高考英语语法重难点易错题精编(单选题)
高考英语语法重难点易错题精编〔单选题〕
1. 主动表被动，重难点：
---Why did you put the wood near the fire? It’s dangerous. ---Don’t worry. Wet wood won’t _______.
burnt
be burnt
be burning
burn
解释：本题考查动词的主动形式表示被动含义的用法.Burn可以用主动形式表示被动意义.类似的动词还有read, write, sell, open等.
2. Slove the first problem and the rest ___tomorrow.
are going to be discussed
is going to be discussed
will discuss
is discussing
解释：the rest〔of the promblems〕译为剩余部分；其余者句子译为：解决第一个问题,其余的将明天讨论.
3. 独立主格结构，重难点，极易错题：
The factory produced many famous cars, none of ____ shipped to foreign countries.
them
which
it
what
解释：本题容易误选which.容易被认为是一个非限制性定语从句.理由是none后面没有并列连词and, but.但是，ship在这里是一个及物动词，意思为“运送……到”，也就是说这里的shipped是一个过去分词，后面的部分是一个独立主格结构.如果在shipped前面加一个was，则应该选which，构成非限制性定语从句.
4. 易错题：
—Tom hadn’t passed the exam and was afraid of being scolded. — _____.
So it was with Jim
So was Jim, his classmate
It’s the same with Jim
Neither had Jim, his classmate
解释：So it was with Jim是指上一句的内容也适合另一个人.如It’s the same with Jim中It’s改为It was才对.
5. 动词时态，易错题：
---Good evening. I ____ to see Miss Mary. ---Oh, good evening. I’m sorry, but she is not in.
came
解释：本题主要考查动词时态的用法.came表示过去所发生的事情；e表示经常性或习惯性的动作；e表示目前的情况和影响；e时态不符合对话的时间和语境.
6. 词组搭配〔so…that/as〕，易错题：
____ we can use everywhere.
that
which
as
what
解释：本题考查句子结构和关系代词的选用.首先表示认清句子结构，use后面应该接一个及物动词，先行词应该充当宾语，而前面出现so useful不能用that与which来修饰，可以排除.另外，what 不能引导定语从句.
7. 词组搭配〔devote…to doing〕，常规题：
The time he has devoted in the past years _______ the disable is now considered ________ of great value.
to help; being
to helping; to be
to help; to be
helping; being
解释：前一部分考查devote one’s time to doing sth句式.其中devote的宾语the time在定语从句中提到了前面并省略了；后一部分中的consider的后面接了主语补足语，所以用不定式作补语.整个句子的意思为：他在过去的十年中用在帮助残疾人身上的时间现在被认为是很有价值.
8. 感叹句，常规题：
_______ different life today is ________ what it was 30 years ago.
How; from
What a; from
What; from
How; with
解释：实际上本句主句的主语是life today，而different from 是主句的表语.可以把它变成普通句式：Life today is different from what it was 30years ago.
9. 宾语从句，常规题：
The manager decided to give the job to ____ he believed had a strong sense of duty.
whoever
whomever
who
those
解释：作宾语从句的主语；he believed可视为插入语.
10. 虚拟语气，常规题：
—Why didn’e’s birthday party yesterday? — Well, I ____, but I forgot it.
should
must
should have
must have
解释：should have的后面省略了e.e表示“本应该而实际上没有”.
11. He arrived here at noon,____ in the day, and he went out and came back_____in the day.
late; late
late; later
later; late
later; later
解释：later 为副词，意为“后来”，“回来晚了”.
12. 词组搭配，常规题：
______ part that women _______ in society is great.
The; play
A; take
A; play
The; take
解释：词组paly… a part in〔起……的作用〕分开使用了.Part在这里是特指，由定语从句所修饰，所以用the.

A. a 【错解分析】典型错误B.错因分析:以为专有名称前不用冠词而误选B。 【解题指导】第一个空后有定语从句修饰特指今天的上海市，用the ; 是一座不同于过去的城市，所以第二个空应该用不定冠词。 【答案】本题的正确选项为C. 【练习1】—Has the little girl passed ______ P.E. test? —She has tried twice, and the teacher will allow her to have _____ third try.

初中英语单选易错题附详解试题精编版.doc
1．Which do you enjoy _______ your spare time, playing cards at home or taking a walk in the park? A. spending B. to spend C. having spent D. to have spent 解析：同学们对于enjoy后接-ing动词记得很熟，已成思维定势，所以会不假思索地选A，而实际上此句enjoy的宾语是which，空白处应填入一个不定式，表目的，整句话的意思是 “你喜欢做什么来度过你的空闲时间，在家玩牌还是去公园散步？”故正确选项应为B。 另外，通过这道题我们还可以学到一个短语，spare time——空闲时间、闲暇时间，这 里spare作形容词，表示“空闲的，多余的”。free time也可以表示“空闲时间”。 2．I’m sorry I cannot help _____ the work. A. to finish B. finishing C. finished D. to finishing 解析：一些学生由于受cannot help doing sth.(禁不住做某事)这一习惯用法的影响，毫不犹豫 地选择了B。然而，只要仔细分析一下句子，根据句意，“对不起，我不能帮忙完成这项工作。”就可知道正确答案为A。cannot help to do sth.表示“不能帮助做某事”，这时，help后的不定式可带to也可不带to。 所以，同学们，当题中见到can't help的时候不要想当然的选doing形式哦，一定要根据句意来分析一下。 3．—Would you like some tea，please？ —Yes. I prefer tea _____ sugar. A. to B. for C. with D. of 解析：大家易受固定搭配prefer...to...（喜欢......而不喜欢......）的影响而错选A。本题题干意思为：“你想喝些茶吗？”“是的，我喜欢加糖的。”因此，名词tea后的词语作定语修饰它，tea with sugar表示“加糖的茶”，所以正确答案为C。 理解了这道题之后我们再来学习一下prefer的用法~ ★prefer+名词 ——Would you like meat or fish? ——I'd prefer meat, please. ★prefer+动名词 ——Do you like swimming? 你喜欢游泳吗？
