高考临近,以下是几道题及解析,希望对大家有所帮助!
三、“中国的首都在哪里?”
—_______ the capital of China? —It’s Beijing.
A. What’s B. Where’s C. How’s D. Which’s
此题应选A。但容易误选B,因为从汉语意思看为:
——中国的首都是哪里?
——是北京。
从逻辑上看,北京是中国的首都或者说中国的首都就是北京,而不是说中国的首都在北京(里面),这是逻辑上的一种等价关系,而不是一种包含关系。试比较以下正误句型:
正:—What’s the capital of China? 中国的首都在哪儿?
—Beijing (is). / It is Beijing. 在北京。
误:—Where is the capital of China?
—(It is) in Beijing.
但是我们可以说天安门在北京(里面),那是因为天安门只是北京的一个组成部分,它包含在北京范围之内。所以下面一组对话是对的:
正:—Where is Tian An Men Square? 天安门在哪儿?
— (It is) in Beijing. 在北京。
注意类似情况:(from www.nmet168.cn)
正:Where do you live? 你住在哪?
正:What’s your address? 你住在哪?
误:Where’s your address? (若此句视为正句,则只能表示:写有你的地址的纸放在哪里?)
四、“她是谁?”
If your uncle’s sister is not your aunt, then she must be your _______.
A. grandma B. cousin C. mother D. wife
此题应选C。句中的uncle相当汉语于的“舅舅”。这是一道带有智力性质的题目。做这类题除需一定的思维技巧外,还要注意以下各词的多层含义(这与汉语不同):
uncle:叔叔,伯伯,姨父,舅父
aunt:姑母,婶母,伯母,姨母
grandfather:爷爷,外公
grandmother:奶奶,外婆
cousin:堂兄弟,表兄弟,堂姐妹,表姐妹
