第一章删除冗余信息点拨命题人通过添加插入语、限定语、定语从句、同位语等成分，无疑增加了句子的复杂程度，造成学生的视觉差异，从而导致思维错位，产生误导。解答这类题通常采用的方法是“删除法”，去掉多余信息(插入语、限定语等)，答案就显而易见了。训练每小题0.5分，共30小题；满分15分得分：_1.John plays football _， if not better than, David.Aas well Bas well asCso well Dso well as答案B把if not better than去掉答案就一目了然了，as well as是“和一样好”，而so well as一般不用于肯定句中。2She opened the envelope, _ the letter and began to read it.(2011北京市高三起点考试)Aunfolded BfoldingCunfolding Dfolded答案A这是三个连续发生的动作。若选C则表示open the envelope与unfold the letter动作是同时进行的，显然不合逻辑。3Mike, as far as I know, _ like to play music.Aseems Bappears Cfeels Ddoes答案Das far as I know是状语从句，does 表示强调，而feels like后需跟doing形式。4It is in the city _ youre going to pay a visit to _ this kind of beer is produced.A不填；that Bwhere；thatC不填；where Dthat；which答案A_ youre going to pay a visit to是定语从句，作宾语的关系代词that/which可省，第二空是个强调句。故选A。5How long do you suppose it is _ he arrived here?No more than half a week.Awhen Bbefore Cafter Dsince答案Ddo you suppose是插入语，这是“It is 段时间 since 句子(从句常用一般过去时)”句型，若选B或C，is的时态不对。6He hasnt come yet.What do you consider _ to him?Ahappens Bhas happenedChappening Dto happen答案Bdo you consider是一个插入语，此句缺少谓语，故排除C、D。由前一句的时态暗示了此处该用现在完成时。故选B。7Knowing _， as a matter of fact, one shouldnt know is a terrible thing.Awhether Bthat Cwhat Dwhen答案Cas a matter of fact是插入语，one shouldnt know是knowing的宾语从句，从句中缺宾语，所以选C。8We should do more such exercises in the future, I think, _ those we did yesterday(2011四川成都市石室中学高三8月月考)Aas Blike Cabout Dthan答案AI think是插入语，这是such.as.句型。注意：英语中一般没有such.like.搭配，故不选B。9The manager decided to give the job to _ he believed had a strong sense of duty.Awhoever BwhomeverCwho Dthose答案Ato后面接一个宾语从句，宾语从句中缺少主语，故选A。句中he believed 是插入语，whoeveranyone who。注意：who引导名词性从句时意为“谁”；若选those应在其后加who。10How many of us _， say, a meeting that is not important to us would be interested in the discussion?Aattended Bhad attendedCattending Dhave attended答案C由于would be是句子的谓语部分，所以此处不可用谓语动词，即可排除B、D。过去分词attended 后是不可接宾语a meeting的，也可排除A。attending.是现在分词短语作定语修饰how many of us。注：say是“例如、比方说”的意思。11Mr Tang has three daughters, _， luckily for him, works as a doctor.Anone of who Bone of whomCeither of them Dall of whom 答案B后面的谓语是works可排除D，A中的who要改成whom才对，either只表示二者之一，故排除C。12The first part, it seems, _ better written than the other parts.(2011云南武定县一中高三8月月考)Abeing Bto beCis D不填答案Cit seems是插入语，此句缺少谓语，故选C。13After 5 hours drive they reached _ they thought was the place theyd been dreaming of.Athat Bwhere Cwhich Dwhat答案Dthey thought是插入语，reach后接宾语从句，宾语从句中缺少主语，故选D，whatthe place that / which。which引导名词性从句时是“哪一个(些)”的意思，与句意不符。14I advised the person badly _ to hospital.(2011吉林公主岭市三中高三第一次月考)Awounded be sent Bwounding was sentCwounded sent Dwas wounded be sent 答案Abadly wounded是过去分词短语作定语，advise后接宾语从句时用虚拟语气，即：(should)动词原形。15Professor Li, who I _ abroad, still teaches in Peking University.(2011山西河津二中高三9月月考)Athink went Bthink have goneCthought went Dthought had gone答案D我“过去认为他已出国了”，事实上他现在还在北大教书。不难看出该选D。16The number 2008 is a special number, _， I think, that will be remembered by the Chinese forever.Aone Bit Cwhich Dwhen答案AI think是插入语，one是a special number的同位语，也是后面定语从句的先行词。17He suggested that the problem worth paying attention _ at the meeting.Ato be discussed Bto being discussedCto discuss Dto discussion答案Aworth paying attention to是一个后置定语，to后需接谓语动词，suggest(建议)后接宾语从句时谓语用“(should)动词原形”。由于the problem与discuss之间是被动关系，故选A。18In _ old society many young women died by so strange and cruel _ custom.A不填；a B不填；theCthe；a Dan；a答案Cold society是特指，所以要加定冠词“the”，由“soadj.a单数名词”结构可知，C项正确。19A news report is short, except when it is about something very important, _ it contains a lot of information.Aand Bbut Cthen Dso答案B去掉“when it is about something very important”，答案就很明显了，but表转折。20I can hardly imagine so pretty a girl like you _ boxing.(2010湖北实验中学高三考前冲刺)Alike Bto likeCliking Dto have liked答案Cso pretty a girl like you是一个整体，此为imagine sb.doing sth.结构(即动名词的复合结构)。21The woman there a piano in her room.Ahave Bhas Cis Dare答案B地点副词there作主语the woman的后置定语，此空缺谓语，故选B。注意：本句不是there be句型。22“Premier Wens report，” a smile on his face, he continued, “_ to several hot topics, discusses how to increase peasants income.”Areferring BrefersChaving referred Dreferred答案Areferring to several hot topics是现在分词作定语，修饰Premier Wens report。由于discusses是谓语，确定此空为非谓语动词，排除B；过去分词短语referred to是不能接宾语的，即可排除D。23_ with better communication abili
