動詞和動詞短語是歷年高考單項(xiàng)填空考查的核心熱點(diǎn)，每年必考，一般占1-2道題。設(shè)題時(shí)往往都是給出四個不同的動詞或動詞短語(有時(shí)是同一動詞與不同介詞或副詞的搭配)來測試考生在具體語境中對動詞及動詞短語意義的理解和實(shí)際運(yùn)用能力。動詞及動詞短語的考查點(diǎn)多面廣，綜合性強(qiáng)，備受命題者青睞。
考點(diǎn)一、考查動詞詞義辨析
這類試題的四個選項(xiàng)是在結(jié)構(gòu)上都很相近的動詞。要做好這類試題，必須明確各個動詞的詞義和用法，然后根據(jù)題意需要選用合適的動詞。
例Recently, these companies have _______ some workers because of the drop in economy.
A. hired B. dismissed
C. refused D. employed
【解析】四個選項(xiàng)都是及物動詞，且都可以與worker構(gòu)成動賓關(guān)系，但從題干中的the drop in ?economy可知，只有B項(xiàng)符合題意。
考點(diǎn)二、 考查近義動詞辨析
這類試題的四個選項(xiàng)無論在意義上還是在結(jié)構(gòu)上都是很相近的動詞。面對這類試題，必須要從四個動詞的語義差別、用法特點(diǎn)等入手才能選出符合題意的動詞。
例When his brother was to cross the s treet, he was knocked down by a truck and badly _______。
A. injured B d amaged
C. harmed D. destroyed
