Q:下面这道选择填空题,我选B,可正确答案是A,怎么理解呢?
You don’t have a drink.Can I get you____?
A.somethingB.anythingC.nothingD.everything
A:som ething通常用在肯定句中,anything用在疑问句、否定句或条件从句中。如:
I have something to tell you.(我有些事告诉你。)
Is there any thing for me on the desk?(桌子上有给我的东西吗?)
但是它们的取舍还决定于句子的内在含义。此处Can I...?表示请求、许可,som ething用在该句型中表示请求和征求意见,期待对方作肯定回答,如果用any thing就没有这层意思了。该题句意为:“你没有饮料,我可以给你拿些吗?”答案为A。
从你答题的思路来看,你错选B的主要原因在于受思维定势的干扰,认为any thing用在疑问句或否定句中,而没有先弄清楚句意。由此可见,做题时只看表面现象,而不看实质,很容易掉入命题人设计的陷阱。
同学们再看以下几个例句,有助于理解some thing的这一用法。
Would you like something to drink?(你想喝点什么吗?)
Jim,cou ld you do something for me,please?(吉姆,请为我做点事好吗?)

Q:下面这道选择填空题中in the house表示地点,我选A,用关系副词where引导定语从句,正确答案却是C,不知道错在什么地方。
He likes low-carbon life.He lives in the house____he built himself out of trash.
A.whereB.whatC.whichD.in which
A:先行词是表示地点的名词时,引导定语从句的关系词是用关系副词还是关系代词,要看其在从句中充当什么成分。如果充当状语,应用关系副词;如果充当主语或宾语,则用关系代词。如:
This is the bank where he works now.(这是他现在工作的银行。)
This is the bank which the thief broke in to last night.(这是昨天晚上小偷闯入的银行。)
你问的这道题的意思是:“他喜欢低碳生活。他住在一个自己用垃圾建造的房子里。”根据句意可知,先行词是the house,在这个定语从句中,动词built的后面缺少的是宾语,应该用关系代词which。w here是关系副词,在从句中作状语;what不能引导定语从句;in w hich等于where,在定语从句中也做状语。所以答案选C。

Q:下面这道选择填空题,很多同学都选A,正确答案却是C,请问:win与beat有什么区别?
The Chinese national women’s badminton team____the Japanese team by 3∶1 in India on May 24.
A.wonB.lostC.beatD.m issed
A:win和beat都可用作及物动词,作“赢”“战胜”讲时,其区别主要在于宾语不同。充当win的宾语的是比赛、战争、奖品、金钱等名词,即race,match,game,competition,war,prize等。如:
He won the first prize in the surfing competition.(他在冲浪比赛中获得第一。)
充当beat的宾语的则是比赛、竞争的对手,即指人或球队的名词或代词。如:
But still we weren’t sure we could beat them.(但是我们还不能确定我们能打赢他们。)
你所问的这个句子的意思是:“5月24日中国国家女子羽毛球队在印度以3:1战胜了日本队。”宾语是team,意为“团队”,答案选C。
