英語專四常考語法知識點(6)

字號:


    六、in that結(jié)構(gòu)
    在表示“原因”概念的引導詞中,because of +名詞,consequently是副詞而“in that”是原因狀語的引導詞。
    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,空格處顯然缺從句引導詞。C、D不能引導從句,可以首先排除。根據(jù)題意,兩個句子之間是因果關(guān)系而不是對比關(guān)系,故選(B)。in that為復合連詞,用來引導原因狀語從句。
    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:空格處缺從句引導詞和從句主語。A和B缺從句引導詞,首先被排除。C一般作賓語從句或定語從句,而句中需要的是狀語從句,故也排除。D中in that為連詞,引導表原因的狀語從句,符合題意(氣墊船之所以不同,是因為……),故選(D)
    這里我們再重申一下,如果選項中出現(xiàn)“介詞+which”或者“in that”,那么首先考慮這個選項,如果后面使用的是完整的句子結(jié)構(gòu),那么這個選項就一定是答案。這種題目平時出現(xiàn)的不多,但是要考的話一定就是重點。
    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:首先看選項C, “介詞+which”, 而后面是she drew great inspiration for her poems.是一個完整句子,那么選項(C)就是答案。
