【分析】最佳答案是D。it 用以指身份不明的人。若指身份明确的人,则不宜用it。比较:
(1) Mr Smith is at the door. _______ wants to see you.
(2) Someone is at the door. ________ must be Mr Smith.
A. He B. It
C. This D. That
第(1)题选A,因为来者身份明确;第(2)选B,因为来者身份不明确。
4. "Excuse me, I want to have my watch fixed, but I can't find a repair shop." "I know ________ nearby. Come on, I'll show you."
A. one B. it
C. some D. that
【陷阱】容易误选B。
【分析】最佳答案是A。it 和 one 的区别可简单地概括为:it = the + 名词,one = a + 名词。如:
I haven't got any pens, and I want to borrow one. 我没有钢笔,我想借一支。(one = a pen)
I have two pens, and I can lend one to you. 我有两本支钢笔,我可以借一支。(one = a pen)
I have a pen, and I can lend it to you. 我有一本钢笔,我可以把它借给你。(it = the pen)
在上面一题中,one 相当于 one 相当于 a repair shop。请做下面一题(答案选A):
There is only one English-Chinese dictionary in that book-shop. I wonder if you still want to buy _______.
A. it B. one
C. another D. any
5. Will you see to _______ that my children are taken good care of while I am away?
A. it B. me
C. yourself D. them
【陷阱】几个干扰项均有可能误选。
【分析】最佳答案是A。it 为形式宾语,真正的宾语是空格后that引导的宾语从句。see to 意为“负责”、“注意”,其中的 to 为介词,不宜直接跟that引导的宾语从句,遇此情况可借助代词 it。请做下面两题,答案也是选 it:
(1) I'll see to _______ that all these letters will be sent to the post before twelve.
A. it B. me
C. which D. them
(2) Will you see to _______ that the luggage is brought back as soon as possible?
A. me B. yourself
C. it D. them
类似以上 see to 用法的短语还有 depend on, answer for 等。如下面两题答案也选 it:
(1) You may depend on _______ that he will turn up in time.
A. it B. me
C. which D. them
(2) I can't answer for ________ that the boy is honest.
A. it B. me
C. which D. them
