代詞試題范圍狹窄，淺顯明了，很容易得分，而且有一明顯規律可以遵循：A、B、C、D四個選擇中如有代詞出現，它通常就是此題的答案。代詞又稱代名詞，其作用是指代句中相關的名詞，所以代詞的題目通常與其所指代的名詞有關。
命題焦點集中在；（1）代詞與其所指代的名詞單復數是否一致，（2）代詞與其所指代名詞是否統一，（3）反身代詞的用法。
代詞常考題型及解題要點
1. 代詞應與其指代的名詞單復數一致
解題要點 如A、B、C、D四項選擇答案中有代詞出現，首先要找到它所指代的名詞，并確認其單數是否一致。
例題分析
（1）Silver*s most distinguishing property is their electrical conductivity.
(答案) 代詞their指代的是句首的單數名詞silver,故應改為its。
(2) Countries tend to specialize in the production and export of those goods and services that it can produce relatively cheaply.
(答案) 代詞it指代的是句子主語Counties, 所以應用復數形式they。
（3）A traditional Halloween decoration is a jack-o-lantern, which is a hollowed-out pumpkin with scary face cut into them.
(答案) 根據句意，代詞there指代的是單數名詞Punplcin (jack-o-lantern), 故應用單數代詞it。
（4）Since flounders have markings that biend with their surroundings, it can lie camouflaged on the bottom of the ocean.
(答案) 代詞it指代的是句首復數名詞flounders,故應用復數形式的代詞the。
2.代詞應與其指代的名詞在稱謂、性、格等方面完全一致
例題分析
（1） Paprika is less biting than red cayenne pepper, and she has a sweeper taste. (94.1)
(答案) 人稱代詞指代的是paprika（紅燈籠辣椒，即使不認識此詞，亦可從后文的pepper推斷出這是一種辣椒），故應改為指物的it。
（2） Ethel Harveg’s career illustrates some of the challenges encountered by women scientists of her generation as they sought support for they work.
(答案) 代詞they 指代的是前文的woman scientists, 根據句意，這里應改用代詞的所有格形式their,用來限定后面的wonk。
（3） Many critics believe that Amy Lowell*s most important work is not her poetry, but his biography, John Keats, published the year of her death.
(答案) 男性代詞his 指代的是作家Amy Lowell。即使你不清楚Amy是女性名字，亦可從句中her poetry 及her death得知此作家為女性。所以這里應用代詞her。
（4）Our urge to classify different life forms and give us names seems to be as old as the human race.
(答案) 根據句意，代詞as指的應是different life forms,而非動作的施事者“我們”，所以此代詞應改為them, 表明動作的承受者。
3. 反身代詞-self
解題要點 反身代詞通常有兩種語法功能，其一是強調句中某一名詞，其二是當主詞（動作施事者）與受詞（動作承受者）為同一人或物時，受詞應用反身代詞。第二種功能, 一般來講，A、B、C、D四個選擇答案中有反身代詞出現，它通常是此題的命題焦點。
例題分析
（1）When a severe ankle injury forced herself to give up reporting in 1926, Margaret Mitchell began writing her novel Gone with the Wind.
(答案) 此句主詞為ankle injury,其受詞則指的是Margaret Mitchell.二者并非同一人/物，故不能使用反身代詞，應改為her。
（2） A motion picture director for over twenty years. Weber stamped her films with herself style and personal conviction.
(答案) 反身代詞不能作定語修飾說明名詞，此句的herself應改為her own。
（3） In a controversial cating guide entitled Are You hungry? Jane Hirschmann and Lela Zaphiropolous argue that children instinctively know what foods are good for selves.
(答案) 反身代詞通常應有完整的形式，不能單獨使用self,或selves形式。此句應改為themselves.
(4) Researchers at the University of Colorado are investigating a series of indicators that could help themselves to predict earthquakes.
(答案) 反身代詞themselves
