答案：
1. B
2. B success 名词，保留远动词含义"成功"是不可数名词；如用来代替具体的人（成功者）或具体的事（成功的事情（东西））是可数名词。故排除C,D；A中how是副词，如改成how great a success就是正确的。
3. B 抽象名词不特指时，前不用冠词。
4. D 如将A项中was, since改成is, since是正确的；即从句中谓语先发生。如用B项，是强调句，而强调句前后两个谓语动词在时间上必须一致（a）；被强调部分能还回原句中（b），即因为句中was declared是过去时, B项中is改成was；因为句中was declared是非延续性动词，在years后加上ago将"一段" 时间变成"一点"就是正确的。C 项前后时间不一致。
5. C whichever已失去疑问含义，等于anything that，表示强调；而which topic中which保留疑问含义，译成"哪一个题目"，不符合句义。而A和D中缺少连词。
6. B.含有否定意义的副词及介词短语放在句首时，句子中主语和谓语用部分倒装。
7. A 题目中has made是谓语，communication between people far apart短语是宾语，convenient是宾语的补语，被前置。如用B项,it是形式宾语代替不定式或从句。
8. B含宾语从句和定语从句的主从复合句，反意疑问句随主句变；但是在含有宾语从句的住句中主语是第一人称时反意疑问句随从句一致。
9. A10. B 在让步，时间等状语从句中，如果主从句中主语一致，从句中谓语含be动词，可以将从句中的主语和be 省略，即在how 后加they(the works) are，再分别与选择项搭配后，就会发现正确答案是B。11. A considering "考虑到"，而considered "被认为"，根据全句含义，句中主语they和considering是主动关系，因此选择项。12. C13. A14. D lack 作名词，后加of短语。如用A项,lacking是及物动词的动名词，后面不用介词of或作不及物动词,后面加介词in…。
15. D put/ place/ lay emphasis on 是固定搭配，表示"强调，注重。"16. D the results of which 等于whose results，是非限制性定语从句。17. A 18. C 该题空格处缺少的是连词，且在从句中作主语，所以排除A,D; that 在名词性从句中只起连接作用。19. B20. D on which to base his arguments in favor of the new theory = The professor will base his arguments in favor of the new theory on sufficient grounds.21. C 句中有连词that和谓语must be stimulated，缺少一个谓语动词，排除A,D，该句译成汉语是"有。。。的证据",而不是"它是。。。的证据"所以排除B.22. B23. C24. D25. C26. C27. A 定冠词the加上表示时间的名词起连词作用，引导时间状语从句。如the night/ the minute/ the spring/ the year等。
28. B look forward to doing sth. / sth. 表示"盼望做某事"，而look forward to do sth.表示向前看目的（要做。。。）
29. D shall用于第二，三人称表示说话人的心愿；will表示主语的心愿。
30. D can't help but do…相当于have to do….。
31. D There is no need (for sb.) to do sth.是一个固定句型，相当于It is unnecessary ( for sb.) to do …;或sb. have no need to do sth..
32. B postage included 等于including postage。
33. B fix one's eyes on / upon 是固定短语，表示"注视"
34. A 强调从句中谓语动词的动作发生的晚，表示"。。。。。。才。。。。。。"。
35. C do(es) 是代动词，用来代替上文save a lot of labor。
36. A 比较状语从句中省略与主句相同的成分，只保留比较对象。
37. C
38. C left wondering 中left的逻辑主语是the little boy，所以可转换成The little boy was left wondering…。

2019年高考英语语法填空实战模拟 (名师精剖析解题技巧与方法+实战练习，值得下载练习) 篇一:语法填空答题技巧 {} 语法填空解题流程 {} 语法填空答题技巧 形式一有提示词类 (一)提供动词类 当设空处提供动词原形，设空处一般考查动词的时态、语态、非谓语动词或 词类转化。其解题步骤为： 全国Ⅰ]But for tourists like me，pandas are its top __61__(attract)．[典例1][2016· [剖析]考查名词。句意：对于像我一样的游客，大熊猫是最大的吸引。形容词 top“头等的；最重要的”后面跟名词形式。故填attraction。 [典例2][2016· 全国Ⅰ]My ambassadorial duties will include __67__(introduce) British visitors to the 120-plus pandas at Chengdu and others at a research centre in the misty mountains of Bifengxia.
[剖析]include为及物动词，后面应用动名词形式作宾语。故填introducing。 全国Ⅱ]Leaving the less important things until tomorrow __63__ [典例3][2016· (be) often acceptable. [剖析]分析句子结构可知，动名词短语Leaving the less...until tomorrow作主语，故63处应为谓语动词且应用单数形式。故填is。 (二)词性转换类 词性转换多以派生词变化为主，如：形容词与副词间的相互转化形容词与名 词间的相互转化；形容词与动词间的相互转化；动词与名词间的相互转化等。其 解题步骤为： 全国Ⅰ]The title will be __63__(official)given to me at a ceremony [典例1][2016· in London. [剖析]考查副词。修饰动词应用副词形式。应填officially。 全国Ⅱ]Then，handle the most important tasks first so you'll feel a [典例2][2016· real sense of __62__ (achieve)． [剖析]考查名词。介词of后应用名词作宾语。故填achievement。 特别提醒：1.括号中所给词为形容词或副词时，也有可能是考查其比较等级。 [典例1]The__68__(hard) you try to beat him，the more likely you will get hit.He controls you! [剖析]分析句子结构以及根据句意可知，此处为“the＋比较级．..，the＋比较级．..”结构，表示“越……，就越……”，故答案为harder。 2．括号中所给词为名词时，有可能不是考查词性转换，而是考查单复数。 [典例2]．..for most of us the __69__(change) are gradual and require a lot of effort and work，like cleaning up a polluted river. [剖析]由定冠词the可知，此处应填名词，由谓语动词are和require可知此处 应用复数形式changes。 3．有个别空可能是词义转换题，词性不一定要变，主要是考查与词根意义相 反的派生词，需根据句子意思及前后逻辑关系，在词根前加un-，im-等，在词根

高考英语常考必考六个语法知识点 高考英语常考必考六个语法知识点 1. 语态和时态 —do you see those people on the little sandy island? —yes, they _______ handkerchiefs for the last half hour. i wonder why. a. were waving b. waved c. had waved d. have been waving 【正确答案】d 【高考考点】考查动词时态。现在完成进行时：表示一个从过去某一时刻开始的动作，一直延续到说话时还在进行或刚结束，句中常出现用for, since,how long等引导的时间状语。 his telephone has been ringing for a long it hasbeen raining since last sunday. how long have you been wearing glasses? 【题干句意】“你有没有看见那些在小岛上的人?”“是的，我看见了。他们在过去的半小时里一直在挥手帕，我不知道为什么。” 【详细解析】这个挥手帕的动作是在半小时前开始的，然后一直在挥，一直挥到了说话的这个时候，所以我们用的是一个现在完成进行时，强调一个动作的持续。我们再来看
一下其他几个时态： a选项是were waving——过去进行时，它指的是：①过去某一时刻正在进行;②过去某一阶段正在进行;——过去时，过去某时间发生的且已完成的动作，所以我们知道a 和b这两个时态都是和过去有关，而和现在是没有一点关系的，所以a和b这两个答案错了。 c. had waved——过去完成时：过去某一时刻或某一动作前完成的动作或状态，那么它所表达的时候是在过去的过去，例如： by theend of last year, we had built 5 newschools.到去年年底为止，我们已经建造了5所学校。首先，过去的时间是去年年底;而句子表达的意思是在去年年底之前，所以我们用过去完成时——hadbuil d.和现在是更加没有联系了，所以这个答案也是不正确的。 题干中的时间状语是“for the last halfhour”，注意这个last不是指“最后的”，而是指“刚才的——在刚才的半个小时里”，那么往往呢句中出现last,或者是last halfhour、recent这种词的话，我们一般都会选择现在完成进行时，因为它指的是“刚才”，那么肯定指“从刚才到现在”。所以本题答案是d. 2. 名词性从句 the information could be helpful to ____will take over the job.
