典型陷阱之反意疑问句
1. There is hardly any rain this summer, _______?
A. isn’t it B. is it C. isn’t there D. is there
【解析】此题陷阱选项为A或B或C。选A或C的考生是由于没有注意到hardly这个词而草率做题造成的;选B的考生注意到了hardly这个半否定词,但却忽视了这是一个there be结构,后面的反意疑问部分的主语仍然用there。当句中有no, nothing, never, hardly, few, little等否定词或半否定词时后面的反意疑问句要用肯定形式。正确答案为D。
2. She was unhappy when she heard the news, _______?
A. was she B. wasn’t she C. does she D. didn’t she
【解析】此题陷阱选项为A。当句中有no, nothing, never, hardly, few, little等否定词或半否定词时后面的反意疑问句要用肯定形式。但是,当句中有由加否定前缀或后缀构成的否定词时,后面的反意疑问句不受其影响,仍用否定形式。正确答案为B。
3. She thinks she can get there on time, _______she?
A. can B. can’t C. doesn’t D. does
【解析】此题陷阱选项为A或B。错误的原因是受了思维定式的影响。因为在平时训练时“I think + that从句 / I don’t think + that从句”这样的句子,它们后面的反意疑问句的主语和谓语要根据后面的从句来确定,肯定或否定形式则根据主句来确定。如:I think she will win the game, won’t she? I don’t think chickens can swim, can they? 但是,当主句中的主语不是I时,其后的反意疑问句的主语和谓语仍然根据主句来确定。因此,正确答案为C。
4. —They haven’t paid for their tickets, have they?
—_______. They didn’t pay any money.
A. Yes, they have B. No, they haven’t C. Yes, they haven’t D. No, they have.
【解析】此题陷阱选项为A或C。选A的同学是由于忽略语境造成的,如果不看They didn’t pay any money. 这句话,那么A项确实是正确答案。选C的同学是由于受了汉语思维的定式引起的,因为这个答案译成汉语正好是“是的,他们没有付钱”。大家应注意否定疑问句的回答方式与肯定的疑问句的回答方式是一样,只不过这时yes要译为“不”,而no要译为“是的”。正确答案为B。(from)
