29. 這個Where is what? 作何解釋

A：“Where is it?” he whispered.

B：“Where is ______?”, she whispered.

A. that                     B. what                    C. when                   D. it   

此題應選B。容易誤選A, D。對于此題有的考生首先就排除了選B, C, 其理由是“疑問詞”只能出現在句首位置。

其實疑問詞出現在句中甚至句末是完全可能的, 但這多半是有特殊的語境或使用的句式比較特殊。本題選 B(what)的原因是：上句問 Where is it?(它在什么地方), 但聽話人對此句中代詞it指代什么東西并不清楚, 所以她反問 Whereis what?(什么在什么地方?)

這類用法在口語中經常使用：

1. —We are ready. Let’s begin. 我們準備好了, 開始 吧。

—Ready for what? 準備干什么?

2. —What are you going to do next fall? 下一個秋 季打算要干什么?

—Next what? 你說下一個什么?

3. —Who took it? 誰把它拿走了?

—Who took what? 誰把什么拿走了?

4. —How can we finish it? 我們怎樣才能完成它?

—How can we finish what? 我們怎樣完成什么?

5. It was so dark I couldn’t tell who was who. 當時一片漆黑, 我分不清哪個是哪個。

6. They look exactly the same, and I really don’tknow which is which. 它們看起來一模一樣, 我實在分不清哪個是哪個。

30. 這個疑問詞的選擇與答句有關

—______ is her husband?

—The man standing by the window, wearing a blue jacket.

A. Who                    B. What                   C. Which                 D. Where

此題應選C。其它三項均容易被誤選, 尤其是選項D, 因為下文的答語中出現了表示地點的介詞短語。

此題選C(which), 完全依語境確定：

—哪個(which)是她的丈夫?

—站在窗子邊, 穿藍色夾克衣的那個(人是她的丈夫)。

事實上只要改變上文, 其它幾個選項是完全可能的：

1. —_____ is her husband?

—Mr Smith is.

A. Who                     B. What                    C. Which                  D. Where

2. —_____ is her husband?

—He is doctor.

A. Who                     B. What                    C. Which                  D. Where

3. —_____ is her husband?

—He is upstairs.

A. Who                     B. What                    C. Which                  D. Where

再看一例相關句型：

4. —_____ is her husband?

—He is very well.

A. Who                     B. What                    C. How                     D. Where

答案：1. A 2. B 3. D 4. C

31. 由-ing分詞轉化來的形容詞不能用于人嗎

—______ do you think of your English teacher?

—Oh, he is an ______ man.

A. What, interested B. What, interesting                                C. How, interested   D. How, interesting
