单选篇
1.谨防紧邻信息的误导,避免定势思维。
在学习过程中,老师往往就一些常见的、重要的词、词组及句型加以反复强调,以加深学生的印象,学生因此而可能形成思维的定势。
【例1】My parents have always made me _______ about myself, even when I was twelve.
A. feeling well B. feeling good C. feel well D. feel good ( 2007 江苏 35 )
由于我们对I am feeling well today. 形成了思维定势,容易错选C. 这里不表示身体好,而是表示自我感觉好。选D.
【例2】--- I can't find Mr. Smith. Where did you meet him this morning? --- It was in the hotel ______ he stayed.
B. which C. the one D. that A. where
此题最大的干扰项是D,考生很可能把它看作强调结构。但根据句意,它要表达的是“在他呆的宾馆里找到他的”。所以,实际上是在stayed后省略了that I found him,即全句可完整地表达为It was in the hotel where he stayed that I found him。因此,答案为A。
【例3】Though life should be colorful, I prefer devoting all my energies to my studies_______ more professional knowledge.
A. to get B. to getting C. rather than get D. rather than to get
考生容易错选B。但仔细分析句意,应选A,表示目的。

【例1】My sister, an inexperienced rider, was found sitting on the bicycle _____ to balance it.
A. having tried B. trying C. to try D. tried (200...
