发散思维应用

典型例题1

用所给动词的适当形式填空

1. Last year Tom (award) the first prize in the university.

2. He said she (work) as a reporter since 1998.

3. — you (hear) about Dr Norman Bethune?

—Of course. Everyone is China (know) about this famous

Canadian doctor. He (help) us in the Anti-Japanese War. He

(always, remember)by us Chinese people.

解析 答案：1. was awarded 本题时间状语是last year，可知句子应用过去时态，且只说明一个事实，因此用一般过去时态。由于主语Tom 是被授奖的对象，所以用被动语态。

2. had worked 因为有since 1998，宾语从句应用现在完成时态，但宾语从句在此是作主句谓语动词said的宾语，所以现在完成时得改为过去完成时。

3. Have, heard, knows, helped, will always be remembered

本题空1和空2用现在完成时态，暗含时间是从过去到现在;空3用一般现在时，表示客观事实;空4说明他帮助过我们这一事实，所以用一般过去时态;空5说明他将永远被中国人民所记住，用一般将来时，主语he是被记住的对象，所以得用被动语态。

典型例题2

E-mailing is much than long-distance calling.

A. cheap B. cheaper C. cheapest D. the cheapest

解析 答案：B 本题主要考查比较级。句中有than，得用比较级，且空前还有修饰比较级的 much。意思是“发邮件比打长途电话便宜得多”。

【题型发散】

解答：答案：1. A 本题根据题意不是进行时态，再则把B、C、D放入意思也不对，此题中的building 不是现在分词，而是动名词，作介词against的宾语。

2. B 最近获奖，应用一般过去时态，且win是不规则动词，它的过去形式是won。

3. C 本题中的like是介词，那么它后面如果跟动词，该动词应是动名词形式，作它的宾语。

4. B 根据题意“动物应生活在森林里”，该用should live。

5. D 本题主要考查used to do的用法，其他填入都不对。

发散2 根据汉语完成句子

【正误发散】

短文改错 在错处划线，将正确答案写在后面的横线上

They had a very well journey home. Jim 1.

sitted beside the window, but he didn’t see 2.

much during his flight, why there were too many 3.

clouds. Mrs Green sleept almost the whole way. 4.

They stopped at Moscow on the way, but 5.

to go into the center of the city. Jim doesn’t 7.

mind, because it was really cold on Moscow. 8.

There was thick snow anywhere. Nobody liked 9.

to go inside in the bad weather. 10.

解析 答案1. well改为good 这里是作定语，well作副词用的情况较多，主要是作状语。

2. sitted 改为sat sit 是不规则动词，它的过去式是sat。

3. why改为because 这里引导的是原因状语从句，所以该用because。

4. sleept改为slept sleep 是不规则动词，它的过去式为slept。

5. at 改为in 因莫斯科是个大地方，该用in。

6. were改为was 因主语time 是不可数名词，所以谓语动词该用单数形式。

7. doesn’t改为didn’t 根据上下文理解，这里该用过去时态。

8. on改为in on表示在物体的表面上。

9. anywhere改为everywhere 此处指“到处”。

10. inside改为outside或out 这里指恶劣的天气里，人们不愿外出。

【转化发散】

按要求改写下列各句，每空一词

three years my brother went to college.

2. It was so interesting a film that all of us saw it three times. (改为同义句)

4. Uncle Wang has worked here since twenty years ago. (对划线部分提问)

has Uncle Wang worked here?

5. Students must do homework every day. (改为被动语态)

Homework by students every day.

解析 答案1. It is… since 用表示一段时间的句型来表示上句中的时间段。

2. such an …film such…that与 so …that 同义，所不同的是such 修饰名词，such和名词之间可插入不定冠词;so修饰形容词或副词，原句中so后紧跟形容词，而将不定冠词放在形容词之后。

3. Neither…nor…is both…and 的全部否定应用neither…nor, neither…nor连接两个主语时，谓语须跟后面的主语在人称和数上保持一致。

4. How long 询问时间长度用how long，表示多久、多长时间。

5. must be done含有情态动词的被动语态，助动词be要用原形。

【情景发散】

填空，补全对话

B: Maybe You’ve 8 a bit of a cold. You’d 9 take some medicine and drink more water. You’ll be well soon 10 a good rest.

A: I think so. Thank you very much. Goodbye.

B: Bye.

解析 根据上下文的意思，补全对话，每空只填一词，使其完整达意。这类试题在某种程度上来讲比“七选五”式对话还要难些，后者是客观性选择填空补全对话，本题是主观性限制填词补全对话。解这类题一是根据所设情景、特别注意上下文的关系及句、段意，二是要填写正确单词，本题主要讲的是求医治病的一段对话。

答案 1. don’t 2. matter 3. Have 4. doctor 5. temperature 6. seems 7. serious 8. caught 9. better 10. after

【综合发散】

Mr Smith lived in a town by the sea. He has a few shops in the centre there. He managed(管理)them carefully and got a lot of money. He was very rich but he didn’t think he was the richest in the town.

On his way home, Mr Smith heard an old man saying there lived a lot of one-eyed(一只眼)persons on an island. “Oh, dear! ”the greedy(贪婪的)man thought to himself, “If I catch a one-eyed man and show him all over the country, I’ll get much money! ”

After he got home, he told his sons to manage the shops instead of him and he went to look for the island, without telling anybody about it. At last he reached the island and saw some one-eyed children. He was to happy that he rushed towards the youngest one and carried him on his back. But he didn’t know the danger was coming to him. A few one-eyed men ran to him with knives in their hands. He threw the child to the ground and was hurrying off, but it was too late.

知识网络建构

1. 定语从句中先行词只用that不用which的情况

1)先行词为all, everything, nothing, something, anything, little, much等不定代词时。

【例】 (1)I am sure she has something (that) you can borrow.

我肯定她那儿有你要借的东西。

(2)He saw much that was bad.

他看到太多不好的事情。

(3)Everything (that) we saw was of great interest to us.

我们对看到的所有东西都很感兴趣。

2)先行词被all, every, no, some, any, little, much修饰时。

【例】 I’ve read all the books that you gave me.

我把你给我的书都看了。

3)先行词被序数词或形容词最高级修饰时。

【例】 (1)This is the best novel that I have ever read.

这是我看过的最好的一本小说。

(2)This is the first composition that he has written in English.

这是他用英语写的第一篇作文。

4) 先行词被the only, the very, the same, the last修饰时。

【例】 (1)That’s not the only thing (that) we’re missing.

我们不止丢了这一样东西。

(2)The last place that we visited was the museum.

我们参观的最后一个地方是博物馆。

5)当有两个或两个以上分别表示人和物的先行词时，这个定语从句要用that而不用which或who引导。

【例】He talked about the teachers and schools that he had visited.

他谈起了拜访的老师和参观的学校。

6)当主句是以who或which开头的特殊疑问句时，定语从句要用that。

【例】 Who is the person that is standing at the gate?

站在门口的那个人是谁?

2.定语从句的翻译

1)提取主句，认真翻译。“寻找”主句的一般方法是去掉句子中带“的”结构的部分，提取出句子的主干，即“主谓宾”“关系表”或“主谓”等结构。

2)斟酌关系词，译出“的”字结构。汉语中“……的”是定语从句的基本特点，关系词的选择要看主句中的先行词。如先行词指人，就要用who, whom或that等;先行词指物，就要用 which,

that, when或where等。所以翻译定语从句时，要先回头看先行词，然后再运用适当的关系词。

3)确定定语从句位置，译出完整句子。如果没有特殊情况，定语从句往往是紧挨着放在先行词之后。

总之，翻译定语从句时，既要符合英语习惯，又须保持上下文的意思连贯。

3. 定语从句

新题型新导向

【例1】 My watch doesn’t work. I must have it .

A. repaired

B. repairs

C. repair

D. repairing

(2003年烟台市中考题)

赏析 答案：A 本题主要考查have的使用方法，have+宾语(名词或代词)+过去分词，表示“叫别人做某事”，而“别人”在文中不会出现。过去分词内含宾语被“别人”……。

【例2】 She does the housework every day. (改为否定句)

She the housework every day.

(2003年哈尔滨市中考题)

赏析 答案：doesn’t do本题主要考查助动词的使用，此题中does是实义动词，构成否定句须借用动词do, 但本句的主语是第三人称单数，助动词应变为does, 用了助动词does后面的谓语动词用原形do。本题特别注意的是不能把do丢掉了。

【例3】 worth的用法。

1)形容词worth意为“值得……的，有……的价值”。与名词、代词、动名词连用，但不能放在名词的前面。

【例】 (1)That’s worth more than two million yuan in China.

那在中国值二百多万元呢。

(2)I don’t think it worth the trouble.

我觉得它不值得那么费事。

2)worth doing sth. 意为“有做……的价值”，它用主动形式表示了一个被动的含义;表示“很值得做……”用well worth doing sth.

【例】 (1)Is the museum worth visiting?

这个博物馆值得参观吗?

(2)The film is well worth seeing.

这部电影很值得一看。

3)名词用的worth意为“价值”，是不可数名词，相当于value。

【例】 (1)That picture is of little worth.

这幅画没有什么价值。

(2)She is a woman of great worth.

她是个非常有价值的人。

4)worthy是worth的形容词形式，意为“有价值的，了不起的，值得的。”但要注意，它不能单独作表语，常用的搭配有be worthy to be done和be worthy of doing sth. 。

【例】 The film is worthy to be seen.

=The film is worthy of being seen.

这部电影值得一看。(相当于The film is worth seeing. )

【例4】 wonder的用法。

1)wonder意为“想知道，诧异”，其后常跟动词不定式(短语)或带疑问词的不定式短语。

【例】(1)I wonder to see her there.

我很奇怪在那儿见到她。

(2)They are wondering when to go.

他们正想知道什么时间出发。

2)wonder 还可以跟一个特殊疑问句或if引导的从句。

【例】(1)He wondered what his travel path would be like.

他不知道他的旅行路线会怎样。

(2)I wonder what time it is.

我想知道几点了。

(3)We wonder if we could see you again.

我们不知道是否能再见到你。

3)wonder后面如果跟一个that从句，它一般是否定句。

【例】I wonder that you weren’t badly hurt.

你伤得不厉害，真让我不收相信。
