A. What a B. How a C. What D. How
2. --- _______ the flowers are! --- They smell good.
A. How beautiful B. What beautiful
C. How a beautiful D. What a beautiful
解析:skirt”是可数名词单数,“beautiful”是形容词,用“What a/an + 形容词 + 可数名词单数”结构,“beautiful”以辅音音素开头,用“a”。
解析:“flowers”是名词复数,“How + 形容词/副词 + 主语 + 谓语”,这里“beautiful”是形容词,直接修饰“flowers”,用“How beautiful the flowers are!”。
Other exercises
3. ______ carefully she does her homework!
A. What B. What a C. How D. How a
4. ______ big eyes the baby has!
A. What B. What a C. How D. How a
解析:“carefully”为副词,修饰动词“does”,感叹句结构为“How + 副词 + 主语 + 谓语!”。
解析:“eyes”为复数名词,感叹句结构为“What + 形容词 + 复数名词 + 主语 + 谓语!”。
Other exercises
5. ______ wonderful movie we saw last night!
A. What B. What a C. How D. How a
6. ______ lovely the weather is today!
A. What B. What a C. How D. How a
解析:“movie”为单数可数名词,感叹句结构为“What a + 形容词 + 单数名词 + 主语 + 谓语!”。
解析:“lovely”为形容词,感叹句结构为“How + 形容词 + 主语 + 谓语!”。
Other exercises
7. To master a foreign language so thoroughly in just six months, ______ astonishing progress he has evidently made!
A. What B. What an C. How D. How an
解析:核心名词是“progress”,为不可数名词。尽管前面有形容词“astonishing”,感叹结构是“What + 形容词 + 不可数名词”,故用“What”。
Other exercises
8. ______ from a state of complete despair to one of radiant hope the therapy has helped our patient travel!
A. What a long journey
B. How long a journey
C. What long journey
D. How long journey
解析: 句子主干是“the therapy has helped our patient travel a long journey”。这里感叹的是“旅程之长”,重点在形容词“long”。使用“How long a journey”符合“How + adj. + a/an + n.”的结构,且句子采用了倒装(将from...短语提前),增加了难度。
Other exercises
9. Upon discovering the ancient manuscript perfectly preserved in the cave, ______ it was for the entire archaeological community!
A. what a significant find
B. how significant a find
C. what significant find
D. how significant find
解析: 句子主干是“it was a significant find”。这里强调“发现的重要性程度”,应用“How”来修饰形容词“significant”。“How significant a find”是“How + adj. + a/an + n.”的标准结构。A项语法正确,但侧重指“一个多么重要的发现”,而原句更强调“多么重要”。
Other exercises
10. ___________ exciting football match it was!
11. __________ happy the children look!
12. ____________ sad story she told us!
What an
How
解析:football match”为单数可数名词,且“exciting”以元音音素开头,用“What an”。
解析:“happy”为形容词,感叹句结构为“How + 形容词 + 主语 + 谓语!”。
What a
解析:“story”为单数可数名词,用“What a”。
Other exercises
13. _________ delicious food they served!
14. ___________ honest boy Tom is!
15. _________ foolishly he acted by investing all his money without conducting any market research!
What
What an
解析:“food”为不可数名词,用“What”。
解析:“boy”为单数可数名词,且“honest”以元音音素开头(h不发音),用“What an”。
How
解析:“foolishly”是副词,修饰动词“acted”,感叹其方式,用How。
Other exercises
16. _________ little attention they paid to the warnings, which ultimately led to the accident!
17. _________ profound impact a single act of kindness can have on a person struggling with loneliness!
How
解析:“little”表示“少得可怜”,是形容词,修饰不可数名词“attention”。“How little attention they paid”感叹“注意力之少”。注与“What little attention”区别,后者通常引导定语从句What little attention they paid was ineffective,而这里是主句。
What a
解析: 核心名词是单数可数名词“impact”,句子主干是“a single act of kindness can have a profound impact”。感叹结构是“What a + 形容词 + 单数名词”。
