A． a B． an C． the D．leave blank

(Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province, 2001)
Analysis sentence meaning:——Can you see anything near the lake? —I saw an old man sitting on a chair.The answer is B.When we mention someone or something for the first time, the indefinite article a(an) is used as an introduction. In this question, old man is mentioned for the first time, because an is used before words beginning with a vowel phoneme, old It is the beginning of the vowel phoneme, so this question should choose B.

2. It takes us__hour or more to go to my hometown by__train．

A． an. aB． a; an C. an; do not fill in D. a; leave blank

(Shanxi Province in 2001)
Sentence analysis: It takes more than an hour to go to my hometown by train.The answer is c.The use of the indefinite article is examined. an is used before words beginning with a vowel phoneme in pronunciation, not before a word beginning with a vowel letter, such as a university, where the "u" is pronounced [ju:], so use a in front; "h" in hour " is not pronounced, so all is used in front of it, which means "one hour"; by train means "by train", a fixed collocation, and no article in the middle.

3. This morning I had——egg and a bottle of milk for my breakfast.

A． an B． aC． the D．leave blank

(2003, Haidian District, Beijing)

a: ①The first letter in English is also the first vowel. ②The indefinite article used before the consonant. an: used in front of words beginning with vowels (except semi-vowels).Example: He is a student.He is a student. He has fill airplane.He owns an airplane.

be able to be able to

unable/ability/can; maybe
①The passive form of the infinitive of the verb is generally not followed by able.Example: Now she has been able to answer the most difficult maths question we think!Now she can answer what we think are the hardest math problems. ②can is only used in past tense (past tense could) and present tense, be able to can be used in any tense, both of which are followed by the original form of the verb. ③ability is the noun form of able, meaning "ability".Example: He has the ability to succeed in the exam.He has what it takes to pass the exam.

be about to is about to; is planning / be careless (careful) about sth.Thick (fine) heart to something / speak to (tell) sb. about talk to someone (tell someone)……. think (speak, know, dream, read, write) about sb. /sth.Consider (mention, know, dream, mourn

2. Tomorrow is Mothers' Day. What shall we give to mother as a present?

___some flowers?

A． Have you bought B． did you buy
C． Will you buy D． what about
(Jiangsu provinces in 2002)
The analytical answer is D. how about/what about. ． ． ?It is used here to ask for opinions, meaning "How about...?" followed by the accusative case of a gerund, noun or pronoun (because about is a preposition).

Be about must be followed by an infinitive with to, not a gerund, which means "is about to" or "is about to".Pay attention when using the structure of be about to, it cannot be used together with adverbs expressing similar meanings, such as: soon, at onceimmediately, etc.

above all above all; the most important thing; the most important thing is ac (strengthening meaning) + cid (landing) + ent (expressing things) accidents, incidents.

by accident / have an accident by accident / in an accident in an accident / without accident safe and sound; safe and sound

accidental accidental/affair event; matter/business affairs, commerce, business/matter matter; troublesome matter; important matter/thing matter, event; situation, situation/incident small event; event, event change/event big event, event/adventure adventure, Strange experience / experience experience: experience, experience / chance opportunity; chance, luck

___.He's in hospital．

A． I don't think so B． N0, he isn't
C． I hope so D． I'm afraid so
(Anhui Province in 2001)
The analytical answer is D. I'm afraid so.Expressed euphemistic speculation, agreed. Options A, B, and C do not match the meaning of the question.

To express "afraid of doing something", the following two types of structures can be used to be afraid of doing sth. /be afraid to do sth．Such as: I'm afraid to jump (=of jumping). But if you want to express your concern that something may happen, you should use be afraid of doing sth. .

after prep.①after... (referring to the time sequence)②behind... adv. in the back; later; future
afternoon n. afternoon, afternoon

After means "after...", and noon means "noon", and afternoon means "after noon", that is, "afternoon".

in the afternoon／yesterday(this, that, every) afternoon／every morning／tomorrow morning／tomorrow afternoon／tomorrow afternoon／one afternoon

① agree is used as an intransitive verb. When expressing agreement, agreeing with a certain opinion or agreeing with someone, use agree with; when expressing agreement with a certain proposal, plan or plan, use agree to. ②When agree is used as an intransitive verb, it can only be followed by an infinitive, which means agreeing to do something, that is, agree to dO sth. .

an air of demeanor, appearance / by air take a plane (travel) / go on (off) the air start (stop) broadcast / in the air in the air; final F come, / put on airs put on airs, put on airs / in the open air outdoors

of all these subjects, I like Chinese___．

A． more B． betterC． well D． the best
(2[)(11 noon Tianjin City)
The analytical answer is D.This question examines the comparative and superlative usage of adjectives (adverbs). We know that a11 is _ used for three or more people or things.Compare the three.The highest form should be chosen.

①In all of the. ． ．In this type of structure, if the preposition of is omitted, the article in it can also be omitted, but if the preposition of is not omitted, the article in it cannot be omitted.That is to say: aIl of can be used before the noun (and of can be omitted) only when there is a qualifier before it to modify j cun;Example: All of the children like monkeys. (All children like monkeys,) Sentence meaning: All children like monkeys.

If it represents an overall concept, the predicate uses the singular form; if it represents a countable person, the predicate uses the plural form; if it refers to things, it generally has a singular meaning.Example: All are eager to reach an agreement.

Everyone craves consensus. All goes well．all the best. ③When everybody or everyone-one is used as the subject, it cannot be used together with all.

nearly/absolutely absolutely; completely/a11 all/always always/commonly generally: commonly/completely/fully completely, fully/hardly hardly/mainly generally

①almost cannot be used as an attributive to modify nouns.Example: Almost all the children went.The children are almost gone. ② If the main verb in the sentence is the copula be, almost should be placed after be.Example: the suitcase was almost too heavy to lift.The box was almost too heavy to lift.

al (=all, all)'one (one) one is one alone

leave sb． alone to leave someone alone / let alone as to ... let alone

let (1eave) sb. (sth.) alone does not interfere with someone or something, let nature take its course / let well alone is enough, just enough
①alone means a state of life, not a feeling, and cannot be used to express a degree

The adverb very is modified, but very much can be used.Example: The old man is very much
alone.The old man was alone. When ②alone is used as an adverb as an attributive, it can only be used as a postpositional attributive.example:

Time alone will show who is right.Only time will tell who is right.

come along come along／drive along drive forward (car)／fly along fly forward／run along run forward／rush along rush forward／swim along swim forward／walk along walk forward／along with and... together /sweep along; sweep away/all along; continuous; always; consistent/along these lines according to these methods/go along with sb.Accompany someone; approve or go along with someone/go along; progress; carry on; continue/hurry along quickly go/move along... move, go forward/pass along...and pass; pass; go further
Along is a preposition and cannot be used as a predicate, which means walking along somewhere

yet / ever / never / still still; already

If there is no auxiliary verb in the sentence, already is placed before the main verb; if the main verb is a linking verb be, already is usually followed by be; if there is an auxiliary verb in the sentence, already is placed after the first auxiliary verb.Example: I have already read this book.I have read this book.

not only. ． ． but also. ． ．not only but also……

not always not necessarily, not necessarily

The adverb always means "always" and "always". If it is used together with the continuous tense with an ing, it will have a derogatory meaning, such as: She's always asking silly questions.She keeps asking stupid questions.
