2018届各地高考考前试题难句解析（五）

21.【2012年全国新课标卷· 完形填空】Indeed, what is called body language is so ___40___ a part of us that it’s actually often unnoticed.

40.A.well       B.far      C.much     D.long

【参考译文】事实上，所谓的体态语其实就如同咱们身体的一部分，（它是那样的为我们所熟悉）以至于实际上其时常为我们所忽略。

【参考解析】本题答案为C。这里有个很重要的结构：

A is so much a part of B that   A就如同B的一部分以至于

Sugar is so much a part of our modern life that we only really think about it when,for some reason,we cannot get it.如今，糖在我们的生活中如此司空见惯，以至于只有当我们因某种原因得不到它时才会意识到其重要性。

咱们还要注意其与另一个相似结构的区别：

A is as much a part of B as (is) C   A就像C一样是B的一部分

The atmosphere is as much a part of the earth as are its soils and the water of its lakes, rivers and oceans.大气是地球的一部分，就像土壤以及江海河湖里的水一样。

22.【2016年全国一卷· 完形填空】One thing is ___59___ — Larry went above and beyond the call of duty by getting so close to the burning vehicle!

 59. A. for certain   B. for consideration   C. reported    D. checked

【参考译文】有一点是确信无疑的，当时莱瑞距离起火车辆如此之近，他的所作所为已经远远超出了一个路人该做的。

【参考解析】这里主要有个成语不好理解：

go above and beyond the call of duty 远远超过职责范围

We didn't expect the police officer to drive us home . That was above and beyond the call of duty .我们并不指望那警官会开车送我们回家。那远超过他的职责范围了。

23.【2016届云南昆明市两区七校模拟调研·语法填空】And we can relax ______ (we) while reading her blog.

【参考解析】本题属于一种典型的命题失误。其实这里根本无须填写任何单词。《柯林斯高级英语语法词典》明确指出，relax不是一个反身动词，不能使用relax yourself这种结构。然而不幸的是这种不规范使用的现象非常常见。《剑桥高阶》例句：

After work, they relaxed by going to the pub.

Don't tense your shoulders, just relax.

24.【安徽省高考英语模拟·语法填空】“Just ___67___ (be) in the same picture with my wife when we were ___68___ (basic) babies, it’s unbelievable,” Alex Voutsinas said. (http://ask.yygrammar.com/)

【参考译文】“在我和妻子基本上还是婴孩的时候就竟然同框过，这简直令人难以置信，”Alex说。

【参考解析】67题答案为to be。考查不定式形式的感叹句结构。这种结构多表达“感叹或愿望”。68题也不简单，关键在于词类的判断，这里由于所需之词在句子中应该修饰前面的动词were, 所以应该使用其副词形式，所以本题答案为basically。例句：

Oh, to be young again! 但愿青春再来！

To think I spent all my hard-earned knowledge on you! 想想吧，我已把自己所学都倾注在你的身上。（人教版选修8 p74）

25.【2018英语周报高一版37期·短文改错】It made me think over fresh grass in summer.......She couldn’t have asked for anything better.

【参考译文】它使我想到了夏天的嫩草...这正是我最想要的/ 这是最合我心思的啦。

【参考解析】第一句考查动介搭配，把over改为of, 很简单；第二句话考查人称指代，把She改为I。难点在于这里出现了一个比较级的否定表达最高级意义的结构—couldn’t have asked for anything better 字面意思是：不能想要更好的东西了，即最想要的东西。值得注意的是该结构的语义功能——对过去事件或经历做回顾性总结，了解这一点，对于我们写作意义非小。例句：

“The host was friendly, the apartment was clean and cosy and the location was perfect being just outside the town. Couldn't have asked for anything better!”

I love you guys so much. I couldn’t have asked for a better year, all thanks to you.

“I couldn’t have asked for a better start,” he reflected. “Scoring those goals was a real confidence booster, though I’ve still got some way to go to be at my best. (http://www.yygrammar.com/)
