备考高考英语短语动词有技巧

一、弄清高考英语短语动词的命题特点

短语动词是高考英语的一个十分重要的考点，且这类考点的特点非常明显，即它们主要涉及由do, go, get, set, put, have, give, call, take, turn, come, make, keep, bring, look, die, save, pick, work, watch, blow, burst 等常用动词所构成的短语动词。比如2005年全国15道短语动词考题共涉及12个常用动词，它们是 ask, cut, get, see, give, have, come, pick, bring, pick, make, refer等；2006年全国12道短语动词考题共涉及21个常用动词，它们是come, go, get, look, take, make, break, work, call, turn, keep, bring, pick, put, set, fix, die, blow, draw, save, watch 等。尤其有趣的是，2006年的湖北卷竟在有限的15道单项填空题中考查了4道短语动词辨析题，它们是：

1. It’s already 10 o’clock I wonder how it _______ that she was two hours late on such a short trip. (2006湖北卷)

A. came over         B. came out           C. came about       D. came up

2. The building around the corner caught fire last night. The police are now _______ the matter. (2006湖北卷)

A. geeing through   B. working out       C. looking into  D. watching over

3. As I grew up in a small town at the foot of a mountain, the visit to the village _______ scenes of my childhood. (2006湖北卷)

A. called up           B. called for           C. called on           D. called in

4. Although the wind has _______, the rain remains steady, so you still need a raincoat. (2006湖北卷)

A. turned up          B. gone back          C. died down         D. blown out

【解说】答案分别是CCAC。其中第1题的 come about 意的意思是“发生”，空格前的 it 为形式主语，其后的 that she was two hour late on such a short trip 为主语从句。第2题的 look into 意为“调查”；第3题的 call up 意为“唤起”“使（人）想起”；第4题的die down 意为“变弱”“逐渐停止”“渐渐消失”。

二、把握高考英语短语动词的三种常考类型

英语短语动词由动词后接介词或副词小品词构成，这类小品词主要包括 in, on, into, to, out, up, down, off, away, over, about, along等。具体说来，高考英语对短语动词的考查主要涉及以下三种类型：

1. 动词相同，但小品词不同

(1) With no one to ______ in such a frightening situation, she felt very helpless. (2006陕西卷)

A. turn to                     B. turn on              C. turn off             D. turn over

【解说】答案选 A。turn to 在此表示“求助于”。

2. 动词不同，但小品词相同

(1) For all these years I have been working for others. I’m hoping I’ll ______ my own business some day. (2006江西卷)

A. turn up             B. fix up               C. set up               D. make up   

【解说】答案选C。set up 在此表示“成立”“建立”。

3. 动词不同，小品词也不同

—How are you managing to do your work without an assistant?

—Well, I ______ somehow. (2006重庆卷)

A. get along           B. come on            C. watch out          D. set off

【解说】答案选 A。get along 在此表示“进行”“进展”。
