英语单项选择题的答题技巧

第一步：理解语境，推敲语义。
　　第二步：化繁为简，锁定考点。
　　第三步：寻找题眼，排除干扰项，确定答案。
　　除了经常用到的直接法和排除法，以下两种解题方法在答单项选择题时非常有效：
　　还原法：把题干还原为自己熟悉的结构，如将感叹句、倒装句、疑问句的题干改为陈述句，将被动句改为主动句，将强调句式、从句、插入语去掉，或者是将省略句补全;
　　类推法：如对题目的备选答案没有把握，利用“如果A对，那么B也对”进行判断和推理，排除A、B两个选项。要注意语境，利用信息，适当分析句子结构，特别注意疑问句、感叹句、定语从句中的句子成分还原;选定答案后尽量不琢磨，不轻易改动所选答案;注意这部分一定不要花过多的时间，尽量以30秒一题的速度答题。
　　转换法
　　(二模，25) Look, ____beautiful flowers ____ the girl carrying that she becomes the focus in the room.
　　A.such;is B.so;are C.how;is D.what;are
　　正确答案为A。此题是一个such在句首的结果状语从句的倒装现象，第二空考查了主谓一致。乍一看，这道题有点无从下手。我们可以将倒装句转换成正常的语序来降低句子难度，即The girl ____ carrying beautiful flowers that she becomes the focus in the room.如此一来，不难看出选A。The girl is carrying such beautiful folwers that she becomes the focus in the room.这个女孩捧着如此美丽的花以至于她成为了房间里瞩目的焦点。
　　(一模，21)-Kim，give me your report by 10am.
　　- ____ have you been in charge of this project?
　　A.Since when B.By whom C.For what D.From where
　　正确答案为A。此题答句是一个时间状语前置的疑问句，可将其改为肯定句，即You have been in charge of this project ____.根据语境，应该选since when，意思为“从何时起你负责这个项目?”
　　删除法
　　(二模，22)-Why are you so familiar with my close friend Nipple?
　　-Yeah，I happen，believe it or not，____ him in a packed trip.
　　A. to meet B.to be meeting C.to have met D.to be met
　　正确答案为C。将believe it or not删除，使句子简化，即I happen ____him in a packed trip.因为说话人遇见Nipple 是在happen to (碰巧)之前，所以用to have met。
　　(一模，35)____ in running for head of the department，which most colleagues had not expected，made her parents very upset.
　　A.Lucy was defeated B.Lucy being defeated
　　C.Lucy's been defeated D.Lucy's being defeated
　　正确答案为D。题目中的非限制性定语从句起到补充说明的作用，可以先行删去使句子简化。句子的主干则变为____ in running for head of the department make her parents very upset.通过句子成分分析可知横线中的成分充当句子的主语，选择D，动名词的复合结构做句子主语。B项应该排除，因为动名词的复合结构做主语时，只能用名词的所有格，不能用普通格。
