一、大綱要求
最新《大學英語教學大綱》（1999）對四級語法的要求是：“鞏固和加深基本語法知識，提高在語篇水平上運用語法知識的能力?！?BR> 二、四級語法結(jié)構(gòu)與詞匯考查內(nèi)容
四級考試對語法詞匯的考查與《大綱》要求是十分一致的。綜觀近年來的四級考試題，我們不難發(fā)現(xiàn)四級考試語法詞匯部分是這樣體現(xiàn)《大綱》的。
1．語法考題的涉及面寬
近年考題曾經(jīng)考到：幾乎所有詞類，三種動詞的非謂語形式，名詞從句，形容詞從句，副詞從句，獨立主格，一致，倒裝，強調(diào)等基本語法知識。
2．語法考試的重點突出
語法考試的重點為內(nèi)容龐雜較難掌握的項目，這些項目還反復(fù)出現(xiàn)如：虛擬語氣，狀語從句，定語從句，獨立主格，情態(tài)動詞。
3．具體考查重點為以上項目中的特殊用法，不常用的情況
1）虛擬語氣的考點為：would rather＋that從句＋一般過去時：It is vital／ necessary／ important／ urgent／ imperative／ desirable／ advisable／ natural／ essential＋that＋動詞原形；It is time／about time／high time＋that＋一般過去時：proposal／suggestion＋that＋動詞原形；lest＋that＋should＋動詞原形；if only＋that＋would＋動詞原形。
2）狀語從句的考點為：非if引導(dǎo)的條件狀語從句，此類句子多用at times，provided，so long as，in case，once等來替代if；由even if／so，now that，for all等引導(dǎo)的讓步狀語從句；just／hardly…when引導(dǎo)的時間狀語從句；more than，as…as，not so much as，the same as，as much as等引導(dǎo)的比較狀語從句。
3）獨立主格結(jié)構(gòu)多以邏輯主語＋分詞的形式出現(xiàn)。
4）情態(tài)動詞多與完成時形式連用。
5）定語從句重點考查介詞＋關(guān)系代詞（which）和as作為關(guān)系代詞。
4．詞匯的考查重點為
1）動詞，名詞與介詞的搭配如：popular／patient＋with；yield／solution／adapt／transfer／access＋to；accuse／require＋of；charge＋for；under＋discussion等等。
2）習慣用法如：confess to／set about／be used to＋doing；
be supposed to／have／make sb．＋do等。
3）由同一動詞構(gòu)成的短語如：come，go，set，break等構(gòu)成的短語。
4）單個的動詞，抽象名詞，形容詞和副詞多以近義詞、同義詞的形式出現(xiàn)。
5）介詞短語在句中作狀語如：in terms of；with the exception of；in vain等，另外還應(yīng)注意rather than，other than，such as，none／nothing＋but等詞在考題中的出現(xiàn)。
5．近年來考題中的新趨勢為：若干考點混合出現(xiàn)：一些交際用語也時常出現(xiàn)在考題中。
