——Alice, you feed the bird today, ____? —But I fed it yesterday.
A. do you B. will you C. didn't you D. don't you(全国高考,99-10)
我选了D,因为它是个反意问句,而它的前面是个肯定句。
据报载,有的地区的考生绝大部分都选了D。为什么呢?因为他们认为所有的附加疑问句都是反意问句。他们忘记了,当句子为祈使句时,情况有些特殊:
A. 在肯定的祈使句之后,通常使用 will you? can you? 因此,上题应当选 B。此外,还可用 would you? could you?
-
Bring the fruit up to the dining room, will you? 把水果拿到餐厅来,好吗?
-
Come into the kitchen, will you? 到厨房来,好吗?
-
Teacher: Get out your books, will/would/can/could you? (OGEG) 教师: 把书拿出来, 好吗?
