how式句型考點展播

郝昌明

在初中英語里，how可引導(dǎo)特殊疑問句、賓語從句和感嘆句，也可與不定式連用，還可用于一些習慣表達的句式之中。這些句式表達效果好，使用頻率高，成為中考試題最為走俏的句式考點。本文結(jié)合近幾年各地中考英語試題介紹how的熱點句型。

一、how引導(dǎo)特殊疑問句

how可做特殊疑問詞，引導(dǎo)特殊疑問句，意為“如何、怎樣”，用來詢問做事方式或手段。

做特殊疑問詞時how也可以短語的形式出現(xiàn)引導(dǎo)特殊疑問句，此時它意為“多么”。這樣的短語常見的有how often，how long，how soon，how far，how many，how much，how old等。其中，how often，how long與how soon在中考試題中出現(xiàn)頻率很高。

1. how often意為“多久一次”，詢問動作發(fā)生的頻率，回答時常用“every +基數(shù)詞+復(fù)數(shù)名詞”，表示“每（隔）……”。

【真題1】（2014年蘇州卷） — do you go to the sports club？

—At least once a week.

A. How long B. How often

C. How muchD. How far

解析：B。由“At least once a week.”可以判斷，上一句詢問頻率，因此應(yīng)填How often引導(dǎo)特殊疑問句。

【真題2】（2014年無錫卷） — is the World Cup held？

—Every 4 years.

A. How soonB. How often

C. WhenD. Where

解析：B。由答語可判斷出上一句詢問頻率，因此應(yīng)填How often引導(dǎo)特殊疑問句。

【真題3】（2014年鹽城卷） — does Nancy help the old lady with her housework？

—About twice a week.

A. How oftenB. How long

C. How muchD. How soon

解析：A。由答語可判斷出上一句詢問頻率，因此應(yīng)由How often引導(dǎo)特殊疑問句。

2. how long意為“多久、多長”，既可詢問動作或狀態(tài)持續(xù)的時間，也可詢問物體長度。how long用于詢問時間時，常用“for +時間段”或“since +時間點”來作答。

【真題1】（2014年宿遷卷） — have you lived in Suqian， Jane？

—For about 16 years.

A. How manyB. How much

解析：C。由“For about 16 years.”可推斷出，空格處表示“多久”，因此應(yīng)填How long引導(dǎo)特殊疑問句。

【真題2】（2014年連云港卷） — will the fog and haze last？

—Ive no idea. There is no sign of an end.

A. How soonB. How far

【真題3】（2014年廈門卷） — does it take from our school to the farm by bus？

—About one hour and a half.

A. How farB. How long

C. How often

3. how soon意為“要過多久”，詢問某事要過多長時間才能完成或某人要過多長時間才能完成某事，常用in表示的未來時間作答。

【真題1】（2014年上海卷） — can you finish the report on food safety？

—In two days.

A. How farB. How much

C. How oftenD. How soon

解析：D。由“In two days.”可以推出上一句問的是“你還要多久才能完成有關(guān)食品安全的報告？”，因此應(yīng)填How soon。

【真題】（2014年青島卷） — is it from your home to school？

—Its three miles.

A. How farB. How long

解析：A。由from your home to school和“Its three miles.”可以推出，空格處表示“多遠”，因此應(yīng)填How far。

5. how much意為“多少”，可修飾或指代不可數(shù)名詞。

【真題1】（2012年北京卷） — is the dictionary？

C. How longD. How often

解析：B。上一句問的是“這張CD多少錢”，因此應(yīng)填How much。

6. how many意為“多少”，可修飾或指代復(fù)數(shù)可數(shù)名詞。

【真題】（2014年北京卷） — people are there in your family？

—Three.

A. How oftenB. How long

C. How manyD. How much

解析：C。由“Three.”可以推出空格處表示“多少”，因其修飾可數(shù)名詞people，因此應(yīng)填How many。

二、how引導(dǎo)賓語從句

how既可做連詞獨自引導(dǎo)賓語從句（此時意為“如何、怎樣”），也可構(gòu)成短語引導(dǎo)賓語從句（此時意為“多……”）。how及其短語引導(dǎo)的賓語從句均應(yīng)使用陳述語序。

【真題】（2014年南京卷） —David， could you tell me ？

—Every four years.

A. when the 2014 World Cupwill finish

B. how often the World Cup takes place

C. how many teams take part in the World Cup

D. who may score the most goals inthe 2014 World Cup

解析：B。由“Every four years.”可以推出，空格處詢問“頻率”，因此賓語從句應(yīng)由how often引導(dǎo)。

三、“how +不定式”

“how +不定式”在句中可做主語、賓語或表語，表示“如何……”，具有名詞功能。

【真題1】（2011年蘭州卷） We cant work out the physics problem. Can you tell us ？

A. how to doB. what to do it

C. how to do itD. what should to do

解析：C。由語境邏輯可以推出，空格處表示“如何做這道物理題”，所以應(yīng)用how to do it做賓語。

【真題2】（2011年北京卷） —Excuse me， could you tell me how to Beijing Zoo？

—Well， you may take Bus No. 27.

A. getB. gets

C. gettingD. to get

解析：D。答語“Well， you may take Bus No. 27.”暗示，空格處表示“（如何）到達”，所以應(yīng)填to get。

四、how引導(dǎo)感嘆句

how可做感嘆詞，引導(dǎo)兩種感嘆句：① “How +原級形容詞或副詞+主語+謂語+！”；②“How +形容詞+a / an +單數(shù)可數(shù)名詞+主語+謂語+！”。

【真題1】（2014年南京卷） — brave Zhang Hua is！
