: j4 w- _& G2 V& h 6、family(家庭), group(小组), police(警察),committee(委员会), team(组), box(盒), audience(观众)等词,可以是单数,也可以是复数,关键要看题目所给的提示,例如: # `; J. ?: v/ V
The whole box of matches _____ wet; I couldn’t light a simple one
# y5 v p2 f: b7 T! ~9 b1 M9 C% Q) ? A. was
- R+ R. f6 x7 { B. is 7 Y# `0 F) Q B% B" Y$ f, s2 [1 k$ ]
C. were www.examw.com
" g) w/ Y M1 I% D( @- c5 t D. are 1 d' K- y9 p* M8 k4 ~, E
解题思路:这道题如果没有后半句I couldn’t light a simple one,是没办法解答的。这句话提示了两点:
7 Y y2 g' I2 Y8 M (1)时态为"过去时",故B、D已不可能了;
% u8 v7 m& _& l N$ R. J3 w" | (2)"a simple one"说明是指盒子内的一根根火柴,故答案为C.试想,如果我们把后半句改为 "I had to throw it away", 那么正确答案应是A. # m. p I" i& w6 m2 S3 w$ M
所以,看清题目的提示对于解题是非常重要的。 |
