三、经典名题导解
1.— Do you like the material?
—Yes,it_____ very soft.
A.is feeling B.felt C.feels D.is felt
解析：此题主要考查feel一词作系动词的用法。因为空格后面是形容词，所以谓语动词要用系动词的一船现在时，而不用它的被动语态和现在进行时。故正确答案为C。
点评：诸如 feel作系动词的用法的词还有：sound,taste, smell,
look等，经常被测试。需要注意的是这些系动词不用进时和被动语态。
2．After the new technique was introduced,the factory produced_______ tractors in 1988 as the year before.
A.as twice many B.as many twice
C.twice as many D.twice many as
解析：此题主要考查形容词中倍数的表达法。表示倍数、几分之几、百分之的单词或短语放在as(so)…as 或形容词比较级的前面。所以要填twice as many as。故答案为C。
点评：倍数的表达公式为：A is …times + adj./adv.(比较级)+that+B或A is...times+as+adj./adv.(原级)+as+B,答题时需注意属于哪一句式。
3．Mr Zhang gave the textbooks to all the pupils except _____ who had already taken them.
A.the ones B. ones C.some D.the others
解析：本题主要考查不定代词的用法区别。这是一个限定性定语从句。缺少先行词。the ones 表示特指，ones 表示泛指，不能作先行词，the others 意思是“剩余的”，与定语从句的语义重复，some亦为泛指。故答案为A。
点评：不定代词one、it、ones、the ones以及other、the other(s)在英语的语言运用中极为普及，需留意它们区别。
4.— ______ you like some more bread?
—I’m full, thank you .
A.Shall B.Will C.Are D.Would
解析：本题考查“would……like sth.”句型表示征求对方意见的用法。shall用于征询对方意见时常用于第一、三人称中，will 和would 常用于第二人称表示征求对方意见，但would语气更委婉，因此本题答案D恰当。
点评：情态动词是语法学习的一大难点，解这类题时应准确理解语意，把握语境。
5.Thank you very much for _______ you have done for my sister.
A.that B.which C.it D.what
解析：本题考查宾语从句在复合句中的用法。这是一个复合句，其中，you have done for my sister这个句子是作介词for的宾语，因此这是一个宾语从句，而从句中done是个及物动词，其后缺少了宾语。故答案选D。
点评：解复合句时，首先应分析句子结构，弄清句子结构后，根据不同的从句选用正确的连接词。
e.g.I don’t know where I can buy this map.
6.— Do you think I could borrow your dictionary?
— ________.
A.Yes, you may borrow B.Yes, you could
D.Yes, help yourself D.Yes, go on
解析：本题考查日常口语的使用。题中用could 是请求对方帮忙或同意自己做某事时婉转的用法。因此本题问话简略答语可以是“Yes,you can”而不是B项“Yes ,you could”，而A项不能省略代词it.D项意为“用吧”。故答案选 C恰当。意为“自己取用”。
点评：对于一些语意相近的答语应认真分析，逐一排除。

When they selected the fourth Thursday of November for their Thanksgiving celebration,they invited their neighbours,the Indians to join the main dinner.They thought of the group of 102 men,women and children who left England.They remembered their dead who did not live to see the shores of Massachusetts.

In big cities,Americans do their grocery(食品杂货)shopping at large supermarkets.They usually shop once or twice a week,and when they go through the check-out stand(付款出口),their shopping cars are full of groceries.
A large supermarket is a big business.Although mainly selling foods of different kinds,supermarkets also handle other things including school and garden supplies, beer,toothpaste,toys,clothing,magazines,books and even medicines.The supermarket tries to meet the house wife’s every need so that when she leaves,she’ll shop nowhere else.
In order to attract customers,supermarkets have tried to make shopping as pleasant as possible.Some of them have flowers and trees in the parking place.Some have roofs cover the walks so that shoppers can walk from their cars to the store without having to worry about snow,rain or the hot sun.Most of the stores are air-conditioned.
With these and other improvements,supermarkets are becoming more and more popular.This is not limited to the United States.From Bankok to Buenos Aires.the old-styled grocery store is fast disappearing.In Europe,supermarkets have been growing in number since 1975.There is no doubt about it---more and more housewives around the world will soon be standing in the check-out lines.
56. The passage tells us that_______.
A.Americans never do grocery shopping more than twice a week.
B.it is a general practice for Americans to do grocery shopping once a week.
C.Americans are allowed to do grocery shopping only in supermarkets.
D.Americans supermarkets are better than those in other places of the world.
57. In the second paragragh,the passage says“The supermarket tries to meet the housewife’s every need…”What does“the supermarket”here means?
A.This very supermarket.

Everyone talks about the“five”senses of man.And it is true that we get our information about the outside world from our sense of sight,hearing,smell,touch and taste.Researchers tell us that the sense of sight---our visual sense---gives us up to 80% of what we know about the would outside of our bodies;while the other senses,the auditory(hearing),the olfactory(smell),the tactile(touch)and the gustatory(taste) bring into our brains information about the other twenty percent of what is happening.But there are two other senses that we cannot get along without,though they are seldom noticed.They are the sense of balance,without which we would act like a drunk(醉人)after a heavy drink,and the kinesthetic sense,which gives us our ideas about our own motion.

Because plants can not move or speak,most people believe that they have no feeling and that they cannot receive signals from outside.Is this true?
People who study plants have found out that plants carry a small electrical charge(电荷).It is possible to measure this charge with a small piece of equipment called a“galvanometer”.The galvanometer is placed on a leaf of a plant,and it shows any change in the electrical field of the leaf.Human have similar electrical field which can change when we are shocked or frightened.
A man called Backster used a galvaometer for his studies of plants and was very surprised at the results.He found that if he had two or more plants in a room and he began to destroy one of them perhaps by pulling off its leaves or by pulling it out of its pot,the galvanometer on the leaves of other plants showed a change in electrical field.It seemed as if the plants were signalling a feeling of shock.This happened not only when Backster started to destroy plants,but when he destroyed other living things such as pets(害虫).
Another plant scientist,named Sauvin,gained similar results to Backster’s.He kept galvanometer fixed to his plants all the time and checked regularly to see what the plants were doing.He found that the plants were sending out signals at the exact time when he felt strong pleasure or pain.
A Japanese scientist called Hashimoto,who loved his plants dearly(非常),said that they could talk.He built an equipment which changed the electrical signals of plants into sounds.The sound were different when different things happened to the plants.For example,when they were moved to a new place or watered.Dr Hashimoto’s wife had talks with the plants.When she spoke to a plant,it answered with a signal which she could hear on Dr Hashimoto’s equipment.

D.a pet on a leave was killed without signalling a feeling of shock
68. The plants sent out signals_______.
A.only when Backster started to destroy plants
B.only when he destroyed things such as pets
C.when Backster cut down a tree
D.when Backster destroyed plants or other living things
69. The plant scientist called Sauvin_______.
