英語四級改錯題??家c(diǎn)-代詞

字號:

一、代詞
    代詞中主要講解六個問題
    (一) 掌握代詞的幾種格
     主格、賓格、所有格
     名詞前面用代詞來修飾,只能用所有格(my books)
    (二) 反身代詞
    當(dāng)主語和賓語表示同一事物時,賓語使用反身代詞。
    He killed himself. (他自殺了)
    He killed him. (他殺了他)
    例:Researchers at the University of Colorado are investigating 
     A                 B   
    a series of indicators that could help
            C     
    themselves to predict earthquakes.
     D
    分觶篋錯,應(yīng)改為them。如果用反身代詞themselves,指代對象是從句主語that(即名詞indicators),這顯然是錯誤的。從句意來看,help的賓語應(yīng)該是主句主語researchers,故應(yīng)用代詞賓格而不是反身代詞。注意C并沒有錯,情態(tài)動詞could 比can語氣弱,表示較小的可能性。
    Indicator為征兆,這些征兆幫助他們來預(yù)言地震。主語是征兆,后面指研究者,不是同一個事物
    (三) 代詞的單復(fù)數(shù),代詞的性別
    在考試中如果代詞打橫線,代詞錯誤的概率是非常高的,因此代詞打橫線,應(yīng)該先看代詞有沒有錯。
    例:The continental divide refers to an imaginary line in the North American Rockies
    that divides the waters flowing into the Atlantic Ocean from it flowing into the
    A   B      C          D
    Pacific.
    分析:D錯,應(yīng)改為those。D指代復(fù)數(shù)名詞waters, it是單數(shù),顯然是錯誤的,根據(jù)習(xí)慣故改為those。注意waters一詞并沒有錯,它指江湖河海中的大片水域,可用復(fù)數(shù)形式。
    Water作為水是不可數(shù)名詞,waters表示水域,通常使用復(fù)數(shù)形式,作主語謂語動詞用復(fù)數(shù)。
    Work作為工作是不可數(shù)名詞,work作為作品,可數(shù)不可數(shù)都可以,例如:
     Many of his works= much of his work, work都表示作品
    例:In 1920 the presidential candidate Warren Harding coined
                      A 
    the word “normalcy” to express social and
            B
     economic conditions they promised the nation.
    C       D
    分析:D錯,應(yīng)改為he。動作promised是由Warren Harding發(fā)出來的,故用第三人稱單數(shù)he來指代。
    例:Many critics believe that Amy Lwell' s most important
       A    
    work is not poetry, but his biography, John
    B        C     
     Keats, published the year of her death. 
     D
    分析:C錯,應(yīng)改為her。his指男性,顯然是錯誤的,應(yīng)改為her與后面的her同指Amy Lowell.
    (四) Who和which的區(qū)別
    which指代事物或者動物,who指代人
    who/whom son往往要改為whose son, whose可以指代事物
    例:The human body contains more than six hundred muscles who
             A            B
    account for approximately forty percent of the body weight.
    C                  D
    分析:B錯,應(yīng)改為which或that。先行詞不是指人,而是指物,關(guān)系代詞不能用who,故改為which或that。
    人體前面加定冠詞the, account for 占有多大的比例,解釋說明
    (五) that和which的區(qū)別
    介詞后面使用which, 而不用that, in that除外
    例:When television was first introduced, the extent to that it
             A        B
    would affect society could not have been foreseen.
     C              D
    分析:B錯,應(yīng)改為which。The extent to which, 介詞加which(引導(dǎo)定語從句),影響社會的程度沒有被預(yù)見
    (六) 定語從句的特殊省略
    Reason后面有定語從句,中間往往省略why,
    Time后面有定語從句,中間往往省略when
     I do remember the time I heard the sweetest voice in the wild world.
    way后面有定語從句,中間省略了in which
    例:Research on pain has been neglected, although the mainly
             A         B 
     reason people take medicine is to relieve pain.
        C      D
    分析:B錯,應(yīng)改為main。mainly為副詞,不能修飾后面的名詞,故改為形容詞main。句子中people take medicine修飾reason,定語從句引導(dǎo)詞被省略
    例:Commercial expansion from city to suburb has 
    affected the way people in the United States----.
     (A) living and working
     (B) they live and work
     (C) live and work
     (D) to live and to work
    分析:選擇C, the way people....影響了人們生活和工作的方式。
