13.(05湖北27)

First，it is important to recognize what kind of person you are and which special qualities make you different from .

A.everyone else

B.the other

C.someone else

D.the rest

答案 A

解析此题考查了代词的用法。在表达的时候，要把自己和别的人分开。else用在不定代词之后，有把自身排除在外的含义。

14.(05重庆22)

—Victor certainly cares too much about himself.

—Yes.He’s never interested in what is doing.

A.no one else

B.anyone else

C.someone else

D.nobody else

答案 B

解析本题考查的是不定代词的用法。no one else意为“没有其他的人”，不符合题意；

anyone else意为“其他任何人”;someone else意为“另外的某人”；nobody else意为“没有其他的人”。根据前后的语境，句意为：他从不关心其他人在做什么。

15.(05江西24)

Cars do cause us some health problems—in fact far more serious than mobile phones do. A.one B.ones C.it

D.those

答案 B

解析 ones代替 health problems;one表单数(泛指)，不合题意;it表单数(特指);those 为指示代词，前不可再用修饰成分。

16.(05安徽21)

I don’t think we’ve met before.You’re taking me for .

A.some other

B.someone else

C.other person

d.one other

答案 B

解析考查在具体的语境中代词的用法。在英语中代词后面用else，暗含把自身排除在外。

Other person意为“别的人”，表示泛指，与句子的意思不符。

17.(05江苏26)

I’m moving to the countryside because the air there is much fresher than

in the city. A.ones B.one C.that

D.those

答案 C

解析本题中than的比较对象是前面的air，air是不可数名词；而 one，ones，those 都来代指可数名词。that既可指可数又可指不可数。

高考英语语法专题复习--代词

高考英语语法专题复习 三、代词 知识要点： 代词是代替名词、名词短语或句子的词。代词可分为人称代词、物主代词、指示代词、反身代词、不定代词、疑问代词、相互代词、连接代词、关系代词等九类。 一、人称代词 人称代词在句中可以用作主语(用主格，如I, you, he, she, it, we, they, 等)和宾语(用宾格，如me, you, him, her, it, us, them等)： 人称代词的用法: 注：(1)在电话中或It is/was...that/who...强调句型中被强调部分做主语时，用主格： ---Is that Mr. Li? ---Yes. This is he. It’s I who did it. 这是我干的。 (2)单独使用的人称代词通常用宾格： “I’m tired.” “Me too.” “我累了。”“我也累了。”“Who wants this?” “Me.” “谁要这个？”“我要。” (3)有时用主格或宾格会导致意思的变化： I like you better than he. 我比他更喜欢你。为I like you better than he likes you. I like you better than him. 我喜欢你胜过喜欢他。为I like you better than I like him. (4)人称代词的排列顺序：单数人称代词通常按“二三一”排列，即you, he and I； 复数人称代词通常按“一二三”排列，即 we, you and they：You, he and I are of the same age. 你，他和我都是同一年龄。 We , you and they are all good citizens. 我们，你们和他们都是好公民。 但若用于承担责任或错误等场合，则可把第一人称 I 置于其他人称代词之前： Tom and I hope to go there. 汤姆和我想去那儿。I and Tom are to blame. 我和汤姆该受批评。 但是，you and I 是固定结构，语序通常不宜颠倒。 (5)人称代词后跟名词同位语。有些人称代词后有时可跟同位语： These small desks are for us students. 这些小课桌是给我们学生的。 We girls often go to the movies together. 我们女孩子常一起去看电影。 He asked you boys to be quiet. 他要你们男孩子安静些。 二、物主代词 物主代词分形容词性物主代词(my, your, his, her, its, our, your, their)和名词性物主代词(mine, yours, his, hers, its, ours, yours, theirs)。形容词性物主代词相当于形容词，置于名词前，作定语；名词性物主代词相当于“形容词性物主代词+名词”，在句中作主语、宾语、表语、连用of作定语：His son is taller than hers. 他的儿子比她的儿子高。 Ours is a great country. 我们的国家是一个伟大的国家 Her son is a friend of ours. 她的儿子是我们的朋友。 This is your pen. Mine is in the box. 这是你的铅笔，我的在铅笔盒里。 注：(1) a friend of mine (ours, yours, hers, his, theirs)结构 (2) 物主代词与own 连用。表强调。也可用of one’s own置于名词后作定语： Mind your own business. 别管闲事。

2012年高考英语全国卷1完形填空翻译和精析

2012年高考英语全国卷1完形填空翻译和精析2012年高考英语全国卷1完形填空为读者解释了肢体语言的重要性。这个经常被人们忽视却占据了人们表意的50%的强大语言会在不同文化之间交流时，给人们带来极大的帮助。提醒读者，在生活中要善于利用肢体语言，善于发现肢体语言的作用。 Body language is the quiet, secret and most powerful language of all! It speaks 36 than words. According to specialists, our bodies send out more 37 than we realize. In fact, non-verbal（非语言）communication takes up about 50% of what we really 38 . And body language is particularly 39 when we attempt to communicate across cultures. Indeed, what is called body language is so 40 a part of us that it's actually often unnoticed. And misunderstandings occur as a result of it. 41 , different societies treat the 42 between people differently. Northern Europeans usually do not like having 43 contact(接触)even with friends, and certainly not with 44 . People from Latin American countries 45 touch each other quite a lot. Therefore, it's possible that in 46 , it may look like a Latino is 47 a Norwegian all over the room. The Latino, trying to express friendship, will keep moving 48 . The Norwegian, very probably seeing this as pushiness, will keep 49 - which the Latino will in return regard as 50 . Clearly, a great deal is going on when people 51 . And only a part of it is in the words themselves. And when parties are from 52 cultures, there's a strong possibility of 53 . But whatever the situation, the best 54 is to obey the Golden Rule: treat others as you would like to be 55 . 2012年高考英语全国卷1完形填空翻译： 肢体语言是安静的，秘密的，也是所有语言中最强大的。它远远胜过说出的语言。专家指出，我们的身体发出的信息比我们所了解的更多。事实上，非语言交流占据了我们真正意思的50%。当我们试图跨文化交流时，肢体语言尤为重要。确实，所谓的肢体语言是我们如此大的一部分，而事实上它却经常被忽视。误解也就由此而来。例如，不同的社会对待人与人之间的距离就截然不同。北欧人通常不喜欢身体接触，即便是朋友，所以更不可能跟陌生人。另一方面，拉丁美洲的人身体接触却比较多。因此，在谈话中有可能时一个拉丁人跟着一个挪威人在房间里走动。为了表达友好的拉丁人会一直靠近。而挪威人有可能觉得这种行为非常粗鲁，所以他会一直后退，保持距离—拉丁人会认为这是一种冷漠。 诚然，当人们在交谈时很多事情都在发生。但是，只有很少一部分在语言本身当中。当交谈双方来自不同文化时，误解是极有可能发生的。但是，不管是什么样的情形，最好的建议是遵守这个黄金法则：像你希望被对待的那样对待别人。

高考英语代词专项训练及答案 一、单项选择代词 1．When the factory closes, _______ will mean 7,000 workers will be out of work. A．which B．it C．what D．they 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】 考查代词。句意：当那家工厂倒闭，意味着7000名工人将会失业。用it代指前面提到的the factory closes，故选Ｂ。 2．Tom told me that he needed a chair and soon I found _________ for him. A．it B．that C．one D．the one 【答案】C 【解析】 考查代词用法。句意为：Tom告诉我说，他需要一把椅子而且很快他就找到了一把(椅子)。it用来代替同类同物，即“同一个”；that常用来指代不可数名词，也可用来指代有定语修饰的可数名词(此时，相当于the one)；one用来指代泛指的可数名词单数，表示同类不同物中的另外某一个。本题中应用one来指代前面出现的、表泛指的a chair，故答案选C。 3．I hate _______ when people eat with their mouths full. A．that B．these C．it D．them 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】 考查代词。句意：我讨厌人们吃东西时嘴里塞满东西。表示爱憎类的动词如： like/love/hate/dislike或appreciate, rely on和see to等其后加宾语从句时，此时一般先用it 做其形式宾语，其后再接that/when等引导的宾语从句。故选C。 【点睛】 it作形式宾语一般有以下三种情况 1. 谓语动词appreciate, dislike, like, hate, love, make (按时到达，成功)等后接由if或when 等引导的宾语从句时，往往在前面加上形式宾语it。 I would appreciate it if you could come to my birthday party. 2. 动词have(表明，坚持说)，take(认为，猜想)，hide(隐藏)，publish(公布)，put(表达，写出来)等后接由that引导的宾语从句时，往往在从句的前面加上形式宾语。I take it that you will be leaving Shanghai soon.我认为你不久就离开上海。 We published it that we had finished the project ahead of time. 我宣布我们已经提前完成了这项工程。

A. the; a B. the; the C. an; the D. an; a 【解析】选A。考查冠词。福岛核电站的事故应用定冠词the；而电话谈话没有指明是哪一次，因此用不定冠词表泛指。句意为：日本表示，日本首相在一次电话谈话中承诺以“最大的透明度”向全世界通报福岛核电站的事故情况。 2．It is thought that Henan Shuanghui Industry Group Co., Ltd. ____take responsibility for its consumers. A. can B. may C. must D. need 【解析】选C。must表示义务、必要，意为必须。而need通常用于否定句，表示需要。句意为：人们认为河南双汇食品有限公司必须对它的消费者们负责。 3. The civil war in Libya that ______on March 12 _______ for a week until now. A broke out; has lasted B breaking out ; was lasted C was broken out; has lasted D broke out; lasting 【解析】选A。考查动词的时态和语态，本句是一个主从复合句，它的时间状语是3月12日，因此定语从句的谓语用一般过去时，且break out为不及物动词短语无被动语态，因此排除B,C两项，until now 与现在完成时连用，排除D项只有A项符合题意，故选A。 4. It was not until the subprime loan crisis(次贷危机) had caused great damage to the American financial system ____ Americans realized the severity（严重性）of the situation. A. which B. that C. what D. when 【解析】选B。考查强调句型。not until the subprime loan crisis(次贷危机) had caused great damage to the American financial system是被强调部分，因此后面用that引导主句。句意为：是直到次贷危机给美国的金融系统造成了巨大危害时美国人才意识到局势的严重性。 5. In order to make people to _____ money to the sick baby, he suggested the mother kneel down every few meters in the street. A. distribute B. provide C. afford D. donate 【解析】选D。考查动词词义辨析。句意为：为了使人们给那个生病的孩子捐钱，他建议孩子的母亲在大街上每几米就下跪一次。Distribute“分配；分发”；provide ...for...“为……提供”；afford“买得起，付得起”；donate捐赠，赠送。根据题意，故选D。 6．A serious forest fire broke out in Shandong, _______ the authority had to take immediate steps to protect the forest in Tai’an. A. why B. which C. as D. for which 【解析】选D。考查定语从句。根据句意可知前句是后句的原因，而此处why不能引导定语从句，需用for which；which引导定语从句指代前面整句内容，并在从句中作主语或宾语，但是后面的句子主谓宾都有，所以不用关系代词which或as。故选D。7．Nowadays children have to take arts, music and sports classes in their free time ____ busy schoolwork. --- No wonder they have more and more pressure. A. rather than B. owing to C. apart from D. expect for 【解析】选C。考查介词短语。apart from“除了……之外”，符合句意“如今的孩子除了繁重

2012年近几年高考英语完形填空分析

近几年高考英语完形填空分析 提纲：(一)命题趋势 (二) 完形填空的题型特点及选项设计特点 (三) 完形填空的解题步骤 (四) 突破完形的注意事项及突破 （一）体裁多样化 从图表我们可以看出全国卷的完形填空的体裁多为记叙文、或夹叙夹议。但其他地方说明文也有出现。2008年福建卷、安徽卷2009年上海、重庆、福建卷等就是说明文。2009年甚至还出现了应用文，如安徽卷，即以独特的书信体来命题。 （二）词汇量大幅度增大 从2008年开始，考试说明取消了对完形填空词数的限制。事实上，近两年完形填空所选文章都已超出了原规定200一250的词数限制．大部分篇幅的字数都大约300字。2009年完形填空词量超过300词的有l0套，其中湖南卷更是达到了381个词。2010年山东卷有325个单词，加上选项190个，总共是515词，需要在20分钟内完成。 （三）对词汇的要求提高了 (1)考察基础词汇中一词多义的现象提高了 现在的完形填空题基本上涉及语法问题很少，今年全国卷的完形填空仍然遵循了这一原则。从选项设置的词汇看，基本上都是基础词汇。一般说来，基础词汇的词义容量比较大，但一词多义现象在基础词汇上表现非常明显，这是全国卷今年的完形填空题考察的趋势。 (2)考察多种词义辨析手段 完形填空的考察角度是在文章理解基础上的词义辨析，全国卷的这篇完形填空用到了多种词义辨析手段，如利用构词法中的派生法辨析词义等，这对今后的词汇教学是有启示的。

（3）难度稳中有增。历年英语高考中完形填空是相对难度较大的题目。但多年来其难度一直能够得到较好的控制(一般难度值在0.55-0.6左右，难度略低于整体试卷难度)，但近年来该题的难度值因为加大了词汇量，使长句难句增多，选项中所用词汇更加富有层次、更具有干扰性，因此难度也就自然增大了。 二、（一）完形填空的题型特点近几年来的完形填空题，有以下几个特点： 1. 短文难度基本稳定，与高中英语教材课文难易基本相当。 2. 短文选材一般为故事性文章，采用其他题材的文章还是不具有普遍性。但往往不按时间顺序平铺直叙，有插叙或倒叙，有时还夹有描述和议论。 3. 短文的第一句不设空格，提供给考生一个思路，以便考生做题。 4. 考查内容主要是逻辑上的通顺，极少是考语法，所以每题四个选项大多属同一语法范畴。 5. 短文长度基本稳定，一般都是300多个单词。 （二）完形填空选项设置的几个特点 （2011年全国卷卷完形选项设置）： In our discussion with people on how education can help them succeed in life, a woman remembered the first meeting of an introductory__36__course about 20 years ago. The professor __37__the lecture hall, placed upon his desk a large jar filled with dried beans（豆）, and invited the students to _38_how many beans the jar contained.
