托福考試輔導(dǎo):語法講解(13)

字號(hào):

考點(diǎn)二 (not) so /as…as
    比較級(jí)特殊句式(not)so/as…as 表示“如同……一樣、不如……”等意思,其結(jié)構(gòu)和than句式相仿,但as…as之間的形容詞必須用原形,而且as…as必須搭配使用,
    如:It is as good as it looks.
    The boss is not so bad-tempered as you have described.
    填空題中常給出句子的一部分(第一個(gè)as),要求填出相搭配的部分(第二個(gè)as),一定要形成對(duì)這種搭配句式的敏感。
    例題:
    (1)
    The best way to control rats is by seeing that they have as ----.
    (A) possibly little nourishment
    (B) nourishment possibly little
    (C) little as possible nourishment
    (D) little nourishment as possible
    答案:D
    解釋:空格處需要?jiǎng)釉~have的賓語,同時(shí)包含as…as句式,A、B都缺少與as搭配的結(jié)構(gòu),C語序有誤,均可排除。D中as…as possible, 為固定用法, 意為“盡可能”.
    (2)
    There is evidence that prehistoric humans used fire ---- 400,000 B.C.
    (A) so early
    (B) the earliest
    (C) as early as
    (D) so early that
    答案:C
    解釋:依句意空格處需要“早在”這一意思的正確表達(dá),只有C符合題意,用的是比較級(jí)特殊句式as...as
    考點(diǎn)三 the same…as
    此句式也常用來表示“和……一樣”,the same和as既可連用,也可分開使用,
    如:She looks just the same as before.
    I got the same feeling as you did.
    改錯(cuò)題中常將此句式誤用為the same…like /than, 要練就一雙火眼金睛將其識(shí)別出來
    例題:
    (1)
    Meadowlarks are about the same size than robins, but they have heavier bodies, shorter tails, and longer bills.
    應(yīng)改為:as.
    解釋:the same as是固定搭配, 表示“與...一樣”
    (2)
    Due to sophisticated transportation networks, people can now buy the same types of perishable goods in Toronto like in New York City.
    應(yīng)改為:as
    解釋:與the same相搭配的只有as, like不行
