試題分析：對(duì)反意疑問(wèn)句的回答，無(wú)論問(wèn)題的提法如何，如果事實(shí)是肯定的，就用yes，事實(shí)是否定的，就要用no。要特別注意陳述句部分是否定結(jié)構(gòu)，反意疑問(wèn)句部分用肯定式提問(wèn)時(shí)，回答yes或no與漢語(yǔ)正好相反。這種省略回答的yes要譯成“不”，no要譯成“是”。
例：—He likes playing football, doesn’t he? 他喜歡踢足球，是嗎？
—Yes, he does. / No, he doesn’t. 是的。/ 不是。
—His sister didn’t attend the meeting, did she? 他妹妹沒(méi)有參加會(huì)議，是嗎？
—Yes, she did. / No, she didn’t. 不，她參加了。/ 是的，她沒(méi)參加。
簡(jiǎn)要總結(jié)反意疑問(wèn)句19條：
1) 陳述部分的主語(yǔ)是I，疑問(wèn)部分要用 aren't I.
I'm as tall as your sister，aren't I?
2) 陳述部分的謂語(yǔ)是wish，疑問(wèn)部分要用may +主語(yǔ)。
I wish to have a word with you, may I?
3) 陳述部分用 no, nothing, nobody, never, few, seldom, hardly, rarely, little等否定含義的詞時(shí)，疑問(wèn)部分用肯定含義。
The Swede made no answer, did he / she?
Some plants never blown (開(kāi)花), do they ?
4) 含有ought to 的反意疑問(wèn)句，陳述部分是肯定的，疑問(wèn)部分用shouldn't / oughtn't +主語(yǔ)。
He ought to know what to do, oughtn't he? / shouldn't he?
5) 陳述部分有have to +v. (had to + v.)，疑問(wèn)部分常用don't +主語(yǔ)（didn't +主語(yǔ)）。
We have to get there at eight tomorrow, don't we?
6) 陳述部分的謂語(yǔ)是used to 時(shí)，疑問(wèn)部分用didn't +主語(yǔ)或 usedn't +主語(yǔ)。
He used to take pictures there, didn't he? / usedn't he?
7) 陳述部分有had better + v. 疑問(wèn)句部分用hadn't you?
You'd better read it by yourself, hadn't you?
8) 陳述部分有would rather +v.，疑問(wèn)部分多用 wouldn't +主語(yǔ)。
He would rather read it ten times than recite it, wouldn't he?
9) 陳述部分有You'd like to +v. 疑問(wèn)部分用wouldn't +主語(yǔ)。
You'd like to go with me, wouldn't you?
10) 陳述部分有must 的疑問(wèn)句，疑問(wèn)部分根據(jù)實(shí)際情況而定。

He must have finished it yesterday, didn't he?
11) 感嘆句中，疑問(wèn)部分用be +主語(yǔ)。
What colours, aren't they?
What a smell, isn't it?
12) 陳述部分由neither… nor, either… or 連接的并列主語(yǔ)時(shí)，疑問(wèn)部分根據(jù)其實(shí)際邏輯意義而定。
Neither you nor I am engineer, are we?
13) 陳述部分主語(yǔ)是指示代詞或不定代詞everything, that, nothing, this, 疑問(wèn)部分主語(yǔ)用it。
Everything is ready, isn't it?
14)陳述部分為主語(yǔ)從句或并列復(fù)合句，疑問(wèn)部分有三種情況：
a. 并列復(fù)合句疑問(wèn)部分，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞根據(jù)鄰近從句的謂語(yǔ)而定。
Mr. Smith had been to Beijing for several times, he should have been in China now, shouldn't he?
b. 帶有定語(yǔ)從句，賓語(yǔ)從句的主從復(fù)合句，疑問(wèn)部分謂語(yǔ)根據(jù)主句的謂語(yǔ)而定：
He is not the man who gave us a talk, is he?
He said he wanted to visit Japan, didn't he?
c. 上述部分主句謂語(yǔ)是think, believe, expect, suppose, imagine等引導(dǎo)的定語(yǔ)從句，疑問(wèn)部分與賓語(yǔ)從句相對(duì)應(yīng)構(gòu)成反意疑問(wèn)句。
I don't think he is bright, is he?
We believe she can do it better, can't she?
15) 陳述部分主語(yǔ)是不定代詞everybody, anyone, somebody, nobody, no one等，疑問(wèn)部分常用復(fù)數(shù)they，有時(shí)也用單數(shù)he。
Everyone knows the answer, don't they? (does he?)
Nobody knows about it, do they? (does he?)
16) 帶情態(tài)動(dòng)詞dare或need的反意疑問(wèn)句，疑問(wèn)部分常用 need (dare ) +主語(yǔ)。
We need not do it again, need we ?
He dare not say so, dare you?
當(dāng)dare, need 為實(shí)義動(dòng)詞時(shí)，疑問(wèn)部分用助動(dòng)詞do + 主語(yǔ)。
She doesn't dare to go home alone, does she?
17) 省去主語(yǔ)的祈使句的反意疑問(wèn)句，疑問(wèn)部分用will you。
Don't do that again, will you?
Go with me, will you / won't you ?
注意： Let's 開(kāi)頭的祈使句，后用shall we?
Let us 開(kāi)頭的祈使句，后用will you?
Let's go and listen to the music, shall we?
Let us wait for you in the reading-room, will you ?
18) 陳述部分是"there be"結(jié)構(gòu)的，疑問(wèn)部分用there省略主語(yǔ)代詞。
There is something wrong with your watch, isn't there?
There will not be any trouble, will there?
19) 否定前綴不能視為否定詞，其反意疑問(wèn)句仍用否定形式。
It is impossible, isn't it?
He is not unkind to his classmates, is he?
這里因?yàn)殛愂霾糠钟衒ew故后半部分用肯定形式，又因?yàn)榍懊嬗脛?dòng)詞can，故后面用can,應(yīng)選D。
考點(diǎn)：考查反意疑問(wèn)句的用法。
點(diǎn)評(píng)：本題較易。反意疑問(wèn)句是在初中學(xué)過(guò)的，但是在高中階段它仍然是重點(diǎn)，需要考生牢記這些用法。
即學(xué)即練：He is not the man who gave us a talk, _____?
解析：is he。
