2021考研英语：独立主格结构的语法赏析
语法是考研英语的基础，这部分在研究生英语考试中不再单独考查，但是语法知识贯穿在整个英语考卷的各个题型中。 完型填空题会直接考查语法知识;阅读理解题和英译汉中有大量的长难句，这些句子只有具备一定的语法知识才能正确分析;作文中要写出正确无误的句子，也需要语法知识。这部分基础如果欠缺，其它的综合能力提高起来将会很慢，所以所有考生都务必重视考研语法的复习。
独立主格结构由名词或代词加上其他成分(分词、不定式、名词、代词、形容词、副词或介词短语)构成。
独立主格结构没有主语和谓语，所以在语法上不是句子。但多有名词或代词表示的逻辑主语，分词或不定式表示的逻辑谓语，有时还有其他修饰成分。(判断一个结构是否是句子的标准就是看看这个结构是否有谓语动词。)这种结构通常在句子中起方式、时间、原因、条件等状语或状语从句的作用，主要用于书面语。使用动词非谓语形式的独立主格结构可以改为句子形式(从句):独立主格结构加上连词，非谓语动词改为谓语动词形式，这样就成为从句了。
例如:
Today being Sunday, the library isn\' t open.今天星期天，图书馆不开放。
(原因)改为从句:
As (Since) today is Sunday, the library isn\' t open.
例如:
There being no buses，we had to take a taxi. 没有汽车了，我们只好坐出租车了。
Because there were no buses, we had to take a taxi.
The signal given，the bus started.信号发出后，公共汽车就启动了。
(时间)改为从句:
After the signal was given, the bus started.
The boy followed that man here，and climbed in，sword in hand.少年跟那个人到这里，并爬了进来，手里拿着剑。
The boy followed that man here，and climbed in，and had a sword in his hand.
The mid-term examination is over, the end-of-term examination to come two months later.期中考试结束了，两个月之后进行期末考试.
The mid-term examination is over, and the end-of-term examination is to come two months later.
Weather permitting, we\' 11 visit the Great Wall.如果天气允许的话，我们就去参观长城。
If weather permits, we\' 11 visit the Great Wall.
The boy followed that man here, and climbed in, sword in hand.少年跟那个人到这里，并爬了进来，手里拿着剑。(伴随状语)
上文例句中sword in hand是由“名词+介词短语”构成，表示伴随的情况。这种表示伴随情的独立主格结构，有时可以用with
引出，二者的意思是一样的，with结构更加口语话，更加常用。
She left the office with tears in her eyes.她眼里含着泪水，离开了办公室。
The teacher walked into the classroom, with a ruler under his arm and some books in his hand.老师胳膊底下挟着一把尺子，手里拿着几本书，走进了教室。
The teacher walked into the classroom. He was holding a ruler under his arm and some books in his hand.
Tian\' anmen Square looks magnificent with all the lights on.华灯齐放，天安门广场显得美丽动人。
With the boy leading the way, we found his house with no difficulty.由这孩子领路，我们毫不费劲地找到他的家。
With him to give us a lead, our team is bound to turn out well.有他给我们带头，我们对一定能搞好。

2021考研英语知识点：名词性从句的语法解析
语法是考研英语的基础，这部分在研究生英语考试中不再单独考查，但是语法知识贯穿在整个英语考卷的各个题型中。 完型填空题会直接考查语法知识;阅读理解题和英译汉中有大量的长难句，这些句子只有具备一定的语法知识才能正确分析;作文中要写出正确无误的句子，也需要语法知识。这部分基础如果欠缺，其它的综合能力提高起来将会很慢，所以所有考生都务必重视考研语法的复习。在主从复合句中，从句可以充当主句的主语、表语、宾语或同位语。由于在多数情况下，主语、表语、宾语或同位语这四种句子成分由名词性词类充当，所以，我们把这些作用相当于名词的从句统称为名词性从句，把充当主语、表语、宾语或同位语的从句分别称为主语从句、表语从句、宾语从句或同位语从句。也就是说充当什么成分就叫什么从句。名词性从句由连接词(或关联词)引导。
常用的连接词有：
| 连接词 | 作用 |
| whether是否 that（本身无词义） | 只起连接词作用，引导从句，在从句中不作任何成分 在从句中分别作主语、宾语和定语 |
| who，whom，whose which哪一个 what什么，所…的 | 在从句中分别作主语、宾语和定语 在从句中分别作主语、宾语和定语 除了起连接词作用外，还在从句中作状语 |
| when什么时候，where什么地方 how怎样，怎么，why为什么 |
疑问词(who, whom, whose, what, which, where, why, when, how)可以引导主语、宾语和表语从句。
它们的特点是：1、疑问词有本身的词义;2、疑问词在从句中担当句子成分，如主语、宾语或状语;3、这种疑问词引导的从句一律用陈述语序，不能用疑问语序。
For example:
Do you know whom they are looking for? 你知道他们在找谁吗?(宾语从句，陈述语序。不能是whom are they looking for?)
I don’t know who did it. 我不知道这是谁干的。(宾语从句。在从句中如果疑问词作主语，其陈述语序和疑问语序一致。)
She asked me where I had been. 她问我到哪儿去了。(宾语从句。陈述语序，不能是where had I been. 直接引语，间接引语。注意这句话的时态。)
Can you tell me when the train will arrive? 你能告诉我火车什么时候到吗?(宾语从句。陈述语序，不能是when will the train arrive. 直接引语，间接引语。)
I don’t know why he hasn’t come yet. 我不知道他为什么还没来。(宾语从句，陈述语序。不能是why hasn’t he come yet.)
He didn’t tell me what you were doing. 他没和我说你在干什么。(宾语从句，陈述语序。不能是what were you doing.)
What you have done might do harm t other people. 你所做过的事情有可能伤害别人。(主语从句。what 作从句的宾语。陈述语序，不能是what have you done. 如果用疑问语序，意思发生了变化，成了“你做了什么?”。)
I don’t know where he is now. 我不知道他现在在哪里。(宾语从句，陈述语序。不能是where is he now.)
Where he went for his weekend is not known. 不知道他去哪里过的周末。(主语从句，where 作从句的地点状语。陈述语序，不能是where did he go for his weekend.)
Whose fault this is is not important. 这是谁的过错并不重要。(主语从句，whose 作从句的定语。陈述语序，不能是whose fault is this.)
What I want to know is where he has gone for his weekend. 我想知道的是他到哪里度周末去了。(这句话包含两个名词性从句：what I want to know是主语从句，what 在从句中作宾语，从句用陈述语序，不能是What do I want to know. Where he has gone for his weekend 是表语从句，where 在从句中作状语，从句用陈述语序，不能是where has he gone for his weekend.)
下面分述主语从句、宾语从句、同位语从句和表语从句。
A主语从句
1.that 引导主语从句时，that 没有意义，但不能省略。(that 引导宾语从句时可以省略。)
For example:
It worried her a bit that her hair was turning gray. 她的头发正在变白，这使她很不安。that引导主语从句，it 作形式主语，that 不能省略。
That she is a rich woman is known to us all. 众所周知，她是个富有的女人。这是that 引导主语从句，that 不能省略。这句话可以改为用it 作形式主语的句型。请同学们改写：It is known to us all that she is a rich woman.)
We didn’t know (that) you had sold your house. 我们不知道你已经把你的房子卖了。这是that引导宾语从句，that 可以省略。注意这句话的时态。
2.从句作主语时，多数情况下由 it 作形式主语，而把主语从句放在后面，尤其是谓语部分(包括宾语)较短的情况下。
For example:
It wasn’t very clear what she meant. 不清楚她是什么意思。
It is important that he should come on time. 他按时来是很重要的。
It is true that that man on the left is a well-known writer here. 左边那个人是本地的一位著名作家，这是真的。这里，第一个that 引导主语从句，是单纯的连词，无词义，不作句子成分。第二个that 是指示代词，作句子成分，是man 的定语。
3.whether 既可以引导主语从句也可以引导宾语从句，但if不能引导主语从句。whether 后面可以加or not, 而if 不能与or not 连用。作介词宾语时不用if.
For example:
Whether I knew John doesn’t matter. = It doesn’t matter whether I knew John. 我是否认识约翰没有关系。
Whether or not she’ll come isn’t clear. = Whether she’ll come or not isn’t clear. = It isn’t clear whether …. 她是否来还不清楚。
It all depends on whether we can get their cooperation. 这是主语从句还是宾语从句?it 是形式主语吗?it 是代词，whether 引导的是宾语从句，作介词on 的宾语，不能用if引导。请翻译这句话。这完全取决于我们是否能得到他们的合作。
I worry about whether I hurt her feelings. 宾语从句，介词宾语，不能用if 引导。请翻译这句话。
She asked me whether/if you were married. 宾语从句，既可以用whether, 又可以用if 引导。注意时态的对应。请翻译这句话。
We haven’t decided whether/if we shall give them aid.
I’m not sure whether/if the report is believable.
Now let’s do some translation:
现在还很难测谁会赢得下一届总统选举。
It is still hard to predict who will win the next presidential election.
对于多数公民来说，谁当选总统无关紧要。
Who will become the president doesn’t matter much to most citizens.
这位前总统是否会被判处死刑还有待观察。It remains to be seen whether the ex-president will be sentenced to death.
真可惜，王教授不能出席我们的英语晚会。
It is a pity that Prof. Wang can’t attend our English Evening.
我们需要的是更多的时间。
What we need is more time.
B宾语从句
宾语从句
在谓语动词、介词、动词不定式、分词、动名词之后都可以带有宾语从句。某些形容词如sure, happy, glad, certain, pleased 等之后也可以带有宾语从句。
1.that 引导的宾语从句: that 没有意义，在口语或非正式文体中常省略：如：
I really feel she’s making a mistake. 我的确感到她正犯错误。
James said (that) he was feeling better. 詹姆斯说他感到好些了。
Hearing that his son was badly wounded, he hurried to the hospital to see him. 听说儿子受了重伤，他急忙赶到医院去看望他。
I suggested that we should go home. 我建议我们回家去。虚拟语气，that 一般不能省略。
2.whether/if (是否)引导的宾语从句：如果要突出“究竟是…还是不…”，常在whether 后面加or not; if 一般不与or not连用。如：
He asked me if/whether I knew John. 他问我是否认识约翰。
Let me know whether you can come or not. 你能来还是不能来，告诉我一声。
3.在think, believe, suppose, expect 等动词的宾语从句中，否定不用在从句中，而是将think 等词变为否定形式。
For example:
I don’t think the film is interesting. 我觉得这部电影没什么意思。
I don’t suppose we are going outing tomorrow. 我认为我们明天不会出去郊游。
4.如果从句作宾语而后面还有补语，为了保持句子的平衡，用it 作形式宾语，而将宾语从句放在句尾。常跟这样的复合宾语的动词有：make, find, see, hear, feel, think, consider, regard, take….for granted等。如：
George made it clear that he opposed this project. 乔治已明确表示他反对这个项目。it 代表that 引导的句子，作宾语，clear 是宾语补足语。
They kept it quiet that he was dead. 对他已经死亡的消息，他们秘而不宣。
I took it for granted that you’d stay with us. 我想当然认为你会和我们呆在一起。
C 同位语从句
同位语从句是对名词的内容给予具体、详细的说明。常在后面接同位语从句的名词有fact, news, idea, truth, hope, suggestion, question, problem, doubt, fear, belief等。同位语从句常用的引导词为that,有是也用when, where 等疑问词。如：
The news that the United States was hit by terrorist attacks took the whole world by surprise. 美国受到恐怖主义分子袭击的消息令全世界吃惊。
The idea that you can do this work well without thinking is quite wrong. 你认为不动脑筋就能做好这件工作的想法是完全错误的。

The difficulty lies in the fact that we are short of money. 困难在于我们缺乏资金这个事实。
They have no idea at all where he has gone. 他们一点儿也不知道他去哪儿了。
注意：同位语从句的that 只是引导词，没有其他语法作用，在句子中不作句子成分，不能省略;而定语从句中的that 除了引导定语从句外，还是定语从句的一个成分，在定语从句中作主语或宾语，作主语时不能省略，作宾语时可以省略。如：
The idea that some peoples are superior to others is sheer nonsense. 有些民族优越于其他民族这种想法简直荒谬。(请辨别是同位语从句还是定语从句。)(同位语从句)
The idea that he proposed at the meeting is sheer nonsense. 他在会议上提出的这个想法简直荒谬。(请辨别是同位语从句还是定语从句。)(定语从句)

No one is happy with the fact that he will become their boss. 没有人对他将成为他们的老板这一事实感到高兴。(请辨别是同位语从句还是定语从句。)(同位语从句)
D表语从句
表语从句位于主句的连系动词之后，在非正式文体中引导词that可以省略。如：
That’s not what I want. 那不是我要的。
That’s why I have come. 那就是我为什么来了。
My opinion is that things will improve. 我的意见是事情会好起来的。

What I want to know is where we shall go and whether she will join us. 我想知道的是我们要去什么地方以及她是否加入我们。
表语从句位于主句的连系动词之后，在非正式文体中引导词that可以省略。如：
The fact is that he didn’t notice the car until too late. 事实是他注意到车时已经太晚了。
What surprised me was that he spoke English so well. 使我感到吃惊的是他英语讲得那么好。
All I can say is that I have nothing to do with it. 我能说的就是我与此事没有关系。
What I want to know is where we shall go and whether she will join us. 我想知道的是我们要去什么地方以及她是否加入我们。
此外，表语从句还可由as if (好像)引导。如：

Now let’s do some translation:
这就是她昨天请一天假的原因。
That is why she had a day off yesterday.
我的想法是，个人的权利应该得到充分尊重。

问题在于上帝是否真的存在。
The question is whether the God really exists.
我想知道的是，他是如何在这么短的时间内完成这个项目的。
What I want to know is how he managed to complete the project in such a short time.
形容词后的that 从句
that 引导的名词性从句还可以用在一些形容词后面。这种句型一般都用人作主语，所用的形容词都是表示思想状况或感情色彩的形容词，如certain, sure, positive, afraid, convinced, anxious, disappointed, worried, glad, happy, sorry, amazed, surprised, aware, doubtful, confident等等。如：
I am sure/certain that he’s at home now. 我肯定他现在在家。

what 从句的小结
1.意思是“所….的事/物”, 相当于the thing(s) that…, that which…, 或those which… 可以用于以下情况：
(1) 引导主语从句。如：

(3) 引导宾语从句，包括介词宾语。如：
He could not express what he felt. 他不能表达他的感受。
Well, I’ll do what I can. 好吧，我尽力。
I can’t do what you’ve just asked of me. 我不能做你刚才要求我的事。

2021考研英语知识点：状语从句的语法解析
语法是考研英语的基础，这部分在研究生英语考试中不再单独考查，但是语法知识贯穿在整个英语考卷的各个题型中。 完型填空题会直接考查语法知识;阅读理解题和英译汉中有大量的长难句，这些句子只有具备一定的语法知识才能正确分析;作文中要写出正确无误的句子，也需要语法知识。这部分基础如果欠缺，其它的综合能力提高起来将会很慢，所以所有考生都务必重视考研语法的复习。
作为考研英语中常考的三大从句之一，状语从句的考频很高，是考研英语各题型考查的重点。状语从句根据意义和作用可分为时间状语从句、让步状语从句、条件状语从句、原因状语从句、目的状语从句、结果状语从句、地点状语从句等，而且每类状语从句又可以由多种连词引导，因此状语从句的类型容易混淆。所以，对于状语从句的学习，重点在于掌握引导状语从句的各种连词的用法特点和意义，并且能够正确区分同一连词的不同用法。
一、要点精析
状语从句由从属连词引导，与主句连接，该连词直接表明主句和从句之间的逻辑关联。而常见的一些连词可引导不同的状语从句，这在一定程度上给考生理解文章带来了很大的困难，针对这个问题，对这一类连词进行以下梳理。
（1）连词as引导状语从句
1、引导时间状语从句：as表示“当……时候”，“与……同时”，“随着”
例：As time goes on, he will understand what I said.
随着时间的推移，他会理解我所讲的话。
2、引导让步状语从句：as表示“尽管/虽然”，且必须倒装，规则为：从句结尾的名词(不带冠词)、动词原形、形容词或者副词置于从句开头。
例：Much as I like you, I couldn’t live with you.
我尽管很喜欢你，却不能和你在一起生活。
3、引导原因状语从句：as表示“因为”，所表达的原因语气较弱。
例：As the weather is so bad, we have to delay our journey.
因为天气太糟糕，我们不得不推迟旅行。
4、引导方式状语从句：as表示“以……方式”，“像……一样”，“正如”。
例：I cook the dish as my mother does.
我像我妈妈那样烹饪这道菜。
（2）连词since引导状语从句
1、引导时间状语从句：since表示“自从……以来”
例：It’s been years since I enjoyed myself so much as last night.
我已经好多年没有像昨晚那么痛快了。
2、引导原因状语从句：since表示“因为”，“既然”，表达说话者认为已成为事实的原因。
例：Since we’ve no moneywe can’t buy a new car.
因为我们没钱，我们不能买新汽车。
（3）连词while引导状语从句
1、引导时间状语从句：while表示“与……同时;与此同时”，表明从句和主句的动作同时发生或进行，并且常有相反或者对比的语气。
例：While computers offer these conveniences to consumers, they have many advantages for sellers too.
电脑给消费者提供了这些便利的同时，对销售者而言也有很多好处。
2、引导让步状语从句：while表示“尽管”，“虽然”，义同although或though。
例：While I admit that there are problems, I don’t agree that they cannot be solved.
尽管我承认有问题存在，但我不同意说这些问题无法解决。
四、连词so that引导状语从句;与so…that进行区分
1、引导结果状语从句：so that表示“因此”，“以至于”。
例：Nothing more was heard from him so that we began to wonder if he was dead.
再也没听到他的消息，因此我们有些怀疑他是否死了。
2、引导目的状语从句：so that表示“为了”，“以便于”。
例：She worked hard so that everything would be ready by 6 o’clock.
她拼命干以便能到6点时把一切都准备好。
3、与so…that进行区分：so/ such...that...引导的结果状语从句：表示“如此……以至于……”
例：We get so used to looking at television that it begins to dominate our lives.
我们习惯于看电视，以至于电视开始支配我们的生活。
二、试题体验
1.A variety of activities should be organized so that participants can remain active as long as they want. [2003,完型]
分析：
A.分析句子结构。主句是被动结构，a variety of activities是主语，be organized是谓语;so that引导目的状语从句，participants can remain active是从句主句，as long as they want意思是“尽可能长时间地”。
B.译文：应该组织各种各样的活动，以便于参与者能够尽可能长时间地保持活跃。
2. There are upsetting parallels today, as scientists in one wave after another try to awaken us to the growing threat of global warming. [2005, text 2]
分析：
A.分析句子结构。该句的主句是There are upsetting parallels today，是there be句型，主语是upsetting parallels;as scientists in one wave after … threat of global warming是as引导的时间状语从句，as表示“当/在……时候”，主语是scientists，谓语动词是try。
B.译文：在科学家一次又一次努力使我们意识到日益增长的全球变暖威胁的时候，今天还有许多类似的令人不安的事情。
