第12章代词
(含:it的特殊用法)
12-1代词是代替名词的词
[例] His camera is more expensive than _________.
A. hers B. her C.it D. its
答案是A.“他的像机比她的像机贵.”从句中的“hers”指“her camera”,代
替了主句中的名词“camera.
12-2英语的代词按照其不同的含义与作用可分为9类。人称代词、物主代词、反身代词、指示代词、相互代词、不定代词、疑问代词、连接代词和关系代词。
[例] Tom’s mother kept telling him that he should work harder, but________ didn't help.
答案是D。汤姆的母亲一再告诉汤姆他应该更加努力地学习,但这却没有丝毫的作用。It 为人称代词代替上文整个句子的内容,即:“母亲一再告诉汤姆应该努力学习”这件事。
[例] Tom felt that he knew everybody' business better than they knew it_______.
A. themselves B. oneself C. itself D. himself
答案是A。“汤姆觉得他比别人更了解他们自己的事。Themselves 是反身代词,作they的同位语。B、C、D在人称上与主语不一致,故排除。
[例] _______ of them knew about the plan because it was kept a secret.
A. Each B. Any C. No one D. None
答案是D。“他们中没有一个人知道这个计划,因为它是一个秘密。”A、B与句意不符,可排除。 No one不能与短语连用,故排除C.
[例] _______ writer is better known in China, Charles Dickens or Mark Twain
A. Which B. What C. Either D. Whether
答案是A。“在中国哪一位作家更出名,查理·狄更斯还是马克·吐温 ”这是一个由疑问代词引导的特殊疑问句,可排除C、D。而“what”表示“什么样的”,与句意不符排除B.
[例] In the dark street, there wasn't a single person _______ she could turn for help.
A. that B. who C. from whom D. to whom
答案是D。“在这漆黑的街上,连一个她可以求助帮忙的人都没有。”这是一个含有由“介词+关系代词”引导的定语从句的复合句,在定语从句中动词turn为不及物动词,得与介词to连用。whom为关系代词是介词“to”的宾语。
12-3人称代词主要是指人的代词。人称代词有人称、数和格的变化。
12-4主格代词常作主语、宾格代词常作动词或介词的宾语。
[例] Was_____ that I saw last night at the concert
A. it you B. not you C. you D. that yourself
答案是A。“昨天晚上我在音乐会上见到的人是你吗 ”这是强调句句型,其结构为“it + is/was +强调的部分+ that + …”。此句强调的是宾语故用宾格代词“you”表示。“it”为形式主语、不可省略。
[例] Neither _____ nor ______ liked the idea of going on foot.
A. him……me B. her….we
C. I them D. she….I
答案是D。“她和我都不喜欢步行去。”“Neither…nor""表示“既不…也不”作关联词用时,应连接相同的成份,此句应连接两个主语, 因此用主格代词,故排除A、B、C.
12-5在比较状语从句中,在不引起误解的前提下, 有时用宾格代词代替主格代词(尤其是其后跟有同位语all时)。
[例] He is taller than I (或me).他比我高。
He is taller than us all.他比我们都高。
注:若可能引起误解,就不能用宾格代替主格。如:
[例] He loves you more than I.他爱你胜过我爱你。
[例] He loves you more than me.他爱你胜过爱我。
12-6人称代词作表语时,口语中常用宾格
[例] —Who is it “是谁呀 ”
— It's me.“是我。”
注:“me”是第一人称的宾格,口语中使用。但注意若在强调句中,则常保持原来的形式,(尤其是有可能引起误解时)。如:
[例] It is he that teaches us. 是他教我们。
例] It is us that he teaches.他教的是我们。
12-7三个人称的代词同时出现时,其单数人称排列顺序一般 “2→3→1” (与汉语顺序“我、你、他”不同); 复数人称排列顺序一般为“1→2→3” (与汉语顺序相同:我们、你们、他们)。
[例] ______ all enjoy music
A. I, you and she B. She, you and I
C. You, she and I D: I, you and she
答案是C。“我、你、她都喜欢音乐。”
12-8常用she代替 country, ship, car, nature, moon等。有时用he/she 代替it指动物。
[例] The moon is shining brightly tonight. _______ is like a round silvery plate.
A. It B. He C. This D. She
答案是D。“今夜月光明亮, 她好像是一个银色的圆盘。
句中she指代 “moon”。
[例] The elephant is proud of himself, for ______has a big and strong body.
A. she B. he C. it D. that

12-9 it可作人称代词或起指示代词作用;也可作形式主语或形式宾语, 还可用于构成强调句型。
① it用作人称代词、代替前文提到过的事物。
[例] I was disappointed with the film. I have expected _______ to be much better.
A. that B. this C. one D. it
答案是D。“我对这部电影很失望。我原指望它要好得多。”that指上文所提到的事; this指下文要叙述的事;one泛指任何一个;it指上文中的名词“film”,故排除前三项。
② it用作形式宾语
[例] I don' 't think _______ possible to master a foreign language without much memory work.
A. this B. that C. its D. it
答案是D。“我认为没有大量的记忆工作是不可能掌握一门外语的。”由于宾补possible很短而不定式短语很长,故用it作形式宾语,把真正的宾语(不定式短语)置于宾补之后,避免头重脚轻。
③ it用作形式主语
[例]Is ______ possible to fly to the moon in a spaceship
A. now B. man C. that D. it
答案是D。“乘坐宇宙飞船飞往月球是可能的么 ”根据句意, 句子的真正主语是“to fly to the moon", 但由于短语太长,故用“it作其形式主语,故排除其他三项。
④ it用于强调句,其结构为:it is/was+被强调部分+ that…”
[例] It was not until 1920 ______ regular radio broadcasts began.
A. while B. which C. that D. since

⑤ it起指示代词的作用,指一个人或事物。
[例] ---who's there
----it's me. ________ else could _______ be
A. Who, it B. Who, I C. What, I D. Whose, it
答案是A。“是谁在那儿 ”“是我,还会是谁呢 ”“It”回答了“who”的问题作了主语。并提出的反问,意指“This is me, not others.
12-10物主代词分形容词性和名词性物主代词两种。多数名词性物主代词由“形容词性物主代词+s构成。
12-11形容词性物主代词作定语;名词性物主(=形容词性物主代词+名词) 代词作主语、宾语和表语。
[例] Is her hair shorter than _________
A. me B. I C. my D. mine
答案是D。“她的头发比我的头发短吗 mine= my hair.
12-12名词性物主代词在双重所有格中用于介词of之后。
① 用于“a (an, some, few) + 名词 + of +名词性物主代词”结构。表示部分、其中之一”
②用于this, that…+ of +名词性物主代词”结构,表示“一种感彩”
[例] Kate and her sister went on holiday with cousin of_______.
A. their B. theirs C. her D. hers
单答案是B。“凯特和她妹妹与她们的一位表兄一起去度假。”根据句意后应用名词性物主代词,可排除A,C,因为 their和her都为形容词性物主代词。另外,因主语是两个人,名词性物主代词应第三人称复数形式,故选B, theirs= their cousins.
12-13反身代词有人称和数的变化。第一、二人称同“形容词性物主代词+ selves”构成;第三人称由“宾格代词+self/ selves构成。
12-14反身代词常用作宾语、同位语、也可用作表语。
[例] Tom felt that he knew everybody's business better than they knew it ________.
A. themselves B. oneself
C. itself D. himself

A. myself B. ourselves
C. themselves D. himself
答案是A。“就我个人而言,可以说是我一处中最重要的一课。”此句中“for”是介词,后跟反身代词作宾语。由于主语是第一人称单数, 故排除B、O、D
12-15“介词by/for/of/to+反身代词结构的用法区别
① by oneself单独、独自
