句法
一、 主 要 句 式
? (一) 知识概要
?初中所学的句型一般要分为陈述句、疑问句、祈使句和感叹句。?陈述句中有肯定句与否定句之分。其中可以分为以下五种:① 主语+不及物动词。如:I arrived at six last night.② 主语+及物动词+宾语,如:I bought a good English?Chinese Dictionary yesterday.③ 主语+及物动词+间接宾语+直接宾语,如:Please tell me a story before I go to bed. 这样可加双宾语的句子有buy,tell, give, ask, pass, teach.④ 主语+及物动词+宾语+宾语补足语,如:I found it impossible to do it. Please keep the classroom clean and tidy.⑤ 主语+系动词+表语,如:Tom is an American boy. The grass turned green in spring.在初中常见的句型中有There be…句型,表示存在某种事物,如:There is a map on the wall?其be动词的形式要与其后面相近的那个名词相一致。要注意的是这种句型加入助动词后,也要保持be动词,不要换用have,如:There is going to be a meeting tomorrow.?在句子结构中要注意主谓一致的问题,即句子的主语与谓语动词要相呼应。要注意的有如下几点:① 用and连接两个主语时一般应视为复数,但如一人身兼两职时则要用单数谓语动词形式,如:A singer and dancer is coming to our party. a singer and dancer 既歌唱又可舞的演员。而 a singer and a dancer 则要译为:一位歌唱家和一位舞蹈家。②有些以 s 结尾的名词谓语动词要用单数,如: The news is good (news 为不可数名词)。③ 有量词时应按量词的数量计算;如: This pair of glasses is good? My glasses are broken. ④有些形单却意为复数的名词,如: People are coming here? 这样的词还有 Police, 如果要讲一个警察时,应讲 a policeman。 两个警察为 two policemen。 又如 a policewoman, two policewomen? ⑤ 所有不定代词 each, either, neither, one, the other, nobody, nothing, anyone, anything, someone, something … 要作为单数如: Someone is waiting for you??在并列句中表示联合关系的连词有: and not only … but also, neither … nor, either … or? 如: My sister and my parents are going to the cinema。 表示转折关系的并列连词有: but 和 yet, 如: She is a good student, but she didn't pass the final exam. 又如: I think the news is strange, yet it is true? 表示选择关系的连词有:or, either … or,如: Hurry up, or you will be late for school? 表示因果关系的并列连词有: for, so 如: They studied very hard, so they all passed the exam??在初中范围复合句中主要有状语从句和宾语从句(名词性从句)两种,而定语从句(形容词性从句)要在高中讲述,为了使同学阅读文章方便,我们将在下面另一章予以介绍。我们首先来看宾语从句。① 在及物动词的后面可以接一个名词来充当宾语,如: I knew the man, 而这时也可以用一个句子来充当宾语,如: I knew that he was a good man? 这时宾语从句的连接词有 that, (that 只在从句中起联接作用,不在句中充当语法成分,既不是主语也不是宾语,所以在口语中常常被省略。如: I am sure (that) she has passed the exam? ②if, whether 它们在宾语从句中只起连接作用,不起语法作用,当作是否讲。从句中有 or not 结构时,要用 whether, 如: I ask him if (whether) he has had his lunch? I asks him whether he has had his lunch or not? ③ what 它在宾语从句中除了作连接词外,还要作主语或宾语成份,如: I don't understand what you said? (what 作 said 的宾语)。又如: I asked him what made him sick (what 在宾语从句中作主语)。④ who,它也和what一样,在句中除作连接词外,可以充当句中的成份,如:I know who she is looking for ⑤ whose 如: I want to know whose book this is ⑥ which 如: Do you know which book is mine ?在连接词中还有4个常用的连接副词,① how 它的应用最广,如: how much, how many, how long, how soon, how old …。如: How much does it cost ② when 它只是连接时间状语,如: Please tell me when the meeting will begin ③ where 它连接地点状语,如: Where are you from ④ why 它要连接的是原因状语从句,如: The teacher asked why Tom didn't come to school. 在考试中常见到的考点是:?宾语从句的时态与主句时态的呼应问题。① 主句谓语动词如果是现在时或将来时,宾语从句的时态可以是任何所需要的时态, 如: I know he didn't come. 我知道他没来。 I know he will come tomorrow? 我知道他明天来。I know he has gone to London? 我知道他已去伦敦了。 ② 主句中的谓语动词若是过去时,宾语从句也要用过去时态中的某一种。比如: 一般过去时,过去进行时,过去将来时,过去完成时。除了在表达宇宙中的客观真理时,不能用现在时态。如: I wanted to know when he would come? The teacher told me the earth moves around the sun??状语从句主要有时间状语从句,其连接词有:after, before, when, as, as soon as, until (till), while, since, by?其中较难掌握的有以下几点:?① until (till) 直到,在用 until 表达时间状语的句子中,主句中的动词是要十分小心去选择。如动词是持续性动词,它要用肯定句,如: I studied hard until 12 o'clock last night. 如果动词是瞬间截止性动词,则要用否定句,如: He didn't go to bed until his mother came back? ?② 由?since, for, by, before 来引导的时间状语从句。 since 引导的时间状语是动作的开始时间,如: I have studied English since 1990? 而由 by 引导的时间状语通常是动作的结束时间,如: I had learned 25 English songs by the end of last term? 而before 则多用于完成时, ago 则多用于一般过去时,如: He had finished his work before twelve yesterday? I left my hometown two years ago? ③ 在状语从句中用一般现在时或一般过去时表示将来。它们可能是主句用一般将来时,从句用一般现在时,如: If it rains, they won't go to the park on Sunday? 也可以主句是一般过去时,从句用一般过去进行时,如: He said if it rained the next day he would not go to the park? 考试中常见的考点有:要学生区别是条件、时间状语从句还是宾语从句,因在宾语从句中该用什么时态用什么时态,如: I want to know if he will come here tomorrow? 在宾语从句中的条件状语从句与主句的关系,如: I want to know if it rains he will come here tomorrow??在原因状语从句中主要是① because, 应译为"因为"。它表达的因果关系最强,如: He didn't pass the exam because he didn't study hard? ② since 应译为"既然",如: Since you were ill yesterday? I left some notes on your desk? ③ as 应译为"由于",如: As it is too hot we'd better go swimming? since 与 as 所表达的因果关系远比 because 弱得多。而 for 表达的因果关系最弱。它不能用于句首,如: He studies hard, for he wants to go to college??在比较状语从句中有同级比较 as … as, 如: This book is as good as that one? 要注意的有两点:① as … as 中间要用原级而不是比较级。② 用形容词还是副词,如: Mary writes as carefully as Tom? 而其否定句为 not as (so) … as, 如: They didn't work so hard as we did, 而不同级比较用比较级加 than, 如: He is younger than I am? 要注意的是表示"越来越"这一概念时有两个句型:① 比较级+and+比较级,如: The days are getting longer and longer? The little girl is becoming more and more beautiful? ② 定冠词 the + 比较级+ the + 比较级,如: The harder you study, the more you can learn??方式状语中要注意的是as (连词)与 like (介词)的区别。 as 作为连词其后接从句,如: Please do it as I did it? 但后面的句子常作省略,如: Please do it as I? 而 like 是介词,其后要接的是宾语,如: Please do it like me??结果和目的状语从句主要有 so … that, so that, in order that等几种用法。① so … that 用在单数可数名词前,so + 形容词 + a + 名词 + that,如: She is so beautiful a girl that everyone likes her? 或用 such + a + 形容词 + 名词 + that, 如: She is such a beautiful girl that everyone likes her? ② 在不可数名词或可数名词复数前只能用 such, 如: It is such good weather we want to go for a picnic? 又如: They are such good players that they should win the game. ③ 在much, many, few, little 之前只能用so, 如: I have so little money that I can't buy it? ④ so … that 之间只有形容词时,则不能用 such, 如: It is so good that I want to buy? ⑤ so that 其后接从句,如: I got up earlier so that I could catch the first bus???
(二) 正误辨析 ?
[误] The stories in that book was written many years ago? ?
[正] The stories in that book were written many years ago. ?
[析] 作主语的名词、代词或不定式、动名词,它们往往要带有修饰词,这些词可能是形容词,也可能是短语,但谓语动词还是要取决于这个主语的数,要记住的是一个名词不可能在同一句中作两个不同的语法成份,如: book 作了 of 的介词宾语则不可能再作主语了。?
[误] To read many books are good for you? ?
[正] To read many books is good for you? ?
[析] 不定式作主语应该看作单数主语。 ?
[误] What he said are right? ?
[正] What he said is right? ?
[析] 从句作主语一定要按单数主语看待。 ?
[正] The rich is not always happy? ?
[误] The rich are not always happy? ?
[析] 形容词+定冠词表示一类人,谓语动词应用复数,如: The young are very interested in study and sports??
[误] The school master and writer are coming? ?
[正] The school master and writer is coming? ?
[析] 本句应译为:校长兼作家就要来了。而 The school master and the writer are coming? 则要译为:校长和一个作家要来了。在英语表达法中确实有 The girl and boy are playing on the grass? 这应译为:一个女孩,一个男孩在操场上玩。因为不可能这样两个概念作用在一个人身上。又如: the husband and wife? 夫妻二人。?
[误] You or she go to get some water for us? ?
[正] You or she goes to get some water for us? ?
[析] 由 or 连接的两个主语应以离谓语动词近的那一个计算其数。这样的用法还有 either … or,neither … nor, not only … but also 也有人称作"就近原则"。?
[误] The teacher with a lot of students come into the classroom? ?
[正] The teacher with a lot of students comes into the classroom? ?
[析] 真正的主语是 the teacher, 而 with 短语是伴随状态,不影响主语的数。?
[误] My glasses is broken? ?
[正] My glasses are broken? ?
[误] This pair of glasses are good? ?
[正] This pair of glasses is good? ?
[误] These kinds of butter is good.?
[正] These kinds of butter are good??
[析] 英语中有些名词只有复数形式,如: glasses 眼镜, shorts 短裤等。如没有量词在前时,要用复数谓语动词,但有了量词之后则要按量词的单复数计算。?
[误] One of the boys are going to take part in the match? ?
[正] One of the boys is going to take part in the match? ?
[析] One of 结构应以 one 来计算主语的数。 ?
[误] Half of the work are done? ?
[正] Half of the work is done? ?
[误] Half of the books is read? ?
[正] Half of the books are read? ?
[析] 在小于1的数量词作主语时,如: 2 3 ,80%,0.35… + of +名词,这时主语的数应按 of 后面的名词计算。如果名词是不可数名词或可数名词单数,则谓语动词要用单数,如名词是复数则要用复数谓语动词。?
[误] Each sides are full of trees? ?
[正] Each side is full of trees? ?
[误] Both side is full of trees? ?
[正] Both sides are full of trees? ?
[析] each, either 其后都要加单数名词,而 both 后要加复数名词。 如: each, either, another, little, a little, much等作主语时,谓语动词全部要用单数形式。?
[误] The boys each has an apple? ?
[正] The boys each have an apple? ?
[析] each 作同位语时,不影响句子的主语。?
[误] Everyone of us has a ticket for the concert? ?
[正] Every one of us has a ticket for the concert? ?
[析] everyone, someone, everybody … 在作主语时都不能加 of 结构。
[误] Girls like dancing very much, but few likes playing football? ?
[正] Girls like dancing very much, but few like playing football? ?
[析] few 虽然含意上是"几乎没有",但作主语时仍要当作复数。?
[误] The number of the workers in that factory are two hundred? ?
[正] The number of the workers in that factory is two hundred? ?
[析] the number of 意为:某某的数字是…… 如: the number of students 学生人数, the number of players 运动员人数。不论数字如何都应看作单数。而 a number of 与 many 意思相同,其后加可数名词复数,谓语动词用复数形式。如: A number of students are playing on the grass??
[误] The rest of the students is here? ?
[正] The rest of the students are here? ?
[误] The rest of the work are done? ?
[正] The rest of the work is done? ?
[析] the rest of 的用法与2/3,一半,80%+ of 的结构一致, of 后面为可数名词复数时用复数谓语动词,为不可数名词或可数名词单数时用单数谓语动词。这样用法还有 lots of, a lot of, plenty of。?
[误] The news in today's newspaper are not bad? ?
[正] The news in today's newspaper is not bad? ?
[析] 有些以 s 结尾的名词要用作不可数名词,它们是:news, physics, mathematics, thanks, …?
[误] The Chinese is kind and friendly? ?
[正] The Chinese are kind and friendly? ?
[析] Chinese 作为中文来讲是单数名词,但作为中国人讲是单复同形的名词。如: one Chinese, two Chinese … 而 The Chinese = The people of China 要用复数谓语动词。
[误] This dictionary is too expensive for me? Ten dollars are a big sum for me
[正] This dictionary is too expensive for me? Ten dollars is a big sum for me
[析] 表示一段时间,一笔金钱,一段距离,都应看作单数名词。?
[误] Who are going to take part in our football match ?
[正] Who is going to take part in our football match ?
[析] 用 who 提问时,习惯上用单数谓语动词,但 which 则要视其情况而定,如: which are better these shoeses or those shoes 又如: which is better this one or that one
[误] What a hot weather it is! ?
[误] How hot the weather it is! ?
[正] What hot weather it is! ?
[正] How hot the weather is! ?
[析] 感叹句是用来表达说话人的喜怒哀乐的感情。它由 what 与 how 作句子的开始,判定是用 what 还是用 how 的最好办法是将它们换为陈述句,比如: What the hot weather it is! 应转换为: It is the hot weather? 那么句子的起点是单词 it。 再来看感叹句中 it 前有不可数名词 weather, 则只能用 what。 再看第二句 How hot the weather is! 转为陈述句时为: The weather is hot?这时句子的开始单词为 the weather, 再来看感叹句在 the weather 前只有形容词,所以应用 how。 至于是用 what a 还是 what 要看名词的具体情况而定,单数可数名词加 what a 其余的加用 what。?
[误] We have to sing this, have we ?
[误] We have to sing this, haven't we ?
[正] We have to sing this, don't we ?
[析] 在反意疑问句中除了标准的一些常规外,有一些例外:
?Let's go home, shall we
Let us go home, will you ?
She had to leave, didn't she ?
Do your homework at once, will you ?
There is not much good news in today's newspaper, is there ?
Neither of them are right, are they ?
I think he will come to the party won't he ?
think 后的宾语从句,与其他宾语从句不一样,在初中只有这样一个较特殊的词。这样的句子的反意疑问句的主语要用宾语从句中的主语,其助动词要用宾语从句的助动词,而肯定还是否定要看主句谓语动词而定,如: I don't think he is coming to our party, is he ?
[误] I want to know where does he live? ?
[正] I want to know where he lives? ?
[析] 宾语从句中一律要用陈述语序,而不用疑问语序。?
[误] - I haven't got a ticket for the football match?
- Nor I have? ?
[正] - I haven't got a ticket for the football match?
- Nor (Neither) have I? ?
[析] nor, neither 用在简答否定句中时要采用倒装语序。在肯定句的简答句中则要用so, 如: I do my homework very quickly, So does Mary??
[误] Look! Here the bus comes! ?
[正] Look! Here comes the bus! ?
[误] Look! Here comes he! ?
[正] Look! Here he comes? ?
[析] 在 there, here 打头的句子中,如果主语是名词,则要采用倒装语序;如果是人称代词则用一般语序。?
[误] Do you want Mary to go to the cinema with us
No, I don't hope so? ?
[正] Do you want Mary to go to the cinema with us
No, I hope not? ?
[析] 我不这样想,可用 I don't think so? 但 hope 的否定简答句只能用 I hope not? 这是习惯用法。但这两个词的肯定简答句形是一样的,如: I think so. I hope so??
[误] That is difficult for us to learn English well? ?
[正] It is difficult for us to learn English well? ?
[析] It 这里的语法作用是形式主语,而真正的主语是后面的不定式。形式主语和形式宾语都要用 it 而不能用 that, 如: I think it difficult to learn English well? it 在这句中是 think 的形式宾语。??

定语从句并不属于中考范围,但由于作者在多年的教学中体会到,这一语法现象影响了许多学生自学英语。这些学生一般是成绩较好的学生,想进行大量阅读来提高自己的英语水平,但总是碰到一些问题,百思不得其解。苦于自己的水平只限于初中水平,无法提高,但各种补习班又都是为一些水平较差的学生开设的,所以又投师无门。为了解决这部分学生的学习困难,也为那些有志青年铺平学习上的道路,特用这一节讲述定语从句,不是从语法上讲述,而是从阅读理解方面去讲述。可供同学们在学习时参考。这会对你的英语学习起到事半功倍的作用。?对于形容词我们已十分熟悉了,如: a good book, 形容词 good 用来修饰书 book。 我们也可以用一个句子来修饰名词,这种句子叫做形容词性从句,它起修饰名词的作用,又被叫做定语从句(The attributive clause)。但有一点不同的是这个从句不是像形容词那样放于名词前,而是放在名词之后。它所修饰的名词又被叫作先行词,如: Do you know the scientist who gave us the talk this afternoon 这句中的主句是 Do you know the scientist (你知道那位科学家吗 )而 who gave us the talk this afternoon (他今天下午给我们作的报告。)是定语从句。所以这两句话合为一体即是:你认识今天下午给我们作报告的那位科学家吗 这里 scientist 叫作先行词,而 who 叫作定语从句的引导词。 who 在定语从句中起主语的作用, who 的数与它的先行词相同。又如: You must do everything that I do? 这里先行词是 everything, 而 that I do 是定语从句,此句应译为:你必须作我所作的一切。 that 叫作定语从句的引导词,在句中作 do 的宾语。?引导定语从句的引导词有关系代词: that, which, who, whom, whose 和关系副词 when, where, why, how。不论关系代词还是关系副词,都应放于先行词和定语从句之间,起联系作用,但它们都要在定语从句中起语法作用,充当一个成份。如关系代词在定语从句中不是作主语便是作宾语,而关系副词则是作状语。我们先来看关系代词的用法。① that 的先行词可以是人也可以是物。如: A plane is a machine that can fly? 这里先行词是 machine 而 that 是关系代词,在定语从句中作主语。这句译为:飞机是一种会飞的机器。又如: I like the book (that) you lent me yesterday? 这里先行词是 book, 关系代词用 that, 它在定语从句中作 lend (借)的宾语。要注意的是关系代词在定语从句中作宾语时可以省略,即: I like the book you lent me yesterday?② which 关系代词的先行词只能是物。它在定语从句中作主语或宾语,如: The book shop is a shop which sells books? 这里 shop 是先行词, which 在从句中作主语。又如: The book (which) I read last night was wonderful? 这里主句是 The book was wonderful? 而定语从句是修饰主句的主语 book, 即我昨晚读的那本书,which 在定语从句中作 read 的宾语,可以省略。?③ who, whom, whose? who 在定语从句中作主语, whom 是 who 的宾格,在定语从句中作宾语,而 whose 则是形容词性物主代词,在从句中作定语,如:The man who visited our school yesterday is an American friend? 昨天参观我们学校的人是一位美国朋友。 Who 在定语从句中作主语。又如: Who's that woman (whom) you just talked to 你刚才与之谈话的那个女人是谁 而 whom 作定语从句中介词 to 的宾语,可以省略,而在现代英语中,句首的 whom 也常常可用 who代替。?This is our classmate, Mary, whose home is not far from our school? 这是我们的同学玛丽,她的家离我们学校不远。?为了便于理解,我们来看看是如何将两句话并为一句话的。?
1. I saw the man.? He closed the door?
I saw the man who (that) closed the door?
2. The girl is happy? She won the race?
The girl who won the race is happy?
3. The students are from China? They sit in the front row?
The students who sit in the front row are from China?
(要注意的是先行词是 students 则 who 的数也应看作复数。)?
4. We are studying sentences? They contain adjective dause?
We are studying sentences that (which) contain adjective dause? ?
5. The taxi driver was friendly? He took me to the airport?
The taxi driver who took me to the airport was friendly? ?
6. The book was good? I read it?

10. I have to call the man? I picked up his umbrella after the meeting?
I have to call the man whose umbrella I picked up after the meeting?
关系代词 whom, which 在定语从句中作介词宾语时,可以和介词一起放于先行词与定语从句之间,有时为了关系紧凑也可以将 whom 与 which 与先行词紧挨着书写,而将介词置于定语从句的后面,如:
That was the room in which we had lived for ten years? 或可以写作:
That was the room which we had lived in for ten years??
He was the man whom(who) you were looking for? 要注意的是此句的关系代词 whom 可以用主格取代,而 look for 是短语动词也不可将 for 放于定语从句之前。that 作关系代词作介词宾语时,不能紧跟介词,而只能将介词置于定语从句的后面。如: The man that we were talking about has come to our school? 这时不可用 about that … 请看下面例句:?
1. The meeting was interesting? I went to it?
The meeting that I went to was interesting? ?
2. The man was very kind? I talked to him yesterday?
The man who I talked to yesterday was very kind?
3. I must thank the people? I got a present from him?
I must thank the people who I got a present from?
4. The picture was beautiful? She was looking at it?
The picture that (which) she was looking at was beautiful?
5. The man is standing over there? I told you about him?
The man who I told you about is standing over there?
?
除关系代词外,还有关系副词, when, where, why, 其中 when用来指时间,在定语从句中作时间状语。如: I never forget the day when I first came to the Great Wall? 而 where 则指地点,如: This is the house where the old man lives? 请看下面例句:
1. The city was beautiful? We spent our vacation there?
The city where we spent our vacation was beautiful?
?

?
6. 7∶05 is the time My plane arrives then?
7∶05 is the time when my plane arrives?
?
7. 1960 is the year? The revolution took place then?
1960 is the year when the revolution took place?
?
8. July is the month? The weather is usually the hottest then?
July is the month when the weather is usually the hottest? ?
在定语从句中又可分为两大类定语从句,即限制性定语从句和非限制性定语从句。?
① 限制性定语从句是先行词在意义上不可缺少的定语,如果去掉的话,主句的意思就不完整,意义就表述不明。这种句型一般定语从句紧接先行词,如:?I was the only person in my office who was invited??
② 非限制性定语从句。它与主句的关系不十分密切,只是对其附加说明,也就是讲即便去掉定语从句,句意也不受影响,仍然清晰明了。这样的定语从句要在它和主句之间加一逗号分开。且关系代词不引导这种非限制性定语从句,如: Abraham Lincoln, who led the United States through these years, was shot on April 14, 1865 at a theatre in washington? D. C. 又如:Galileo lived in the city of Pisa, where there is a leaning tower about 180 feet high???
(二) 正误辨析 ?
[误] I won't tell you the name of the person who teach me English? ?
[正] I won't tell you the name of the person who teaches me English? ?
[析] 在定语从句中,关系代词作主语时,从它本身看不出其数的形式,这时要由它的先行词决定。这里who 应由 the person 单数决定,应该用单数谓语动词。又如:I who am a student? want to find a spare time job?这里的 who 应与 I 是一致的,所以其谓语动词应该用am。?
[误] We talked about the things and the people who we met during the Second World War? ?
[正] We talked about the things and the people that we met during the Second World War? ?
[析] 这里的关系代词不要用 who, 因为其先行词有两个一个是 things (物),而另一个是people (人),这时既不可用 who, 又不可用 which, 因前者只能用于先行词是人的情况下,而后者则用于先行词是物的情况下,所以只能用 that, 因为它的先行词既可以是人又可以是物。?
[误] The book, that I bought yesterday, was very good?
[正] The book, which I bought yesterday, was very good? ?
[析] 先行词与定语从句被逗号分割开来时,即作为非限制性定语从句。在非限制性定语从句中 which, when, who, whom, where, when, whose 等都可以和限制性定语从句中的作用一样,而独有 that 不易用于非限制性定语从句。?
[误] The dictionary which I lent it yesterday is a very useful tool? ?
[正] The dictionary which I lent yesterday is a very useful tool? ?
[析] 关系代词在定语从句中是要起语法作用的,它不是作主语就是作宾语。虽然在作宾语时它的位置由原来的宾语位置移到了句首,但它的作用依然存在,而且在原宾语位置上不能再出现宾语。?
[误] The teacher I want to learn English from is the one which comes from America
[正] The teacher I want to learn English from is the one who comes from America
[析] the one, anyone, those 作代词并且是指某人、物时,其关系代词不能用 which 应用 who。?
[误] This is the room in that the old man lives? ?
[正] This is the room in which the old man lives? ?
[正] This is the room which the old man lives in? ?
[正] This is the room that the old man lives in? ?
[析] that 不能紧跟在介词后作介词宾语,但如果介词不前置仍放于句尾,则可用 that 作引导词,而且可以省略。如: This is the room the old man lives in??
[误] I can do everything which is good for you? ?
[正] I can do everything that is good for you? ?
[析] 在先行词是 all, much, little, something, everything, anything, nothing, none, the one 等不定代词时,虽然它们指的是物体,但不要用 which 而用 that 作定语从句的引导词。?
[误] The only thing which the students can do is studying hard? ?
[正] The only thing that the students can do is studying hard? ?
[析] 在先行词前有 only, any, few, little, no, all, one of 等词修饰时,虽然先行词指的是物,也不要用 which 作关系代词,而要用 that。?
[误] This is the first American film which I've ever seen? ?
[正] This is the first American film that I've ever seen? ?
[析] 在先行词是序数词,或由序数词修饰时,其关系代词不可用 which? 这样的用法还有在形容词最高级修饰的先行词之后,如: This is the best book that I have ever seen
[误] He is from Africa, that we can see from the colour of the skin? ?
[正] He is from Africa, as we can see from the colour of the skin? ?
[析] 当 as 或 which 引导非限制性定语从句时,它可能没有明确的先行词,它们所指代的是前面整个句子。如例题应译为他是从非洲来这个事情是可以从其肤色上看出的。?
三 、 完形填空与阅读
?
(一) 知识概要 ?
完形填空是一种在语意封闭的情况下考察学生阅读能力及掌握语言基础知识能力的综合性题目。?学生应根据语义完整、语法正确的原则进行通篇阅读。借助文章的现成文字,通过逻辑思维,联系上下文,推断出可能的答案。然后再从所给选择答案中逐空选出在通读全文时脑海中已出现的答案填入空内。试推想在小学五六年级时去读"西游记","水浒传",你也并非每个字都认得,每句话都能真正理解。但你还是可以明了全文的意思,读得有滋有味。这就是语言能力。所以完形填空考查的就是你能否在缺字,不认得字、词语的情况下,能否全面理解文章的正确意思,然后选入适当的词语。在选择后还要前后彼此呼应反复验证所选答案。有时答案一时不易验证,不要急于顺序填写,可能在填出后面答案时,而得到前面的答案。有时则需运用所学的词法、句法、时态和固定搭配等知识对4个选项进行分析,比较、排除干扰项,确定正确的答案。?待答案全部选定后,一定要复读全文以验证:① 所选答案是否能使全文流畅,逻辑推理是否正确。② 具体实事是否成立,前后关系是否理顺。③ 语法是否正确,其中包括时态的选择、词汇选择、固定搭配等。在通读全文时最好在可能的条件下将所选答案填入文章中,反复阅读。而不要在文章空中只写选项的代号,这样影响全文的理解,不易找出错误之处。在做完形填空时,应注意以下几点:?
(1) 重视首句,首段的开篇启示作用,读懂了第一句,或第一段有可能预测到全篇大意。
(2) 一定要顾及上下文间的语意联系。在完形填空的设计中,一般是以语义为第一要素同时兼顾语法。有的4个选项单独填入这个单句中全是正确的,但拿到文中从下文联系起来看,则文理不通。为此要通篇考虑,顾及上下文的联系是十分重要的。?
(3) 要坚持语意第一的原则,而语法应放于第二位。完形填空形式上是一种单项选择式的考察。但实质上也是一种阅读能力和学生重建文意能力的考察。它一般是利用语法的正确性与内容排斥性的矛盾而命题的。所给答案大都是离开上下文均可说得通的。但语意上辩析、排斥才能找到答案。例如:?
It took Charlie Mui several months to save up seven dollars? He wanted to ______ a model plane and went to the shop with the money??
A? sell B? buy C? hold D? bring?
这里肯定需要一个动词,所给答案也都是动词,但只能从意义上考虑而选B项。?
(4) 要认真注意细节,做到语法正确。一些答案在意义上讲都是正确的,但从线索上看要找出语法正确的答案。如:?
Mr Evans is an old man of about sixty? His wife died a few years ago? His chi
ldren ______ him by then.?
A? left B? would leave C? have left D? had left?
答案应为D。这句话正确的语意都是"离开",但仔细发现有 by then 之说,由此可得出这是个动作的截止时间,应选为 had left 过去完成时态。?下面再看一些例子。?
(1) 语意第一原则?
A young father was visiting an old neighbour? They were standing in the old man's garden? and talking about ______ .?
A? trees B? flowers C? children D? old people?
那么他们谈论的中心是什么呢 可能是树、花,由于他们是在花园里谈论。但如果前后的段落配合看,则其谈论的也可能是孩子和老年人。这就是要求我们切勿望文生义。?
(2) 语法正确,注意细节的原则?
在语意正确的前题下,还要根据学过的语法知识,及词语的固定搭配,选择正确答案。?如:
One night the dog began to bark suddenly? It made Mr Erens ? ______ ①______ ? to sleep? He had to get up and tried his ?______ ② ______ ? to stop it, but the beast wouldn't stop, and kept on ?______ ③ ______ ???
① A? go not B? not go C? not to go D? to not go?
② A? well B? good C? better D? best?
③ A? bark B? to bark C? barking D? barked?
以上3个小题中所给答案从语意上都是正确的,这就要求选择语法正确的那一个。?第一空中根据句子结构,要填一个宾语补足语。而动词 make 后面的定语补足语应省去不定式符号 to, 且其否定式 + not,即不定式的否定式为 not to do, 而省去 to 后则应为 not do. 在动词前直接+ not?故应选B。?而第二个空显然是一个固定搭配。语意上为: Mr? Erens 尽力地阻止狗叫,所以应选D。 try one's best 是尽力而为之意。?第三个空显然是 keep on doing something 连续不断之意,应选 ing 的动词形式。其答案为C。?
(3) 根据所给答案的不同词类,从不同角度分别考虑选择?
完形填空所给的词往往是不同类的,这就要求对不同词类作不同考虑。如果所缺的是动词,那么首先在选择语意正确的前提下,考虑动词的时态、语态和是否是要填入非谓语动词。若是介词或副词则要考虑是否固定搭配,以及介词、副词在结构和意义上的选择。若是连词,则应更多地从句子结构和上下文的连接上选择。若是代词,则应考虑性、数、格等方面,以及形容词和副词的比较级和最高级等。?
例如: A man and his wife had a small bar near a station? They often worked late into the night, ?______ ① ______ ? people came to drink there while they were ? ______ ② ______ ? trains??At two o'clock one morning, one man was still at a table in the small bar? He was asleep? The bar man's wife wanted to leave? She looked ?______ ③ ______? the bar several times, and each time the man was ? ______ ④ ______ ? there? Then at last she went to her husband and said to him, "You ? ______ ⑤ ______ ? that man six times, George ,
? ______ ⑥ ______? he isn't drinking anything?"?
① A? as soon as B? because C? so D? though ?
② A? catching up with B? getting on C? looking after D? waiting for ?
③ A? at B? for C? into D? out of ?
④ A? always B? often C? still D? already ?
⑤ A? have woken B? wake C? had woken D? will wake ?
⑥ A? and B? but C? yet D? too ?
从文中看,第一选项,由于给了不同的连词,从意义选择应为B。第二选项均为分词形式,也应从语意上选择,其答案是D。 第三选项给了四个介词,而 into 则是从外向里观看,所以应选C。第四项是副词 still 意为仍然,从意义上应选择C。 而第五项所给的是同个动词,只是时态不同。从故事情景看,只能选完成时态A。 而最后一个选项是连词,由于句意则只能用 but 转折连词。?
从目前完形填空初中阶段的考察看,除语意第一外,更多地选择了单词的用法及意义,动词的时态,短语和惯用法等。为此,要做好完形填空题目,除有较好的阅读能力外,更要有扎实的语言基础知识及日常生活的逻辑推理能力。?阅读理解能力在教学大纲中有明确的要求。它是目前条件下考查学生英语运用能力的常规题型之一,也是分值最高的题型之一。学生的阅读理解能力如何,标志着学生继续深入学习的潜力有多大,它是集语法,词汇,逻辑推理背景知识于一体的综合语言能力的测试。它除对学生的阅读理解的正确性进行测试外,同时从阅读速度、技巧、文化背景常识等方面对学生进行测试。?从近年各地中考题分析看,阅读类测试除为一般常规测试题型外,在试题中所占分值较大,为此应引起学生特别注意。?如何做好阅读理解题呢 首先要求考生有足够的基础知识和较好的阅读速度以及技巧方面的训练。同时还要注意以下几个方面的问题。?
1? 要了解阅读测试的重点?
如上所述,阅读过程是一个综合作用的过程,为此阅读的测试就不能仅将着眼点放在语言结构的测试上,而是通过看,通过阅读获取信息的能力。?在阅读一篇文章时,我们首先会想到:① 文章说的是什么事情(即中心思想是什么)。② 事情发生的时间、地点、人物是什么。③ 作者所持态度如何。④ 结论是什么。?有些说明性信息在文章中容易获取,如:时间、数字、地点、人物等。有些信息如作者的态度,事件的结论,中心思想,文章的标题,则需通过文中线索,说明信息等等去分析推断才能获取。而这些说明性及内隐性的信息正是阅读理解的测试重点内容。而其难点在于理解、推断、得出结论时,应从英语国家的风俗习惯、语言习惯、宗教信仰、民族问题等方面来考虑,而不是仅从中国人的语言习惯来作推论。这也是这方面的难点之一。?
例: John drove a taxi through the busy streets of Boston every day? John was ?____________
A? a manager B? a driver C? a policeman D? a dustman ?
由此我们应能由drive a taxi 来得出结论约翰是位出租车司机而不是别的什么人。?
例:Mrs Barker's sister was ill? She had someone to look after her from Monday to Friday, but not at the weekend, so every Friday evening Mrs Baker used to go off to spend the weekend at her home in a neighboring town…?This meant that Mr? Baker … First he had to drive home from the station? Then he had to drive his wife to the station to catch her train??Who was ill ____________ ??
A? Mr?Baker B? Mrs Baker?
C? Mr? Baker's sister D? Mrs Baker's sister?
从这些只言片语中可以看出有三个人物出场,而问题的设计是表浅的,只要细心即可。?
[答案] D.?
从中考阅读命题中,由于考虑到考生的能力有限,和大部分学生毕业的要求,语言结构的测试占很大一部分比重。但对于要考入重点中学的学生来讲,仅仅几分较高要求的题目可能会决定他们的升学命运。因为这一部分分值是往往使学生棘手的那些隐性问题的测试。如:?
Like many other families in 1870, Katie Olson and her family had come to the grassy plains of Kansas? Katie liked the prairie and their new sold house? But with no friends to play with, she was very lonely? Besides her mother and father, she had only her little brother, Matt, for company? She missed their old home in Wisconsir? ?Then one day her father had exciting news? Some settlers had bought the farm near the Olson's land? Katie became so excited on hearing the news that she thought she might burst? She begged her father to let her ride over with him to greet their new neighbors??The two rode across the prairie? They found Mr? and Mrs Laski were hard at working building their sod home? Katie was disappointed? She had hoped there would be some children to play with? But soon Mr Laski called out?" Anna, and Carl, come out of the wagon?" A boy and a girl? jumped down and came over to Katie? Katie didn't believe it? Her wish had come true??
1? Who was the most important person in the story
A? Matt B? Katie C? Mr Laski D? Anna and Carl ?
2? What was Katie's problem in the story
A? She had no friend. B? She didn't like Kansas.
C? She couldn't ride a horse. D? She didn't like Anna and Carl. ?
从上文中看,信息的获得不是直接的,而是必须通过整个文章的阅读,理清人物关系,掌握中心思想,才能作出正确的判定。如第一问故事中人物众多,但一直到读完才知,故事讲述了一个女孩Katie的事情。则她是故事的中心,所以应选择B? 第二问是测试通过阅读是否了解了人物的心理情绪。这些信息必须通过线索,综合判定,从而其结论是A。?
2? 阅读理解的解题思路和方法?www.2xxyy.com 江苏省中小学英语教学提供
阅读理解的测试点是在通过由于阅读所能够获取信息的能力上,所以解题思路的重点应放在:
(1) 通读全文,了解文章的主题和大意;了解作者的写作目的、对事件的态度上。?
People sometimes change their way of doing business? In a village in Africa, people are using money for the first time? They're doing business with the world? ?Before this tribe (部落) used money, people came to the market in the village to trade (交易) things they had for things they needed? Now people must use money to buy what they want??Before using money, people helped one another? Their father who was head of the family, gave food, and clothing to his sons and their families? In return, the sons worked for their father? Now people no longer work for one another free? Instead, they are paid for the work they do??When a new road was needed. Everyone in the village helped build it, Now people must pay money to the village chief (首领) for roads and schools? The chief hires workers to build these new projects? More and better roads and schools are being built?It is not easy for people to change a way of doing business? To change from trading goods to using money takes time??
① The story doesn't say so, but it makes you think that ____________.
A? family members often quarrel (争吵) about money
B? Africans do not change their way of doing business
C? Africans refuse to use money
D? families do not help one another in the same way now ?
[答案] D.?
② On the whole this story is about ____________ ?
A? the life of some Africans
B? changing from goods to using money
C? people helps one another
D? building roads across Africa ?
[答案] B.?
从以上的问题看,所设提问均不是对某个具体事实。而是真对整篇文章,由此可见通读全文,掌握中心和作者的态度的重要性。?
(2) 要注重文句间的相互关系。既注重主要情节又不可忽视细节。中考中阅读命题很多情况下是对事件的某个细节而进行测试的。?
例:… on Saturday afternoon they began with the back of the house? The next Saturday Tom went to a football match while his wife painted the front of the house? The next day they found they couldn't open any of the front windows? They get them open at last, but they broke three of the seven and they were very expensive to repair
?①? They lasted for about ______ days?
A? two B? three
C? more than seven D? Less than seven
?
[答案] A.?
②? They had to get someone to make repair for ______ windows?
A? seven B? four C? ten D? three
?
[答案] D.?
第一问中,如不分析第一句和第二句中的两个 Saturday, 很可能会选择答案C。事实上,他们只干了两个 Saturday, 而不是从这个星期六到下个星期六的7天时间。而第二问是他们弄坏了所有7个窗户中的3个,所以应选D。?
(3) 特别注意首尾句在整个文章中的作用,以及它起到的启示和结论性作用。?
例: Man has a big brain? He can think, learn and speak…?…but no animal learns when we speak Scientists do not really know? They only know that man can speak because he has a big brain??
这篇文章只要我们注意了首尾句,即可得出结论,它是讲述人类大脑与语言的关系的。人脑的其中一个作用是使他拥有语言,也就是和动物 apes, dogs 有了根本的区别。这样这篇文章的许多细节可以迎刃而解了。?
①? In what way are men different from animals
A? Men can understand things quickly.
B? Men can learn.
C? Men have learned language.
D? Men have brains. ?
[答案] C.?
②? Scientists now know ?______
A? how children learn to speak
B? why apes can learn a few words
C? men's brain helps him to learn to speak
D? what happens when men speak
?
[答案] C.?
③? What is the topic the writer wants to talk about
A? ape's language
B? men's brain and language
C? human brain
D? animals' learning
?
[答案] B.?
以上只是做阅读练习中的一般分析,要取得优异成绩,还有赖于扎实的阅读基础和语言能力,以及平时的技巧训练和刻苦练习。要坚持每天至少读三四篇文章,以逐步提高自己的英语水平。
(二) 例题解析?
通读下面短文,掌握其大意。然后从短文后各题所给的四个选项中选择最佳的一项。?

其中1选 much是应能从文章字里行间中猜到的,它应为much food to eat? 而将food 省略。2要知道 smell 可以作系动词,但也可以作名词,而4则为多个短语的词语辨析:at once 立刻, at last 最终, by then 到那时为止,on time 准时。所以应为at once? 7则要熟悉英语的习惯用法,即干这件事要用do,而不用make? 10之所以要用D则是因为鹅有两只腿,由于只剩一只而问另一只哪里去了,要用特指的定冠词。而 other 则为泛指的形容词,一般指复数, another虽然也指单数,但也应用于泛指的情况。而11题因其后有 of the country, 是在乡村的这个部分,所以只能用part? country 是不可数名词作"乡村"讲,作为可数名词则作"国家"讲。而作"乡村"讲时,前面的定冠词不可少。19则是要通读全文才知道鹅一只腿站立体息,而一被哄赶则放下另一只腿跑走了,人是两条腿站着,当被哄赶时那应是再长出两条腿奔跑着逃走。由此可见中考的难题越来越不在语法项,而在阅读和完形上用以选拔高质量的学生。?

[析] 在1题中可以看出stronger, younger worse, less 四个选项全可以选,语法是正确的。从文章开始到这里并看不出其原因为什么要选择C,这时只能将其选择空出往后面看,所以提醒考生要注意的是千万不要一一对完形填空作出选择,有很多情况 是后面的情景决定了前面的选择。当看到 We even thought that they had never seen a basketball before 和 We felt that we didn't need (2) any practice against a team like that? 则就肯定会得到第一个空的选项决不是比我们强壮,也不可能是少,更不可能是年轻、而是球技不佳,比我们差得很远。?而5题是要仔细考虑才能得到正确的结论。这四个动词都可以用在篮球运动中,但要注意的是,其后面的名词是pass,在这里应译为"长传"。而这个长传这里决不是开始,而是被截住了。所以这里应用stopped。 即"拦截了一个长传。"而 caught 的宾语应换为ball球就对了。B 选项为"改变",用于这里就不合题意了。而7项虽然很多人都知道篮球规则,投一球按两分计算,但这里应选哪个词则拿不准了,主要在B选项与D选项之间发生了问题。不知double的真实意义是"加倍,翻一翻"之意,还是"一对,一双,两倍"之意。其困难点还有9项,它的选择应为 just,这是由全文所决定的。它的意思是不论一个队多么好,总会有一个队会比你强出一点儿,哪怕是仅仅一点点。这也就是完形填空不易拿满分之处。这里要提醒大家的是:语言是十分灵活的,要经常不断地学习思考才会有所进步。?

[析] 本题属于表层理解阅读考查题目,因为完成其答案所需要的信息基本上可以直接从文章中获取,并不太多的需要推理和对环境,习俗的分析与了解。例如1题可直接从文章中 He lived with his parents in a small…中获取。2 题则可以从 He found that the wood beside the stove was buring 获取答案。3 题几乎是文章中的原句, There was no water tap in the house? 所以得分率会很高。4 题也可从文章中:Then he ran out of his house and knocked on the doors of many houses to wake the people up? 直接找出答案。5题的答案则可以从文章中最后一句获得,如: But nobody was hurt in the fire。 这样的阅读题目,是属于表层理解题目,也就是为了那些获取毕业成绩的分数所设计的。其目的在于对普通同学给予适当的分以求达到毕业之目的。这样的题目虽然容易,但还是要小心为好,不要粗心大意,以免不必要的丢分。?

[析] 本文在阅读过程中会感到难度,而其问题与选项的设计更为困难。其难点不仅在于要阅读好文章,而且要对问题和问题中的选择项作深入仔细地阅读。如1题的问句之意是有多少个孩子在游戏中扮演印第安人。而文章中又有"How many Indians " I asked 当作者问到有多少印第安人时,其答语为" about a thousand?" 这对于看不懂全文,而只认识个别单词的人就是一种很强的误导作用。因题目中问的是 How many,而文章中的数字是 a thousand? 但如果认真往下看则会发现: I was pushed out into the night and became a thousand Indians? 我被推入了黑暗之中变成了一千个印第安人。所以文章暗示了一个小孩来扮演一千个印第安人。这种题目的得分率自然不会很高。紧接而来的2题则更困难,问题问的是 Joe 的堂兄说他来的正是时候,是因为 ______。这是要认真去推理来判定的。由文中的句子 and before I could say no …这显然暗示了作者并不想扮演这样的角色,所以可以推论是没有人愿意扮演这个角色,但正在这个时候 Joe 来了,而且不由分说把 Joe 推入了角色之中。而3题则更加困难,其题目之意是"Joe 没有说出牛仔是绞死人"的这一句话是为了什么 ______。从文章中 Joe 被一群孩子追逐后被抓住,十分不高兴,想从中解脱出来。因其他孩子讲我们可以烧死他。所以 Joe 为了摆脱困境而要讲出的话是:"只有印第安人才烧人,而牛仔是用绳子绞死人。"后半句没有讲出来,是因为他看到如果要烧死人还需要找柴,找火柴,还是要一段时间的,但绳子就在他身上,如果绞死人那几乎是立刻马上之事。所以其答案选择了B。 这样的话可能会使事情更糟。4 题的题目是简单的,即下面陈述中那个是真实的。由于中考英语答案是唯一的,所以只有一个是符合标准的。这时可以采用选取正确答案的方法,但实际上更好的办法是排除法。把不正确的排除后再对其他项进行对比,作出选择。这叫作所谓的排除法。首先排除的应是C选项,因文章中讲在他们上车回家的路上妈妈问他:"为什么 Bobby 要火柴,他问爸爸是否有火柴。" 这里的爸爸显然指的是 Joe 的爸爸而不是 Bobby的爸爸。而其他三个选项则都处于可选之例:如A项应为 Joe 的一个堂兄在找火柴。B项是爸爸不想给孩子任何火柴。D项是妈妈认为孩子们不应玩火柴。而B项,在文章中根本没有进述Joe 爸爸的态度,所以应首先放弃,而D项是可以从推理中得到的,要不然他的母亲不会在车上问这个问题,但是文章中并未直接提出来,所以只有A是对的。因其妈妈讲 Bobby 是向 Joe的爸爸寻找火柴。而5项则更是要全文反复阅读才可能领会到其中的原由的。文章的题目要概括全部文章内容,但更重要的是从中抽取最重要的,也就是作者的主要意图。从文章的最后两句,当作者反问他妈妈时说:"他真的在找火柴 火柴、你敢肯定他是在找火柴吗 "妈妈表示十分肯定,而作者再也不讲什么了。显然他感到如果玩下去危险的存在。所以其答案是B。这也就是中考中要求较高的题目,虽然分数不多但对要进入重点高中的学生来说,这是个关键问题,也就是成功与失败的焦点所在。?
例:We spent a day in the country and picked a lot of flowers? Our car was full of flowers inside! On the way home we had to stop at traffic lights, and there my wife saw the bookshelf??It stood outside a furniture (家具)shop? "Buy it," she said at once? "We'll carry it home on the roof?rack(车顶架)? I've always wanted one like that?"?What could I do Ten minutes later I was twenty dollars poorer, and the bookshelf was tied on to the roof?rack? It was tall and?narrow, quite heavy too??As it was getting darker, I drove slowly? Other drivers seemed more polite than usual that evening? The police even stopped traffic to let us through? Carrying furniture was a good idea??After a time my wife said, "There's a long line of cars behind? Why don't they overtake(超车) "?Just at that time a police car did overtake?

The police car stopped at our village church(教堂)?One of the officers came to me??"Right, sir,"he said?"Do you need any more help now "?I didn't quite understand?"Thanks, officer," I said? "You've been very kind? I live just down the road?"?He was looking at our things: first at the flowers, then at the bookshelf? "Well, well," he said and laughed? "It's a bookshelf you've got there! We thought it was-er something else?"?My wife began to laugh? Suddenly I understood why the police drove here? I smilcd at the officer? "Yes, it's a bookshelf, but thanks again?"

[析] 这篇文章有英国幽默的味道。英国的幽默是十分特别的,它一般都是讲述一个故事,但当结尾时仅几句话则道出天机来。对于这样的文章要从头认真看到尾,不要在考场中为了赶时间自认为是全懂了,其实则不然。造成不必要的丢分。从1题可以看出作者十分不情愿地为其妻子买了个书架呢。第二段则出现"Buy it?"这样的祈使句。初学者不易看出里面的原委。要知道祈使句在对话中常常带有命令,或不客气之意,所以从这里开始已看出作者的情绪了。其后的What can I do 又是一句抱怨的话,"我还能作什么吗 "其后又是一句风趣的抱怨:Ten minutes later I was twenty dollars poorer?即暗示十分不情愿地又花了20美元。所以其答案是D。其后2题则是推理题,从作者买了书架之后一连串的奇怪事情发生了。首先是其他的驾驶员开车对他十分的礼貌,甚至警察阻挡其他车辆让他先行。所以其答案是B。第3题则一句道破天机。因为前两件事已使作者感到奇怪了。后来警察竟然亲自驾驶汽车为他开道。而且警察并不知道他要去什么地方就把他带到教堂来了。这是因为英美人一生三件大事都要在教堂做:其一是出生时在教堂洗礼,其二是结婚,其三则是死亡。所以警察不问其由而将他带到教堂是为了帮助他。所以答案是C。当警察讲到We thought it was …er something else 时,显然有个词是不好意思讲出口的,所以道出了文章的真实情况。这时不难对5题作出答复其答案是C。
