三、英语单项选择解题技巧

（一）分析句子结构

1.This is the main use that the scientists make______ natural resources.

A. in B. up of C. from D. of

有些试题的考本来十分简单, 但命题者却通过使用定语从句,或者将我们十分熟悉的固定词组有意拆开,重新组合,使我们在结构上产生错觉。that the scientists make…是定语从句,关系代词that是代表先行词use的,将其置入定语从句中,就得到that the scientists make use..显然是考查make use of 这一词组。正确答案是D。

（二）找准关键词语

2.It is______ any wonder that his friend doesn’t like watching television much.

A. no B. such C. nearly D. hardly

此题的关键词是any, 因为any常用于疑问句、否定句或条件句中,而此句不是疑问句，也不是条件句,所以应该是否定句。no本身就相当于not any，于是排除A。.因此，正确答案D(hardly=almost not)。

（三）补全省略成分

3.---What do you think made Mary so upset?

--- ______her new bike.

A. Lost B. As she lost C. Losing D. Because of losing

口语中会使用一些省略句，作题是若将被省略的成分补充完整，答案就会一目了然。此题将答句补全，就是Losing her new bike made Mary so upset。显然，只能选C，用动名词作主语。

（四）适当转换句式

4.---Mr. Wang ,whom would you rather ______ the important meeting?

---Tom.

A. have attend B. have attended

C. having attend D. have to attend

有时将题干的句式转换成自己更熟悉的句式，就很容易选出正确答案。如：将疑问句、强调句、感叹句或倒装句改为陈述句，将被动句改为主动句，将无序句调整为正常句。此题若将疑问句改为陈述句，就是I have Tom attend the important meeting。其中would rather 后必须跟动词原形，have sb do sth.所以选A。
