高考英语语法例题:不定代词
不定代词是高考的常考考点,有的不定代词考题出得比较灵活,不能死套规则,要注意结合语境来理解。如:
(1) “Is ____ here?” “No, Bob and Tim have asked for leave.”
A. anybody
B. everybody
C. somebody
D. nobody
若只是从表面来看,填空句是个疑问句,可能会误选A。但其实此题答案应选B,因为下文的答句说“只有Bob和Tim请假了”,这说明问句是在查人数,故用 Is everybody here? (大家都到齐了吗?)
(2) I agree with most of what you said, but I don’t agree with _____.
A. everything
B. anything
C. something
D. nothing
此句若从表面看,有可能误选B,因为填空句为否定句。但实际上答案为A,因为上文说“我同意他说的大部分内容”,这与下文的 but I don’t agree with everything(但并不是同意他说的所有内容)完全相符。
(3) “Do you have _____ at home now, Mary?” “No, we still have to get some fruit and tea.”
A. something
B. anything
C. everything
D. nothing
答案选C,句意为“玛丽,现在家里东西都准备齐了吗?”“还没有,我们还要买些水果和茶。”
(4) “If you want a necklace, I’ll buy one for you at once.” “Oh, no. A necklace is not _____ that I need most.
A. anything
B. something
C. nothing
D. everything
此题容易误选A,机械地认为:something 用于肯定句,anything 用于否定句或疑问句。但是,此题的答案是B,something 在此的意思不是“某种东西”,而是指“那种东西”或“这种东西”,即心中最想要的那种东西(相当于 the thing)。
