三、经典名题导解
1.If______, we’ll go.
A.necessary B.being necessary
C.to be necessary D.it necessary
解析：此题考题“it+形容词或分词”作状语的结构。在英语中由if it is+adj引起的条件从句可以省略it is,直接用“if+adj或分词”的结构来代替类似的用法是when和while引起的时间从句中也可用“when/while+adj或分词”来代替“when/while it is...句型”。本题答案为A。
点评：解这类题时应注意“if/when/while+adj/分词”在句中应作状语，如用作其他成分不一定成立。
又如：When possible,I’ll help you with your English.
While waiting for you, I read newspapers.
2.At what time shall we______?
A.reach B.arrive C.get to D.arrive in
解析：此题考查reach, arrive,get to等词的用法。reach是一个及物动词，get to 也是一个及物动词短语，表示“到达某地”时后面都应该加上一个宾语。而arrive 是一个不及物动词，后面可以不用宾语，如表示到达某地则用arrive in/at。本题答案为B。
点评：解答此类题时学生应辨明动词的及物性。
又如：They arrived in Beijing yesterday.
3._____to call.
A.You are enough B.You are so kind
C.It’s very kind of you D.It’s kind for you
解析：此题考查it is+adj+of/for sb.to do sth. 的结构。在“it is+adj+of/for sb.to do sth.”的结构中。介词的使用很容易出现差错。一般来说如形容词是用来修饰人、表示人的特性特征的话用介词of ,如形容词是用来修饰to do sth.的话用介词for。故本题答案用C。
点评：解这类题时应特别注意形容词在句中修饰的成分。
又如: It is important for them to get up early in the morning.
It is necessary for us to learn computer.
4.Is this factory _______ he worked in last year?
A.that B.which C.the one D.where
解析：此题考查的是定语从句的用法。定语从句是本单元的重点语法内容。定语从句应有先行词，但本句话没有先行词，故本题正确答案为C。
点评：解这类题时，有的学生会将this factory 当作先行词而误用that或which,但本句为一般疑问句，因此this factory 为主句主语。若将此句改为Is this the factory—he worked in last year?则用that或which.
5.This is the library______ we can borrow books.
A.which B.that C.from which D.in which
解析：此题考查的是定语从句中关系代词的用法。关系代词在句子中的选择要根据先行词在从句中的作用（即充当的句子成分）来决定。其基本规律是先行词在从句中作主语或宾语时用that/who 或 which,作介词宾语时用介词+which或介词+whom（人）。本句意思是“我们可以从这家图书馆借到书。”故用介词+which (物)。所以本题答案为C。
点评：学生在答题时，一定要牢记定语从句的先行词在从句中一定要充当一个句子成分从而选择正确的答案。
