语法复习专题一——名词
一、考点聚焦
1.可数名词单、复数变化形式
(1)规则变化。
①单数名词词尾直接加-s。如:boy — boys, pen — pens。
②以s、x 、ch 、sh结尾的单词一般加-es。如:glass — glasses,box— boxes, watch — watches, brush — brushes。
特例:stomach — stomaches。
③以“辅音字母 + y”结尾的变“y”为“i”再加“-es”。如:
baby — babies, lady — ladies, fly — flies。
④以“o”结尾的多数加-es。如:tomato — tomatoes, potato — potatoes, hero — heroes。但以两个元音字母结尾的名词和部分外来词中以o结尾的词只加-s。 如:radio — radios, zoo — zoos, photo — photos, piano — pianos, kilo — kilos, tobacco — tobaccos。
⑤以“f”或“fe”结尾的名词复数形式变“f”或“fe”为“v”,之后再加-es。如:wife — wives, life — lives, knife — knives, wolf— wolves, self — selves, leaf — leaves等。特例:handkerchief— handkerchiefs, roof — roofs, chief — chiefs, gulf — gulfs, belief — beliefs, cliff — cliffs。
⑥改变元音字母的。如:man — men, mouse — mice, foot — feet,
woman — women, tooth — teeth, goose — geese, ox — oxen。特例:child — children。
⑦复合名词的复数形式。(A)在复合词中最后名词尾加-s。如:armchair — armchairs, bookcase — bookcases, bookstore — book-
stores。(B)man和woman作定语修饰另一个名词时,前后两个名词都要变成复数。如:man doctor — men doctors, woman driver — women dri-
vers。(C)与介词或副词一起构成的复合名词应在主体名词部分加-s。如:brother-in-law — brothers-in-law, passer-by — passers-by。
⑧有的名词有两种复数形式。如:zero — zeros 、zeroes, deer —
deers 、deer。penny的两种复数形式含义有所不同。如:pence(便士的钱数),pennies(便士的枚数)。
(2)不规则变化。
①单、复数同形。如:means, aircraft, deer, fish, Chinese,
Japanese, sheep, works(工厂),cattle。
②合成名词的复数。如:boy-friend — boy-friends, go-between— go-betweens(中间人),grown-up — grown-ups。
③有些名词通常只用作复数。如:glasses眼镜,clothes衣服,goods
货物,trousers裤子,belongings所有物,wages工资,riches财富, surroundings环境,ashes灰尘, campasses圆规,cattle家畜,congratulations祝贺,have words with sb. 同某人吵架,in high spirits以很高热情地,give one’s regards to sb.向某人问侯,in rags衣衫破烂,It is good manners to do sth.有礼貌做某事。
④集体名词的数。有些集体名词通常只用作复数,如:people,
cattle, police; 有些名词只用作单数,如:machinery, furniture, mankind, jewellery;有些名词既可用作单数又可用作复数,单数看做整体,复数看做集体的各个成员。如:The crew is large.船员人数很多(指整体);The crew are all tired.船员们都累坏了(个体)。
2、不可数名词的数
(1)一般说来抽象名词为不可数名词,但当抽象名词表示具体的东西时,可用作可数名词且词义发生变化,主要类型如下:
①抽象名词表示具有某种特性、状态、感情情绪的人或事。如:
抽象名词(不可数) 具体化(个体名词,可数名词)
in surprise惊讶地 a surprise一件令人惊讶的事
win success获得成功 a success一个(件)成功的人(事)
win honor赢得荣誉 an honor一个(件)引以为荣的(事)
Failure(失败)is the mother of success a failure失败者
失败是成功之母。
by experience靠经验 an experience一次经历
youth青春 a youth一个青年人
have pity on sb.怜悯某人 a pity可惜的事情
with pleasure乐意 a pleasure乐事
②抽象名词与a(an)连用,淡化了抽象概念,转化为似乎可以体验到的动作、行为或类别。如:
A knowledge of English is a must in international trade.
Would you like to have a walk (swim, bath, talk) with me?
It is waste of time reading such a novel.
She made an apology to her mother for her wrong doings.
(2)物质名词是不可数名词,但表示数量或种类之多时,可以用作可数名词。如:
①物质名词有形或数的相应物体,有单、复数。如:some coffee一些咖啡,a coffee一杯咖啡,three coffees三杯咖啡,some drink一些饮料, a drink一杯饮料,three drinks三杯饮料,his hair他的头发,a few grey hairs几根白发,glass玻璃,a glass一只玻璃杯。
②物质名词有前置后置修饰时,前面要使用不定冠词。
have breakfast The road is covered with snow.
have a wonderful breakfast They have a heavy snow every year.
Time and tide wait for no man.
We had a wonderful time last night.
(3)有复数形式的不可数名词
①有些抽象名词往往以复数形式出现,起到一种丰富语言感情色彩或强调某种特殊状态的作用。如:
Use your brains, please.
They have smoothed away the difficulties.
Have you made preparations for tomorrow’s meeting?
Many thanks for your kindness.
No pains, no gains.
After many failures, they finally succeeded.
②有些物质名词以复数形式出现,表示数量之多,范围之广。如:
The boy burst into tears at the bad news.
The rising waters did a lot of harm to the crops.
The stone bridge broke down in heavy rains.
3.名词所有格
(1)“’s”所有格的特殊表示形式有:
① 用于表示时间、距离、价格、重量等的名词后,如:today’s
newspaper, five minutes’ walk(drive),five pounds’ weight, ten dollars’ worth of coffee。
②用于表示国家、世界、城市等地方的名词后。如:the earth’s planet, the word’s population, China’s industry, New York’s parks。
(2)“of”所有格的特殊表示方式有:
①表示“部分”时,一般在所修饰的名词前有一个表示数量的词(a、two、several、some、no、many等),如:Some students of Mister Zhang’s have gone
to college.张老师的一些学生已经上大学了。
②表示“其中之一,其中一部分”的意思时,用:a friend of Tom’s
汤姆的一个朋友(许多朋友中的一位)。
③表示赞扬、批评或厌恶等感情色彩时,应该用:that/this/these/
those + 名词(单、复数)of Mary’s/yours/his/hers。如:
That invention of hers belongs to the world. 她的那项发明是属于全世界的(表赞赏)。
4、名词作定语
英语中有些名词没有其对应的同根形容词,这些名词可以直接用来作定语修饰另一个名词。
(1)分类意义。
air pollution 空气污染 boy friend 男朋友
coffee cup咖啡杯 income tax所得税
tennis ball网球 song writer歌曲作家
body language身体语言 road accident交通事故
Nobel Prize诺贝尔奖
(2)时间、地点、称呼等。
Doctor Jack杰克医生 Professor Li李教授
evening school夜校 winter sleep冬眠
street dance 街舞 country music乡村音乐
village people村民 school education学校教育
China problem中国问题
(3)表目的、手段、来源,所属意义。
reception desk接待台 sports field田径场
stone table石桌 color TV彩电
weather report天气预报
二、精典名题导解
选择填空
1. It is generally believed that teaching is ___________it is a science. (NMET 2001)
A. an art much as B. much an art as
C. as an art much as D. as much an art as
解析:答案为D。当名词前有what、so、as、too、quite等词修饰时,其形容词被这些词修饰,组成下列结构,如:What a nice book! This is too heavy a box for me to carry. He is not as honest a boy as Mike.等,应采取too/how + 形容词(副词)+ a(an) + 名词的形式。要记住一些类似的特殊结构,并加以分析。
2. The police are offering a __________to anyone who can give information about the lost key.(NMET 1999)
A. price B. prize C. reward D. money
解析:答案为C。price 价格,价钱;prize奖金。D项是钱,属不可数名词,题中所要填的是“酬金,报酬”。注意正确理解名词的含义及其搭配是活用语言的基础,在复习备考中要熟练掌握考纲中一些名词的词义、搭配、习惯等,才能更好辨析名词,从而选择最符合句意的选项。
3.You’ll find this map of great _____________in helping you to get round London.(NMET 1998)
A. price B. cost C. value D. usefulness
解析:答案为C。本题考查特定语境中名词的词义及“be of + 抽象名词”结构。Price (价格),cost(价钱,费用,成本)不符合题意,value作“quality of being useful or desirable”解时,常与of搭配,在句中作表语或补语,意为“有用,有价值”。故选择value。注意名词词义辨异及惯用法表达,题中“of + 抽象名词”相当于该名词的形容词形式。
4.If you buy more than ten, they knock 20 pence off .
A. a price B. price C. the price D. price
解析:答案为C。本题考冠词和名词。全句合理句意应是:如果你买超过10个,他们从(现在标出的)价格上减价20便士。此处价格是特指的定价,所以C项最佳。
5.The journey around the world took the old sailor nine moths, the sailing time was 226 days.
A. of which B. during which C. from which D. for which
解析:答案为B。辨析名词语义, a distance of +数字“……距离”。
6. I keep medicines on the top shelf, out of the children’s .
A. reach B. hand C. hold D. place
解析:答案为A。“out of reach”是“超出某人够得着的范围”,即“够不着”的意思,药品应放到孩子够不到的地方。

二、精典名题导解
选择填空
1. The warmth of ______sweater will of course be determined by the sort of ____wool used.(NMET 2001)
A.The ; the B.the ; / C./; the D./; /
解析:答案为B。第一空格为特指,交待the warmth的内容,第二空格为泛指,the sort of wool used所用羊毛的种类。此题有三点需注意:①正确理解sweater 这一句词在句中的类别。②掌握determine在句中作“决定”、“取决于”这个意思。③掌握定冠词表特指的基本用法。
2. Most animals have little connection with_________animals of___________different kind unless they kill them for food.(NMET 2000)
A.the … a B./ … a C.the … the D./ … the
解析:答案为B。名词复数表类别,其前不用冠词,故第一个空格不填冠词,表不定概念的“一种”,“某种”要用不定冠词a。要准确掌握冠词表类别的三种表达方式和不定冠词常用的几种情况,见前面要点考点聚焦内容。
3. Paper money was in___________use in China when Marco Polo visited the country in __________thirteenth century.(NMET1999)
A.the … / B.the … the C./ … the D./ … /
解析:答案为C。题中in use是固定搭配,意为“在使用”,use为抽象名词,其前不用冠词。后者是序数词前用定冠词the。要牢记一些固定搭配如in use、under construction(在建设中)、in debt(欠债)、come to power(执政)、on fire(着火)、at table(用餐)、out of work(失业)等。
4. When you come here for your holiday next time don’t go to hotel; I can find you bed in my flat.
A. the; a B. the; 不填 C. a; the D. a; 不填
解析:答案为C。考定语从句。主句部分应是The English play at the New Year’s party was a great success. 从句补全为独立句子就是my students acted in the play.所以应选in which,其余介词不妥。
5.—John, there is Mr. Wilson on the phone for you.
—I’m in bath.
A. a; the B. the; a C. a; 不填 D. the; 不填
解析:答案为A。本题考查冠词用法。a+姓名,表示“一个叫……的人”;in the bath在浴室。
6. Tom owns larger collection of books than any other student in our class.
A. the; 不填 B. a; 不填 C. a; the D. 不填; the
解析:答案为B。考冠词,collection是可数名词,须填冠词,被比较级修饰,但是大范围的比较,故填不定冠词,后一空是泛指的表类别的书,且已用了复数,不填冠词。故选B。
语法复习专题三——代词
一、考点聚焦
代词分为九类:人称代词、物主代词、反身代词、相互代词、指示代词疑问代词、连接代词、不定代词、关系代词。大多数代词具有名词和形容词的作用。
1、人称代词
(1)人称代词作主语用主格,作宾语、表语用宾格,但应注意以下4中情况:
①作主语的人称代词如果孤立地使用于无谓语动词的句子中,或在这种句子中与动词不定式连用,常用宾格。
—Does any of you know where Tom lives?
—Me.
What! Me (to) play him at chess? No!
②句子中代词作宾语或宾语补足语时,与所替代的名词在人称、数、格在意义上一般要保持前后一致。
The thief was thought to be he.(the thief是主格,故用he代替)
They took me to be her.他们误以为我是她。(me是宾格,故用her替代)
③作表语人称代词一般用宾格,但在强调句型中,被强调部分代词的格不变。
I met her in the hospital.→It was her who I met in the hospital.
④在比较级的句子中than、as后用主格、宾格都可以。如:He is taller than me(I).但在下列句中有区别。
I like Jack as much as her.=I like both Jack and her.
I like Jack as much as she.=I like Jack and she likes him, too.
(2)两个以上的人称代词并列,其次序排列原则:
①在并列主语中,“I”总是放在最后,排列顺序为:二 三 一(人称)。宾格me也一样。
You ,she and I will be in charge of the case.
Mr.Zhang asked Li Hua and me to help him.
②第三人称,男女两性并用,男先女后。
He and she still don’t agree to the plan.
(3)几个人称代词的特殊用法。
①we/you(口语)常用来泛指一般人。
②she可以代表国家、船只、大地、月亮等。
The “Titanic”was the largest, wasn’t she?
2.物主代词
(1)名词和形容词性物主代词各自的语法功能。
(2)one’s own…=...of one’s own句式的转换。
(3)某些固定结构中常用定冠词代替物主代词。
如: take sb. by the arm, be wounded in the leg.
3.反身代词
(1)反身代词的语法功能:宾语、表语、主语或宾语的同位语。
(2)反身代词和某些动词连有,构成固定短语。
enjoy oneself, feel oneself, make oneself at home, make oneself understood
(3)反身代词还可用于某些成语中。
for oneself为自己或独立地,of oneself自然地,自动地
by oneself独自地,in oneself本身性质,beside oneself喜怒哀愁至极
This problem gets a chapter to itself.这个问题占了一章(独有)。
Just between ourselves, I don’t think much of him.私下地说我并不怎么看重他。
They were discussing about it among themselves.(相互共同)
Left to himself he began to write.别人走后只留下他,他写了起来。
I’m very angry with myself.生自己的气。
4.相互代词(each other, one another)
相互代词无人称、数和格的区别,在句中作宾语。其所有格分别为each other’s 、one another’s ,作定语。
一般来说,each other指两者之间,one another指三者或三者以上之间,但现在区分已不明显。
5.指示代词(this, that , these, those, such, same)
指示代词具有形容词和代词两种词性,在句子中可以作定语、主语、宾语或表语等。
(1)指示代词this和that的区别。
①this (these)一般指时间或空间上较近的人或物;that(those)常指时间或空间较远的人或物。
This is my desk and that is yours.
In those days they could not go to school.
②this常指后面要讲到的事物,有启下的作用;that则指前面讲到过的事物,有承上的作用。
I want to tell you this:the English party will be held on Saturday afternoon.
He hurt his leg yesterday. That’s why he didn’t come.
③为了避免重复,常用that或those代替前面已提过的名词。
The weather of Beijing is colder than that of Nanjing.
The ears of a rabbit are longer than those of a fox.
④this在电话用语中作自我介绍,that询问对方;this和that可以当副词用,意思相当于副词so。
(2)such和same的用法。
①such指“这样的”人或事,在句中作主语和定语。
Such was the story.
We have never seen such a tall building.
②same指“同样的”人或事,在句中作主语、表语、宾语和定语,same的前面要用定冠词the.
The same can be said of the other article.
另一篇文章也是同样的情况。(主语)
Whether he can do it or not,it is all the same to me.
他是否能做这事,对我来说都一样。(表语)
6、疑问代词(who,whom,which,what,whose)
疑问代词在句中作主语、宾语、定语和表语。
(1)who/what
①询问姓名或关系。——Who is he? ——He is my brother./He is
Henry.询问职业或地位。——What is he? ——He is a lawyer/teacher.
②What/who 作主语时,谓语动词的数取决于说话人的视点,可单数也可复数。
What is /are on the table?
Who is/are in the library?
(2)which与who、what
which表示在一定范围内,而who、what则无此限制。
I found two books on the desk.Which is yours?
7.连接代词和关系代词
连接代词与疑问代词的形式相同,主要有who、whom、whose、what、which以及它们与ever合成的代词whoever、whomever、whatever、whichever等。它们用来引导主语从句,宾语从句和表语从句,即连接复合句中的主句和从句,并在从句中担任一定的句子成分,以连接代词引起的名词性从句前不能再加that.
关系代词是用来引导定语从句的代词,它们包括who、whom、whose、which、that等。这两类代词的用法详见“名词性从句”和“定语从句”部分。
8、不定代词
不定代词主要有:all、each、every、both、either、neither、one、none、little、few、many、much、other、another、some、any、no等。还有由some、any、no和every构成合成代词,不定代词具有名词和形容词的性质,并有可数和不可数之分,在句中可以作主语、表语、宾语、同位语、定语、状语等(every、no只能作定语)。下面介绍几组主要不定代词的用法与区别。
(1)some与any
一般用法:some、any可与单、复数可数名词及不可数名词连有。some一般用于肯定句,any多用于疑问、否定或条件句。
He has some Chinese paintings.(定语)
Some like sports,others like music.(主语)
Ask me if you have any questions.(定语)
Do you have any questions to ask?(定语)
I don’t know any of the students.(宾语)
特殊用法:
①any用于肯定句表示“任何”的意思。
Any child can do that.(定语)
You may take any of them.(宾语)
②some用于单数可数名词前表示“某一”。
Smith went to some place in England.(定语)
③在期待对方回答yes 时,some用在表示请求或邀请的问句中。
Would you like some bananas?(邀请)
Mum,could you give me some money?(请求)
④some 用于否定句表示部分否定。
I don’t know some of the students.(宾语)
some和any在句中还可作状语,作副词。some意为“大约”相当于“about”,而any则表示程度,意为“稍,丝毫”。如:
There are some 300 workers on strike.
Do you feel any better today?
(2) One, both, all
①one作定语、表语、主语或宾语,可以指人或物,表示“一个”的意思,其复数为ones,指人时,其所有格是one’s,反身代词是oneself.
One should try one’s best to serve the people.(主语、定语)
This is not the one I want.(表语)
one、ones可以代替上文提到过的名词,以免重复,one、ones前面分别可以用this、that、these、those或the、which等词修饰。如:
These books are more interesting than those ones.
Here are three pens.Which one is yours,this one or that one or the one in the pencil-box?

This maths problem can be worked out in both ways.(定语)
Both of the boys are here.(主语)
We both are students.(同位语)
注意:both用于否定句,表示部分否定;表示完全否定时,用neither。如:Both of us are not teachers.我们俩并不都是教师。
Neither of us is a teacher. 我们俩都不是教师。
both不能放在the、these、those、my等之后,而应放在它们的前面。如:Both my parents like this film.
Both the /these boys are tall.

None of the money is mine.这钱一分也不是我的。
(3)many和much
many和much都表示“许多”,但many修饰或代替复数可数名词,much修饰或代替不可数名词。它们在句中可作主语、宾语、定语。much有时用作状语。
(4)few, little; a few, a little
few和little表示没有多少,含否定意义;而a few 和a little表示有一些,有几个,含肯定意义。另外,few、a few 修饰可数名词;little、a little修饰不可数名词。它们在句中常用作定语、主语和宾语。

either是“两者中任何一个”的意思,可修饰或代替单数可数名词,neither是“两者中没有一个”的意思,可以修饰或代替单数可数名词,它们可在句在作主语、宾语或定语。如:
Here are two pens. You may take either of them.(宾语)
Neither boy knows French.(定语)
注意:①either也作副词,其意为“也”,用于否定句的句末。He doesn’like tea, and I don’t either.(状语)②either与or构成连词,意为“不是……就是……”或“要么……要么……”。He is either Japanese or Chinese. ③neither用作副词,意为“也不”,即“not…either”。He can’t do it, neither can I. ④neither可与nor构成连词,意为“既不……也不”。Neither he nor you are a student.
(8)other和another, the others 和others
the other表示“两者中的另一个”;“the other + 复数可数名词”
表示“其余(他)的……”;the others表示“其他的人或物”。“others及other + 复数名词”泛指“其他的(别的)人或物”。这些词语在句中可作主语、宾语和定语。如:

Please give me another book.(定语)
注意:another修饰复数名词时,意为“再,又”。如:Please give me another ten minutes. one … another(a second)… a third…the other…意为“一个……一个……一个……一个”用于三者或三者以上的排列。some…others…others…,意为“一些……一些……一些”。
二、精典名题导解
选择填空
1. The Parkers bought a new house but__________will need a lot of work before they can move in.(NMET 2001)
A. they B. it C. one D. which
解析:答案为B。分析题意可知,they显然不合,which多引导从句,从此为并列句式,one表示泛指,而此处空格内容指代前面提到的the new house。要仔细区别代词的所指范围,是人还是物,单数还是复数,另应注意句式。
2.If you want to change for a double room you’ll have to pay_________$ 15.(NMET 2000)
A. another B. other C. more D. each
解析:答案为A。本题考查不定代词用于表示数量附加的用法。“another + 数字 + 复数名词”结构通常用来表示在原有数量上的附加。若选C,正确结构是“数词 + more + 复数名词”。掌握another和more与数字搭配的位置是此题关键。another放在数字前,more放在数字后。NMET 1995中第25小题命题思路与此题一致。
3. Few pleasures can equal ___________of a cool drink on a hot day.(NMET 1999)
A. some B. any C. that D. those
解析:答案为C。本题考查替代词that的用法。that通常在句中替代同类的、特定的但不是同一的事物。本句中that替代the pleasure。句意为“在炎热的夏天几乎没有任何乐趣能与饮一杯冷饮的乐趣相比”。that指代单数或不可数名词,复数用those,表示特指,以避免重复,在比较句型中较为常用,代替可数名词时可换用the one。
4. I like in the autumn when the weather is clear and bright.
A. this B. that C. it D. one
解析:答案为C。本句考惯用法及代词。Like是及物动词,需要宾语。此处“it”指模糊的情形或环境,无具体指代,其余项均不可。又如:I like it here(我喜欢这儿)。
5.That’s an unpleasant thing to say about your father after he’s
done for you.
A. something B. anything C. all D. that
解析:答案为C。本题考代词及定语从句。整句意思;在你父亲为你做了所有一切之后再说你父亲(的坏话)是件令人不愉快的事。
6.We needed a new cupboard for the kitchen. So Peter made from some wood we had.
A. it B. one C. himself D. another
解析:答案为B。考代词。全句意为:我们需要为厨房填个橱柜,所以Peter用我们所拥有的木头做了一个。代词one替代上文的名词a cupboard,非特指的指代,正合题意。it应指代上文提到的同一事物,为特指,故不可。C项离题意太远,D项指“又”,“再”的意思,亦不可。
语法复习专题四——形容词和副词
一、考点聚焦
1、形容词、副词的作用与位置
形容词是用来修饰名词的,常被放在名词前作定语,或放在系动词后面作表语。而副词则用来修饰形容词、动词,其他副词或者句子,一般位于形容词之前,动词之后或句子之首。以下属几种特殊情况,须牢记;
(1)形容词短语作定语,定语后置。
a language difficult to master, a leaning tower about 180 feet high
(2)表语形容词(afraid、alike、alone、asleep、awake、alive等)作定语,定语后置。如a man alive。有些表身体健康状况的形容词如well、faint、ill只作表语。sick既可作表语又可作定语,ill如作定语意为“bad”。
(3)用作定语,修饰由不定代词one、no、any、some和every构成的复合词如anything、something等时,通常后置。如:
I have something important to tell you.
(4)else常用作疑问代词和不定代词的后置定语。
(5)enough、nearby修饰名词前置或后置,程度副词一般位于形容词、副词前面,enough修饰形容词、副词时,必须后置。
(6)几个副词并列作状语时,其顺序较灵活,但一般是:方式→地点→时间。如:
We had a good time together outdoors last Sunday.
(7)频度副词如often、always、usually等在be动词后,行为动词前。
(8)副词作定语,定语后置。如:
The person there is waiting for you.
(9)几个并列的形容词作定语,其语序通常为:限定语(The、A)+ 描绘性形容词 + size(大小)+ shape(形状)+ age(年龄、时间)+ color(颜色)+ origin(国籍、来源)+ material(材料)+ purpose(目的)+ 名词。如:
a heavy black Chinese steel umbrella,
the man’s first tow interesting little red French oil paitings
(10)以-ly结尾的词性辨析。
①下列单词以-ly结尾,但却是形容词而非副词:lively、lonely、lovely、deadly、friendly、ugly、silly、likely、brotherly、timely等。
②表愿意(无-ly)和引申意(有-ly)的副词:
deep深 wide宽广 high高 low位置低
deeply深入地 widely广泛地 highly高度地 lowly地位卑微
③有无-ly意义大不相同的副词:
dead完全,绝对be dead asleep
deadly非常be deadly tired
pretty相当be pretty certain that…
prettily漂亮地be prettily dressed
close近Don’t sit close.
closely密切地Watch closely!
late晚、迟arrive late, come late
lately最近I haven’t seen him lately(recently).
2、复合形容词的构成
(1)形容词 + 名词 + ed
kind-hearted好心的,white-haired白发的
(2)形容词 + 形容词
red-hot炽热的,dark-blue深蓝的
(3)形容词 + 现在分词
good-looking好看的,easy-going随和的
(4)副词 + 现在分词
hard-working勤劳的,fast-moving快速转动的
(5)副词 + 过去分词
hard-won得来不易的,newly-made新建的
(6)名词 + 形容词
life-long终生的,world-famous世界闻名的
(7)名词 + 现在分词
peace-loving爱好和平的,fun-loving爱开玩笑的
(8)名词 + 过去分词
snow-covered白雪覆盖的,hand-made手工的
(9)数词 + 名词 + ed
four-storeyed 4层楼的,three-legged 3条腿的
(10)数词 + 名词(名词用单数)
ten-year 10年的,two-man两人的
3、形容词和副词的比较等级
(1)原级的构成和用法。
构成:形容词、副词的原级即本身。
用法:表示双方在程度、性质、特征等某方面相等时,用“as + 原级形容词/副词 + as”的结构;表示双方不相等时,用“not so(as) + 原级形容词/副词 + as”的结构;表示一方是另一方的若干倍时,用“倍数 + as + 原级形容词/副词 + as”的结构。如:
Xiao Wang is as tall as Xiao Yu.
This building looks not so (as)high as that one.
Miss Xu speaks English as fluently as you .
This room is three times as large as that one.
(2)比较级和最高级的构成。
掌握比较级和最高级的变化规则,熟记少数不符合规则的特殊形容词和副词。
(3)比较级的用法。
①对方比较,表示一方超过另一方时,用“比较级 + than”的结构表示。如:
This picture is more beautiful than that one.
②表示一方不及另一方时,用“less + 原级 + than”的结构表示。如:
This room is less beautiful than that one.
③表示一方超过另一方的程度或数量时,可在比较级前加表示程度的状语,如even、a lot、a bit、a little、still、much、far、yet、by fay等修饰。如:
He works even harder than before.
注意:英语的比较级前如无even、still或yet等时,译成汉语时可用“较”或“…一些”或不译出,一般不可有“更”。如:
She is better than she was yesterday
Please come earlier tomorrow.
另注意:by far通常用于强调最高级。用于比较级时,一般放在比较级的后面,如在前面,应在二者中间加“the”。如:
He is taller by far than his brother.
He is by far the taller of the two brothers.
④表示一方随另一方的程度而变化时,用“the + 比较级(主语 + 谓语),the + 比较级(主语 + 谓语)”的结构(意为“越……越……”)。如:
The harder he works, the happier he feels.
⑤不与其他事物相比,表示本身程度的改变时,用“比较级 + and + 比较级”的结构。如:
The weather is getting colder and colder.
The girl becomes more and more beautiful.
⑥某些以-ior结尾的形容词进行比较时,用to代替than。这些词有inferior(劣等的,次的)、superior(较好的,优于……)、junior(资历较浅的)、senior(资格较老的)、prior(在……之前)等。
He is superior to Mr.Zhang in chemistry.
⑦在比较从句中为了避免重复,我们通常用that(those)、one(ones)代替前面出现的名词。that指物,one既可指人又可指物。that可代替可数名词单数和不可数名词,而one只能代替可数名词。
The book on the table is more interesting than that(或the one)on the desk.
A box made of steel is stronger than one made of wood.
⑧倍数表达法。(A)A is three(four, etc.)times the size(height, length etc.)of B. 这座新楼是那座旧楼的四倍大(高)。The new bui9lding is four times the size(the height)of the old one.这座新楼比那座旧楼大三倍(高三倍)。(B)A is three(four, etc.)times as big(high, long, etc.)as B. Asia is four times as large as Europe.亚洲比欧洲大三倍。(C)A is three (four, etc.)times bigger(higher, longer, etc.)than B. Your school is three times bigger than ours.你们的学校比我们的学校大三倍。用times 表倍数通常用于三倍以上,两倍可以用twice或double.
(4)最高级的用法。
①三者或三者以上相比,表示最高程度时,用“the + 最高级”的结构表示。这种句式一般常有表示比较范围的介词短语。如:
Zhang Hua is the tallest of the three.
He works(the)hardest in his class.
②最高级可被序数词以及much、by far、nearly、almost 、by no means、not quite、not really、nothing like等词语所修饰。如:
This hat is by far / much / nearly / almost / not nearly / by no means / not quite / nothing like the biggest.
How much did the secon most expensive hat cost?
③表示“最高程度”的形容词,如excellent、extreme、perfect等,没有最高级,也不能用比较级。
④形容词最高级修饰作表语或介词宾语的名词、代词时,被修饰的词往往省略。如:
He is the tallest (boy) in his class.
⑤作状语的副词最高级前可以不加定冠词。如:
Of all the boys he came (the) earliest.
(5)形容词和副词前面使用冠词的情况。
①形容词最高级前一般要加定冠词,副词最高级前可不加冠词。
②形容词最高级前有时加不定冠词,或不加冠词,不表比较,表示“非常”。如:
He is a most clever young policeman.(a most=very)
The film is most interesting.(most=very)
③表示两者间“较……的一个”比较级前加the。如:
who is the older of the tow boys?
④在“the + 比较级…,the + 比较级…”结构中。
⑤在same前一般要加the。
⑥有些形容词前加the 成为名词。如the poor、the rich 等。
(6)由as / so组成的形容词或副词短语。
① as much as + 不可数名词数量。
Each stone weighs as much as fifteen tons.
She could earn as much as ten dollars a week.
②as many as + 可数名词数量 多达
I have as a many as sixteen referrence books.
③as early as早在
As early as the twelfth century the English began to invade the island.
④as far as远到;就……而知(论)
We might go as far as (走到)the church and back.
As far as I know(就我所知),he has been there before.
⑤may (might, could)as well不妨、不如
Then you might as well stay with us here.
⑥as … as can be到了最……的程度,极其
They are as unreliable as they can be.他们极其不可信。
⑦as … as one can
He began to run, as fast as he could.
⑧as … as possible
Just get them to finish up as quickly as possible.
(7)几组重要的词语辨析。
①very 和much的区别。(A)可分等级的形容词和副词前使用very不用much。(B)表示状态的过去分词前用very。a very frightened boy, a very tired child, a very complicated problem, 一般的情况下,以-ing、-ed结尾的分词多用much、very much / greatly等修饰。如:We were greatly shocked by the news about Tom. I was much amused by Jack’s attitude。(C)已转化为形容词的现在分词前用very。如:very interesting / worrying / exicting。(D)too前用much或far,不用very。You are much / far / a lot too nice.另外,在too many / much, too few / little前用far。 There’s far too little opportunity for adventue these days.We’ve got far too many eggs and far too few egg cups.(E)关于原级形容词要记住下列固定的修饰结构:(a)修饰绝对意义的形容词,一般不用very,而用quite completely、well、entirely。如:quite wrong(mistaken, sure)、completely dead、quite impossible、quite perfect等。(b)修饰以a-开头的形容词,多有特殊的修饰词:quite alone, very much alone, wide awake, fast asleep, very much afraid。(c)修饰一些特殊形容词的修饰语有:be well worth, much the same, freezing cold, quite different, terribly cold / frightening。
②so … that … 与such … that … 的区别。
so + 形容词 / 副词 + that …
so + 形容词 + a(n)+ 单数可数名词 + that …
so + many / much / little / few + 名词 + that …
such + a(n)+ 形容词+单数可数名词 + that …
such + 形容词 + 不可数名词 + that …
such + 形容词 + 复数名词 + that …
注意:下列结构中只能用so不可用such,当名词前有many、much、little、
few等表示“多、少”的词修饰时,如 so much progress、so many people、so little food、so few apples等。但当little表示“小”时用such。如:These are such little boys that they can’t dress themselves.下列so的用法是错误的:so a diffcult problem,so difficult problems, so hot weather。
③其他几组词的辨析。(A)ago、before:ago表示以现在为起点的“以前”;before指以过去或将来的某时刻为起点的“以前”。泛指“以前”用before而不用ago。(B)already、yet、still:already表示某事已经发生;yet表示期待某事发生;still表示某事还在进行,主要用于肯定句。
(C)too、also、either:too和also用于肯定句,too多用于口语,also多用于书面语,either用于否定句。(D)good、well:与good不同的是,well作形容词,只能在系动词后作表语,表示“身体状况好”,也作副词修饰动词。(E)quick、fast:作形容词皆表“快”。fast多指运动的物体,含持续的意思。quick多指一次动作的敏捷、突然,而且持续的时间较短。(F)real、true:形容词表“真的”。real强调真实存在的而不是幻想的,在句中常作定语;true指与事实标准和实际情况相符合,在句中作表语或定语。(G)hard、difficult:均表“困难”,但hard通常指体力上困难;difficult则指智力或技能上的困难,困难程度大于hard。它们都可作定语和表语。
二、精典名题导解
选择填空
1. It is generally believed that teaching is ___________it is a science.(NMET 2001)
A. an art much as B. much an art as
C. as an art much as D. as much an art as
解析:答案为D。本题可从考查形容词的同级比较点入手。在同级比较as…as句式中,如果as后面的形容词作定语且其所修饰的名词前有不定冠词时,该冠词须置于形容词之后,即形成“as + 形容词 + a / an + 单数可数名词 + as”结构。这道题在名词专题中也有解析,不同的是观察视角不同,应注意培养发散思维。
2. It is always difficult being in a foreign country, __________if you don’t speak the language.(NMET 2000)
A. extremely B. naturally C. basically D. especially
解析:答案为D。本题考查副词的词义辨析。注意掌握词语的准确含义,结合语境进行分析。A项意为“极端地”;B项意为“自然地”;C项“基本上”;D项“尤其,特别地”。根据句意“如果你不会讲(它的)语言,在国外你就总会困难重重”可知答案。
3. Professor White has written some short stories, but he is ______known for his plays.(NMET 1998)
A. the best B. more C. better D. the most
解析:答案为C。本题考查副词的比较级和最高级。要把握句式之间的联系,抓住句子的隐藏信息,结合语境进行分析。根据句意,句中but后应有一词组be well known for…。同时,应注意到前后两个分句把professor White的短篇小说和戏剧进行了对比,故应用well的比较级。
4.I must be getting fat—I can do my trousers up.
A. fairly B. hardly C. nearly D. seldom
解析:答案为D。本题考副词,且继续使用了破折号,对前句解释说明。句中的“do up”指“系上、扣上、包扎上”等意,故全句合理的意思是:我几乎系不上裤子了,(因此)我一定在发胖。B项hardly是“几乎不”的意思,正合题意。
5. The house smells as if it hasn’t been lived in for years.
A. little white wooden B. little wooden white
C. white wooden little D. wooden white little
解析:答案为A。本题考名词前置定事的排序。多个词同时作前置定语时,排列规律一般是:代词性定语+冠/指示/物主/所有格+数词(先序后基)+形容词+国籍/材料/用途形容词或名词或动名词+被修饰的名词,其中数个形容词同时出现时,多用下列顺序:性质+大小+形状+新旧+颜色,有时也要看与名词的密切关系,越密切,越靠近名词。按上文所述,wooden表材料,放在最后,white 表颜色,放在little之后,故选A。
6. That doesn’t sound very frightening, Paul. I’ve seen . What did you like most about the film?
A. better B. worse C. best D. worst
解析:答案为B。考查比较级的用法,由句意可知,我还见过比frightening更糟的,故选B。
语法复习专题五——介词和连词
一、考点聚焦
1、介词的分类与语法功能
(1)介词是虚词,不能单独作句子成分,必须与名词、代词(或相当于名词的其他词类、短语或从句等)构成介词短语,在句中充当一个成分。介词分为:简单介词,如at、in、for等;合成介词,如within、inside、onto、througout等;短语介词,如according to、out of、because of、by means of、in spite of、instead of等。双重介词,如from behind / above / under、until after等。分词介词,如considering、including、judging(from / by) 等。

3、核心介词用法归纳与辨析
(1)表示时间的介词in的用法如下。
表示在某一较长时间内,如世纪、年、月、季、周等一般用介词in,
如:in the 1990s, in the year, in January, in(the) winter / summer / fall / spring, in the first week of May。
还可以用时段名词组成固定短语或词组。如:in a while, in no time, in the daytime, in a short while, in time, in the morning (afternoon, evening)。但要注意:
①at night / at noon, in the day(在白天),in the night(大夜间)。
②in five days(weeks, months, years)中in意思是“在……以后”。
③in和during表一段时间内两词可互用。如:in the night, during the night, in the war, during the war。但略有区别:当接表示“活动”的抽象名词时多用during,接“活动”的动名词及短语时用in。如:

He waited for me till twelve o’clock.
He didn’t get up till (until) 10 a.m. (不可用to).
但注意:在句首出现或强调句型中一般不用till而用until。如:
Not until 9 a.m.did Mr.Smith come back to school.
②to表“终结”时常用和from连用,但要注意不与from连用时的意义。如:from July to September, from six to(till)eight(从……到……为止),但from morning till night(从早到晚),不能用to。from … to
常构成习惯搭配,不可换用其他介词。(A)表持久连续、传递、转移的含义。from time to time(不时,有时),from day to day (天天),from hand to hand(不断传下去),from place to place(处处,到处),from side to side(左右摇摆),from door to door(家家户户),from house to house(挨家挨户),from shop to shop(一个商店接一个商店)。(B)表起始终止的全过程或程度加深、状态变化。from beginning to end(从头到尾,自始至终)(from the beginning to the end of…);from hand to mouth(仅能糊口),from bad to worse(越来越糟),from head to foot(从头到脚),from top to bottom(整个地,彻底地),from top to toe(全身),from start to finish(自始至终,从头到尾)。(C)from one + 名词 + to another表示“依次”。如from one car to another(顺着车厢依次地)。(D)名词 + by + 同一单数名词,表示“一个一个地”,要与from … to短语区别开:one by one 一个一个地;little by little(bit)一点一点地;step by step 一步一步地,逐渐地(但by and by 不久以后);sentence by sentence逐句地;day by day一天一天地;side by side(with…)(和……)并肩,一起;shoulder to shoulder肩并肩地,齐心协力;hand in hand 手拉手,紧紧地;face to face面对面。
(5)in、after、later
①in + 一段时间:表示说话时为起点一段时间之后,与一般将来时连用;但表示“在……之内”时,用于各种时态。
②一段时间 + later(later是副词):表示某一具体时间或某一方面具体时间算起的一段时间后。
③after + 一段时间表示:“在……之后”,用于一般过去时;但时间为点时间时,只能用after,即after + 点时间,用于各种时态。
The doctor will be with us in six minutes.
She graduated in 1981, and eight years later she became the manager of the factory.
He received her letter after four weeks.
另外,in + 一段时间 + ’s + time 与 within + 一段时间的用法如下:

He was very clever except for carelessness.
④except that … 除了……一点以外。

(11)不定式复合结构中的for、of。
这里所说的不定式复合结构形式指的是for 或of加上人或事,作动词不定式逻辑主语的结构。
①It is clever of you to answer it like that.
②It is quite hard for me to explain why.
注意:两句中的of和for的使用,表语形容词能够说明不定式逻辑主语的性质、特征与面貌时用of,如果说明不定式行为本身的性质、状态等则用for。
(12)兼作连词和副词的介词。
①after、since、till / still、before这些词既是介词,又是连词。

(14)某些名词与介词构成的固定搭配。
①要求接to的名词有:key、answer、visit、entrance、apology、introduction、road等。
②要求接in 的名词有:interest、satisfaction、expert等。
He is expert in teaching small children.
(15)几个常用的并列连词。
①both … and, either … or, neither … nor
both … and“双方都”,连接句子的两个主语时,其后谓语动词通常用使用复数形式。either … or与neither … nor注意采取“就近原则”。
②not only … but also, as well as
注意:两者强调对象不同,not only … but also强调的是but also之后部分,而as well as则强调其前面的部分。not only … but also采取“就近原则”,而as well as只是一个插入语,采取“就远原则”。如:
Mr.Smith, as well as his wife and children, has come to Nanjing for a visit.
not only … but also结构中的not only可用于句首,连接两个分句时,第一个从句主谓要倒装。
Not only is he clever ,but also he is hard working.
(16)几个常用的从属连词。
①when、while、as都表示“当……时候”,when引导的从句的动作与主句的动词可同时发生,也可先后发生;as、while引导的从句则强调主句和从句的动作同时发生。如:
When I go to the station, the train had already left.
He sang merrily as he was working.
②till、until均表示“到……时候止”,肯定句中的谓语必须是延续性动作。如:I worked till late at night.若主句谓语是终止性动词,则主句要用否定形式,意为动作“到……才……”开始发生。如:
She didn’t get up until her mother came in.
注意:till和until通常情况下可以互换,只是在句首时until比till更常用。
③though、although均引导让步状语从句,意为“虽然……”,although较正式,though最常用。如:
Thouth (Although)he was tired,he kept on working.
注意:though、although引导的从句不能与but、however连用,但可以与yet、still连用。though还可以与别的词结合使用,如even though、
as though,而although则不能这样搭配。
④no sooner … than、hardly … when、as soon as三者都表示“一……就”,“刚刚……就”的意思。(A)as soon as 置于主句前后都可以,而且有备各种时态。如:As soon as she gets here I’ll tell her about it. Mary left as soon as the finished the work.(B)hardly … when、no sooner … than不能表示将来的事,其主句的谓语动词一般用过去完成时,从句用过去时。若将hardly或no sooner放在句首,句子要倒装。如:No sooner had he arrived than he went away again.
⑤某些表示时间的名词(词组)也可用作从属连词。它们是:the moment, the minute,the instant, the day, the time, the first (second, third …) time, the spring (summer, autumn,winter), every(each, next, any) time(day),by the time,都可引导时间状语从句。如:
His mother died the spring he returned.
Call me up the minute he arrives.
二、精典名题导解
选择填空
1. The home improvements have taken what little there is _________my spare time.(NMET 2001)
A. from B. in C. of D. at
解析:答案为C。本题考查句子结构中介词of的有法。what引导的从句作谓语have taken的宾语,而从句中的基本句型为“there is little of …”,表示“……有很少”,what 修饰little提到了从句句首。注意正确把握句子结构和介词用法,要明白of my spare time和in my spare time的区别。
2. ____________ production up by 60%, the company has had another excellent year.(NMET 2000)
A. As B. For C. With D. Through
解析:答案为C。本题考查with的复合结构作状语的用法。“with + 名词 + 不定式/分词/名词/形容词/介词短语等”可在句中作伴随、时间、原因、条件等状语。本题中with的复合结构作伴随状语。
3. The changes in the city will cost quite a lot, ___________they will save us money in the long run.(2000春季高考题)
A. or B. since C. for D. but
解析:答案为D。本题考查并列连词or、for、but和从属连词的意义和用法。并列连词or通常表示选择关系;for表示因果关系;but表示转折关系;从属连词since表示原因。通过比较前后两个分句意思可知,它们是转折关系。
4. After she considered the problem, she got a tall box to stand ________.
A. on B. up C. above D. by
解析:答案为A。不定式“to stand + 介词”作定语修饰a tall box,其中被修饰词在逻辑意义上是不及物动词,只有加上吊尾介词,句子意思才完整。吊尾介词往往由于受到汉语的影响而缺少,吊尾介词使用的场合有:
(1)定语从句中,先行词被一个不及物动词所修饰,不及物动词后要接介词,先行词被“动词 + 介词”组成的短语动词所修饰,介词常在句尾。
He is the man I just spoke to.
(2)what、whose、who、whatever等引导的宾语从句,宾语从句出现吊尾介词。
I can’t imagine what it is like.
(3) 强调句型,特殊疑问句中由于被强调部分和疑问词位置变更,常出现吊尾介词。
It was the poor boy that we gave the books to.
What for? Where to? Who with?
(4)不及物动词的不定式修饰表“涉及对象、场合、工具、方式、材料”等意义的名词时常带吊尾介词。
a room to live in, a bench to sit on
There is nothing to worry about.
She is a good girl to work with.
(5)某些形容词后接不定式或“动词 + 介词”型短语,动词的不定式形式表“反射”,常用吊尾介词。
①fit、easy、hard、comfortable、difficult、heavy等形容词后。
②The river is good to swim in.
The box is too heavy to carry.
③be worth doing sth.,be worthy of being done / to be done, want/
require / need doing
5.Roses need special care they can live through winter.
A. because B. so that C. even if D. as
解析:答案为B。本题考状语从句。全句意为:玫瑰花需要特殊关心,以便过冬(为了安全度过冬天)。其余选项不合逻辑。
6. you call me to say you’re not coming, I’ll see you at the theatre.
A. Though B. Whether C. Until D. Unless
解析:答案为D。本题考状事从句,全句意为:我将在剧院门口等你,除非你打电话说你不来了。D项表条件,符合句意。A项表让步,意为尽管;B项表让步,意为“不管……(还是……);”C项表时间,意为“直道……(才……)”,均不和逻辑。
7.Several weeks had gone by I realized the painting was missing.
A. as B. before C. since D. when
解析:答案为B。本题考查连词的用法。时间had passed(gone)by before S + did…在不知不觉中过……(已过去了)。
语法复习专题六——数 词
一、考点聚焦
1、序号表示法
(1)单纯的序号,可在基数词前加number,简写为No.。如:No.1第一号
(2)事物名词的序号表达法有什所不同:
①对于一些小序号可有序数词也可用基数词表达,形式分别为:the +
序数词 + 名词;名词 + 基数词。如:第一次世界大战可以表示为the First World War或World War One。
②对于一些大序号我们通常只用一种表达法,即名词 + 数词。如:501号房间表示为Room 501, 538路公共汽车表示为Bus 538。
③可用a / the + number + 基数词 + 名词。如:a No.5 bus一辆五路公共汽车,the No.8 bus那辆8路公共汽车。
2、倍数的表达方式
一般情况下我们用以下三种倍数表达方式:
(1)倍数用在as + 形容词 / 副词(原级)+ as结构之前。如:
They have three times as many cows as we do.
(2)倍数放在形容词或副词的比较级之前或by + 倍数用在比较级之后。如:
This rope is four times longer than that one.
They produced more products in 2001 than those in 2000 by twice.
(3)倍数用在表示度量名词前,其基本结构为:倍数 + the + size / length / weight … + of + 表示比较对象的名词,也可用于倍数 + what引导的从句中。如:
This room is three times the size of that one.
The college is twice what it was 5 years age.
You can’t imagine that rats eat 40 to 50 times their weight.
3、大约数的表示方法
(1)用ten、dozen、score、hundred、thousand、million等数词的复数后加of短语来表示几十、几百、上千、成千上万等大约数概念。如:
The little boy buys dozens of pencils every term.
Thousands of people died in the earthquake.
Every year tens of thousands of people go to work in Guangdong Province.
(2)用、less than、under、below、almost、nearly、up to 等来表示小于或接近某数目。如:
He is good at English, so he can finish the paper in less than two hours.
(3)用more than、over、above、beyond、or more等来表示超过或多于某个数目。如:
Peking University has a history of more than 100 years.
(4)用or、or so、about、around、some、more or less等表示在某一数目左右。如:
About 50 people were present at that time.
(5)用to、from … to…、between … and表示介于两数词。如:
His salary rises from 20 dollars a week to 35 dollars a week.
(6)注意事项:dozen、score、hundred、thousand、million作数词表示确切数量时,不用复数。如:three score, five dozen, seven million等。
4、分数的表达方式
(1)分子用基数词,分母用序数词,分子大于1时,分母用复数。如:one-third三分之一,three-sevenths七分之三。
(2)分子与分母之间加in, 分子在前,分母在后,分子分母都用基数词。如:one in ten 十分之一,five in eight八分之五。
(3)分子与分母之间加out of , 分子在前,分母在后,分子分母都用基数词。如:one out of ten十分之一,five out of eight八分之五。
5、百分数的表示法
(1)表示百分数直接将数词放在单词percent前面即可,如:twenty percent百分之二十。
(2)分数和百分数后面不能直接接名词或代词,而用以下形式:分数/百分数 +of + 冠词 / 限定词 + 名词 / 代词 ,其谓语动词与of后的名词在人称和数上保持一致,如:
Two-thirds of the money was spent on food.
About seventy percent of the earth surface is covered by water.
6、小数的表示法
小数的表示法,小数点前的总值发同其他数词一样,小数点用point,小数点后面的数读成个位数,如:9.65表示为nine point six five。218.39表示为two hundred and eighteen point three nine。
二、精典名题导解
选择填空
1. ____________ people in the world are sending information by E-mail every day.(2001年上海春季高考卷)
A. Several million B. Many millions
C. Several millions D. Many million
解析:答案为A。本题考查的是million表示确切数量的用法。million前需用数表确切数量,而不用many这类词,但可说many millions of(上百万的),故本题中用Several million。
2. The number of people invited __________ fifty, but a number of them __________ absent for different reasons.(NMET 96)
A. were ; was B. was ; was C. was ; were D. were ; were
解析:答案为C。本题考查的是the number of + 名词与a number of + 名词作主语时谓语的单复数问题。the number of是“……的数目”,作主语时谓语动词用单数,而a number of 后接可数名词的复数形式,作主语时谓语动词用复数形式,故此题最佳选项为C。
3. Shortly after the accident, two ___________ police were sent to the sport to keep order .(NMET 92)
A. dozens of B. dozens C. dozen D. dozen of
解析:答案为C。此题考查的是数词dozen表示确切数量时的用法,dozen表示确切数量时用其单数形式,当dozens的复数后接of时则表示不确切数量,本题答案为C。
语法复习专题七——动词时态和语态
一、考点聚焦
1、动词时态考查要点简述
(1)一般现在时考点分析
①表示客观事实或普通真理(不受时态限制)
The geography teacher told us the earth moves around the sun.
Water boils at 100oC.
②表示现状、性质、状态时多用系动词或状态动词;表示经常或习惯性的动作,多用动作动词,且常与表频率的时间状语连用。
Ice feels cold.
We always care for each other and help each other.
③表示知觉、态度、感情、某种抽象的关系或概念的词常用一般现在时:see、hear、smell、taste、feel、notice、agree、believe、like、hate、want、think、belong seem等。如:
I know what you mean.
Smith owns a car and a house.
All the students here belong to No.1 Middle School.
④在时间、条件状语从句中常用一般现在时代替将来时。但要注意由if 引导的条件状语从句中可以用shall或will表“意愿”,但不表示时态。
If you will accept my invitation and come to our party, my family will be pleased.如果你愿意接受并参加我们的舞会,我的家人会非常高兴。
⑤少数用于表示起止的动词如come、go、leave、arrive、fly、return、start、begin、pen、close、end、stop等常用一般现在时代替将来时,表示一个按规定、计划或安排要发生的动作。当be表示根据时间或事先安排,肯定会出现的状态,只用一般现在时。
The shop closes at 11:00 p.m. every day.
Tomorrow is Wednesday.
(2)一般过去时的考点分析(考核重点)。
①一般过去时的基本用法:表示过去的事情、动作或状态常与表示过去具体的时间状语连用(或有上下文语境暗示);用于表达过去的习惯;表示说话人原来没有料到、想到或希望的事通常用过去式。如:
I met her in the street yesterday.
I once saw the famous star here.
They never drank wine.
I thought the film would be interesting,but it isn’t.
②如果从句中有一个过去的时间状语,尽管从句中的动作先于主句发生,但从句中的谓语动词连用过去式。如:
He told me he read an interesting novel last night.
③表示两个紧接着发生的动作,常由以下词语连接,用一般过去时。如:but, and, when, as soon as, immediately, the moment, the minute。
The moment she came in, she told me what had happened to her.
He bought a watch but lost it.
④常用一般过去时的句型:
Why didn’t you / I think of that?
I didn’t notice it.
I forgot to tell you I had been there with my brother before.
I didn’t recognize him.
(3)一般将来时考点分析。
①表示未来的动作或状态常用will / shall + 动词(常与表示将来的时间状语边用如tomorrow、next week等)。
②表示一种趋向或习惯动作。
We’ll die without air or water.
③表示趋向行为的动词如come、go、start、begin、leave等词常用进行时的形式表示将来时。
④be going to与will / shall, be to do, be about to do用法及区别:
be going to 表示现在打算在最近或将来要做某事,这种打算往往经过事先考虑,甚至已做了某种准备;shall / will do表示未事先考虑过,即说话时临时作出的决定。
be going to 表将来,不能用在条件状语从句的主句中;而will则能,表意愿。如:
If it is fine, we’ll go fishing.(正确)
If it is fine, we are going to go fishing.(错误)
be to do sth.表按计划、安排即将发生的动作,还可表示吩咐、命令、禁止,可能性等。
A meeting is to be held at 3:00 o’clock this afternoon.
be about to do sth.表示“即可,就要”,后面不能接时间状语或状语从句。
Autumn harvest is about to start.
(4)现在进行时考点分析。
①表示说话时正在发生着的一个动作;表示现阶段但不一定是发生在讲话时;表近期特定的安排或计划;go、come等起止动作可用进行时代替将来时。如:
It is raining now.
He is teaching English and learning Chinese.
I am meeting Mr. Wang tonight.
We are leaving on Friday.
At six I am bathing the baby.(I start bathing the bady before six.)
The girl is always talking loud in public.(与always、often等频度副词连用,表经常反复的行动或某种感情色彩)
②下面四类动词不宜用现在进行时。(A)表示心理状态、情感的动作:like, love, hate, care, remember, believe, want, mind, wish, agree, mean, need。(B)表存在的状态的动词:appear, exist, lie, remain, seem belong to, depend on。(C)表示一时性动作的动词:allow, accept, permit, promise, admit, complete。(D)表示感官的动词:see, hear, notice, feel, smell, sound, taste, look。
(5)过去完成时考点分析(考核重点)。
①常用过去完成时的几种情况:(A)在by、by the end、by the time、until、before、since后接表示过去某一时间的短语或从句以前发生的动作。如:By the end of last year, we had produced 20,000 cars. The train had left before we reached the station. (B)表示曾实现的希望、打算、意图、诺言等。常用had hoped / planned / meant / intended/
though / wanted / expected等或用上述动词过去式接不定式完成式表示即:hoped / planned … + to have done。(C)“时间名词 + before”在句子中作状语,谓语动词用过去完成时;“时间名词 + ago”在句中作状语,谓语动词用一般过去式。如:He said his first teacher had died at least 10 years before. Xiao Hua left school 3 years ago.(D)表示“一……就”的几个句型:Hardly / No sooner / Scarcely had + 主语 + 过去分词 + when / than / before + 一般过去时。如:We had no sooner been seated than the bus started. = No sooner had we been seated than the bus started.
②在before或after引导的时间状语从句中用一般过去时态代替过去完成时。
After he (had) left the room, the boss came in.
We arrived home before it snowed.
(6)过去将来时考点分析。
参照一般将来时对比:用would do、was / were going to do sth.表过去将来;come、go、leave等过去进行时表过去将来时;was / were to do sth.和was / were about to do sth.表过去将来。
(7)过去进行时考点分析。
①过去某一时刻正在进行的动作或某一阶段内发生或频繁发生。
②某一动作发生时另一动作正在发生,其中一个在由when或while引导的时间状语从句中。
(8)现在完成时考点分析。
①现在完成时除可以和for、since引导的状语连用外,还可以和下面的介词短语连用:during / in /over the last(past)few years (months, weeks)、in recent years等。
②下列句型中常用现在完成时
It is (has been) + 一段时间 + since从句
This(That / It)is the first(second…)time that + 完成时
This(That / It)is the only … + that + 完成时
This(that / It)is the best / finest / most interesting … + that 从句 + 完成时
③在时间或条件状语从句中,现在完成时可以代替一般将来时。如:
I shall post the letter as soon as I have written it.
If you have done the experiment, you will realize the theory better.
Don’t get off the bus until it has stopped.
(9)注意几组时态的区别:
①一般过去时与现在完成时:时间上有差异:凡有过去时间的均用过去时态,不能用完成时态,如含有ago、last year、just now、the other day等。
结果上有差异:现在完成时强调的是对“现在”的影响和结果,动作到现在刚完成或还在继续;一般过去时强调的是动作发生在“过去”,和现在毫无关系。
②过去完成时与一般过去时:过去完成时强调的是“过去的过去”;如出现同一主语连续几个动作(“连谓”)形式则只用一般过去时即可。
2、被动语态考查要点简述
被动语态的构成方式:be + 过去分词,口语只也有用get / become +
过去分词表示。被动语态的基本用法:不知道或没必要提到动作的执行者是谁时用被动语态。强调或突出动作的承受者常用被动语态(by短语有时可以省略)。
(1)使用被动语态时应注意的几个问题。
①主动变化被动时双宾语的变化。看下列例句。
My friend gave me an interesting book on my birthday.
An interesting book was given to me(by my friend)on my birthday.
I was given an interesting book (by my friend)on my birthday.
②主动变被动时,宾补成主补(位置不变);(作补语的)不定式前需加to。
The boss made him work all day long.
He was made to work all day long(by the boss)
③短语动词变被动语态时,勿要掉“尾巴”。
The children were taken good care of (by her).
Your pronunciation and spelling should be paid attention to.
④情态动词和be going to、be to、be sure to、used to、have to、had better等结构变被动语态,只需将它们后面的动词原形变为be +过去分词。
⑤当句子的谓语为say、believe、expect、think、know、write、consider、report等时,被动语态有两种形式:(A)谓语动词用被动语态,动词不定式作主补。(B)用it作形式主语,真正的主语在后面用主语在后面用主语从句来表示。如:
People say he is a smart boy.
It is said that he is a smart boy.
He is said to be a smart boy.
People know paper was made in China first.
It is known that paper was made in China first.
Paper was known to be made in China first.
类似句型有:It is said / known / suggested / believed / hoped/ thought that …
(2)不能用被动语态的几种情况。
①所有的不及物动词或不及物动词词组不能用于被动语态之中。
②表示状态的谓语动词,如:last、hold、benefit、contain、equal、fit、join、mean、last、look like、consist to等。
③表示归属的动词,如have、own、belong to等。
④表示“希望、意图”的动词,如:wish、want、hope、like、love、hate等。
⑤宾语是反身代词或相互代词时谓语动词用主动语态,不能用被动语态。
⑥宾语是同源宾语,不定式、动名词等谓语动词不用被动语态。
⑦有些动词以其主动形式表示被动意义,特别是当主语是物时,常见的动词有sell、write、wash、open、lock等。
(3)主动形式表被动意义。
①当feel、look、smell、taste、sound等后面接形容词时;当cut、read、sell、wear、write等词带状语修饰语时;当动词表示“开始、结束、关、停、转、启动”等意义时。
This kind of cloth washes easily.这种布易洗。
These novels won’t sell well.这些小说不畅销。
My pen writes smoothly.我的钢笔写起来很流畅。
The door won’t lock.门锁不上。
The fish smells good.鱼闻起来香。
②当break out、take place、shut off、turn off、work out等动词表示“发生、关闭、制定”等意思时。
The plan worked out successfully.
The lamps on the wall turn off.
③want, require, need后面的动名词用主动表示被动含义。
④be worth doing用主动形式表示被动含义。
⑤在“be + 形容词 + to do”中,不定式的逻辑宾语是句子的主语,用主动代被动。
This kind of water isn’t fit to drink.
The girl isn’t easy to get along with.
另外:be to blame(受谴责),be to rent(出租)也用主动形式表被动。
(4)被动形式表示主动意义的几种情况。
①be seated坐着
He is seated on a bench.(He seats himself on a bench.)坐在凳子上。
②be hidden躲藏
He was hidden behind the door.(He hid himself behind the door.)他藏在门后。
③be lost迷路
④be drunk喝醉
⑤be dressed穿着
The girl was dressed in a red short skirt.
(5)被动语态与系表结构的区别
被动语态强调动作;系表结构表主语的特点或状态。如:
The book was sold by a certain bookstore.(被动语态)
The book is well sold.(系表结构)
二、精典名题导解
选择填空
1. Visitors ________not to touch the exhibits.(NMET 2001)
A. will request B. are requested
C. are requesting D. request
解析:答案为B。此题的时态是不难判断的,因为说的是一条规定,所以用一般现在时,而visitor与request之间是动宾关系,即request visitors not to touch the exhibits,究竟是谁要求他们这样做呢?不清楚,也不必知道,因此需要用被动语态。分析visitors与request之间的关系是此题的解题关键。
2. Selecting a mobile phone for personal use is no easy task because technology __________ so rapidly.(NMET 2001)
A. is changing B. has changed
C. will have changed D. will change
解析:答案为A。此题考查现在进行时态的用法。句意为“选择一部移动电话不是一件容易的事,因为科技发展得十分迅速。”本句的主句一般现在时表达的是目前的情况,而“科技发展迅速”也是现阶段正存在的一种状态,不是在过去,也不是在将来,因此只能用现在进行时表达。
3. All the preparations for the task ___________, and we’re ready to start.(2000年春季高考)
A. completed B. complete
C. had been completed D. have been completed
解析:答案为D。现在完成时表示过去年做的事对现在的影响。从and we’re ready to start句意可知,一切准备工作已经就绪,可以开始工作了。complete是及物动词,与句子的主语是被动关系,所以需要用被动语态表达。注意①分清complete与主语之间的关系;②结合语境选择正确时态。
4.My mind wasn’t on what he was saying so I’m afraid I half of it.
A. was missing B. had missed C. will miss D. missed
解析:答案为D。本句考时态和语境。全句意思是;我的心没在他说的话上,所以恐怕他说的话我有一半没听到。整个事情是过去的事,且是做过的事,所以选一般过去时D。
5.The discussion alive when an interesting topic was brought in.
A. was coming B. had come C. has come D. came
解析:答案为D。come alive“变得活跃”。照顾时间状语从句时态一致时。
6.—I hear Jane has gone to the Holy Island for her holiday.
—Oh, how nice! Do you know when she ?
A. was leaving B. had left C. has left D. left
解析:答案为D。考查动词时态,由现完成时的用法,可知动作发生在过去,故选D。
语法复习专题八——情态动词
一、考点聚焦
1、 情态动词的基本用法
(1)can、be able to 和could
①can和be able to都表示能力,意思上没多大区别。但can只有现在和过去时,而be able to则有更多的形式。但当成功地完成某一具体动作时,通常不用could而用was/were able to来表示。这时was/were able to 相当于managed to,表示经过一番努力,终于能够完成某事。如:
Can you use chopsticks?
The wounded man still was able to get to the village and was saved in the end.
②can和could
can和could都可以表示能力、技能、许可、建议或请求和可能性。但比较委婉客气地提出问题或陈述看法,一般用could,回答时则用can。如:
Could you help me carry the bag?
Can I help you?
(2)may/might
①may/might表示可能,但may比might可能性大。如:-Why isn’t he in class?
He may be sick.(生病的可能性较大)
—
He might be sick.(生病的可能性较小)
②may/might表示“允许”,may用于现在时或将来时,might常用在间接引语中表过去时,但might也可用于现在时间,表示比较委婉的语气,回答用may。如:
He says we may leave.
He said we might leave.
③may / might 表示建议或请求,但might比may 更客气,意思更肯定而无过去时态的含义。
Yes, you can / may.
—May / Might I use your bike? —
No, you mustn’t
(3)must
①must表示必须,应该,没有时态变化。如:
You must do everything as I do.
②must表示肯定的推测。如:
The light is still on, so he must be at home.
③mustn’t 表示禁止做某事。如:
You mustn’t smoke in the office.
(4)have to
have to 表示“必须、不得不”,是由于某种外界(客观)原因而“必须”,“不得不”做某事,也可表示经常的或习惯性的事“必须”做。have to的否定形式表示不必。have to可用于多种时态中。如:
You will have to clean your own boots when you join the army.
I have to be at my office every evening.
(5)should / ought to
①should和ought to表示应当、应该,前者比后者语气轻。如:
You should / ought to work hard.
②should / ought to work hard.
Since she is not here, whe should / ought to be in the classroom.
③should / ought to的否定形式表示禁止之意。如:
Children shouldn’t smoke.
④should可表示陈述意见,推出建议或请求;而ought to可以表示劝告之意。如:
You ought to respect your parents.
He suggested that they should leave at once.
(6)will / would
①will 用于各种人称表示“意志”、“意愿”或“决心”等,否定式won’t + 动词。如:
I will tell you all about it.
Tom won’t do such a thing.
②will用于疑问句中,常用在第二称时表示说话人向对方提出“请求”或“询问”如:
Will you please tell her the news when you see her?
③will 表示习惯性的动作,有“总是”、“惯于”的含义。如:
Fish will die out of water.
④would 表示客气的请求、建议或意愿。如:
Would you please be quiet?
Would you like coffee?
⑤would 表示过去反复发生的动作。如:
When I passed my school I would see my teachers who taught me 5 years ago.
(7)need
need 作“必要”讲,既可作情态动词,也可作实义动词。作实义动词时后面的动词不定式要带to,其变化与一般动词相同。如:
I need to think it over.
—Need you go now? —Yes, I must./No, I needn’t
(8)dare
dare表示“敢”的意思。作为情态动词时,主要用在疑问句和否定句中。dare若作实义动词,后面可带to的不定式,此时to也可以省略。dare与need的用法相似。如:
How dare you say that?
She doesn’t date(to)ask her father.
(9)used to
used to表示过去常常发生的动作或存在的习惯,但现在已不复存在了。如:
He used to smoke.
(10)shall
①shall作为情态动词用于第二、三人称,表示说话人的意愿,有“命令”、“警告、威胁、强制”和“允许”等意思。如:
We shall do as our teacher says.
You shall have the book as soon as I finish it.
②在疑问句中,shall用于征求对方的意见或请求指示,常用于第一、第三人称。如:
Where shall he wait for us?
Shall we go out for a walk?
2、情态动词表示推测或判断的用法
下表即是表示推测的情态动词使用的场合:
情态动词
对现在和未来的推测
对过去的推测

肯定句、否定句、疑问句
例如:
It must have rained last night.
She may not be at home. = It is possible that she is not at home.
She can’t be at home. = It is impossible that she is at home.
They should be there right now.
3、情态动词在虚拟语气中的用法
情态动词用于虚拟语气中表示责备的感情色彩,用法如下:
(1)should have done表示“本来应该做某事而实际上未做”,而shouldn’t have done则表示“本不应该做某事而实际上做了”。如:
You should have told me about it earlier.
You shouldn’t have said such words to your parents.
(2)ought to have done也表示“本应该……”而ought not to have done则意为“本不应该……”。如:
You ought to have told me about it earlier.
You ought not to have said such words to your parents.
(3)needn’t have done表示“本无必要做某事而实际上做了”。如:
You needn’t have walked so quickly since time was enough.
(4)could have done表示“本来有可能……而事实上未做到”。如:
I could have come on time, but my car broke on the way.
二、精典名题导解
选择填空
1. I was really anxious about you. You________home without a word.(NMET 2001)
A. mustn’t have B. shouldn’t have left
C. couldn‘t have left D. needn’t have
解析:答案为B。本题考查的是情态动词在虚拟语气中的用法。题目给出的条件是“我确实非常担心你”,因此后面可知应是责备you不应该没说一句话就离开了。
2.—Are you coming to Jeff’s party?
—I’m not sure. I__________ go to the concert instead. (NMET 2000)
A. must B. would C. should D. might
解析:答案为D。本题考查情态动词的基本用法。由题目中“I’m not sure”,表明我可能去Jeff’s party,也可能去音乐会,故用might。
3. —Will you stay for lunch?
—Sorry, ____________. My brother is coming to see me.(NMET 99)
A. I mustn’t B. I can’t C. I needn’t D. I won’t
解析:答案为B。本题考查表示请求的英语口语,用will来向第二人称提问的疑问结构,是表示一种请求和意愿,是用疑问的形式来表达较为婉转的祈使语气,意思是“请你……,好吗”,对于这种问句的肯定回答是:Suree! Gertainly! Yes, of course. I’d be glad to 等;否定回答通常是:I’m sorry, I can’t. No, I’m afraid I can’t. I’m sorry, but … I’d like to, but …等。注意情态动词表客气的用法及其在一般疑问句中的问与答。
4.—Isn’t that Ann’s husband over there?
—No, it be him I’m sure he doesn’t wear glasses.
A. can’t B. must not C. won’t D. may not
解析:答案为A。本题考查情态动词表推测。问:那边的难道不是Ann的丈夫吗?答:不是。不可能是他,我确信他不戴眼镜。
5.You be tired-you’ve only been working for an hour.
A. must not B. won’t C. can’t D. may not
解析:答案为C。本题考查情态动词。句中破折号后的内容对前一句进行解释说明:你只工作了一个小时,所以你不可能累的。表否定推测时用can’t。A项表禁止(不许),B项表未来,D项表不允许。均不可用,故选C。
6.I often see lights in that empty house. Do you think I report it to the police?
A. should B. whatever C. whichever D. whenever
解析:答案为A。本题考情态动词。在空房子里看到灯光,是一件奇怪而令人生疑的事,故问:你是否认为我应当把这事儿报告给警察?应用A。

2、动词不定式复心中应注意的几个问题
(1)不定式作表语与“be + to do sth.”的异同。不定式作表语说明主语的内容或性质。
His job is to guard. (说明内容)
be + to do sth.(表示按计划要做的事)
(2)带不定式作宾语的词语。
下列词语常不定式作宾语:afford、promise、refuse、expect、hope、learn、offer、wish、want、fail、plan、agree、forget、like、prefer、decide、manage、try、arrange、determine、desire等。
下列动词后可接疑问词+不定式:teach、decide、wonder、show、learn、forget、ask、find、out、advise、discuss等。
(3)如何理解和使用不定式作宾补。
①动词see、watch、notice、hear、listen to、observe、feel、taste、smell、make、let、have等的宾补用动词原形,变被动时要加to,此时的不定式就是主语补足语。
②常用带不定式作宾补的几种情况:
主语 + ask / require / tell / order / force / get / want / like + sb.to do sth.
③主语 + think / judge / suppose / believe / consider /imagine/
consider / feel + sb. + to be/ to have done
④主语 + call on / upon / depend on / wait for / ask for + sb.+ to do sth.
(4)不定式作定语的特殊用法。
①下列词语后常接不定式作定语:chance、wish、right、courage、need、promise、time、opportunity、way、the first、the second、the last、the only等。
②不定式作定语和所修饰的名词在逻辑上有主谓关系。
There is no one to look after her.
③不定式与被修饰的名词在逻辑上有动宾关系。
She is now looking for a room to live in.
(5)不定式作状语的用法。
不定式作状语,修饰动词,在句中表示行为目的、结果、原因。only to do表示出人意料的结果。
We hurried to the classroom only to find none there .
in order(not)to,so as(not)to用来引导目的状语,enough,too, so… as to do, such + 名词… as to do作结果状语,如:The girl was so kind as to help the old man off the bus.
I’m not such a fool as to believe that.
(6)不定式的完成时的特殊用法。
①表示不定式中谓语动词发生的动作先于主句的谓语动词发出的动作。
The novel was said to have been published.
I regret to have been with you for so many years.
seem、appear、be said、be supposed、be believed、be thought、be known、be reported等动词常用于上面句型。
此外,glad、happy、satisfied、sorry、surprised、disappointed后也接完成时,但要注意与一般时的区别。
I’m sorry to keep you waiting for a minute.对不起,请稍等。(说话时还未等)
I’m sorry to have kept you waiting.对不起,让你久等了。(说话时已等了很久)
②不定式的完成时还可表示“过去本想做某事但未做”的虚拟语气。(A)should like to / would like to / would love to + 不定式的完成时。(B)was / were to + 不定式的完成时,表示该做某事或想做但未实现。(C)expect / hope / mean / promise / suppose / think / want/ wish + 不定式完成时,表示过去未曾实现的愿望。
(7)不定式的省略。
①同一结构并列由and或or连接。
I want to finish my homework and go home.
I’m really puzzled what to think or say.
特例:To be or not to be,this is a question.
He is better to laugh than to cry.(表示对比)
②不定式作表语,其前面的主语从句中含有do时,后面的to省略。
What he did was lose the game.
③句中含有动词do时,but、except、besides、such as等后面to可省略。即“前有do,后省to”。
Don’t do anything silly, such as marry him.
④主句含有不定式,后面有rather than, rather than后省to。
⑤Why not、had better、would rather、can’t but等词后省to。如:
He could not but walk home.
(8)不定式的替代。
多用在同一句或联系紧密的对话中,为了避免重复,作宾语或主补,宾补的不定式再次出现时,to后的内容常承前省略(只保留to即可)。但如果承前省略的不定式有助动用的have或be任何形式,后应该保留原形be或have。如:
Susan is not what she used to be.
—You came late last night. You ought to have finished your homework.
—I know I ought to have.
常见的有:I’d like / love / be happy to.
3、动名词复习中应注意的几个问题
(1)动名词作宾语。
①下列动词后只能接动名词:suggest, finish, avoid, stop, can’t help, mind, enjoy, require, practise, miss, escape, pardon, advise, consider, imagine, keep, appreciate, eacape, permit。
②下列动词短语接动名词:leave off, put off, give up, look forward to, feel like, have trouble / difficulty(in) doing sth. devote to, get used to, pay attention to, be fond of, be worth。
③介词后要接动名词。what about、how about、without、be fond of、be good at等介词后接动名词。注意on / upon doing sth. = as soon as 引导的从中。作此意讲时on / upon后也可以接名词。如on his arrival…。
④动名词作宾语和动词不定式作宾语的区别:
begin, start, continue, like, love, dislike, hate, prefer, can’t stand
例 句
解 析
1. It began to rain. It began raining.
2. It was beginning to snow.
3. I love lying (to lie)on my back.
4. I like listening to music, but today I don’t like to.
5. I don’t prefer to swim in the river now.
1. 意思无差别,但谓语动词用进行时,后面只跟不定式。
2. 表示一种倾向多接动名词作宾语,如果表示某一特定的或具体的行动,多接不定式。
remember, forget, regret, try
例 句
解 析
1. I remember to meet her at the station.
I remember seeing her once somewhere.
2. I forgot giving it to you yesterday.
I forgot to tell you about it. Now here it is.
3. I regret not having working hard.
I regret to hear of your sister’s death.
4. Try knocking at the back door.
1. remember to do sth.记住要做的事
remember doing sth.回顾过去发生的事
2. forget to do sth.忘记要做的事forget doing sth.忘记做过的事
3. regret to do sth.对将要做的事抱歉regret doing sth.
We must try to get everything ready.
5. That will mean flooding some land.
I had meant to go on Monday.
对发生过的事后悔
4. try to do sth.设法……,试图
try doing sth.试试看,试一试
5. mean to do sth.打算做……,想要mean doing sth.意味着,就是
want, require, need
例 句
解 析
These desks need repairing.
These desks need to be repaired.
The patient required examined
The patient required to be examined.
1. need doing 需要被做
need to be done需要被做
2. want doing
want to be done
3. require doing
require to be done
4、分词复习应注意的几个问题
(1)现在分词在句中作时间、原因、伴随、条件、结果等状语。
①时间状语(分词作状语前面可加when, while等)
Hearing the good news, he jumped with greatjoy.
Not having finished her work in time, the boss fired her.
②原因状语
Seeing nobody at home, he decided to leave them a note
③伴随状语
The girls came in, following their parents.
④结果状语
The poor old man died, leaving nothing to his children.
注意:现在分词作状语的几个特性。①时间性。与谓语动词同时发生,用一般时,如发生在谓语动作之前时则用完成式having done。②语态性。与句子的主语之间的关系,是主谓关系或动宾关系。遵循的规则“主动进行,被动完成”。③人称一致性。分词的逻辑主语就是句子的主语。
(2)分词作表语。
S. + be + 动词-ed表示被动,主语是人;S. + be + 动词-ing表示主动,主语是物。分词作宾补不定式作宾补的区别:
感官动词 动词原形→做了某事
S.+ + 宾语 + 现在分词→正在做某事
使役动词 过去分词→做了或被做
5、复习过去分词应注意的几个问题
过去分词作状语,相当于一个状语从句,有来说明原因、时间、条件等。
(1)过去分词作原因状语
Tired by the trip, he soon feel asleep.
= Because he was tired by the trip, he soon fell asleep.
Lost in thought, he almost ran into a car.
=As he was lost in thought, he almost ran into a car.
(2)作时间状语
Seen from the hill, the city looks like a garden.
=When the city is seen from the hill, it looks like a garden.
(3)作条件状语
Given more time, I would have worked out the problem.
=If I have been given more time, I would have worked out the problem.
(4)伴随状语
The teacher came in, followed by some students.
=The teacher came in and was followed by some students.
分词短语作状语时,通常与主句中的主语在逻辑上一致,但有时它也可以有自己独立的逻辑上的主语,这种结构称为独立主格结构。如:
Her grandfather being ill, she had to stay at home looking after him.
二、精典名题导解
选择填空
1. __________such heavy pollution already, it may now be too late to clean up the river. (NMET 2001)
A. Having suffered B. Suffering C. To suffer D. Suffered
解析:答案为A。本题考查分词短语作状语的用法。分词作状语,其逻辑主语必须是句子的主语,而本句的主语看似是it,其实它为形式主语,真正的主语为不定式,而不定式省略了逻辑主语for people,所以应用现在分词,又因already,应用完成时。
2. One learns a language by making mistakes and _______ them.(2001年春季高考)
A. correct B. correcting C. corrects D. to correct
解析:答案为B。本题考查动名词作介词宾语的用法。介词by意为“通过……,凭……”,后面常接动名词,形成“by+ v. –ing ”结构,表示通过做某事而得到某种结果。本题中只有correcting符合。
3. The picture _________ on the wall is painted by my nephew.(2000年春季高考)
A. having hung B. hanging C. hangs D. being hung
解析:答案为B。本题考查现在分词作定语的用法。根据句意“墙上挂的那幅画是我侄子画的”,可知空白处所填的动词形式在句中作定语,表说话时仍在进行的动作或所处的解题关键在于分析picture与hang之间的逻辑关系。
4.“We can’t go out in this weather,”said Bob, out of the window.
A. looking B. to look C. looked D. having looked
解析:答案为A。本句考非谓与动词作伴随状语。全句合理的句意是:Bob看着窗外说,“我们不能在这种天气出去”。Bob在说话的同时在看着窗外,应使用现在分词一般式,表主动和进行。A项正合语境。B项不定式表主动、将来的动作。C项表被动完成的动作(上处不是并列谓语)。D项表完成的主动动作,均不和语境。
5.Reading is an experience quite different from watching TV; there are pictures in your mind instead of before your eyes.
A. to form B. form C. forming D. having formed
解析:答案为C。全句意为:读书是一种与看电视相当不同的体验,有画面在你的心中,而不是在你的眼前形成。所以本题考非谓语动词,表主动且进行着的动作。人们看书时,读到什么情节或场面,这样的情节或场面便(同时)在心中形成。
6. The news reporters hurried to the airport, only the film stars had left.
A. to tell B. to be told C. telling D. told
解析:答案为B。本题考查非谓语用法。only + to do 常用此结构作结果状语,tell及物动词,tell之后常带双宾结构,故tell采用被动形式。
语法复习专题十——虚拟语气
一、考点聚焦
1、虚拟语气用于条件状语从句中
(1)表示与现在事实相反的假设,条件状语从句中的谓语动词用“过去式(be动词的过去式用were)”,而主句中的谓语动词用“would / should/ could / might + 动词原形”。如:
If I were a boy, I would join the army.
If the had time, she should go with you.
(2)表示与过去的事实相反,条件状语从句中的谓语动词用过去完成时,主句中的谓语动词则用“would / should / might / could + have +过去分词”。如:
If he had taken my advice, he would have succeeded in the competition.
(3)表示与将来事实相反,条件状语从句中的谓语动词一般过去时或should(were to) + 动词原形,而主句中的谓语动词则用would / should/
could might + 动词原形。如;
If it were to rain tomorrow, the football match would be put off.
(4)当条件状语从句表示的行为和主句表示的行为所发生的时间不一致时,动词的形式要根据它所表示的时间作相应调整。如:
If they had worked hard, they would be very tired.(从句说的是过去,主句指的是现在)
以下表格是虚拟语气用于条件状语从句中时,主句和从句谓语动词的形式:
条件状语从句
主 句
与过去事实相反
had + 过去分词
should /would/could/might + have + 过去分词
与现在事实相反
一般过去时(be用were)
would/should/could/might + 动词原形
与将来事实相反
一般过去时或should(were to) + 动词原形
Would/should/cold/might + 动词原形
有时侯在使用时可省略if,句子则可换成下列形式,即“were / had / should +主语”。如:
Were I a boy, I would join the army.
Had he taken my advice, he would have succeeded.
Were it not for the expense, I would go to Britain.
2、虚拟语气用于名词性从句
(1)虚拟语气在宾语从句中的运用。
①“wish + 宾语从句”表示不能实现的愿望,译为“要是……就好了”等。表示现在不能实现的愿望,从句中的谓语动词用一般过去时;表示将来不能实现的愿望,从句中的谓语动词用“would/could + 动词原形”;表示过去不能实现的愿望,从句中的谓语动词用“had + 过去分词”或“could(should) + have + 过去分词”。如:
I wish it were spring all the year round.
I wish I had known the answer.
I wish I could fly like a bird.
②在表示建议、要求、命令等的动词suggest、advise、propose、demand、require、insist request、command、order等后的宾语从句中,谓语动词用should + 动词原形或是动词原形。如:
She suggested we (should)leave here at once.
The doctor ordered she should be operated.
(2)虚拟语气在同位语从句和表语从句中的运用。
作表示建议、要求、命令等的名词advise、idea、order、demand、plan、proposal、suggestion、request等的表语从句和同位语从句,从句中的谓语动词用“(should) + 动词原形”。如:
His suggestion that we (should)go to Shanghai is wonderful.
My idea is that they (should)pay 100 dollars.
(3)虚拟语气在主语从句中的运用。
在主语从句中,谓语动词的虚拟语气用“should + 动词原形”的结构,表示惊奇、不相信、理应如此等。如:
It is necessary (important, natural, strange, etc.)that we should clean the room every day.
It was a pity (a shame, no wonder, etc.)that you should be so careless.
It will be desired (suggested, decided, ordered, requested, proposed, etc.)that she should finish her homework this afternoon.
注意:这种从句表示的是事实。如果说人对这种事实表现出惊奇的情感,就可用虚拟语气。反之,如果不表示惊奇等情感,that从句也可用陈述句语气。如:
It is pity that you can’t swim.
3、虚拟语气在其他场合的运用
(1)虚拟语气在as if/as though、even if/even though等引导的表语从句或状语从句中,如果从句表示的动作发生在过去,用过去完成时;指现在状况,则用一般过去时;指将来状况则用过去将来时。如:
He did it as if he were an expert.
Even if she were here, she could not solve the problem.
(2)虚拟语气用于定语从句中。
这种从句常用于句型“It is (high)time (that) … ”中,定语从句的谓语动词用一般过去时(be用were)或should + 动词原形,意思是“(现在)该……”。如:
It’s time that I picked up my daughter.
It’s high time we were going.
(3)虚拟语气用在if only引导的感叹句中。如:
If only I were a bird.
If only I had taken his advice.
(4)虚拟语气在一些简单句中的运用。
①情态动词的过去式用于现在时态时,表示说话人谦虚、客气、有礼貌或语气委婉,常出现在日常会话中。如:
It would be better for you not to stay up too late.
Would you be kind enough to close the door?
②用于一些习惯表达法中。如:
Would you like a cup of tea?
I would rather not tell you.
二、精典名题导解
选择填空
1. When a pencil is partly in a glass of water, it looks as if it _______. (NMET 95)
A. breaks B. has broken C. were broken D. had been broken
解析:答案为C。本题考查的是as if 引导的让步状语从句中的语气问题,as if引导的状语从句如果与事实一致,不用虚拟语气,如果与事实相反,应用虚拟语气。题中“当铅笔的一部分浸在水中,铅笔看上去好像断了”。而实际上铅笔并未断,与事实相反,前半部分陈述是一般现在时,因而本句是对一般现在时的虚拟,用were broken。
2. I didn’t see your sister at the meeting. If she ___________, she would have met my brother.(NMET 94)
A. has come B. did come C. came D. had come
解析:答案为D。本题考查的是if条件句中的虚拟语气。题意是:我在会议上没看到你姐姐,故你姐姐没来。因此如果“她来了”与事实相反,前面一句交代了虚拟语气的时态是一般过去时的虚拟,所以if从句中用had+过去分词。
3. —If he ___________, he ________that food.
—Luckily he was sent to the hospital immediately.(NMET 93)
A. was warned; would not take
B. had been warned; would not have taken
C. would be warned; had not taken
D. would have been warned; had not taken
解析:答案为B。本题考查的是条件状语从句与主句表示与事实相反时虚拟语气的用法。根据下一句语境可知,他事先并没有得到警告,表示过去时间的虚拟语气,故选B。
4. Mr.White at 8:30 for the meeting, but he didn’t show up.
A. should have arrived B. should arrive
C. should have had arrived D. should be arriving
解析:答案为A。本题考虚拟语气及责备的用法,全句意为:Mr.white 8:30(原本)应该到会的,但他没露面。全句谈的是过去的事,故应使用should have done结构,表原本该做而没做的事。
5.—I’ll tell Mary about her new job tomorrow.
—You her last week.
A. ought to tell B. would have told
C. must tell D. should have told
解析:答案为D。本题考查情态动词用法,should(ought to)have done表示说话人对发生的事性“责备”故选D。
6.—Let’s go and have a good drink tonight.
— Have you got the first prize in the competition?
A. What for? B. Thanks a lot.
C. Yes, I’d like to. D. Why not?
解析:答案为A。考语境及交际用语。前句建议:今晚咱们出去好好喝一顿吧。喝一顿应有个来由和原因,且多是为了庆祝某事,所以后句问:为何事(庆祝)?你是不是在竞赛中得了一等奖?这样才能表示后者惊讶、疑问和兴奋,what for:为何而做某事?其余均不合语境。
语法复习专题十一——名词性从句
一、考点聚焦
1、名词性从句中连接词的运用
名词性从句中的连接词有连词that / whether / as if,连接代词what / who/ which / whose / whatever / whoever / whomever / whichever,连接副词where / when / why / how / wherever / whenever。
(1)that的用法。
①主语从句、表语从句、同位语从句中用that但不能省略。如:
That they are good at English is known to us all.
The problem is that we don’t have enough money.
She expressed the hope that they would come to China one day.
②宾语从句中的连接词that有时可省有时又不可省,在以下几种情况中that不能省略:(A)当that从句和主句谓语动词之间有插入词语或者从句主语之间有插入语时,that不可省略;(B)当that 从句与另一名词性从句并列作宾语时,that不能省;(C)当that作介词宾语时,that不可省掉。如:
He judged that, because he was a child, he did not understand wine
Everyone knew what happened and that she was worried.
The reason lies in that she works harder than the others do.
③that从句作主语和宾语时,可以用it 来替换成以下几种结构表达。
(A)It is clear/certain/likely/true/surprising that… (B)It is a pity/shame/good idea/no wonder that ...(C)It is said/reported/ believed/known/thought/suggested that … (D)It seems/happens that。如:
It happened that I went out last night.
It is said that China will win in the World Cup.
④that和what的区别。
that 引导名词性从句时,在主从句中不以当任何句子成分,也没有任何含义;而what引导名词性从句时,在主从句中都要充当一定的句子成分,what可以分解成定语从句中的先行词 + 关系代词即常说的先行词 + that。如:
It’s shame that he has made such a mistake. Do what he says.
⑤同位语从句与定语从句中that的区别。
同位语从句中的连词that只起连接作用,在从句中不担当任何句子成分;而定语从句中的关系代词that在句中做宾语或主语,宾语与先行词有修饰关系。如果句子是同位语从句,就应用连词that而不能用which.同位语从句一般放在表具体含义的名词后解释名词的含义或内容,如以下名词:news、fact、suggestion、truth、plan、belief、doubt、possibility、idea等,而定语从句只是对先行词的限定和修饰。如:
They expressed the hope that they would come to visit China again.(同位语从句)
The hope she expressed is that they would come to visit China again.(定语从句)
(2)whether和if的用法。
①whether和if在宾语从句中可以互换,但是作介词宾语时连接词一般用whether。如:
It all depends on whether they will come back.
②后面直接跟or not 时用whether。如:
I didn’t know whether or not he had arrived in Wuhan.
③主语从句表语从句中只能用whether。如:
Whether the meeting will be put off has not been decided yet.
The question is whether they have so much money.
④whether可以引导同位语从句,用以说明前面的名词的内容,if不能。如:
We ought to discuss carefully the question whether we can do
it or not.
⑤whether常与or连用表示一种选择,if不能这样用;whether也可与动词不定式连用但if不能。如:
The question of whether they are male or female is not important.
I have not decided whether to go or not.
⑥间接引语位于句首时或者是间接引语提前时用whether不用if。如:
Thank you, but whether I’ll be free I’m not sure at the moment.
⑦whether可引导一个让步状语从句表示“不管”、“无论”,而if不能。如:
Whether he comes or not, we will begin our party on time.
(3)疑问词 + ever和no matter + 疑问词的区别。
①疑问词 + ever可引导名词性从句,在主从句中要充当一定的部分。如:
Whoever breaks the rule must be punished.
You can choose whatever you like in the shop.
②疑问词 + ever还可引导让步状语从句。如:
Whoever breaks the rule, he must be punished,
Whatever you do, you must do it well.
③no matter + 疑问词只能引导让步状语从句。如:
No matter what you do, you must do it well.
No matter who breaks the rule, he must be punished.
(4)when和where引导的同位语从句与定语从句的区别。
when 和where前面的名词若是表示时间、地点的名词,则when和where引导的是定语从句,否则则为同位语从句。如:
They put forward the question where they could get the money.
This is the place where the accident happened.
2、名词性从句中主句和从句的时态一致
(1)宾语从句中主句和从句的时态保持一致,但如果从句中表示提示的是客观现象,虽然主句是过去时态,从句仍用一般现在时。如:
Hello,I didn’t know you were in London. How long have you been here?
The teacher told us that light travels at a very high speed.
(2)主语从句作主语相当于单数第三人称作主语,谓语动词用单数,如果由and 连接两个或两个以上的主语从句作主语时,谓语动词用复数;由两个或多个连接词引导一个主语从句,谓语动词用单数。如:
When the meeting will begin has not been decided yet.
When they will start and where they go have not been decided yet.
When and where the meeting will begin has not been decided.
3、名词性从句的词序
名词性从句在句中要用陈述句语序。如:
He asked me what was the matter with me.
We’ve heard the news that we’ll move into the new house.
Whatever you say will interest us all.
二、精典名题导解
选择填空
1. A computer can only do ________ you have instructed it to do.(NMET 2001)
A. how B. after C. what D. when
解析:答案为C。本题考查的是名词性从句作宾语的用法。此句的引导词既作连词又在宾语从句中充当一成分,故what最合适。
2. —I drove to Zhuhai for the air show last week..
—Is that _________ you had a few days off ? (NMET 99)
A. why B. when C. what D. where
解析:答案为A。此题考查的是从句的用法。根据题意“我上周开车去珠海看航空展去了。”下面一句接着问:“那就是你为什么离开的原因吗?”故用why引导表语从句表示原因。
3. I hate __________ when peope talk with their mouths full.(NMET 98)
A. it B. that C. these D. them
解析:答案为A。本题考查的是形式宾语的用法。题意为“我讨厌人们谈话时嘴里塞满东西”。该空白处没有任何含义,而且已经用了when连接该宾语从句,所以此处只填一个形式宾语it。
4.I think Father would like to know I’ve been up to so far, so I decide to send him a quick note.
A. which B. why C. what D. how
解析:答案为C。考查宾语从句连词用法,由结构sb. be up to sth.可知,应选what作介词to的宾语。
5. We cannot figure out quite a number of insects, birds, and animals are dying out.
A. that B. as C. why D. when
解析:答案为C。本题考查宾语从句知识,figure out为及物动词,故此句为宾语从句,从句意得知连词在从句中作原因状语,故选why.
6.After Yang Liwei succeeded in circling the earth, our astronauts desire do is walk in space.
A. where B. what C. that D. how
解析:答案为B。此题句子为时间状语从句,全主句的主语是由主语从句来充当的,并且主语从句中不定式动词do缺少宾语,故选what。
语法复习专题十二——定语从句
一、考点聚焦
1、功能:相当于形容词,修饰名词或代词,在句中作定语
2、位置:定语从句置于被修饰词之后
Those who are willing to attend the party, sign here please.
3、先行词:被定语从句修饰的词称为先行词
(1)先行词一般是名词和不定代词,如:some-, any-, every-和no与-boy, -thing的合成词;或all、none、any、some、that、those等代词。数词也可以作先行词,人称代词也同样可作先行词。
(2)先行词与关系词是等量关系。必须注意两点:
①先行词在从句中作主语时,从句谓语动词的数由先行词而定。
This is the place which is worth visiting.
②关系词在从句句子中充当了成分,其意思就是先行词的意义,所以在从句中不能重复其意。
There are many places we can visit(them)in China.
4、关系词:引导定语从句的都称关系词
关系代词:who, whom, which, that, whose, as。
关系副词:when, where, why。that偶尔也作关系副词。
5、确定关系词的步骤
(1)先找关系词,看先行词指的是什么。
(2)看关系词在从句中所充当的成分。
6、在定语从句中,当先行词指物时,下列情况的关系词宜用that而不用which
(1)先行词被①形容词最高级 ②序数词 ③数词几种词修饰或被 ④only、any、few、little、no、all、one of等修饰时。
(2)先行词为all、much、little、none、few、one、something、anything等不定代词时。
(3)先行词中既有人又有物时。
He was looking pleasantly at te children and parcels that filled his bus.
(4)先行词在主句中作表语关系词在从句中作表语时。
The village is no longer the one that was 5 years ago.
(5)当主句中含有疑问词which时。
Which are the books that you bought for me ?
7、宜用which而不用that的情况
(1)在非限制性定语从句中
(2)在关系词前有介词时
(3)当先行词本身是that时
(4)当关系词离先行词较远时
8、关系词who与that指人时,也有不同情况分别用不同的关系词
(1)当主句是there be句型时,关系词用who。
(2)先行词是为anyone、those、someone、everyone、one等词时,关系词用who。
(3)当主句是who作疑问词时,关系词用that。
Who is that girl that is standing by the window?
(4)whom在从句中只作宾语,可被who取代。
9、whose作关系词既指人又指物,在从句中作定语。如:
Do you know Mr.Smith whose story is very moving ?
There is a room, whose window faces the river.
There is a room, the window of which faces the river.
10、关系代词as,在从句中作主语、宾语和表语。
(1)先行词被such和the same修饰,或句型as many(much)中,从句都用as 引导。
Such books as you bought are useful.
The school is just the same as it was 10 years age.
注意:区别①such … that … 引导的结果状语从句。They are such lovely children that we love them much.②the same … that … 引导定语从句。I want to use the same tool that you used just now.
(2)无先行词的定语从句用as和which引导。
区别:①意义上:as 含有“这点正如……一样”。②位置上:as 从句可置句首,也可在另处。
He didn’t pass the exam, as we had expected.
There is lots of air in loose snow, which can keep the cold out.
As is known, the earth is round, not flat.
11、关系副词when与where、why、that
when 指时间 = in / at / on / during which
where指地点 = in / at / from / which
why指原因 = for which
当先行词为way、day、reason、time时,可用that作关系副词。(非正式场合)
I don’t like the way that / in which / he talks.
当time作先行词时,关系词可以省掉。
This is the first time I have given you a lesson in French.
12、必须注意的问题
(1)关系词作主语时,从句中谓语的数。
(2)注意区别定语从句与强调句。
①定语从句中关系词作从句成分,复合句。
②强调it无意义,that / who不是引导词。
③强调it is / was和that / who后如果句子意思讲得通则是强调句,讲不通则不是。
It is the museum that / which we visited last year.(定语从句)
It was in the hotel that we stayed last night.(强调句)
(3)定语从句与同位语从句的区别。
①定语从句引导词被称为关系词,that充当主语、宾语、表语。有时可省略。
②同位语从句引导词被叫做连词,that不能充当任何成分,不可省。
Word came that their army was defeated.(同位语)
We expressed to them our wish that was the same as their.(定语)
(4)关系词在从句中省略的情况。
①关系词作宾语,前无介词时。
②关系词作表语。
(5)限制性定语从句与非限制性定语从句的翻译。
(6)关系词前有介词或复杂介词,关系词只能是which和whom。
(7)几个特殊的定语从句句型:
①He is the only one of the students who has got very good marks
in the match.(句中one为先行词)
He is one of the students who have got good marks in the match.(句中students为先行词)
②Is this place the one (that) we visited yesterday?
Is this the place(that / which)we visited yesterday ?
③He stood at the window, from where he could see what was happening.
④It may rain, in which case the match will be put off.
二、精典名题导解
选择填空
1. The film brought the hours back to me _________ I was taken good care of in that faraway village.(NMET 2001)
A. until B. that C. when D. where
解析:答案为C。本题考查分隔定语从句的关系词的选择。作好本题的关键是要能辨认出该定语从句的先行词the hours和关系词被介词短语to me所分隔。定语从句的先行词是表时间的名词hours, 并且关系词在从句中用作状语,故应选择表示时间的关系副词when。
2. ___________ is known to everybody, the noon travels around the earth once every month. (NMET 2001)
A. It B. As C. That D. What
解析:答案为B。本题考查as引导的非限制定语从句。as作“正如……”解时,引导的非限制性定语从句来修饰整个句子。当as在从句中作主语时,常用于下列短语:as is known、as is said、as is reported、as is announced等。要注意掌握作关系代词引导定语从句的用法。
3. After living in Pairs for fifty years he returned to the small town ___________ he grew up as a child. (NMET 1996)
A. which B. where C. that D. when
解析:答案为B。本题考查限制性定语从句中关系词的选择。定语从句的先行词是表示地点的名词短语the small town, 且关系词不作定语从句中的主语和宾语而作地点状语,因此定语从句必须用关系副词where引导。要注意分清先行词在从句中充当的成分,然后选择适当的关系词。
4. The English play my students acted at the New Year’s party was a great success.
A. for which B. at which C. in which D. on which
解析:答案为C。考定语从句。主句部分应是The English play at the New Year’s party was a great success.从句补全为独立句子应是my students acted in the play。所以应选in which,其余介词不妥。
5. There were dirty marks on her trousers she had wiped her hands.
A. where B. which C. when D. that
解析:答案为A。本题考地点状语从句,用where引导。句意是“她的裤子上她擦过手的地方有脏痕”。此处不能用时间状语从句,排除C,本题易被误认为考定语从句,意为“在她擦过手的裤子上有脏痕”。定语从句修饰trousers,也只能用where。B和D可引导定语从句,但只作主、宾等成分。定语从句缺少状语,不缺主语、宾语,故不可用。
6. The journey around the world took the old sailor nine months, the sailing time was 226 days.
A. of which B. during which C. from which D. for which
解析:答案为A。本题考定语从句,关系代词which指代the journey,定语从句恢复为独立句子应是:The sailing time of the journey was 226 days,故选of which。
语法复习专题十三——状语从句
一、考点聚焦
1、时间状语从句
(1)as、when、while用法一览表。
类别
作 用
例 句
as
as表示“当……的时候”,往往和when/ while通用,但它着重强调主句与从句的动作或事情同时或几乎同时发生。
She came up as I was cooking.(同时)
The runners started as the gun went off.(几乎同时)
when
(at or during the time that )既可以表示在某一点的时候,又可表示在某一段时间内,主句与从句的动作或事情可以同时发生也可以先后发生。
It was raining when we arrived.(指时间点)
When we were at school, we went to the library every day.(在一段时间内)
while
while意思是“当……的时候”或“在某一段时间里”。主句中的动作或事情在从句中的动作或事情的进展过程中发生,从句中的动词一般要用延续性动词。在when表示a period of time时,两者可以互换。
Please don’t talk so loud while others are working.
He fell asleep while/when reading. Strike while the iron is hot. (用as或when不可,这里的while意思是“趁……”)
(2)引导时间状语从句的连接词除上述外还有:
①till, not … until …, until, before, since
Don’t get off the bus until it has stopped.
He waited for his father until(till)it was twelve o’clock.
It will be five years before he returns from England.
②hardly / scarcely … when, no sooner … than, as soon as once
表示“一……就”
As soon as I have finished it , I’ll give yu a call.
Once you show any fear, he will attack you.
We had hardly got / Hardly had we got into the country when it
began to rain.
No sooner had he arrived / He had no sooner arrived than she started complaining.
③directly, immediately, the moment, the minute that… 一……就
He made for the door directly he heard the knock.
④each time, every time, by the time
Each time he came to my city, he would call on me.
注意:表示未来情况,主句用将来时,从句用现在时。
2、让步状语从句
(1)although与though可以引导让步状语从句,不能与but连用,但可以与yet连用。
Although they are poor,(yet)they are warm-hearted.
(2)even if或even though引导让步状语从句,表示“即使”,“纵然”,用来使人注意下文所强调内容的性质。
I’ll get there even if(though)I have to sell my house to get enough money to go by air.
(3)no matter后接上who、what、where、how等疑问词,也可以在这类疑问词后面加上ever构成whoever、whatever、wherever、however等。
Don’t trust him, no matter what / whatever he says.
Whoever breaks the law will be published.
No matter how hard the work is, you’d better try to do it well.
(4)as也可以引导让步状语从句。要用倒装。
Child as(though)he is, he knows a lot.
Much as I like it, I won’t buy.
Try as he would, he couldn’t lift the heavy box.
3、原因状语从句:because, for, as, since, now that
(1)表示不知道的原因时用because,即说话人认为听话人不知道,因此because从句是全句最重要的部分,通常它被置于主句之后。
You want to know why I’m leaving? I’m leaving because I’m full.
for虽然表示不知道的原因,但其语气较because要弱得多,是可说可不说的话,它只能置于主句之后,这时,for是并列连词。如果不是因果关系,而是对前面主句的内容加以解释或推断时,只能用for。如:It’s morning now, for the birds are singing.(很显然,鸟叫不可能是“现在已是早上”的原因。)
(2)表示已经知道的原因时用as或since,即某种原因在说话人看来已经很明显,或已为听话人所熟悉,因此它是句中不很重要的部分。since要比as正式一些,它们通常被置于语句之前,但有时却相反。
Seeing all of the children already seated, he said,“Since everyone is here, let’s start.”
(3)下列情况下只能使用because:
①在回答why的问句时;
②在用于强调句型时;
③被not所否定时。
4、地点状语从句:where, wherever
Make a mark wherever you have any questions.
We will go where the Party directs us.
5、目的状语从句:that, so that, in order that
注意:目的状语从句的谓语动词常与情态动词连用,否则可能是结果状语从句。不可置于句首。
6、结果状语从句:that, so that, so … that, such … that …
注意:so + 形容词/副词 + that从句;such + 名词 + that从句。
7、方式状语从句:as, as if(though)
I’ll do as I am told to.
It looks as if it is going to rain.
8、比较状语从句:than, as
9、条件状语从句:if, unless, so (as) long as, in case, once, a far as, on condition that.
注意if与unless的区别:不能用and连接两个unless从句,即不能有… unless …,and unless … 。但if … not and if … not却不受此限。
You won’t lose your weight unless you eat less and unless you exercise more. (×)
但可以说 … unless you eat less and exercise more.
10、注意状语从句中从句的省略现象
(1)连接词 + 过去分词
Don’t speak until spoken to.
Pressure can be incrased when needed.
Unless repaired, the washing machine is no use.
(2)连词 + 现在分词
Look out while crossing the street.
(3)连词 + 形容词/其他
常见的有it necessary、if possible、when necessary、if any等。
二、精典名题导解
选择填空
1. I don’t think I’ll need any money but I’ll bring some ____________.(NMET 2000)
A. as last B. in case C. once again D. in time
解析:答案为B。句意为“带些钱以防万一”,只能选择in case。引导的条件状语从句,后面省略了I should need it。
2. The WTO can’t live up to its name _________ it doesn’t include a country that is home to one fifth of mankind.(NMET 2000)
A. as long as B. while C. if D. even though
解析:答案为C。本题考查状语从句的用法。句意为“假如世贸组织不包括占世界人口五分之一的中国的话,那它就名不副实”。as long as语气过于强烈,while和even though不符合句意。
3、Someone called me up in the middle of the night, but they hung up_________I could answer the phone.(NMET 2000)
A. as B. since C. before D. until
解析:答案为C。题意为:半夜里有人打来电话,我没来得及就挂了。but暗示在接话前就挂了。
4. You should try to get a good night’s sleep much work you have to do.
A. however B. no matter C. although D. whatever

5. He speaks English well indeed, but of course not a native speaker.
A. as fluent as B. more fluent than
C. so fluently as D. much fluently than
解析:答案为C。此题考查So adj./adv. As和as adj. / adv. As 用法,前者主要用于否定句,在这里要修饰谓语动词,故选C。
语法复习专题十四——主谓一致和倒装
一、考点聚焦
1、语法形式上的一致
主语为单数形式,谓语动词用单数形式;主语为复数形式,谓语动词也用复数形式。
The number of students in our school is 1,700.
Mary and Kelly look alike.
2、意义上一致
(1)主语形式虽为单数,但意义为复数,谓语动词用复数。
The crowd were runing for their lives.
单数形式代表复数内容的词有people、police、cattle等。
(2)主语形式为复数,而意义上却是单数,谓语动词用单数。The news is very exciting.
形复意单的单词有new、works(工厂)、means和以ics结尾的学科名称physics、poli-tics、economics等。
3、就近原则。即谓语动词的单复数形式取决于最靠近它的词语。如果连词or、either … or、neither … nor、not only … but also等连接的并列主语,如果一个是单数,一个是复数,谓语动词与靠近它的主语一致。
Either you or I am mad.
4、应注意的若干问题
(1)名词作主语。
①某些集体名词如family、team等作主语时,如果作为一个整体看待,谓语用单数,反之用复数。
My family is going out for a trip.
The whole family are watching TV.
这类词常有audience、class club、committee、company、crew、crowd、enemy、government、group、party、public、team等。
Population和“a group(crowd)of + 复数名词”也适用于这种情况,强调整体用单数,强调各个部分用复数。
②某些集体名词如people、police、cattle、oxen只当复数看待,谓语动词必须用复数。
③单、复数同形的名词作主语时,谓语动词应根据意义决定单、复数。
A sheep is over there. Some sheep are over there.
④名词所有格之后的名词被省略,这种情况一般只指商店、工场、住宅等;作主语时,动词一般用单数。My uncle’s is not for from here.
常见的省略名词有the baker’s 、the barbar’s、the Zhang’s等。
表示店铺的名词一般作集体名词看待,但用作主语时,谓语动词往往用复数。如:
Richardson’s have a lot of old goods to sell.
⑤当名词词组中心词为表示度量、距离、金额、时间、书名等复数名词时,往往可以根据意义一致的原则,把这些复数名词看作一个整体,谓语用单数。
Thirty years has passed.
Five minutes is enough to finish the task.
⑥不定代词each、every、no所修饰的名词即使以and或逗号连接成多主语时,谓语动词仍用单数形式。如:
Each boy and each girl in my class has a dictionary.
⑦如果主语有more than one … 或many a … 构成,尽管从意义上
看是复数内容,但它的谓语动词用单数形式。
More than one student has seen the play.
Many a boy has bought that kind of toy.
但是,“more + 复数名词 + than one”结构之后,谓语用复数。
⑧一些由两个部分构成的名词表示衣物或工具作主语时,谓语通常用复数形式。如glasses、clothes、trousers、shoes、compasses、chopsticks、scissors等。
但如果主语用a kind of、a pair of、a series of等加名词构成时,谓语动词一般用单数形式。
A pair of shoes was on the desk.
⑨this kind of book = a book of this kind(这种书),其谓语动词;短语this kind of men = men of this kind = these kind of
men(口语)(这一类人),但this kind of men的谓语用单数,men of this kind和these kind of men的谓语用复数,all kinds of后跟复数名词,谓语用复数形式。如:
This kind of men is dangerous.
Men of theis kind/sort are dangerous.
⑩复数形式的单、复数同形名词作主语时,按意义一致的原则,用作单数意义时,谓语用单数,反之,谓语用复数。这类名词有means、works、species(种类)、Chinese、Japanese等。当它们的前面有 a、such a、this、that修饰时,谓语用单数;有all、such、these、those修饰时,谓语用复数。
如果名词词组中心词是all、most、half、rest
等词语,所指是复数意义,谓语动词用复数形式,反之用单数。
All of my students work hard.
All of the oil is gone.
在主谓倒装的句子中,谓语动词的数应与其后的主语一致。如:
Between the two windows hangs an oil painting.
(2)由连接词连接的名词作主语。
①用and或both … and 连接并列主语,谓语动词通常用复数形式。但如果并列主语指的是同一个人,同一事物或同一概念时,谓语动词用单数形式,这时and后面的名词没有冠词。
Truth and honesty is the best policy.
To love and to be loved is the great happiness.
Going to bed early and getting up early is a good habit.
A knife and fork is on the table.
②当主语后面跟有as well as、as much as、no less than、along with、with、like、rather than、together with、but、except、besides、including、in addition to等引导的词组时,采取“就远原则”。
③以or、either … or、neigher … nor、not only … but also等连接的词作主语时,采取“就近原则”。
(3)代词作主语。
①名词型物主代词连接的动词,既可以用单数,也可以用复数,这取决于它所代替的是单数还是复数。
Ours (Our Party) is a great Party.
Your shoes are white, mine (= my shoes) are black.
②such、the same起指示代词作用时,应根据其所指的内容来决定单、复数。
Such is our plan. Such are his last words.
③关系代词who、that、which等在定语从句中作主语时,其谓语动词的数应与句中先行词的数一致。
④疑问词who、what、which作主语时,谓语动词可根据说话人所要表达的意思决定单、复数。
Who lives next door? It is Xiao Liu.
Who lives next door? It is Wang and Li.
⑤不定代词any、either、neither、none、all、some、more等作主语时,要注意下列情况:
(A)单独作主语时,视其在文中的意义,动词可用单数或复数形式。Now all has been changed. All are present.(B)其后接of时,若of的宾语为不可数名词,动词用单数形式;若of的宾语为复数名词或代词时,动词可以是单数,也可以是复数;在正式文体中,单数形式的动词更常用。Do (es) any of you know about the accident? None of us has
(have) seen the film.
(4)分数、量词作主语。
①“分数或百分数 + 名词”构成的短语以及由“a lot of, lots of, plenty of, a large quantity of, a heap of, heaps of, half of + 名词”构成的短语作主语时,其谓语动词要与短语中of后面的名词的数保持一致,这是因为短语中后面的名词是中心词,而短语中前面的量词是修饰语。如:
Lots of damage was caused by flood.
A number of students have gone to the countryside.
A large quantity of people is needed here.
Quantities of food (nuts) were still on the table.
②a great deal of、a large amount of修饰不可数名词,其短语作主语时,谓语动词通常用单数;large amounts of修饰不可数名词,其短语作主语时,谓语动词通常用复数。
③表示数量的one and a half后,名词要用复数形式,但是其短语作主语时,谓语动词用单数形式。
One and a half apples is left on the table.
④half of、(a)part of修饰可数名词单数及不可数名词时,谓语动词用单数,修饰可数名词复数时,谓语动词用复数。
(5)名词化的形容词作主语。
如果主语由“the + 形容词(或分词)”结构担任时,谓语通常用复数。这类词有the rich、the poor、the brave、the injured、the living、the wounded等。如表抽象的也可以用单数,如the unknown、the beautiful等。
(6)从句作主语。
①由what引导的主语从句,谓语动词通常用单数,但所指的具体内容是复数意义时,谓语动词一般用复数形式。
What we need is more money.
What we need are more people/teachers.
②在“one of + 复数名词 + who/that/which”引导的从句结构中,关系代词who/that/which的先行词是靠近它的复数名词而不是one,因此从句中的谓语动词也应该是复数形式。如one前有the only则用单数形式。
This is one of the most interesting stories that have been told by my father.
She was the only one of the girls who was late for class today.
(7)不定式、名动词(短语)作主语用单数形式;There be句型中be的单复数取决于be后的第一个词的数。
There is a book, two pens on the desk.
There are two pens, a book on the desk.
5、倒装句的要点复习
(1)在以there、here、now、then、such引导的,引起人们注意的招呼句要倒装。
There goes the bell. Here comes the bus.
(2)表示动态的状语,置于句首时,句子要倒装。
Off went the horse. In came the boss.
From the speaker comes the doctor’s voice.
(3)表示地点的词语置于句首或强调地点概念时。
South of the town lie two steel factories.
Between the two buildings stands a tall tree.
注意:句子的主语为人称代词时,句子不倒装。
Here it is. Away they went.
(4)否定词never、seldom、hardly、scarcely、barely、rarely、little、not、nowhere、by no means、at no time、neither、nor等放在句首时,句子常倒装。如:
By no means shall we give up.
Never have I been to the USA.
Seldom does she get up late in the morning.
(5)在not only … but also … no sooner … than …、hardly … when …、scarcely … when …、not until …、so … that …、such … that …句型中,主句倒装,从句不倒装,但要注意:neither … nor … 连接的句子前后两个分句都要倒装。
Not only is she smart but also she is beautiful.
Such great progress did he make that he was praised.
So heavy is the box that I can’t carry it.
Neither has he a pencil, nor has he a pen.
(6)Only + 状语或状语从句 +其他(only在句首时要倒装)。
Only then did I realize the importance of learning English.
(7)so、neither、nor放在句首时,表示前面的情况也适用于另一个人或物时,用部分倒装。
(8)表语或状语或动词原形 + as/though + 主语 + 其他时,句子要倒装。(在让步状语从句中)
(9)虚拟语气中用倒装代替if。
Were I you, I would go there at once.
Had you come yesterday, you could have helped us.
(10)在一些表示祝愿的句子中。
Long live China!
二、精典名题导解
选择填空
1.—Each of the students, working hard at his or her lessons, _________to go to university.
—So do I. (上海 1998)
A. hope B. hopes C. hoping D. hoped
解析:答案为B。本题考查主谓一致中的意义一致原则,不定代词either、neither、each、one、the other、another以及所有的复合不定代词作主语时,谓语动词应根据意义一致的原则采用单数形式,排除A。选项C是非谓语动词的一种,不能单独作谓语,亦应排除。根据答语中的时态又可排除选项D。
2. The number of people invited _________ fifty, but a number of them __________ absent for different reasons.(NMET 1996)
A. were; was B. was; was C. was; were D. were; were
解析:答案为C。本题考查the number of和a number of 的区别。“the number of + 复数名词/代词”结构中的中心词是number,“a number of + 复数名词/代词”结构中的中心词是of后的复数名词或代词,故谓语动词分别用单、复数。解题关键在于仔细区分哪个是真正的主语。
3.—David has made great progress recently.
—_______, and __________.(上海 1997)
A. So he has; so you have B. So he has; so have you
C. So has he; so have you D. So has he; so you have
解析:答案为B。 本题考查倒装知识。“So + 主语 + 助动词”表“确实如此”,“So + 助动词 + 主语”表“也一样。”
4.—I would never ever come to this restaurant again. The food is terrible!
— .
A. Nor am I B. Neither would I
C. Same with me D. So do I
解析:答案为B。本题主要考倒装,以so/nor/neither开头的倒装句子,在时态、语态、助动词、情态动词等谓语形式上,要尽可能与上文一致,故选B,排除A、D。如说“It’s the same with me”也可,但不能省略“the”。
5. The teacher, with 6 girls and 8 boys of her class, visiting a museum when the earthquake struck.
A. was B. were C. had been D. would be
解析:答案为A。本题考查主谓一致及时态知识,句子的主语是the teacher, 后面跟with结构表补充说明,谓语应该与最前面的主语,即the teacher一致,应用单数,又因事情发生在地震的时候,因此应该用过去进行时。
6. snacks and drinks, but they also brought cards for entertainment when they had a picnic in forest.
A. Not only they brought B. Not only did they bring
C. Not only brought they D. Not only they did bring
解析:答案为B。此题考查倒装句的用法not only…but等有否定意义的连词及副词位于句首,句子使用部分倒装,故选B。

二、精典名题导解
选择填空
1. _________ is a fact that English is being accepted as an international language. (NMET 1995)
A. There B. This C. That D. It
解析:答案为D。本题考查作形式主语的用法。that引导的从句是真正的主语。为避免头重脚轻而平衡句子结构,将it置于句首作形式主语。
2. I hope there are enough glasse for each guest to have ________. (NMET 1995)

解析:答案为D。本题考查替代词it和one的区别。it用于替代同类的、特定的、同一的事物;one替代同类的、泛指的人或物。根据题意“我希望有足够的杯子使每个客人有一个。”可知应用one泛指enough glasses中的一个。
3. Was __________ that I saw last night at the concert?
A. it you B. not you C. you D. that yourself

4. It was back home after the experiment.
A. not until midnight did he go B. until midnight that he didn’t go
C. not until midnight that he went D. until midnight when he didn’t go
解析:答案为C。此题考查的是not…until句型的强调结构,其最根本结构是:He did not go back home after the experiment.①,把①转变为Not until midnight did he go back home after the experiment.②,注意②中的倒装结构,把②中划线部分放在强调结构It be 被强调部分that…中进行强调,但注意that从句后面不用倒装形式。
