将大白老师的“横纵法”运用到单项选择动词辨析类题目中，发现workers可以发出ABCD四个动作不可由此推断，但题目中给了另一个信息——and——标志动作前后顺序，更符合逻辑的动作为先“pack” 后“mark”。

情景交际
一般疑问句提问应用Yes. / No. 回答置于句首，排除B、D。而A项含义为“难怪，不足为奇”，此选项为干扰项，答题时需要考虑中西方交际用语习惯和思维上的差异，不可看见一个词就妄下定论。
单选题目整体分析：2010年全国卷单项选择题目较以往淡化了语法知识的考察，取而代之的是语境中语法项目的应用。所考题目难点不在于对于某一个语法项目的深度考察，而是能否透视出具体语境中语法项目基本用法公式的引申表达法,如23、26、28、30等题目。
考点变化：2010年全国卷单项选择题没有考察冠词，增加了情景交际的考察比例。结合出题方式分析，不难发现高考越来越淡化单纯的语法考察而是向简单化、实用化趋势发展。
个人认为，今后高中语法课可与听说结合，以应用、实用为主，教师须不断挖掘当代英语情景交际下，符合大众特别是高中生常听常用的语言。
