一些中学英语易混结构分析(二)
7. To get an education , _______________ .
A. one must work hard B. what you need is to work hard
C. working hard is needed
不定式作状语放在句首,动作的执行者应当是句子的主语。换言之,当不定式放在句首时,句子的主语应能做不定式动作的执行者。此题选项中只有A项中的one 能做get 的执行者。One get an education,… ;What you need和working hard 都不能做get 的执行者。
8. Thirty-three people were already dead in a traffic accident ; __________ .
A. twelve being old men
B. twelve of them were old men
C. twelve of whom were old men
D. twelve were old men
此题中的分号(;)很重要,后一部分起进一步说明作用。正确选项为B。如果换成逗号 的话,则选择C,理解为定语从句。
9. Was it during the Second World War ________ he died ?
A. that B. during which time C. in which D. when
It 作代词 表示时间或地点与关系副词when 、where引导的定语从句或强调结构相混。此题应当填A,为强调结构,但有好多学生选择C或D,把句子看成定语从句,其实判断强调结构并不难,把强调结构it is (was)…that ( who )…去掉,如果剩下的部分句子结构完整,说明就是强调结构,如果不完整说明是从句。此句去掉强调结构句子成为during the Second World War he died (变为正常词序 He died during the Second World War ) 句子结构完整,说明此句为强调结构。此句如果把during 一词去掉 ,句意就变了,it was the Second World War .it 作代词,表示时间,意思为:时间是第二次世界大战,横线处应当填 when 或in which 。又如:
It was evening ______ he went to the office .
A. when B. that 此句选择A,如果evening 换成in the evening ,则选择B。
10. Hardly had she seen her father _________ she ran to him .
A. than B. when C. as D. that
此句是倒装句,往往与 that 从句相混,应注意hardly 与 when 连用。
