏、語氣是否客氣等。
2、一些習慣用法或固定搭配中的冠詞。例如：
---Would you like to go to _____ cinema with us?
   ---I would love to, but I have too much work at ____ hand.
   A. the, the         B. a, a       C. the, \    D. \, the
答案是C。這兩個短語都是固定搭配。應對這類題目，要注意平時對于語言基礎知識的積累與記憶，而且對習慣用法等的記憶尤其要注意細節(jié)。
3、名詞或名詞短語辨析。例如：
1）Judging from his facial _______, he is content with the new project.
   A. expression     B. expedition      C. explanation    D. experience
答案是A。此題考查的是詞形相似的名詞之間的辨析。還有很多題目設計的考點是詞義相近的名詞的辨析。這就要求考生在考前復習時再熟讀《考試說明》中的高考詞匯表，重點關(guān)注詞形或詞義相近的名詞間的辨析。
2）--- What’s your ______ being late this time?
   --- I’m sorry, but I ______ a former classmate on my way.
   A. reason of, met          B. cause of, came to   
C. excuse for, came across   D. explanation for, meet with
答案是C。此題考查的是名詞的短語搭配和動詞短語辨析，并穿插了時態(tài)的考查，要求考生不僅有扎實的知識基礎，還要對題目所給信息有綜合而犀利的判斷能力。解這類綜合題目的最佳方法是排除法和比較法，即認真比較四個選項間的區(qū)別，根據(jù)題目所給信息對不符合題意的選項進行排除。
4、代詞用法。例如：
I’d appreciate _____ if you tell me in advance what time exactly you will arrive.
   A. it      B. that    C. one    D. the one
答案是A。此題考查it用作形式賓語的用法以及it, that, one 在指代前文提過的事物時的用法。這兩點都是高考�？嫉目键c。
5、形容詞和副詞用法。例如：
   --- Have you seen the robber ______ ?
   --- Why ask me? You are the only one who stands _____ to him.
   A. clear, close    B. clearly, closely   C. clear, closely    D. clearly, close
答案是D。此題考查的是形容詞和副詞的用法。這部分內(nèi)容中要注意“close”與“closely”、“high”與“highly”、“deep”與“deeply”等幾對詞語的區(qū)別。比較級的用法和倍數(shù)的表達法以及一些常用短語也是這部分內(nèi)容的考點。
6、介詞與介詞短語用法。例如：
  _______ your help, I would have failed to meet the deadline.
  A. With     B. For    C. Without   D. Due to
答案是C。此題考查介詞與虛擬語氣的用法。對介詞的考查經(jīng)常與對名詞、動詞、形容詞的短語搭配的考查結(jié)合在一起。故考生需要在記憶常用短語時多關(guān)注介詞搭配和不同搭配的不同含義。
綜上所述，單選題目既要求考生對英語語法知識、詞語知識的記憶、理解、掌握和運用能力，又要求根據(jù)題干所給的語境條件進行分析、對比，靈活地運用各項英語基礎知識�？忌�不僅要做好基礎知識的積累，還要通過大量的練習掌握一定的答題技巧，才能提高答題的準確率。
