1. “ Do you like the material?”“ Yes, it_____ very soft.”
A. is feeling B. felt
C. feels D. is felt
【陷阱】此题容易误选 D,想当然地根据“这布料摸起来很柔软”这一句意,认为“布料”应是“被摸”,所以 feel选用被动语态。
【分析】其实,此题正确答案为 C,因为 feel在此为连系动词,而连系动词均为不及物动词,不能用于被动语态,尽管有时其汉语意思有被动意味。请看以下类似例子(答案均为 D):
( 1) Her forehead_____ hot. I’m afraid she is ill.
A. is feeling B. felt
C. is felt D. feels
( 2) The new school has been completed. It_____ very beautiful.
A. is looked B. looked
C. has looked D. looks
( 3) The dish_____ nice, but the milk_____ sour.
A. is smelt, is smelt B. is smelt, smells
C. smells, is smelt D. smells, smells
( 4) The story of his life_____ interesting.
A. is sounded B. is sounding
C. has sounded D. sounds
2. He was angry_____ your work. He said that he_____ at all.
A. at, didn’ t satisfy B. to, didn’ t satisfy
C. at, wasn’ t satisfied D. to, wasn’ t satisfied
【陷阱】几个干扰项均有可能被误选。
【分析】最佳答案为 C。 be angry at (about) sth意为“对某事生气”,许多同学常按汉语意思将其中的介词 at (about)换成 to,这是错误的。另外,许多同学将汉语的“不满意”直译为 not satisfy,这是是不对的,因为, satisfy在现代英语中只用作及物动词,其意不是“满意”而是“使(人)满意”,所以其后不能没有宾语,除非本身是被动语态(或是系表结构)。
