高考解析



1._____, Carolina couldn't get the door open.

A.Try as she might         B.As she might try

C.She might as try         D.Might she as try

解析:

  “动词原形+as+主语 + 情态动词”是“although +主语+谓语”的倒装形式,原句可写为Although she might try, …

答案:A

2.In the dark forests ________, some large enough to hold several English towns.

A.stand many lakes         B.lie many lakes

C.many lakes lie          D.many lakes stand

解析:

  stand意为“矗立着”,lie意为“存在”,在森林中有湖。不用stand因而排除A、D两项。B答案是倒装句。英语中为了强调而将表示地点的介词短语放在句首,主谓语采用完全倒装形式。又如:

  On the top of the building flies a red flag. 楼顶上飘扬着一面红旗。

答案:B

3.—Tom is never late for work. Why is he absent today?

  —Something ________ to him.

A.must happen            B.should have happened

C.could have happened        D.must have happened

解析:

  should have done意为“本该做某事,但是没有做”;could have done意为“可能做某事”;must have done意为“一定做了某事”,对过去发生事情的肯定推测。句意为:

  —汤姆从不迟到,今天怎么没来?

  —他肯定发生了什么事情。

答案:D
