近年高考各地英語試題均出現(xiàn)一類要求考生匹配前后句子的試題。這類試題最大特點是給出首句或尾句，要求考生補全句子，補全后的句子意義完整、形式照應、邏輯清楚、句法正確、銜接自然。句式匹配是綜合考查考生語言應用能力、分析問題和解決問題能力的具體體現(xiàn)。這類試題共呈現(xiàn)出以下六種類型：

一、句式型匹配

涉及特定句式的認知和匹配，如祈使句、條件句、倒裝句等。這類試題側重考查考生對句型的理解和把握能力，要求補全的句子在在形式上保持照應，符合特定的句型特征。

【例1】______and Ill get the work finished. (2006NMET重慶卷)

A. Have one more hour B. One more hour

C. Given one more hourD. If I have one more hour

答案與解析：B。此題考查祈使句的識別與匹配。祈使句常見句型—動詞原形或名詞詞組+andor（或破折號）+謂語用將來時或情態(tài)動詞的陳述句。若將題干中and 刪除，選項C和D 也可入選。祈使句的主語通常為you且省略，故答案A與后半句相矛盾，若將have改為give則A選項亦對。

【例2】—We have so much work to do. _____he doesnt come?

—Dont worry. With Mrs. Green to help us, we can do without him.

A. How aboutB. Why notC. What ifD. How come

答案與解析：C?？疾榫涫狡ヅ?，what if…后續(xù)從句，謂語動詞使用一般現(xiàn)在時表將來，譯作“萬一……怎么辦或……怎么樣”，表假設或征詢對方的意見。句意：我們有很多工作要做，萬一他不來怎么辦；若將題干中doesnt改為hasnt，答案則選D項，how come(that)后續(xù)從句，表示對已發(fā)生事件的迷惑，譯作“怎么會”。句意：我們有很多工作要做，他怎么會到現(xiàn)在還不來呢?這里對這類句型加以總結：How come that…?/Why not do…?/What if…?/How about if…?/How do you like…?Who do you suggest…?/What do you think of…?

二、諺語型匹配

固定俗語在特定場合下的運用，不僅可以潤色語句，還發(fā)人深思，啟迪智慧。這類試題不僅考查考生對語言背景的理解，還綜合考查考生分析問題和解決問題的能力。

【例3】—It took me ten years to build up my business, and it almost killed me.

—Well, you know what they say._____. (2006NMET江蘇卷)

A. There is no smoke without fire B. Practice makes perfect

C. All roads lead to Rome D. No pains, no gains.

答案與解析：D。此題考查句意理解和諺語的匹配。解題關鍵是弄清題意，明白諺語自身的意義和使用場合。A選項：無火不生煙；B選項：熟能生巧；C選項：條條大路通羅馬；D選項：不勞無獲。故只有D選項符合題意。又如：

You may not have played very well today, but at least youve got through to the next round and tomorrow is another day. (2007 NMET江蘇卷)

三、句法型匹配

要求考生根據(jù)句法知識，如并列關系、主從關系來匹配句子，補全后的句子符合句法知識。此類試題主要涉及并列句和主從復合句的認知與匹配。解題時要充分考慮標點符號以及連詞的暗示作用，它們暗示不同的句子結構，代表不同的句子關系。

【例4】Faced with a bill for＄10,000, ______. (陜西2006NMET)

A. John has taken an extra jobB. the boss has given John an extra job

C. an extra job has been takenD. an extra job has been given to John

答案與解析：A。此題考查句式匹配。非謂語動詞的邏輯主語應與后一分句的主語保持一致。解題關鍵是找準邏輯主語并確保一致。非謂語動詞作狀語常見形式為：直接以-ed/ing形式打頭或 “連詞+-ed/ing形式”兩種。

【例5】_____everything in good order, so she decided to watch TV in the sofa.

A. After she had putB. Having been put

C. She had putD. Having put

答案與解析：C。前后句通過并列連詞連接，可判斷為并列句，故不存在從屬關系，排除答案ABD。

四、意義型匹配

考生不必過多地考慮句法知識和句型搭配，主要依賴前后句句意來匹配句子，使補全后的句子意義相承、關聯(lián)、完整。

【例6】—Shes really pretty, isnt she? Her skin looks so baby smooth!

—Well, its just that she puts lots of make-up on her face.______ (原創(chuàng)模擬)

A. Sometimes I wish I could be as beautiful as her.

B. Actually, natural beauty comes from within.

C. I cant believe she is still so pretty after giving birth to a baby!

D. Fortunately, she has a good income.

答案與解析：B。從答語just可以看出說話者不屑一顧。故只有B 項才能使句意完整，銜接自然。

【例7】—Jim, you are not coming back to our class next term?

—____.

A. No. Much remains to be done in my subjects

B. Yes. I feel so tired and I need a holiday.

C. No. All my classes have been completed

D. Yes. Im going to study in another school next term

答案與解析：C。若反意疑問句陳述部分為否定形式，附加部分則采用肯定形式?；卮饡r注意對等，即yes后接肯定結構而no后接否定結構，翻譯時與漢語相反。C項句意：是，所有的課程都學完了。

五、情景型匹配

據(jù)說話時的場合和情境，恰當選擇交際用語以完成簡單的語言交際。這類試題提供說話情景。

【例8】—Would you like to join us in the game?

—______, for I have something to attend to. (福建2008NMET)

A. I willB.Id like toC. I wont D. Im afraid not

答案與解析：D。Im afraid not表示委婉的否定或謝絕，譯作“恐怕不是(不行)”。類似的，Id like/love to…but…；Thanks…but…；Sounds great… but…均表示委婉謝絕。 若將題干for 改為but，答案則選B。

【例9】—Drink for the great moment, will you?

—_____.Its years since I last drank.

A. Yes, I couldnt agree more B. Sounds good

C. Just a little, please D. No, thanks

答案與解析：D。句意：不，謝謝。我已多年不喝酒。在since-分句中，從句謂語動詞若為延續(xù)性動詞或狀態(tài)動詞，翻譯時應從動作結束時算起。

六、邏輯型匹配

此類試題側重考查考生分析前后句邏輯關系的能力，這種邏輯關系客觀、符合常理，不牽強附會。

【例10】Having been attacked by terrorists, ____. (上海2004NMET )

A. doctors came to their rescue B. the tall building collapsed

C. an emergency measure was taken D. warnings were given to tourists

答案與解析：B。此題考查句式匹配。非謂語動詞having been attacked 的邏輯主語應與后一分句的主語the tall building 保持呼應。這樣邏輯才能成立。前后句通過邏輯紐帶聯(lián)系起來，這是匹配句式的主要依據(jù)之一。

總上所述，高考命題者在設計句子匹配試題時，可能會考慮各種類型的相互滲透，趨向綜合。故考生在作答此類試題時要慎重考慮形式、功用、意義、邏輯、語境和語言習慣。

答案與解析：

1. C。此題考查句式結構的識別以及前后句邏輯關系。only置于句首強調狀語時使用倒裝。

從句法分析上便可排除選項ABD。

2. A。眾人拾柴火焰高。

3. D。此題考查祈使句的識別及句首動詞的選用。并列連詞and表明前后句為并列關系，故

排除前三個選項。

氣在if-條件狀語從句中的用法，其中if被省略。

5. B。前后邏輯主語不一致，不使用非謂語動詞作狀語。中間只使用逗號連接，前后句為主

從關系。

6. B。據(jù)邏輯關系，可排除選項A。非謂語動詞作狀語，前后句邏輯主語應保持一致；從句

法上分析，排除選項C和D。

7. D。此題考查句式匹配。非謂語動詞to make 的邏輯主語應與后一分句的主語we保持一

致。

8. C。此題考查句式的前后匹配。no matter how或however可引導狀語從句，故排除選項A

和D；B選項應在how后加much。

9. A。此題考查獨立主格結構，涉及非謂語動詞邏輯主語的認知。前后句用逗號隔開，后一

分句為主句，故被匹配的句子一定是從句，使用非謂語動詞作狀語，非謂語動詞邏輯

主語為there。

10. B。此題考查句式匹配。前后句用逗號隔開，故判斷前一分句為從句。no matter不可直

接引導從句；whatever后接名詞，而however后接形容詞或副詞。11. 答案A。從句

法和功用上考慮，只能選擇名詞性從句充當主語。

12. D。前后兩個分句由and連接，在結構和形式上應保持一致。第一分句以動名詞打頭，

故第二分句也應與此保持一致。

13. C。山中無老虎,猴子稱大王。

14. B。此題綜合考查考生對句式結構的認知。no hope與no way構成并列，由with引出，

合為一個狀語從句；her pain and suffering from the terrible disease構成并列關系，作動

詞reduce的賓語，其余答案不適合。

15. A。中心詞為名詞scene，故選用what連接，名詞前再接限定詞。

16. D。此題考查考生正確運用倍數(shù)句型的能力，即n times the +n. of…句型。

17. C。此題考查句型的識別。在句型“It is +required +that從句”中，從句謂語動詞用“should+

動詞原形”。

18. B。此題涉及省略和語序。補充完整的句子為：We all know that, if it is not carefully dealt

with…。

19. B。此題考查前置。as引導讓步狀語從句時，將作表語的名詞詞組前置即可，注意名詞

前省略冠詞。前置和倒裝在形式上最大的特點就是詞序的改變，依此可匹配句式。

20. A。交際用語“Id like toI meant to…but”表示“我想去（本打算），但……”。
