A. 考点:考察时间介词。
On表示具体日期; at表示时间概念的某时刻如at nine o’clock,时间如at noon,阶段at the present stage等。
April 29有日期,所以用on。
2. A. 考点:时间状语从句。
在时间状语从句里,如果主句用一般将来时,由as soon as引导的从句用一般现在时表将来时,即“主将从现”。
3. C.考点:被动语态。
road是build的承受着,存在被动关系。
last year表过去时,所以用一般过去时的被动语态。
4. B. 考点:宾语从句。
宾语从句语序为陈述句语序,排除A、C。

2011年中考英语易错题(1)湖北省宜昌市第五中学葛林1. a[误]I think it is an useful English dictionary.[正]I think it is a useful English dictionary.[析]在不定冠词a与an的用法中要注意的一点是:an用在以元音开头的词之前;而a 则用在以辅音开头的词之前。
要特别注意的是以u字母打头的单词,如useful,university 等,其第一个音标是[j],所以要特别予以注意。
[误]I need a hour to finish this letter.[正]I need an hour to finish this letter.[析]要注意hour和honest的第一个字母不发音。
[误]My teacher is a unknown man, but he is a very good man.[正]My teacher is an unknown man, but he is a very good man.[析]要注意以u打头的单词,它的发音为[∧]时,单数名词前要用an,如uncle等。
[误]There is a "f" in the word "football".[正]There is an "f" in the word "football".[析]英文字母单独使用时,如其第一个发音是元音时,其前面的不定冠词应该用an而不是a.[误]I have a little brother. He is a 8-year-old boy.[正]I have a little brother. He is an 8-year-old boy.[析]要注意这些字母的第一个发音为元音,如eight, eleven等。
2. able[误]This bike is able to be repaired.[正]This bike can be repaired.[析]be able to 主要表达某事或某人具有某种能力去作某事,应译为“有本领”“有能力”“可以”作某事,如:I'm able to swim across this river. 而can可以用来表示具有接受能力或吸收能力。
2011年中考英语易错题(10)
1. dress
[误]My father bought a new dress for himself yesterday.
[正]My father bought a new suit for himself yesterday.
[析]一般来讲男套装用suit, 女服则用dress; 作男服的服装店是tailor shop (tailor's), 而做女装的服装店是dressmaker's.
[误]The mother dressed the clothes on her child.
[正]The mother dressed her child.
[析]dress作及物动词当“穿衣服”讲时,其后不能接衣服而只能接人,如:The boy is still too young to dress himself. 但作为一种穿着打扮的状态时,则多用其过去分词作形容词,如:He is not dressed in his new suit.或She is dressed in red. 词组dress up是过节日时应服装整齐,如:They dressed up for the holiday.
dress, have on, put on, wear
要区别这几个动词需分清是表示动作的动词还是表示状态的动词。
表示状态的动词是have on和wear, 如:He has on a white coat. He was wearing heavy shoes. (他穿着厚鞋。
) 而put on则表示穿衣的动作,如:Put on your coat, it is cold outside.而dress既可以作状态又可以作动作,作动作讲时其后面接人而不能接衣服,作穿着状态时则多用dressed的形式。
如:I saw a lady dressed in red. I saw a girl dressing herself.
2. drop
[误]The students fell their voice.
[正]The students dropped their voice.
[析]drop与fall都可以表示“落下、掉下”之意,有时可以互换,如:The dictionary fell (dropped) from the table. 但drop还可以作及物动词,而fall一般只能作不及物动词。
[误]I shall drop in you.
[正]I shall drop in on you.
[析]drop in是随便拜访某人,而其后要接人时应加介词on再加人称。
构成结构drop in on sb,顺便拜访某人。
3. during
[误]During I was sick, I couldn't eat well.
[正]While I was sick, I couldn't eat well.
[析]during后不能接从句,而when和while后可接从句。
[误]I have been studying English during three days.
[正]I have been studying English for three days.
[析]during不能表达一个动作持续多长的时间,而只能表达在某段时间内某事件的发生。
即带有由during引导的时间状语的句子只能用过去时,不能用完成时。
例如:(During her second year at college, Miss Keller wrote the story of her life and what college meant to her)
4. each
[误]Every of them has his habit.
[正]Each of them has his habit.(他们中的每个人都有自己的习惯)
[析]each可以作形容词,但也可作代词,而every只能作形容词。
each与every都作形容词讲时,都有“每个”之意,但有不同。
each 多指个体,而every则多指整体。
如:We want every student to succeed. each不能表达总体概念,所以不能与almost, nearly(差不多), likely (很可能)等词连用。
[误]We each has a book.
[正]We each have a book.
[析]each 作同位语时,其数应与其同位的名词相同,而each 作主语时则应取其单数形式。
each other, one another
each other与one another这两个词组的区别很多。
语法书中强调each other是两者之间,而one another是多者之间,其实不然,如:All students must care for each other, must love and help each other.(所有
的学生都必须互相关心,互相爱护,互相帮助。
)事实上这两个词组是同义的,如果要讲有什么区别的话,当我们非常笼统地谈,而不特指什么人时,多用one another.
5. early
[误]Could you come here more early?
[正]Could you come here earlier?
[析]单音节和少数双音节副词的比较级和最高级要用-er和-est 来作其结尾,如fast, soon, early, hard, long, near等。
6. earth
[误]What on the earth do you mean?
[正]What on earth do you mean?(你到底是什么意思?)
[析]on earth这一词组在句中为的是加强语气,其意为“究竟”、“到底”。
而作为“地球”讲时则要加定冠词,如:How far is the earth from
the moon. 而作为“泥土”讲时则为不可数名词,如:He filled the pot with earth and wanted to plant some flowers.
7. easy
[误]You can easy imagine my surprise.
[正]You can easily imagine my surprise.
[析]easy只在有限的词组中被用作副词,如take it easy(不要紧张),go easy(安闲;从容不迫), stand easy(休息,.稍息)等。
例如:Easy come, easy go.(钱来得容易花得也快。
)Easier said than done.(说的容易做着难。
)
8. east
[误]Japan is on the east of China.
[正]Japan is to the east of China.
[析]在讲述地理位置时,有3个介词常用,它们是in, on和to, 其中in表示处于所表达的范围之内,如:Shanghai is in the east of China.
on则表示双方接壤,如:North Korea is on the northeast of China. 而表示互不相接的两部分时则用to, 如:Taiwan is to the east of Fujian.
9. either
[误]--- I don't like opera.
--- I don't like too.
[正]--- I don't like opera.
--- I don't like either.
[析]在否定句中用either表示“也”,而在肯定句中用too表示“也”。
[误]Either you or I are right.
[正]Either you or I am right.
