英语在命题中有将对句子划线提问这一题型取消的趋势，现在采取的作法是对一个句子进行自由提问。例如：

　　句子：Theboyinbluehasthreepens.

　　提问：1.Whohasthreepens?

　　2.Whichboyhasthreepens?

　　3.Whatdoestheboyinbluehave?

　　4.Howmanypensdoestheboyinbluehave?

　　很显然，学生多了更多的回答角度，也体现了考试的灵活性。再如：

　　句子：Heusuallygoestotheparkwithhisfriendsat8:00onSunday.

　　提问：1.Whousuallygoestotheparkwithhisfriendsat8:00onSunday?

　　2.Wheredoesheusuallygowithhisfriendsat8:00onSunday?

　　3.Whatdoesheusuallydowithhisfriendsat8:00onSunday?

　　4.Withwhomdoesheusuallygototheparkat8:00onSunday?

　　5.WhattimedoesheusuallygototheparkwithhisfriendsonSunday?

　　6.Whendoesheusuallygototheparkwithhisfriends?
