单项填空是高考英语试卷的第一道题,如果能轻松拿下,就能带着一份明快的心情向后面的试题进发;如果在此卡壳了,将直接影响后面的发挥
所以,精心备考单项填空十分重要
但近年来,高考英语对学生的语言理解及运用能力要求日益提高,单项填空中,经常出现一些综合性较强的陷阱题
如何跳出这些陷阱题呢
首先我们要弄清命题者是如何设计陷阱的,然后才能有力地“还击”
【陷阱一】利用定势思维,设置“陷阱”
【应对策略】夯实基础,记住要点,结合语境,识破“陷阱”,理清题意

sweeping the floor B
to sweep the floor C
swept the floor D
to sweeping the floor【解析】此题并不是 couldn't help doing( 情不自禁 ) 的运用,而是对 help (to) do 的考查,故选 B
【陷阱二】拆散短语,模糊视线
【应对策略】分解成相应的简单句

to persuade C
persuading D
persuaded【解析】本题可理解为 We had great difficulty ______ her
考查“ have difficulty in doing…” ,所以选 C

【应对策略】识破玄机,看清句逗
