2013年12月新東方英語四級考試詞匯(4)

字號:

主謂一致:指的就是給出主語,要求判斷謂語動詞是用單數(shù)還是復(fù)數(shù)的問題?! ?BR>    一、就近原則:  
    指句子的主語由兩部分單詞或短語構(gòu)成時(shí),由離謂語動詞近的那部分主語來決定謂語動詞的單復(fù)數(shù)?! ?BR>    只有當(dāng)以下單詞或短語連接主句的兩部分時(shí)就近原則才適用:  
    1. or 或者; 2. either … or … 不是…就是… ,…或… ; 3. neither … nor … 既不…也不… ;  
    4. not only … but also … 不但…而且… ; 5. not … but … 不是…而是…  
    例如:主語1 or 主語2 謂語動詞。 此時(shí)由主語2決定謂語動詞。  
    10. _C_ either he or his accountants going to claim for the loss?  
    A Are B Where C Is D Does  
    如果題目改變?yōu)椋篍ither he or his accountants ___ going … 則應(yīng)選A  
    二、句子謂語動詞一定用復(fù)數(shù)的兩種情況:  
    1. 集合名詞做主語,集合名詞沒有復(fù)數(shù)形式,因?yàn)樗旧砭痛硪粋€(gè)復(fù)數(shù)概念?! ?BR>    常見的幾個(gè)復(fù)合名詞: people 人民,人們; police 警察; cattle 牛; poultry 家禽?! ?BR>    2. 表示數(shù)量的復(fù)數(shù)名詞 + 不可數(shù)名詞,整體做主語時(shí)  
    例如:去年出口了八百萬頓煤。 Eight million tons of coal were exported last year.  
    三、謂語動詞一定用單數(shù)的六種情況:

    2. 表示時(shí)間、重量、長度、價(jià)值四方面的詞做主語;  
    399. -- “How many days?”  
    0 -- “Did you say that five days _C_ required to complete that work?”  
    A are B were C was D is  
    3. 表示單數(shù)概念的主語,短語,謂語動詞,此時(shí)謂語動詞也用單數(shù);  
    因?yàn)榇私Y(jié)構(gòu)中短語只是對主語提供附加說明情況,所以謂語動詞也用單數(shù)?! ?BR>    當(dāng)以下這些標(biāo)志性的介詞或介詞短語出現(xiàn)在此結(jié)構(gòu)中時(shí)可以不管中間的附加說明情況:  
    with, together with, like, except, besides, in addition to, rather than, as well as  
    注意:表示復(fù)數(shù)概念的主語,短語,謂語動詞,此時(shí)謂語動詞應(yīng)用復(fù)數(shù)?! ?BR>    4. each, every, either, some, any, no,由以上六個(gè)詞中任何一個(gè)所構(gòu)成的復(fù)合代詞作主語時(shí);  
    some經(jīng)常構(gòu)成的三個(gè)復(fù)合代詞:something, somebody, someone;  
    no經(jīng)常構(gòu)成的三個(gè)復(fù)合代詞:nothing, nobody, no one; either of + 短語;  
    5. 通常由and連接兩部分這種形式做主語謂語動詞要用復(fù)數(shù),但在以下兩種情況下則應(yīng)用單數(shù);  
    1> and連接的兩部分指的是同一事物;  
    2> and連接的兩部分被no, each, every中任何一個(gè)詞修飾時(shí);  
    例如:每位男士和女士都要著裝得體。 be supposed to do sth. 理應(yīng),應(yīng)該做某事。  
    Every man and every woman is supposed to dress properly.  
    11. Many an airplane _B_ in the exhibition.  
    A are shown B has been shown C has shown D show them  
    many a(an) 很多,相當(dāng)于many; many a(an) + 可數(shù)名詞單數(shù),做主語時(shí)謂語動詞用單數(shù)?! ?BR>    6. many a (an) + 可數(shù)名詞單數(shù),作主語時(shí)謂語動詞用單數(shù)?! ?BR>    9. Not only Joan but her sisters _B_ the combination to the safe which contains the list of the family securities.
