所谓动名词(gerund)就是名词,只是保有一些动词的功能.所以它在句中可以作主语,宾语,表语,同位语,定语等那些名词可以充当的成分.
而现在分词(present participle)相当于形容词,在句中作定语或者状语
所以当-ing形式出现在句中作主语,宾语,同位语时,它肯定时gerund.
当-ing形式出现在句中作状语时,它肯定是present participle.
它们有可能被弄错的是作表语和定语时.其实也很好区分
1. 作表语: 我们知道, 名词和形容词都可以作表语.
This is water(n.).
It is transparent(adj).
这时你肯定能明白,如果-ing作表语相当于n.它就是gerund. 反之相当于adj.时它就是present.participle.
The situation both at home and abroad is very inspiring.
One of the best exercises is swimming.
2. 作定语时的区别我在回答中已经解释了. 动名词作定语时,表示它所修饰的名词的性能和用途,和它所修饰的名词在逻辑上没有主谓关系;现在分词作定语时,表示它所修饰的名词正在进行的动作,和它所修饰的名词在逻辑上有主谓关系.
a sleeping bag.(用途)=a bag for sleeping
a sleeping child = a child is sleeping (child是sleep的主语,sleep是child发出的动作)
(呵呵下面再请你告诉我它们分别是什么吧!
a swimming girl
a swimming pool
3. 最后来解释修饰他们到底该用是adv, 还是adj.
无论是Present participle. 还是gerund, 它们都叫做动词的-ing形式(所以若有人分不清它们时,多把它们混为一谈).也就是说它们都有动词的特点,故而都可用adv修饰.
eg: Reading a novel intently, I didn’t realize he came in. (reading, 现分作状语, 用adv intently修饰)
eg: My dream is speaking English perfectly. (speaking动名词,副词perfectly修饰.)
但gerund不仅有动词的特点,它也有名词的特点,这就决定了它也可以像名词一样用物主代词,形容词来修饰.
Would you mind my(物主代词) sitting here?
The mellow(愉快的, 形容词) singing of the birds announces the coming of spring
动名词和现在分词:都称作动状词(Verbal),即由动词变化而来,仍然具有动词的性质与原义,但不能作动词使用的词。
动名词与现在分词的区别主要是:-ing形式在句中作定语,它可能是现在分词,也可能是动名词。
区别方法是:
动名词作定语时:说明被修饰的名词的用途(可以用"use for +动名词"这个结构代替),
它和所修饰的名词在逻辑上没有主谓关系;
现在分词作定语时:表示它所修饰的名词的行为,和它所修饰的名词在逻辑上有主谓关系
(可以扩展为定语从句);
还有一种区别方法是:
如果ing形式相当于一个名词,可以与主语交换位置,它就是动名词。
如果-ing形式相当于 形容词,不能与主语交换位置,它就是现在分词。
a sleeping car = a car used for sleeping 一节卧车车厢 (sleeping此处为动名词 )
a sleeping child =a child who is sleeping 一个睡着的孩子 (sleeping此处为现在分词 )
2.动名词具有名词的性质:
(1)可以和名词一样有冠词或this、some等形容词;
A knocking at the door was heard
(2)可以和名词一样有所有格、复数形式;
He enjoys reading forreading’s sake, not for scholarship.
He is so busy that I can’t keep track of all his comings and goings.
(3)可以带有所有格已表明动作者。
Please excuse my coming late.
3. “动名词+名词”和“现在分词+名词”的读音不同,
“动名词+名词”的重音在“动名词”上(a ‘sleepingsuit),
“现在分词+名词”的重音在“名词”上(a sleeping ‘child)。
4. 动名词用法的特殊情况
① No+动名词——用于简短的禁令或禁律
No smoking=Don't do=Don't smoke.
② There is no+-ing(…是不可能的)= It is impossible to ~ = No one can ~ (or We cannot ~)
There is no tellingwhen lasting peace will come.
(谁也不知道永久的和平何时到来)
③ Never (or not) … without + -ing (每次…都…)= whenever
He never comes withoutbringing some present.
④ It goes without saying that (…是不用说的)= It isneedless to say that
It goes withoutsaying that no animal can live without breathing.
⑤ Do+动名词(做需要若干时间或一再重复的事情)——
动名词之前都由the、所有 格或some/a little/ much/ a lot of 之类的形容词。
Do you do muchfishing?
⑥ On (or upon) +动名词(当…,一…就…)=when (or as soonas) +S. + V.
⑦ Of one’s own +动名词(自己…的)=-ed by oneself
He showed me apicture of his own painting.
⑧ Make a point of +动名词(必定,重视)= make it apoint to ~
He makes a point ofcalling on me on New Year’s Day.
⑨ Be on (or upon) the point of +动名词(正要)= be justabout to ~
5. 如果动名词形式在句中充当状语和补语,那么它一定是现在分词。
如果-ing形式在句中充当主语、宾语、同位语,那么它一定是动名词。

E.g.: a sleeping car=a car used for sleeping 一节卧车车厢 (sleeping此处为动名词 )
a sleeping child=a child who is sleeping 一个睡着的孩子 (sleeping此处为现在分词 )
2. 动名词具有名词的性质:
可以和名次一样有冠词或this、some等形容词; E.g.: A knocking at the door was heard
可以和名次一样有所有格、复数形式;
E.g.: He enjoys reading for reading’s sake, not for scholarship.
He is so busy that I can’t keep track of all his comings and goings.
可以带有所有格已表明动作者。 E.g.: Please excuse my coming late.

⑦ Of one’s own = -ing (自己…的)=-ed by oneself
E.g.: He showed me a picture of his own painting.
⑧ Make a point of –ing (必定,重视)= make it a point to ~
E.g.: He makes a point of calling on me on New Year’s Day.
⑨ Be on (or upon) the point of –ing (正要)= be just about to ~
6. 如果-ing形式在句中充当状语和补语,那么它一定是现在分词。
如果-ing形式在句中充当主语、宾语、同位语,那么它一定是动名词
二、分词
不管是现在分词还是过去分词作状语,如果单独作状语,其逻辑主语必须和主句的主语一致。分词作状语通常可以转换成一个相应的状语从句,如果状语从句中的谓语动词为被动结构,就用过去分词;如果状语从句中的谓语动词为主动结构,就用现在分词。有时为了强调,分词前可带连词when, while, if, though, as if,unless等一起作状语,以便使句子的意思更清楚、更连贯。例如:
Working hard (If you work hard), you will succeed.
分词或分词短语作状语时,可以表示时间、原因、让步、条件、方式或伴随状况。通常可转换成相应的状语从句;表示方式或伴随状况的可以转换成并列句或非限制性定语从句。
在复合宾语中,用现在分词作宾补,说明宾语是动作的发出者,形成逻辑上的主谓关系;用过去分词作宾补,表示宾语是动作的承受者,构成逻辑上的动宾关系。例如:
There was so much noise that the speaker couldn't make himself heard.
有些不及物动词的过去分词作定语,并不表示被动的意思而是表示完成。这类过去分词常作前置修饰语。例如:
There are a lot of fallen leaves in autumn.
常用的这一类词有:fallen, faded, returned,retired, risen, grown up,vanished等。
分词作后置定语可分为限制性(紧跟在所修饰的中心词之后)和非限制性(用逗号与其所修饰的中心词分开)两种,其作用分别相当于一个限制性定语从句和非限制性定语从句。例如:
The funds raised (= which have been raised) are mainly used for helping the homeless. 分词作定语既可以放在所修饰的词之前,作前置定语,也可以放在所修饰的词后面,作后置定语。其作用相当于一个定语从句。例如:
1. _______ at in his way, the situation doesn’t seem so desperate. (2007)

四、独立主格结构
1. 当状语从句的主语与主句的主语不是指同一个对象时,可用独立主格结构取代状语从句,但不再保留连词。如:
After class was over (=Class being over / Class over), the students soon left the classroom.下课后,学生很快离开了课室。
2. 在下列两种情况下,独立主格结构中的being(或having been)不能省略:
(1) 独立主格的逻辑主语是代词时。如:
It being Sunday, we went to church.因为是星期天,我们去了做礼拜。
(2) 在There being+名词的结构中。如:
There being no bus, we had to go home on foot.因为没有公共汽车,所以我们不得不步行回家。
3. 在“名词(或代词)+介词短语”构成的独立主格结构中,一般不用形容词性物主代词和冠词。如:
Miss Smith entered the classroom, book in hand.史密斯先生走进了课室,手里拿着一本书。
比较with的复合结构:Miss Smith entered the classroom, with a book in his hand.
4. 独立主格结构没有所有格形式。如:
The chief-editor arriving, we began the meeting. 主编来了,我们开始开会。
比较动名词复合结构:
The chief-editor’s arriving made us very surprised.
5. 独立主格结构作时间或原因状语时,可用完成时,表示该动作发生在谓语之前。如:
The listeners having taken their seats, the concert began.听众坐好后,音乐会开始了。

五、状语从句
♠状语从句的省略
状语从句同时具备下列两个条件:①主句和从句的主语一致,或从句主语为it;②从句主要动词是be的某种形式。从句中的主语和be动词常可省略。例如:
When ( the museum is ) completed , the museum will be open to the public next year .
He’ll go to the seaside for his holiday if (it is ) possible.
另外,比较状语从句经常省略。例如:
I’m taller than he (is tall ).
The higher the temperature (is), the greater the pressure (is ).
就状语从句而言,有时为了使语言言简意赅,常常将状语从句进行"简化"。状语从句的"简化"现象在口语中较为普遍,而且在高考中的复现率也较高。因此,有必要对其进行全面、透彻的了解。
状语从句的"简化"现象常存在于以下五种状语从句中:①由if, unless等引导的条件状语从句;②由although, though, even if / though等引导的让步状语从句;③由when, while, as, before, after, until / till等引导的时间状语从句;④由as, as if等引导的方式状语从句;⑤由as, than等引导的比较状语从句。下面针对这五种情形作一归纳。
when, while和as的区别
when引导的从句的谓语动词可以是延续性的动词,又可以是瞬时动词。并且when有时表示“就在那时”。
While引导的从句的谓语动作必须是延续性的,并强调主句和从句的动作同时发生(或者相对应)。并且while有时还可以表示对比。
As表示“一边……一边”,as引导的动作是延续性的动作,一般用于主句和从句动作同时发生;as也可以强调“一先一后。
as when while都表示主、从句动作同时发生,三者差异如下:
表示“一边。。。一边"的意思
as 强调两个动作同时进行,并表示对比时
用于发生时间较短时
when
1、还可以表示从句动词的动作在主几句动词的动作"之前 "或"之后"发生。
2、when=and then; at that moment (正在那个时候)
while 1、用于时间较长时
2、 强调两个动作同时进行,并表示对比时
有时这三个连词可以互换,有时不可以。
2.由before和after引导的时间状语从句。
注意before引导的从句不再用否定式的谓语,并且当before引导的从句位于主句之后,有时译成“就,才”。还要注意主句和从句之间的时间关系。当主句用将来时,从句总是用现在时;如果before引导的从句谓语用的是过去时,则主句动词多用过去完成时,这样以便体现动作发生的先后。After表示主句动作发生在从句动作之后。主句和从句的动作的时间关系正好与before引导的从句相反。例如:
It will be four days before they come back. 他们要过四天才能回来。
till和until一般情况下两者可以互换,但是在强调句型中多用until。并且要注意的是:如果主句中的谓语动词是瞬时动词时,必须用否定形式;如果主句中的谓语动词是延续性动词时,用肯定或否定形式都可以,但表达的意思不同。例如:
I didn't go to bed until(till) my father came back.直到我父亲回来我才上床睡觉。
It was not until the meeting was over that he began to teach me English.直到散会之后他才开始教我英语。
since引导的从句的谓语动词可以是延续性的动词,又可以是瞬时动词。一般情况下,从句谓语动词用一般过去时,而主句的谓语动词用现在完成时。但在It is +时间+since从句的句型中,主句多用一般现在时。例如:
I have been in Beijing since you left. 自从你离开以来,我一直在北京了。
Where have you been since I last saw you? 自上次我和你见面以后,你到哪里去了?
It is four years since my sister lived in Beijing. 我妹妹不在北京住有四年了。
1. It is since从。。。以来多长时间了(因为since +从句或名词,表示一段时间)
It is five years since we met last time.从我们上次见面已经五年了。
2. It is +before…(。。。才)
It was a long time before I went to sleep again.
过了很长时间我才睡着。
It was an hour before(=until) the police arrived.
过了一个小时,警察才来。
hardly(scarcely, rarely)…when / before, no sooner…than相当于as soon as之意。主句用过去完成时,从句用一般过去时。当hardly, scarcely, rarely和no sooner位于句首时,主句应用倒装语序。例如:
He had no sooner arrived home than he was asked to start on another journey. 他刚到家,就被邀请开始另一旅程。
6.由by the time引导的时间状语从句。
注意时态的变化:在一般情况下,如果从句的谓语动词用一般过去时,主句的谓语动词用过去完成时;如果主句的谓语动词用一般现在时,主句的谓语动词用将来完成时。例如:
By the time you came back, I had finished this book.到你回来时,我已经写完这本书了。
By the time you come here tomorrow, I will have finished this work. 你明天来这儿的时候,我将已经完成此工作了。
anywhere本身是个副词,但是,常可以引导从句,相当于连词,意思相似于wherever, anywhere引导的从句可位于主句之前,也可以位于主句之后。 而wherever本身就是个连词,表示“在何处,无论何处”。例如:
Wherever the sea is , you will find seamen.有海就有海员。
_难点——because , since , as , for,辨析
1) because语势最强,用来说明人所不知的原因,回答why提出的问题。当原因是显而易见的或已为人们所知,就用as或since。
I didn’t go, because I was afraid.
Since /As the weather is so bad, we have to delay our journey.
2) 由because引导的从句如果放在句末,且前面有逗号,则可以用for来代替。但如果不是说明直接原因,而是多种情况加以推断,就只能用for。
He is absent today, becaus e / for he is ill.
He must be ill, for he is absent today.
3.比较:so和such
其规律由so与such的不同词性决定。such 是形容词,修饰名词或名词词组,so 是副词,只能修饰形容词或副词。 so 还可与表示数量的形容词many, few, much, little(这四个形容词表多或表少时)连用,形成固定搭配。
so foolish such a fool
so nice a flower such a nice flower
so many / few flowers such nice flowers
so much / little money. such rapid progress
so many people such a lot of people
( so many 已成固定搭配,a lot of 虽相当于 many,但 a lot of 为名词性的,只能用such搭配。)
so…that与such…that之间的转换既为so与such之间的转换。
The boy is so young that he can’t go to school.
He is such a young boy that he can’t go to school
难点
+形容词或副词
+形+a(an)+单数可数名词
so +many 或few+复数可数名词+that
+much或little+不可数名词
so that ,such…that 都可以in order that两者皆可引导目的状语从句和结果状语从句,
当他们引导目的状语从句时,从句的谓语里常常有can, could, may, might, will, would等次。
so +adj或adv.+ that, such +n.+ that 以上两种句型都表示结果,其中so为副词,后接形容词,副词原型,当可数名词前有many, few;不可数名词前有much, little修饰时,应采用句型:so many (few, much, little )+n. 。such为形容词, 后只能接名词。这名词既可以地可数的,也可以是不可数的。如果这名词是可数,单数,则必须在名词前加冠词a(an). 常见的形式是:such a (beautiful)garden, such(nice)people.
although, though 辨析
although 不能though 那样用作副词, 放在句末表示强调时要用even though.
1。He is looking fit, though.

2。Even though I didn’t under a word, I kept smiling.
尽管我一个字也不懂,我还是一直微笑着。
3。He is quite experienced, he is young, though.
尽管他很年轻,他很有经验。
as, (just) as…so…引导的方式状语从句通常位于主句后,但在(just) as…so…结构中位于句首,这时as从句带有比喻的含义,意思是"正如…","就像",多用于正式文体,例如:
1。Always do to the others as you would be done by.

六、定语从句
注意:1. 含有介词的动词短语一般不拆开使用,如:look for, look after, take care of等
(1) This is the watch which/that I am looking for. (T=正确)
(2) This is the watch for which I am looking. (F=错误)
2. 若介词放在关系代词前,关系代词指人时用whom,不可用who或者that;指物时用which,不能用that;关系代词是所有格时用whose
关系代词(一般情况下)that 可用who ,whom 和which在从句做主语,谓动词的宾语,但是不能做介词的宾语
which指物,在从句中作主语,谓语或宾语;
who在从句中作主语;
whom在从句中宾语;
where在从句中修饰表地点的名词,做地点状语;
when在从句中通常修饰表时间的名词,做时间状语;
why在从句中做原因状语,先行词通常是"reason"
有时why也可用for+which代替。
判断关系代词与关系副词
方法一: 用关系代词,还是关系副词完全取决于从句中的谓语动词。不及物动词后面无宾语,就必须要求用关系副词或者是介词加关系代词;而及物动词后接宾语,则要求用关系代词。例如:
This is the mountain village where I stayed last year.
I'll never forget the days when I worked together with you.
方法二: 准确判断先行词在定语从句中的成分(主、谓、宾、定、状),也能正确选择出关系代词/关系副词。例1. Is this museum ___ you visited a few days ago?
A. where B. that C. on which D. the one
例2. Is this the museum ____ the exhibition was held?
A. where B. that C. on which D. the one答案:
例1 D,例2 A
例1变为肯定句:This museum is ___ you visited a few days ago.例2变为肯定句:This is the museum ___ the exhibition was held.
在句1中,is后应跟表语,只有the one可以,而后面的you visited a few days ago则做one的定语从句。
而句2中, 主、谓、宾俱全,从句部分为句子的状语表地点,既可用副词where,又因 in the museum词组,可用介词in + which 引导地点状语。而此题中,介词on 用的不对,所以选A。
关系词的选择依据在从句中所做的成分,先行词在从句中做主、定、宾语时,选择关系代词 (who, whom, that, which, whose);
先行词在从句中做状语时,应选择关系副词( where 地点状语,when 时间状语,why 原因状语) 。
由as, which 引导的非限定性定语从句,as和which可代整个主句,相当于and this或and that。As一般放在句首,which在句中。
As we know, smoking is harmful to one's health.
The sun heats the earth, which is very important to us
(1)as 引导的定语从句可置于句首,而which不可。
(2)as 代表前面的整个主句并在从句中作主语时,从句中的谓语必须是系动词;若为行为动词,则从句中的关系代词只能用which.。
(十)关系代词that 的用法
(错)The tree, that is four hundred years old, Is very famous here.
We depend on the land from which we get our food.
We depend on the land that/which we get our food from.
(a) 在there be 句型中,只用that,不用which。
(b) 在不定代词,如:anything, nothing, the one, all, much, few, any, little等作先行词时,只用that,不用which。
(c) 先行词有the only, the very, the same, the last, just修饰时,只用that。
(d) 先行词为序数词、数词、形容词最高级时,只用that。.

句型2: 主语+情态动词否定形式+动词原形+其它,情态动词+主语?
而是用上了“never, little, few, hardly, nothing, nobody”等词,这时该陈述句也属于否定句,因此,反意疑问句的后半部分应用肯定疑问式。
二、 反意疑问句中问句部分的动词与陈述部分的动词种类要对应一致。如:
①He has supper at home every day, doesn't he? (不能用hasn't he?)

③It is impossible to learn English without remembering more words, isn't it?(不能用is it ?)

11. I don’t like ________ when people talk with their mouth full.
How long ago is it that you last saw her? 你上一次看见她是多久以前的事?
基本形式为It is (was) not until…that…。比较:
He didn't come until his wife left. 他妻子走了之后他才来。
→It was not until his wife left that he came. 他妻子走了之后他才来
这类句型不用倒装语序,但若改成Not until…,则要用倒装。如:
Not until his wife left did he come. 他妻子走了之后他才来。
Not until the rain stopped did they start. 直到雨停他们才出发
It might have been John _________ bought a present for Mary yesterday.
A. that B. when C. what D. which
【解析】答案选A,为强调句型,由于句中动词be采用了might have been这一复杂结构,所以许多同学们可能会看不出它是一个强调句型。
It was evening we reached the little town of Winchester.
A. that B. until C. since D. before
) 原句子是现在时或将来时,强调句用It is + 被强调的部分 + that (who)…; 若原句子是过去时,强调句用:It was + 被强调的部分 + that (who)…
(1) Tom and Lucy gave us much help. —It was Tom and Lucy that gave us much help. 正是汤姆和露西给了我们很多的帮助。
(E) 强调一般疑问句中的某一成分时,将强调句中的主句用一般疑问语序。如:
(1) Do you like English?—It is English that you like? 英语就是你喜欢的吗?
(2) Will you go to London?—It is London that you will go to? 你要去的就是伦敦吗?
(F)特殊疑问句中只有疑问词可以被强调。句型为:特殊疑问词+be + it that+…? 如:
(1) What made him so angry?—What is it that made him so angry? 是什么东西使他如此生气?
(2) Why did she cry?—Why was it that she cried? 是什么原因使他哭了起来?
(G) 强调主语时,who 或that后面的谓语形式须与被强调的主语保持一致。如:
(1) Lily speaks Chinese very well. —It is Lily who / that speaks Chinese very well. 李丽的汉语讲得很好。
(2) Children like stories. —It is Children that like stories. 孩子们喜欢故事。
I) 强调句型不用于强调谓语、表语、since, as等引导的原因状语从句。如:
He is better today since he can walk around without my help. 就不能有下列强调形式:
It is better today that he is today since he can walk around without my help. (错)
1. It was not until midnight _________ the snowcapped peak. (1995)
A. that they sighted B. that they did not sight C. did they sight D. had they sighted
3. ________ the train had departed ________ she left the station for home.

我搞了一张新东方出的TOEFL高分语法,现把里面的语法要点COPY出来贡献一下。
要有错误找老鱼哦,不要找我麻烦。
填空题常考结构
一、主句单一原则
任何一个句子中只可能有一个主句。
做题时考生需要首先判断原题中已经给出的句子结构,如果已经有一个主句,那么就绝对不能够再出现另一个主句,除非中间有连接词进行联系。
例1:——, work songs often exhibit the song culture of a people in a fundamental form.
(A) They occur where they are
(B) Occuring where
(C) Where they occur
(D) Where do they occur
分析:空格后面是一个主句,(A)为带有从句的主句,空格后又是主句,有两个主句一定错。
C为地点状语从句,正确(劳动歌曲发生的地方)。
例2: ——Indiana, is in a rich farming and dairy area, it is primarily a diversified industrial center
(A) Fort Wayne
(B) Although Fort Wayne
(C) For wayne is in
(D) Fort Wayne, in
分析:空格后有两个谓语动词但中间没有连接词,由此可知,最后一句话是一个主句,空格处应该有从句引导词,四个选项中只有(B)中although能引导从句,故选(B)。
二、谓语动词专一原则
任何一个句子只可能存在一个谓语动词。
句子中不可能没有谓语动词,也不能多于一个谓语动词(除非中间存在连接词)。
例1:William Walker's mural, “Wall of Respect,”
-----an outdoor wall in Chicago, deals with
social issues.
(A) covers
(B) covers it
(C) which covers
(D) which it covers
分析:空格后的deals with 是谓语动词,A, B是谓语形式, 和deals with 之间没有连接词,可先排除; D 中的it多余,因为在定语从句中which已经作了主语;C构成正确的定语从句
例2:In copper engravings and etchings, -----caused
by the edges of the plate is clearly visible on
the paper.
(A) the impression is
(B) if the impression is
(C) impressions
(D) the impression
分析:题目中的is是谓语,A,B中是谓语重复。C为复数名词,与后面的谓语动词is的数不一致,故也排除。因此选择D,caused.... 修饰impression
三、平行结构
技巧:如果填空题中空格的后面有and, 或者and后面有空格,那么这道题目一定是考察平行结构。
填空题中平行结构出现的形式是:
A and B,
A , B, and C
例1:The technique of recording, classifying, and——
is known as accounting.
(A) an enterprise's transactions summary
(B) the summarizing of an enterprise's
transactions
(C) transactions of an enterprise are
summarized
(D) summarizing the transactions of an
enterprise
分析:空格的后面是and, 一般考平行结构,空格处缺与前面recording、classifying并列的动名词。
四个选项中只有(D)符合条件,故选(D)。
例2:Louis T. Wright, a surgeon, developed
ingenious orthopedic braces, ——, and
supervised the first use of Aureomycin on
human patients.
(A) treating skull fractures that he pioneered in
(B) pioneered in treating skull fractures
(C) which pioneered in treating skull fractures
(D) he was a pioneer in the treatment of skull
fractures
分析:空格后面是and, 空格处缺少和developed、supervised平行的谓语动词,因此选择(B)。
四、宾语从句结构
宾语从句的引导词在前面的主从复合句中已经提到。
这里指出的是填空题中关于宾语从句考的最多的两个结构:
state(陈述,表明)+that
indicate(指明,表明)+that
例1:The quantum theory states ——, such as light,
is given off and absorbed in tiny definite
units called quanta or photons.
(A) energy that
(B) that it is energy
(C) it is energy
(D) that energy
分析:空格前的谓语动词states一般接关系连词that引导的宾语从句,故首先排除C。空格后已有谓语动词,空格不应再出现谓语动词,因此D正确。
例2:Studies of the gravity field of the Earth
indicate——yield when unusual weight is
placed on them.
(A) although its crust and mantle
(B) its crust and mantle to
(C) that its crust and mantle
(D) for its crust and mantle to
分析:空格处显然缺谓语动词indicate的宾语。(A)和(D)不能作宾语,可首先排除。(B)使句子结构混乱、语义不清,因此选择(D),构成宾语从句。
五、介词+ which结构
许多同学在选择which还是介词+which上总是不太明白,这里有一个技巧可以告诉大家。
“which”后面一定加一个缺主语或者宾语的句子,
因为“which”在这个句子中作了宾语或者主语成分。
“介词+ which”后面则跟一个完整的句子,
因为”介词+which”整个结构在定语从句中作状语。
例1:In the United States, a primary election is
a method ---- voters select the nominees
for public office.
(A) that
(B)by which
(C)is that
(D)by those
分析:空格前后都是句子,因此缺从句引导词或连接词,首先排除C和D。
A能够引导从句,但是根据题意,修饰method是不通的。
B是介词+which, 引导定语从句,(大选是一种方法,根据这个方法,选民怎么….);正确
例2: Croquet is a popular lawn game ------ players
hit wooden balls through wire arches called
wickers.
(A) when
(B) which
(C) is when
(D) in which
分析:空格前后都是完整的句子,空格处缺定语从句引导词,由此首先排除(A)和(C)。但是到底是选择B还是D,则看从句,从句是完整的句子,那么一定选择D, 关系代词which 前应该有介词。
六、in that结构
在表示“原因”概念的引导词中,
because of +名词,
consequently是副词
而“in that”是原因状语的引导词。
例1:Mercury differs from other industrial metals
---- it is a liquid.
(A) whereas
(B) in that
(C) because of
(D) consequently
分析:空格前后都是完整的句子,空格处显然缺从句引导词。C、D不能引导从句,可以首先排除。
根据题意,两个句子之间是因果关系而不是对比关系,故选(B)。in that为复合连词,用来引导原因状语从句。
例2:Hovercraft, or air-cushion vehicles, are unusual
—— travel over land and water on a layer of air.
(A)they
(B)in they
(C)that they
(D)in that they
分析:空格处缺从句引导词和从句主语。A和B缺从句引导词,首先被排除。C一般作宾语从句或定语从句,而句中需要的是状语从句,故也排除。D中in that为连词,引导表原因的状语从句,符合题意(气垫船之所以不同,是因为……),故选D。
这里我们再重申一下,如果选项中出现“介词+which”或者“in that”,那么首先考虑这个选项,如果后面使用的是完整的句子结构,那么这个选项就一定是答案。这种题目平时出现的不多,但是要考的话一定就是重点。
例3:Emily Dickinson's garden was a place ------
great inspiration for her poems.
(A) that she drew
(B) by drawing her
(C) from which she drew
(D) drawn from which
分析:首先看选项C, “介词+which”, 而后面是she drew great inspiration for her poems.是一个完整句子,那么选项C就是答案。
七、what结构
what结构在95.8以后的新题中考的非常多,记住一点:
what=the thing that
例1:The chief foods eaten in any country depend
largely on ----- best in its climate and soil.
(A) it grows
(B) what grows
(C) does it grow
(D) what does it grow
分析:空格前有depend on这个短语,四个选项都是句子,故可判断出空格处为宾语从句。A和C没有从句引导词,故排除,(D)的语序有问题,从句不能用特殊疑问句的倒装形式,故(B)正确。
例2:During the eighteenth century, Little Turtle
was chief of the Miami tribe whose territory
became----is now Indiana and Ohio.
(A) there
(B) where
(C) that
(D) what
分析:空格处缺的词既要引导从句又要作从句主语。四个选项中只有D符合条件。
八、同位语结构
同位语考试形式一:名词作主语,主语同位语
___, __ _, ___ (注意是两个逗号)
例1:The tongue , -----, is an important aid in chewing
and swallowing .
(A) is the chief organ of taste
(B) tasting the organ chiefly
(C) the chief organ of taste
(D) the organ chiefly tastes
分析:空格处显然缺定语或同位语。句中已有谓语动词is, 故先排除A和D。(B)不合题意,故也可排除。(C)是名词短语,适合作主语的同位语,使句子完整,句意正确,故选(C)。
同位语考试形式二:名词作主语,后面的名词是主语同位语,解释说明后面的名词
___, ___ (注意是一个逗号)
例2:A prolific writer of prose and verse, ----of
Native Americans in her novel, Century of
Dishonor.
(A) Helen Hunt Jackson took up the cause
(B) the cause taken up by Helen Hunt Jackson
(C) was Helen Hunt Jackson's cause
(D) the cause that Helen Hunt Jackson took up.
分析:空格前为名词短语,空格后为介词短语,空格处明显缺主语和谓语动词。根据空格前名词短语的意思判断,主语应该是人名而不是指物的名词,故选(A)。
例3:Often very annoying weeds ,-----and act as
hosts to many insect pests.
(A) that crowd out less hardy plants than
goldenrods
(B) crowding out less hardy plants by goldenrods
(C) the goldenrod's crowding out of less hardy
plants
(D) goldenrods crowd out less hardy plants
分析:空格后面是and, 句中缺少与and并列的谓语动词。A只有从句没有主句; B,C分别是分词和名词短语, 无法与动词act并列; D 包含主语的同位语goldenrods和谓语动词crowd。
同位语考试形式三:主谓宾后面出现一个名词,那么名词可以作宾语或者表语的同位语
例4:An Olympic marathon is 26 miles and 385
yards, approximately ---- from Marathon to
Athens.
(A) the distance is
(B) that the distance is
(C) is that the distance
(D) the distance
分析:逗号前为完整的句子,后面如果再接句子一定要有连接词或者从句引导词。A、B、C均为主谓结构,但都没有从句引导词,故排除。D是名词短语作表语同位语,故选(D)。
九、比较结构
比较结构中要注意两点:1、倒装性;2、对称性
例1:Western Nebraska generally receives less
snow than ——eastern Nebraska.
(A) does
(B) in
(C) it does in
(D) in it does
分析:than引导比较状语从句,空格后面是个专有名词,肯定是比较从句的主语,空格处明显缺从句的谓语动词,只有(A)符合条件,故选(A)。注意than eastern Nebraska does 是正确的语序,但是原文中使用了倒装;在比较结构的后面部分中,如果比较从句的主语长,谓语动词短,动词可放到主语前面进行到装。
例2: Hot objects emit----- do cold objects.
(A) rays more than infrared
(B) rays are more infrared than
(C) more than infrared rays
(D) more infrared rays than
分析:emit为及物动词,空格处缺宾语和引导比较从句的than, 只有(D)符合条件。注意空格后为倒装形式,do代替emit以避免重复。此题为常考的句子结构。
比较结构中还需要注意相互比较的必须属于同一种事物
例3:The activities of the international marketing
researcher are frequently much broader than ----.
(A) the domestic marketer has
(B) the domestic marketer does
(C) those of the domestic marketer
(D) that which has the domestic marketer
分析:本题还是考查比较句,由于谓语动词是系动词are, 故先排除与其不对应的以has和does结尾的(A)和(B)。选项D则语义不清,也可排除。C中those代替前面提到的activities以避免重复,those一定要具备,因为只有这样才能满足比较的都是activities,谓语动词are因与主句谓语动词相同而被省略,因此C为正确答案。
例4:The annual worth of Utah's manufacturing
is greater than ——.
(A) that of its mining and farming combined
(B) mining and farming combination
(C) that mining and farming combined
(D) of its combination mining and farming
分析:本题为比较句,一般来说,比较的双方应属于同一类事物。句中主语显然是比较的一方,而空格处应是与之相对应的另一方。(B)、(C)、(D)均无法与the annual worth相对应,故可以排除。(A)中代词that代替 the annual worth, 是英语中常见的避免重复的用法,故选(A)。
十、定语从句省略结构
关系代词在定语从句中做宾语时可以省略
例1:Most crocodiles will eat anything----capture
and overpower.
(A) can
(B) they can
(C) which can
(D) and
分析:空格前是个完整句子,空格后是两个并列的及物动词,后面却没有宾语,由此可推断出空格处缺能作从句宾语的从句引导词和从句主语。(A)、(D)没有从句引导词,可首先排除。(C)有从句引导词,也可作从句的宾语,却没有从句主语。正确答案(B)看似没有从句引导词,实际上是省略了引导词that,故选(B)。that they can capture, that引导定语从句在句子中做capture的宾语。
例2:A majority of people in the United States can
get all the calcium their bodies----from the
food they eat.
(A) require
(B) requires
(C) requiring
(D)to require
分析:此题显然缺从句谓语动词,故首先排除(C)和(D)。(B)为第三人称单数形式,与主语bodies相矛盾,故也可排除,因此选择A。
their bodies require from the food they eat是定语从句修饰calcium, 省略了that; 实际上they eat也是定语从句省略了that修饰the food
“介词+名词”在定语从句中做表语时,关系代词和be动词可以同时省略,剩下的形容词短语做名词的后置定语。
例3:To produce one pound of honey , a colony of
A
bees must fly a distance equals to twice around
B C D
the world.
分析:句子中实际上是省略了that is, a distance that is equal to, 因此equals to 应该改为equal to
例4: A neutron star forms when a star much more massive
A B C
than the Sun dies and exploded.
D
分析:句中省略了which is, a star which is much more
十一、状语从句省略结构
Metals expand when they are heated.
Metals expand 是主句;when they are heated 是状语从句。但是这个状语从句中可以省略掉they are, 句子变成:Metals expand when heated. 但是并不是所有的状语从句都可以这么省略。这种省略从句主语的方式理论上需要满足以下两个条件:
第一、从句主语和主句主语必须保持一致;
第二、从句的谓语必须是be动词,主语和be动词同进同出,
比如上面的they和are要么同时省略,要么同时保留。
例1:Although----rigid, bones exhibit a degree of
elasticity that enables the skeleton to withstand
considerable impact.
(A) apparently
(B) are apparently
(C) apparently their
(D) are they apparently
分析:连词although通常引导主谓完整的状语从句,当从句主语与主句主语相同、从句谓语又为系表结构时,则可省略主语和连系动词,故正确答案为(A)。Although apparently rigid = Although bones are apparently rigid, 注意bones和are必须同时省略。
因此,我们从上面的例题中来分析一下填空题中状语从句省略以后的形式:
though, although, even thought, while, If, when等为引导状语从句的词;
这些词后面一定+形容词(分词),主句(注意逗号的后面是主句,前面是从句)
例2:All marble is composed of crystals of the
minerals calcite or dolomite, ----, are perfectly
white.
(A) when, pure which
(B) when, which pure
(C) which, pure when
(D) which, when pure
分析:空格前是个完整的句子,空格后是系表结构,空格处显然缺非限定性定语从句的引导词兼作从句主语。(A)、(B)不引导非限定性定语从句,可首先排除。(C)中的pure和when位置错了,故选(D)。注意when pure是插入语,同时也是省略用法when they are pure;which are perfectly white, 状语从句省略结构,
例3:——relatively costly, the diesel engine
is highly efficient and needs servicing
infrequently
(A) Even
(B) It is
(C) Even though
(D) There is
分析:B和D填入后,都是构成两个主句,不对;Even though则引导状语从句,even though it is, 这里it is 已经省略。
十二、动词ing+名词的复数作主语结构
这是一个比较难的结构,因为许多同学经常混淆动名词和现在分词。
现在分词相当于形容词,和后面的名词是修饰与被修饰的关系;
动名词是相当于具有动词特征的名词,和后面的名词是动宾关系。
那么如何在句子中判断动名词和现在分词呢?我们来看两个例子:
Doing exercises is a good habit. 做练习是一个好习惯。
The starring troops have to surrender.
第一个句子强调的是做,而不是练习,不能说练习是一个好习惯,只能说做练习是一个好习惯,因此do是中心词,它和后面的名词是动宾关系,那么这个do就是动名词;
第二个句子说挨饿的军队必须投降,是军队投降,而不是挨饿要投降,因此中心词是troop,starring是来修饰troop的,因此starring是现在分词。
在“动词ing+名词的复数”作主语结构的句子中,谓语动词是系动词is
例1:——by transferring the blame to others is often
called scapegoating.
(A) Eliminate problems
(B) The eliminated problems(被消除的问题)
(C) Eliminating problems
(D) Problems are eliminated
分析:空格处缺主语。(A)不能作主语,(B)的名词为复数,与后面谓语动词相矛盾,(D)使句子出现两个谓语,故排除。(C)构成动名词短语,可作句中主语,故选(C)。这个题目的意思是通过把责任转嫁给别人,这种消除问题的方式,通常叫做替罪羊。
例2:——wooden buildings helps to protect them
from damage due to weather.
(A) Painting
(B) Painted
(C) The paint
(D) By painting
分析:从谓语动词helps可判断出主语不可能为buildings, 因为主谓语在数上不一致,故空格处缺构成单数的词。四个选项中只有动名词painting符合这一条件,故选(A)。(B)构成复数名词短语,(C)无法与后面的名词连接,(D)构成介词短语,不能作主语,三个选项都可排除。
painted wooden buildings 被油漆的房子,中心词是buildings, 后面help不能用单数
painting wooden buildings油漆房子这件事情,中心词是painting
例3:Scientists think —— helps some tree to
conserve water in the winter.
(A) when losing leaves
(B) leaves are lost
(C) that losing leaves
(D) the leaves losing
分析:这道题目大家都能够选择C, 但是我们必须彻底理解C为什么正确,think that后面是宾语从句。losing是及物动词,丢弃叶子帮助树来保持水分,要注意不是树叶来帮助保持水分,而是丢弃树叶这个动作来保持水分。丢弃叶子是树主动丢弃,因此losing是动名词。
十三、make结构
make结构即为:make +sth.(宾语) +possible+(宾语补足语)
共有三种形式:
make it possible+to do
make it possible+that引导的从句
make possible sth (这个sth一定很长,它后面有一个后置定语)
做题技巧:
如果possible后面有to do 或者that引导的定语从句, 中间一定有it
如果possible后面有名词,中间一定没有it
例1:X-rays are able to pass through objects and
thus make——details that are otherwise
impossible to observe .
(A) it visible
(B) visibly
(C) visible
(D) they are visible
分析:此题考动词make的一种用法,visible后面有名词,因此中间不能有it,选择C;可以看到空格后that引导的是定语从句,visible是宾语补足语,宾语补足语的存在是因为宾语太长了,details是宾语。
例2:Using many symbols makes——to put a large
amount of information on a single map.
(A) possible
(B) it possible
(C) it is possible
(D) that possible
分析:从四个选项可以判断出本题考make的一种惯用法。首先排除明显的错误选项:C为句子,却没有与主句相连的连词,D中that后面应有主语并构成结构完整的从句。 由于后面是动词不定式,因此possible前面一定有it, it作形式宾语,故B正确。
十四、the more …the more…结构
这个结构的意思是“越….越…”,结构一共有三条规则:
1. the more后面的名词必须使用冠词或者所有格, 新题专门考这条规则
2. the more 后面的谓语如果是be动词的话,可以省略,例如上面的例题
3. 第二个the more 后面可以使用倒装,而第一个后面却不行
the more, the more其实是原因状语从句,前面是原因,后面是结果,倒装句中必须是主句倒装,从句绝对不能够倒装。
例1:The stronger——magnet, the greater the
number of lines of magnetic force.
(A) of
(B) the
(C) is the
(D) is of the
分析:本题显然考查”the more … the more…”结构,the more后面的名词必须使用冠词或者所有格,因此只能选择B
例2:The less the surface of the ground yields to the
weight of the body of a runner, ——to the body.
(A) the stress it is greater
(B) greater is the stress
(C) greater stress is
(D) the greater the stress
分析:正确答案为D。此题考the more … the more句型,只有D符合这一句型的要求,故选D。
十五、表示结果的伴随状语结构
主谓宾完整的句子后面,如果出现两个词,thereby或者thus, 那么这两个词后面必须使用现在分词,表示“从而怎么样”的意思,这便是表示结果的伴随状语结构。但是必须注意并不是thus后面就是加doing,必须是前面一个完整的句子才对。
例1:A microphone enables a soft tone to beamplified ,
A B
thus making it possible the gentle
C
renditions of romantic love songs in a large hall.
D
分析:Possible后面有名词,那么it应该去掉,thus后面表示结果的伴随状语从句,表示从而使得歌曲演唱成为可能。
例2:The Smithsonian Institution preserves more
than sixty-five million items of scientific,
historical, or artistic interest, ——winning the
popular title, “attic of the nation.”
(A) however
(B) thus
(C) and
(D) moreover
分析:逗号前面是个完整的句子,逗号后面是现在分词短语作状语表示结果。四个选项中只有thus一词可直接放在现在分词前面,故选B。thus 副词,修饰分词winning, 伴随状语
例3: Snow aids farmers by keeping heat in the
lower ground levels, thereby——from freezing.
(A) to save the seeds
(B) saving the seeds
(C)which saves the seeds
(D) the seeds saved
分析:thereby和to有意思重复,所以不能够选择(A), 后面应该跟现在分词,答案为B
十六、形容词最高级省略结构
The crane is the tallest bird of the wading birds.
最高级后面的名词与范围名词重复,可以省略,句子变为The crane is the tallest of the wading birds.
例1:The crane is——of the wading birds.
(A) the tallest
(B) the tallest that is
(C) which is the tallest
(D) which the tallest is
分析:空格前是主语和谓语,空格后是of引导的介词短语,空格处明显缺作表语的名词或名词短语。四个选项中只有(A)使句子结构完整,语义清楚,故选(A)。
例2:. Cows are said to be the least intelligently of
A B C
domestic animals.
D
分析:改为形容词,intelligent,intelligently为副词,不能作表语。
十七、规则动词过去分词作定语结构
这里的规则动词指的是过去式和过去分词一样,导致考生看不出句子结构,比如:
program, programmed, programmed
因此判断这个词是过去式还是过去分词就显得比较重要:
第一步:从逻辑上判断这个动作是主动还是被动
第二步:如果是被动的话,做谓语前面一定有系动词be
例1:——Wupatki National Monument in Arizona
features structures built of red sandstone by
ancestors of the Hopi people.
(A) That the
(B) In the
(C) Around the
(D) The
分析:空格后是结构完整的句子,空格处显然缺定冠词the 修饰主语,故选D。A中that引导主语从句,使整个句子变成从句而无主句,B、C构成介词短语,使句子缺主语,故排除。句子中的built是过去分词。
例2:Antibodies ——by small, round cells called
lymphocytes and plasma cells.
(A) to be made
(B) making
(C) made
(D) are made
分析:空格前为名词作主语,空格后是介词by引导的动作执行者,called是过去分词作定语,所以句子缺谓语,故选D。A、B、C均为非谓语动词,故排除。
例3:Automatons programmed to perform a given
task ------the flexibility and adaptability of
human beings.
(A) without
(B) lack
(C) minus
(D) not having
分析:programmed在句中是过去分词作名词后置修饰语,空格处缺谓语动词。四个选择答案中只有(B)是可作谓语的动词,故选(B)。
B, programmed是一个定语,而不是谓语
机器人被编制程序,所以是过去分词,而不是谓语动词
十八、逻辑主语结构
在一个完整的句子前面出现现在分词、过去分词、或者介词短语,那么这个句子的主语是前面这三种结构逻辑上的主语。
例1:Having been served lunch, ——.
(A) the problem was discussed by the members
of the committee
(B) the committee members discussed the
problem
(C) it was discussed by the committee
members the problem
(D) a discussion of the problem was make by
the members of the committee
分析:Having been served lunch指被招待了午饭,那么只可能是委员会的成员被招待,而不可能是问题,所以选择B
例2:——was not incorporated as a city until
almost two centuries later, in 1834.
(A) Settling Brooklyn, the Dutch
(B) The Dutch settled Brooklyn
(C) Brooklyn was settled by the Dutch
(D) Settled by the Dutch, Brooklyn
分析:空格后面是谓语和状语,空格处缺主语。Brooklyn表示人或者Dutch表示地方做主语,但是从as a city可知,主语不是人名,而是地名,由此首先排除A。B、C均是句子,不合要求。D符合句法和题意。
例3:At thirteen ——- at a district school near her
home, and when she was fifteen , she saw her
first article in print.
(A) the first teaching position that Mary Jane
Hawes had
(B) the teaching position was Mary Jane
Hawe's first
(C) when Mary Jane Hawes had her first
teaching position
(D) Mary Jane Hawes had her first teaching
position
分析:从并列连词and 可知,第一个逗号前是一个完整的句子,空格处缺主谓结构,而且主语是一个人名。四个选项中只有D以人名作主语,故选D。
例4: Even at low levels, ——.
(A) the nervous system has produced
detrimental effects by lead
(B) lead's detrimental effects are producing the
nervous system
(C) lead produces detrimental effects on the
nervous system
(D) the detrimental effects produced by lead on
the nervous system
分析:空格前为介词短语状语,空格处缺一个完整的句子。A、B结构上似乎完整,但意思不清,D不是完整的句子,故选C。
例5:The chorus plays a large part in any oratorio, linking
A B C
areas were sung by soloists with segments of choral music.
D
分析:应该把D中的were去掉
十九、复合宾语结构
有些及物动词+宾语后意思表达不完整,需要再加形容词或者名词来补充说明宾语被叫做不完全及物动词,该形容词或者名词叫做宾语补足语。宾语加补足语叫做复合宾语。当宾语和宾补由主动语态变为被动语态,分别变为主语和主补。
We played soccer.
We called him Bob. Bob在这里作宾语补足语
He was called Bob. Bob在这里作主语补足语
下面列出了一些经常要求使用宾补的动词
make, consider, call, elect, appoint,
例:We appoint him monitor.
We elected him president.
例1:Poodles were once used as retrievers in duck
hunting , but the American Kennel Club does not
consider them ——because they are now primarily
kept as pets.
(A) where sporting dogs
(B) sporting dogs
(C) when sporting dogs
(D) they are sportingdogs
分析:选择B, them是宾语,sporting dogs宾补
二十、It结构
一、强调句型
It is + 强调部分+that +其余部分
这个句型需要注意几点:
强调部分+其余部分是一个完整的句子;
强调部分可以强调主语、宾语和状语,不能强调谓语和定语;
强调人使用who或者that, 其他的只能用that (即使是时间和地点),who 和that绝对不能省略
如果原句是过去时态,强调句型使用it was.,例如:
原句: Ann bought these books last year.
强调宾语:It was these books that Ann bought last year.
强调状语:It was last year that Ann bought these books.
二、形式主语
It is + 名词/形容词+ to do/that 引导的句子
to do/that 引导的句子是真正的主语,it 是形式主语,这是为了避免头重脚轻。
例1:It is the interaction between people , rather than
A B
the events that occur in their lives , that are
C
the main focus of social psychology.
D
分析:Rather than …是插入语,主句是强调句型, it is …that, 主语是interaction, 所以是is
例2: ——an increasing international exchange of
educational films.
(A) It is
(B) There is
(C) Though there is
(D) Although it is
分析:缺少主谓,选择B, it 用在句子的句首,只可能作强调句型或者形式主语。空格后是一个名词短语,只有B与之构成完整的句子。A语义不完整,C、D则使整个句子成了让步从句而缺主句,故都可排除。
二十一、which 引导的定语从句结构
which是关系代词,which后面应该加缺主语或者宾语的句子,
在这个句子中,which要作成分,作主语或者宾语
in which+完整的句子
which在定语从句中作in的宾语,所以不能作后面句子的主语
名词+of which+谓语动词
of which来修饰名词,名词在定语从句中作主语,所以后面直接跟谓语动词
例1:In blank verse——of ten syllables, five of
which are accented.
(A) line consists of each
(B) consists of each line
(C) each line consists
(D) it consists of each line
分析:空格前后均为介词词组,逗号后为非限定性定语从句,空格处缺主句主谓成分。A单数名词line前没有限定词,而且语义不清,B没有主语,D中it 指代不明,所以选C。
five of which are accented表示其中五个要被重读,of which修饰five, 十个中的五个
例2:The spiral threads of spider's web have a
sticky substance on them ------ insects.
(A) traps
(B) trap its
(C) which traps
(D) which it traps
分析:空格前为完整的主谓结构,后面是一个名词,A和B显然不能与前面的谓语动词并列,故可以首先排除。D中的代词it明显是多余的,故也不对。C为正确选项,其中关系代词which指代前面的名词短语a sticky substance。网上有粘状的物质来诱捕昆虫。
例3:Traditionally, ethnographers and linguists
have paid little attention to cultural
A
interpretations given to silence, or to the types of
B C
social contexts in which tends to occur.
D
分析:D错,in which后面跟完整句子。In which it, it 指代silence, or to 和第二行的to并列
例4:After the First World War, the author Anais Nin
became interested in the art movement
known as Surrealism and in psychoanalysis,
both ——her novels and short stories.
(A) in which the influence
(B) of which influenced
(C) to have influence
(D) its influence in
分析:第二个逗号前为结构完整的句子,A中有从句引导词which, 却没有谓语动词,构成不了完整的句子。C中最后一个词为名词,无法与后面的名词短语连接,D构成名词短语,不合题意,而且名词influence一般接介词on, 故三个选项都可排除。B构成一个非限定性定语从句,故选B。
