2007年12月英語六級短文改錯(二十六)

字號:

本期重點:特殊句型(強(qiáng)調(diào)句、倒裝句、省略句)
    考點例析:
    例1:Animation(動畫)means making things which are lifeless come
    Alive and move. Since earliest times, people have always been fascinated by
    movement. But not until this century we managed to capture movement, _______
    to record it, and in the case of animation, to reinterpret it and recreate it.
    解析:狀語not until…提前,后面的主句主謂倒裝,根據(jù)上下文和謂語managed可推斷該句應(yīng)為完成時。故在we 前加have。
    拓展:部分倒裝是指將謂語的一部分如助動詞或情態(tài)倒裝至主語之前。如果句中的謂語沒有助動詞或情態(tài)動詞,則需添加助動詞 do, does 或 did ,并將其置于主語之前。
    句首為否定或半否定的詞語,如 no, not, never, seldom, little, hardly, at no time, in no way, not until... 等。
    EX1. Never have I seen such a performance.
    EX2. Nowhere will you find the answer to this question.
    EX3. Not until the child fell asleep did the mother leave the room.
     當(dāng) Not until 引出主從復(fù)合句,主句倒裝,從句不倒裝。
    以否定副詞開頭并加狀語的句子要求部分倒裝。這些否定副詞有barely, hardly, little, seldom, , never, no sooner…… than, rarely, no more, nor nearly, Not only...but also, Hardly/ Scarcely ...when, No sooner... than等以及only
    EX1. Not only did he refuse the gift, he also severely criticized the sender.
    EX2. Hardly had she gone out when a student came to visit her.
    EX3. No sooner had she gone out than a student came to visit her.
    例2:It is Western health-care system which are spending huge sums of ______
    money on the surgical treatment of the disease.
    解析:這個是It is …that…強(qiáng)調(diào)句。無論后面的從句缺少什么成分,都只能用that來引導(dǎo)并且不能省略(如果強(qiáng)調(diào)部分是人時,可以用who)。故將which改為that。
    例3:The boy wanted to play football in the street, but his mother told him not. ________
    解析:這個是省略句,完整為The boy wanted to play football in the street, but his mother told him not to play football in the street。動詞不定式的省略:在動詞不定式結(jié)構(gòu)中,為了避免重復(fù),常常省略不定式結(jié)構(gòu)中的動詞原形,只保留to。所以應(yīng)該在not后加個to。
    鞏固與拓展
    1.It is in front of the religious leader who the bride and groom stand ________
    together to be married.
    2.It shames me to say it, but I told a lie when questioning at the meeting _______
    by my boss.
    3. In no country other than Britain one experience four seasons in the ________
    course of a single day.
    4. She lost both her arms while was an infant when her mother,in a vert _________
    agitated state, damaged her limbs beyond repair.

    參考答案及解析:
    鞏固與拓展
    1. who -> that
    本題強(qiáng)調(diào)的是狀語in front of the religious leader,故引導(dǎo)詞只能用that,并且不能省略。本題句意是:新郎、新娘通常就是一起站在宗教頭領(lǐng)面前舉行結(jié)婚。
    2. questioning -> questioned
    這句when后省略了I was。
    3. one前加can
    帶有否定含義的狀語In no country提前,主謂要倒裝。這句話it had been said是插入語成分,主語和謂語分別是one和 experience,所以要在one前加can。這句話的意思是:除了英國之外沒有一個國家能在一天內(nèi)經(jīng)歷4個季節(jié)。
    4. was -> / 或was前加she
    while從句完整的應(yīng)該是while she was an infant。根據(jù)英語中的省略規(guī)則,主從句主語一致、從句謂語包含be動詞時,可以省略從句的主語和be動詞,而不可以只省略主語。
    5. he前加did
    當(dāng)only修飾的狀語提前時,主句的主謂要倒裝。故在he前加did。注:如果only修飾的是主語時,主謂不用倒裝,例如:Only my sister can do this job.
