一、的代词 
代词中主要讲解六个问题 
(一) 掌握代词的几种格 
  主格、的宾格、的所有格 
  名词前面用代词来修饰,只能用所有格(my books) 

(二) 反身代词 
当主语和宾语表示同一事物时,宾语使用反身代词。 
 He killed himself. (他自杀了) 
 He killed him. (他杀了他) 

例:Researchers at the University of Colorado are investigating  
  A         B    
 a series of indicators that could help  
       C    
 themselves to predict earthquakes. 
  D 
分析:D错,应改为them。如果用反身代词themselves,指代对象是从句主语that(即名词indicators),这显然是错误的。从句意来看,help的宾语应该是主句主语researchers,故应用代词宾格而不是反身代词。注意C并没有错,情态动词could 比can语气弱,表示较小的可能性。 
Indicator为征兆,这些征兆帮助他们来预言地震。主语是征兆,后面指研究者,不是同一个事物 

(三) 代词的单复数,代词的性别 
在考试中如果代词打横线,代词错误的概率是非常高的,因此代词打横线,应该先看代词有没有错。 

例:The continental divide refers to an imaginary line in the North American Rockies  
 that divides the waters flowing into the Atlantic Ocean from it flowing into the  
   A  B   C     D 
 Pacific. 

分析:D错,应改为those。D指代复数名词waters, it是单数,显然是错误的,根据习惯故改为those。注意waters一词并没有错,它指江湖河海中的大片水域,可用复数形式。 

Water作为水是不可数名词,waters表示水域,通常使用复数形式,作主语谓语动词用复数。 
Work作为工作是不可数名词,work作为作品,可数不可数都可以,例如: 
  Many of his works= much of his work, work都表示作品 

例:In 1920 the presidential candidate Warren Harding coined  
            A  
 the word“normalcy”to express social and 
       B 
  economic conditions they promised the nation. 
  C    D 
分析:D错,应改为he。动作promised是由Warren Harding发出来的,故用第三人称单数he来指代。 

例:Many critics believe that Amy Lwell' s most important  
    A   
 work is not poetry, but his biography, John 
  B    C     
  Keats, published the year of her death.  
   D 
分析:C错,应改为her。his指男性,显然是错误的,应改为her与后面的her同指Amy Lowell. 

 
(四) Who和which的区别 
which指代事物或者动物,who指代人 
who/whom son往往要改为whose son, whose可以指代事物 

例:The human body contains more than six hundred muscles who  
       A       B  
 account for approximately forty percent of the body weight. 
  C         D 
分析:B错,应改为which或that。先行词不是指人,而是指物,关系代词不能用who,故改为which或that。 
人体前面加定冠词the, account for 占有多大的比例,解释说明 

(五) that和which的区别 
介词后面使用which, 而不用that,的in that除外 

例:When television was first introduced, the extent to that it  
       A    B  
 would affect society could not have been foreseen. 
   C       D 
分析:B错,应改为which。The extent to which, 介词加which(引导定语从句),影响社会的程度没有被预见 

(六) 定语从句的特殊省略 
Reason后面有定语从句,中间往往省略why,  
Time后面有定语从句,中间往往省略when 
  I do remember the time I heard the sweetest voice in the wild world. 
way后面有定语从句,中间省略了in which 

例:Research on pain has been neglected, although the mainly  
       A     B  
  reason people take medicine is to relieve pain. 
     C    D 
分析:B错,应改为main。mainly为副词,不能个饰后面的名词,故改为形容词main。句子中people take medicine修饰reason,定语从句引导词被省略 

例:Commercial expansion from city to suburb has  
 affected the way people in the United States----. 
  (A) living and working 
  (B) they live and work  
  (C) live and work 
  (D) to live and to work 
分析:选择C, the way people....影响了人们生活和工作的方式。 

二、的介词 
介词是考试中出现的比较多的一个部分,而其中考的最多的就是介词的固定搭配问题。由于篇幅问题,我们在这里仅仅举出几个例题,在说明书手册中我们完整的列出了所有的介词搭配,这些列出的搭配在以前的语法题中出现过,只不过有的时候是正确的选项,有的时候重复考。 

(一) 介词搭配 

例:The teeth in the upper jaw function together those  
  A     B  C    
 in the lower jaw to cut, tear, and grind food. 
        D 
分析:和…一起,应该为together with,C错 

例:The Allegheny Mountain range is rich of coal.  
A  &nb

[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]  下一页


sp; B   C D 
分析:B错改为be rich in 

例:The rotation of the Earth on its axis is responsible to the  
  A     B   C 
 alternation of periods of light and darkness. 
       D 
分析:C错,应改为responsible for。形容词responsible后接名词作宾语时要加介词for。 

 
(二) 最重要的两个介词 
1、的介词of 多余或者遗漏 
例:Mosquitoes usually lay eggs, singly or in batches, on top stagnant water. 
     A   B C   D 
分析:D错,应改为top of stagnant。on top of …是因定表达法,意为“在…上面”。 

例:Christopher Plummer is a Canadian actor who has  
         A B    
 starred in stage, television, and film productions on 
   C 
 both sides the Atlantic Ocean. 
   D 
分析:D错,应改为sides of the。 sides为名词,the Atlantic Ocean也是名词,中间明显少了一个介词。 

2、的介词by 
一种情况表示被动,be+过去分词+by 
另一种表示通过……的方式, by doing 
例:The ceremony of marriage in the United States 
  A     B     
  can be performed from a justice of the peace. 
  C   D 
分析:D错,应改为performed by。谓语动词是被动式,performed的动作执行者应该由介词by来引导。 

例:Along the east coast ,American Indian women's councils 
  A             
  could veto a declaration of war at refusing to 
   B   C    D 
  supply moccasins and field rations. 
分析:D错,应改为by refusing。通过拒绝提供鞋子和粮食,表示通过某种方式做某事要用介词by,故将at refusing 改为by refusing。 

例:Algebra is the branch of mathematics concerned with  
    A         
 operations on sets of numbers or other elements 
    B     C   
 that are often represented at symbols. 
       D 
分析:D错,应改为by。动作的发出者应该用介词by来引导。 
三、的谓语动词 
(一) 谓语动词的主谓一致 
①、的主谓分割原则 
例1:To the citizens of the United States, the bald eagle,  
   A   
  America's national bird, symbolize strength and freedom. 
    B   C   D 
分析:C错,应改为symbolizes。主语谓语用逗号分割开,主语the bald eagle为单数,谓语动词也应该用单数形式。 

②、的与后者一致原则 
not…but, 强调but后面的名词, 
not only…but also 

 
③、的与前者一致原则 
名词+with/together with/as well as/including+复数名词,谓语用is,  
中心词在前面,谓语动词应该与前面的名词保持一致  
例:The athlete, together with his coach and  
   A   B C   
 several relatives, are traveling to the Olympic Games. 
     D 
分析:D错,与谓语动词与the athlete 保持一致,改为is 

④、的就近原则 
or, either…or, neither…nor, 
单数名词+or+复数名词+are 
如果把句子变为一般疑问句,也就是把be动词提到前面,那么变为is 
所以注意一点: 如果是陈述句,靠后面近,用复数 
     如果是疑问句,靠前面近,用单数 

例:The structure or behavior of many protozoans are  
     A   B      
 amazingly complex for single-celled animals.  
   C        D 
分析:A错,应改为and。从谓语动词是复数形式判断,主语应该为复数,or连接两个名词时动词和后面的名词保持一致,behavior是用单数形式,因此只有改为并列连词and才能使主谓在数上保持一致。 

⑤定语从句主语就近原则 
There are five apples that are red. 
apples是复数,因此从句谓语动词是复数。 

例:A rocket burns propellant rapidly and most rockets 
   A       
 carry a supply that last just a few seconds. 
  B  C   D 
分析:D错,应改为lasts。从句的逻辑主语a supply为单数,其谓语动词应为单数形式。 

⑥the +形容词主谓一致 
The rich are not always happier than the poor. 
The rich 表示一类人,应该用复数 

⑦、的倒装句的主谓一致 
改错题倒装句的主谓一致一般考两种情况: 
a. there be 句型 
there be+名词+名词,那么最近的名词决定其形式 
b. between/ among 放在句首+be+名词,名词其实是主语,所以be和名词保持一致 

例:There are no known society in which left-handed people predominate. 
  A   B   C  D    
分析:there be 句型由最近的名词决定其形式,society当然用单数,A错,there are 改为there is 

 
例:Between the foothills of the Andes and the Pacific  
       A   B    
  Ocean are a dry coastal str

上一页  [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]  下一页


ip averaging about 30 
   C      
  miles in width. 
   D  
分析:倒装句,are改为is 

例:Among the favorite attractions at the National Air and  
  A  B    C      
 Space Museum in Washington D.C. are the film 
          D  
  presented on the five-story-tall screen. 
分析:D错,应改为films , 主语实际上是名词,应该与谓语动词保持一致。 

⑧、的百分比结构的主谓一致 
fifty percent of + 名词 
one percent of + 名词 
谓语动词的形式和百分比多少没有关系,主要取决于后面的名词,比如: 
  one percent of my students + are 
  fifty percent of my time is spent on working.  

这里要强调两个结构 
half of =fifty percent 
most of + 可数名词的+ are 
most of + 不可数名词+ is 

例:Nearly half of the ancient meteor craters has been  
  A    B     C   
  found in central and eastern Canada. 
      D 
分析:C错,应改为have been。介词of的宾语为复数名词短语,作主语的中心词half当然表复数,相应的谓语动词应为复数形式。 

例:Approximately fifty percent of the package utilized  
         A  B的  
 in the United States are for foods and beverages. 
        C   D 
分析:A错,应改为packages。从谓语动词用复数形式判断出主语是复数名词。注意food用复数表示不同种类的食品,beverage用复数表示不同种类的饮料,故(C)、的(D)均没有错。 

(二) 谓语动词的时态 
①、的主要考察时间状语 

例 The metal aluminum has been first isolated early in the nineteenth century. 
  A     B C   D 

分析:Metal, aluminum同位语,in the nineteenth century为明显表示过去时间的状语, 因此应该用过去时态,把has been改为was 

 
②、的For和since的区别 
区别一:For 后面使用时间段,since 后面使用时间点 
区别二:Since 只能用在现在完成时态,For 最主要用在现在完成时和一般过去时 
  I has been a teacher for three years. 
  I has been a teacher since 1996. 
  I was a teacher for three years.的这种表达可以,for three years表示一段时间,was 表示过去做了三年,现在不是老师了 

例: Since 1921 the budget of the United States became 
  A   B        
 the primary responsibility of the president. 
   C   D 
分析:A错,应改 In. since一般要求主句用完成时态,而句中谓语动词为过去式,其时间状语应与之呼应,故改Since为In。 

例:Adella Prentiss Hrghes served as manager of 
       A的 B的 C   
  the Cleveland Orchestra since fifteen years. 
      D 
分析:D错,应改为for。since引导时间状语时,主句谓语动词为一般完成时;主句谓语动词为一般过去时要用介词for;而且一段时间用for, 而不是since。 

 
52. In general, prawns lived in shallow coastal waters or in streams.的  
  A    B    C   D 
自然现象和客观事实用一般现在时态,live 

(三) 谓语的语态 
语态主要表示是主动语态还是被动语态。 
有四组动词是改错题中常考的: 
①、的prove  
My advice proved to be wrong. 我的建议被证明是错的 
尽管是被证明,但习惯上用主动; 

例:A majority of the reports received from people claiming  
           A   
 to have seen the legendary Loch Ness Monster have proven to be 
  B         C 
  mistakes, misconceptions, or they were being tricked. 
         D 
分析:D错,应改为tricks。并列连词 or在此连接名词,如果把D理解为并列句,不仅时态不对,语义也有问题,故将整个句子改为名词。have proven to be是正确的。 

 
②、的Locate,Situate 
这两个词可以用作主动,表示把…放置在…地方;确定…的位置 
 Bats locate obstacles.蝙蝠确定障碍物的位置 
这两个词也可以用作被动 
 My school was located near the river. 
区分locate的主动和被动比较难,但是有一个技巧存在:locate如果用作主动,后面必须跟宾语 
例:The center of gravity of the human body ---- behind the hip joint. 
  (A)locates  
  (B)locating 
  (C)to locate  
  (D)is located  
分析:空格处显然缺谓语动词,故首先排除不能作谓语的B和C。动词locate后面没有宾语,所以用作被动,表示“位于”,所以D为正确选项。 

③、的表示需要概念的动词 
need, want, require等 

My watch needed repairing 
My watch needed to be repaired. 

④、的表示人的情感的动词 
move, annoy, surprise, please等 

He is so moving. 他令人感到感动。 
He is greatly moved. 他感到非常感动。 

主动和被动技巧总结: 
如果句子中有一个“过去分词+by”, 如果断定它是谓语的话,前面必然有be动词 

例:The Tennessee Valley Authority has chart

上一页  [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]  下一页


ered by the  
         A     
 United States Congress in 1933 to construct dams, 
         B 
 power structures, and flood-control works along  
          C  
 the Tennessee River and its tributary streams. 
        D 
分析:A错,应改为has been chartered。由信号词by可知前面的谓语动词为被动语态形式。 

四、的非谓语动词 

(一) 分词 
现在分词和过去分词的区别 
①、的用于句首作状语,现在分词表示主动,过去分词表示被动 

例:Won its war for independence in 1783, the United States then  
  A  
 struggled to establish its own economic and financial system. 
   B   C      D 
分析:分词作状语,主要看是主动还是被动,美国赢得应该是主动,所以A错,改won为winning 

②、的用于名词后面作后置定语,现在分词表示主动,过去分词表示被动 
例:In the nineteenth century the Mohave Indians lived in  
    A        B  
  the Northern Hemisphere grew their crops on river bottom lands. 
        C     D 
分析:B错,生活在什么地方的人,人生活是主动,因此改为living 

 
一些动词后面必须用doing 
对于加doing的词来说,考试中一般出现一个,下面这些词都是要加doing的,请考生牢记。 
 mind, finish, enjoy, celebrate,  
 advocate, suggest 
 delay, quit 
 forgive(原谅),tolerate, 
 avoid, escape(逃避) 
 spend+名词+doing;  
 have trouble/difficult/a problem/ +doing 

例:Long before the dawn of recorded history, humans celebrated to harvest their  
  A   B  C       D 
 crops. 
分析:D错,应改为harvesting。及物动词celebrate直接带名词、的名词短语或动名词短语作宾语,故将to harvest改为harvesting。 

例:Some experts have advocated to bring that country into the talks,  
        A     B  
 to revive the intermittent dialogue that began after the 1967 Middle East War. 
    C     D 
分析:A错,advocate 后面直接跟doing, 改为advocate bringing 

(二) 不定式 
A. 动词不定式的省略 
①、的help后面可以省略to 
 help to do 
 help sb. to do 

例:A good exercise program helps teach people to avoid  
       A   B  
 the habits that might shorten the lives. 
     C   D 
分析:D错,应改为their. 定冠词在句中不如代词所有格明确,如果lives后面有定语就可以用the。注意(A)并没有错,help后面可以接不带to的不定式。 

②、的使役动词后面要省略to, 这样的动词只有三个 
 make,  
 let, 
 have sb. do sth 
 注意get不是使役动词,get sb. to do sth. 
例:A conductor used signals and gestures to let the musicians  
     A        B 
 to know when to play various parts of a composition.  
  C   D 
分析:let是使役动词,后面不需要to, C改为know 

③、的感官动词 
  hear, feel, watch, see, notice, observe 
  see sb do sth.的强调过程 
  see sb doing sth 正在做某事 

 
B. 动词不定式的固定用法 
(1)表示第一人 
the first woman to do sth.  

(2)表示迫使的动词 
一般考三个, allow/ enable/ call, +sb. + to do 

例:Besides providing clues to the nature of atoms, mineral analysis  
   A         B    
  allows to speculate geologists about the ancient Earth. 
    C      D 
分析:allow...to do是固定短语,allow的宾语应在不定式之前,即把C改为: allow geologists to speculate。 

 
(3)表示倾向…的形容词 
  be more likely to do 更有可能作某事 
  be inclined to do倾向于做某事 
  be lieable to do 易于…的 
  be apt to do  

(4)表示目的的名词, 
一共有7个这样的词,这一条也是最重要的。 
固定的句式:  
the purpose , the purpose of sth is to do sth. 
the objective 目标 
aim 
goal 
reason理由 
function功能 
intension意图 

例:The function of Louis Sullivan's architecture was providing  
            A的  
 large uninterrupted floor areas and to allow ample light into the interior. 
      B      C   D 
分析:the function to

上一页  [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]  下一页


provide, A错 

例:The chief goal of biochemistry is for understanding the structure  
          A     
 and behavior of the carbon-containing compounds  
   B  
 that make up various components of a living cell. 
  C  D 
分析:the chief goal is to understand, A错 

(5) 其他同根名词 
 ability to do的受到be able to 的影响 
 attempt to do 企图 
 decision to do 决定, 受decide的影响 
 ambition,  
 be ambitious to do的  
 effort 

例:For ancient people, myths were often attempts explanation  
 A          B   
  catastrophic events such as volcanic eruptions. 
     C    D 
分析:B错,应改为to explain。 attempts后应跟动词不定式短语表目的,故将名词explanation改为to explain。 

例:In the early 1960's the Civil Rights movement made great  
 A          B   
  efforts for registering members of minorities to vote. 
    C      D 
分析:efforts to register, C错 

 
C. 动词不定式的其他用法 
(1) be to do 表示已安排好或者注定要发生的动作,属于将来时态的范畴 
She and Anne are to meet at two o'clock. 
 
(2)不定式的完成式为“to have done”,表示不定式的动作在谓语动作之前发生,这个完成式通常表示一般过去时 
I am glad to see you.  
I am glad to have seen your mother yesterday. 
yesterday是一般过去时,修饰have seen. 

(3) 形容词后面使用动词不定式,主动表示被动 
It is difficult to decide. 

 
五、的句子的结构 
句子的结构主要考查四个出题方向。 

(一) 主语的重复 
名词+代词+谓语,这个代词永远是重复的主语,永远是错的 
例:Woodrow Wilson he was an idealist who refused to make any  
     A   B     
 compromises concerning the establishment of the  
      C      D 
 League of Nations. 
分析:代词he不是同位语,主语重复;如果是下面这样的主语,那么便是主语同位语 
A prolific writer, Woodrow Wilson 

 
例:Two unique features of the Arctic they are  
    A    B的  
 lack of precipitation and permanently frozen ground. 
  C     D 
分析:选项B中的they和前面的主语two unique features重复 

(二)谓语的重复 
完整的句子后面又多了一个谓语,往往改为定语从句 

例:A paragraph is a portion of a text consists of  
  A      B    
 one or more sentences related to the same idea. 
     C  D 
分析:B错,应改为consisting of或which consists of。句中有两个无法连接的谓语动词,而且前一个谓语动词下面没有划线,故改consists为非谓语动词形式或在它前面加which使之成为从句谓语动词。 

(三)谓语的缺少 
例:Most mammals to maintain a relatively constant body  
     A   B   
  temperature, regardless of what the air temperature might be. 
     C        D 
分析:A错,应改为maintain。句中缺谓语动词,故去掉不定式符号to 使maintain变成谓语动词。 

(四)主句的重复 
主句的重复总是考even, instead, during, despite等引导的句子, 但是实际上它们无法把两个句子连接起来,因为它们都是副词或者介词,连接两个句子应该用连接词连接 

 
例:Salmon spend most of their adult lives in salt water, despite  
   A     B    C  
 they return to their freshwater birthplaces to spawn and die. 
   D 
分析:C错,应改为though。despite是介词,后面一般接名词作宾语,而在句中它后面却跟着一个完整的句子,所以改为连词though。 

例:Solar eclipses occur during the Moon's shadow  
    A  B     
 sweeps across the face of the Earth. 
   C  D 
分析:B错,应改为when或as。介词不能引导条件状语从句,根据题意改为从属连词when或as。 

例:Even many early leaders of the United States have provided  
  A           B  
 names for towns, only George Washington 
   C 
 is remembered in the name of a state. 
     D 
分析:A错,应改为Even though。even为副词,不能引导从句,根据题意,改为引导让步状语从句的Even though。
