难点
新浪微博老曹考研 考研命题测试学专家 考研英语语法难点精析 定语从句一般紧接被它所修饰的先行词;但有时候它和先行词之间有可能插入其他成分,使它与先行词分隔开来,这种定语从句叫作被分隔的定语从句,在阅读文章时会经常遇到这种情况,在阅读是要注意识别先行词的修饰对象。一般说来,定语从句被分割开来大致有以下三种:在先行词与定语从句之间插入一个状语。如:There are many thousands of stars in the sky that are like the sun.在太空中有成千上万的象太阳般的星星。乍一看,that 引导的定语从句在名词 sky 的后面,似乎应该是修饰 sky 的。但仔细一想,”不对啊,天空怎么能象太阳呢?“,原来 that 引导的定语从句被 in the sky 这个地点状语分隔开来,修饰中心词 stars。在先行词与定语从句之间插入一个定语。如:Do you remember one afternoon ten years ago when I came to your house and borrowed a diamond necklace?你还记得吗,十年前的一天下午,我来到你家,找你借了一条钻石项链?when I came to your house and borrowed a diamond necklace 实际上是修饰 afternoon 而不是修饰 years。ten years ago 实际上是定语后置修饰 afternoon。先行词与定语从句被谓语分隔开来。此时,先行词通常是句子的主语,因定语从句较长,主句谓语较短,为使句子平衡,常将定语从句移至谓语之后 如:A new master will come tomorrow who will teach you German.明天,新(男)老师将来较你德语。【语法难点精析之 besides,but,except,exept for,excepting,apart from 的区别】()besides 与 except 前者表示除 以外,还有 ;后者表示从整体中除去 这个大家都知道,就不举例子了 ()except 与 except for a除去的和非除去的是同类事物,用 except eg:All the essays are well written except Nelsons.Nelson 的文章(除去的)和 All the essays(非除去的)是同类事物,所以用 except b除去的和非除去的不是同类事物,用 except for,并且从语气上通常表示遗憾 eg:His essay is well written except for a few spelling mistakes.a few spelling mistakes(除去的)和 His essay(非除去的)是不同类的事物 ()apart from 具有多重意义:既可表示 besides,也可以表示 exept 或 exept for,还可以表示 without 的意思 eg:新浪微博老曹考研 考研命题测试学专家 Apart from the cost,it will take a lot of time.(=besides)The orphan had no one to take care of him apart from his uncle.(=except)He has done good work,apart from a few slight faults.(=except for)There can be no knowledge apart from practice.实践出真知(without)()excepting=except,但一般用于句首或用于 not,without,always 等词之后 eg:Excepting his brother,they are all right.Everyone,not excepting myself,must share the blame.All of us,without excepting those who know more about the subject,should study.All my brothers com here every day,always excepting the youngest.()but 与 except 同义,但 but 多用在 every,any,no 等和由这些词构成的复合词如everything,anywhere,nobody 等词以后及 all,none 之后 eg:The children go to school everyday but Sunday.They are all gone but me.You can get the book anywhere but here.There is no one but me.Who but George would do such a thing?【语法难点之 too.to 结构表示肯定含义的情况】(连载中)【too.to 结构表示肯定含义的情况】我们知道 too.to 结构一般表示否定含义,意为太.以致于不能 eg:He is too old to work.但 too.to 在下列情况下却表示肯定含义:当 too 前或 to 前有否定词构成双重否定时.eg:English is not too difficult to learn.英语并不太难学.He is too wise not to see that.他很聪明,不会不懂这一点.当too后是glad,pleased,happy,delighted,satisfied,ready,willing,kind,apt,good,true,easy,near,careful,well,early,delicious,eager,anxious 等形容词或副词时.eg:They are too anxious to leave.他们急于离开.He is too ready to help others.他总是乐于助人.与这些词连用时,too 前还常加上 only,all,but,just,simply 等副词,意思不变,因为这些词加上 too后与 very 同义.eg:Im only too glad to see you.见到你非常高兴.They are but too pleased to hear the news.新浪微博老曹考研 考研命题测试学专家 他们听到这个消息,非常高兴.与 cannot 连用时.eg:You cannot be too careful(=You can never be careful enough)to do your homework.你做作业越仔细越好(=无论怎样仔细也不过分).当不定式在句中作定语或真正的主语时.eg:There are too many problems to be solved.有很多问题有待解决.It is too much to say that he is a fool.【语法难点精析之 every 表示”每隔“的用法】every other+单数名词”意思是“每隔一。”如:every other day 每隔一天 every other tree 每隔一棵树 “every+基数词+复数名词”或“every+序数词+单数名词”意思是“每隔。”(较英语数词少一个)如:every three days=every third day 每隔两天(或者译为每三天)因此 every two days=every other day 每隔一天(或者译为每两天)“every few+复数名词”意思是“每隔几。”如:every few days(每隔几天)【语法难点精析之 alive、live、living 和 lively 的用法】lively 有“活泼的、快活的、生动的”等意思,可以指人或物,可作定语或标语;但它没有“活着的”意思,而其他三个都有。如:Young children are usually lively.小孩子们通常是活泼的。He told a very lively story.他讲了一个生动的故事。alive、live、living 都有“活的、有生命的”意思,与 dead 意义相反。但 live 通常只作前置定语,且一般用于动物;alive、living 不仅可作定语(alive 只能置于名词后;living 一般置于名词前,也可置于名词后),也可以作表语。如:This is a live(=living)fish.(=This is a fish alive.)这是一条活鱼。(指动物,且作定语时,三者均可用)Whos the greatest man alive(=living man)?谁是当今最伟大的人物?(指人,不能用 live)The fish is still alive(=living)那条鱼还活着。(指动物作表语时不能用 live)。living 主要指在某个时候是活着的,而 alive 指本来有死的可能,但仍活着的。而且,作主新浪微博老曹考研 考研命题测试学专家 语补足语或宾语补足语时,只能用 alive;作比喻义(如“活像。”、“活生生的”等)解时,要用 living。如:The enemy officer was caught alive.(作主语补足语,不用 living)那位敌方军官被活捉了。We found the snake alive.(作宾语补足语,不用 living)He is the living image of his father.(比喻义,不用 alive)他活象他父亲。只有 living 前加 the 方可表示“活着的人”,作主语时,视作复数。如:The living are more important to us than the dead.活着的人对我们来说比死去的人更重要。语法难点精析之含义因有无冠词而迥异的短语】at play 在玩 at the play 在看戏 behind time 迟到 behind the times 落在时代后 by day 在白天 by the day 按日计算 by sea 乘船 by the sea 在海边 in front of 在.(外面的)前面 in the front of

(1)由 wish 引起的表示愿望的虚拟语气 A用 wish 表示对现在的愿望时,它所引起的宾语从句中谓语动词形式为:过去式(be 动词用 were)。B用 wish 表示对将来的愿望时,它所引起的宾语从句中谓语动词形式为:would,could,might+动词原形。Cwish 用于对过去的事实表示一种不可能实现的愿望时,宾语从句中的谓语动词形式为:had+动词过去分词或 could,would+have+动词过去分词。The picture exhibition bored me to death;I wish I had not gone to it.-“I let Joe borrow our radio for the afternoon.”-“Thats all right,but I wish he would buy one of his own.”I wish that he werent so lazy.(2)had hoped 引起的宾语从句中备用语动词形式为 would+动词原形,表示一种过去未实现的愿望或令人失望的事。His father had hoped that his son would go to business with him,but his son became an artist later.(3)would(had)rather,would as soon,would sooner 和 would prefer 所引起的从句中要求用过去式表示当时或将来的情况,用过去完成时表示过去的情况,表示希望或婉转的责备。例如:Id rather you posted the letter right away.我倒希望你把这封信立刻寄出去。I would prefer he didnt stay there too long.我倒希望他不要在那儿可得太久。I would just as soon you had returned the book yesterday.我真希望你昨天把这本书还了。新浪微博老曹考研 考研命题测试学专家(4)Its(high,about)time that 句型中 that 从句中要求用虚拟语气形式,即动词要用过去式。Its time that something was done about the traffic problem downtown.It is high time that we put an end to this discussion.现在是我们该结束讲座的时候了。(5)as,或者 whetheror谓语多用 be 的原形,引导让步虚拟从句,这种用法通常采用倒装结构:Church as we use the word refers to all religious institutions,be they Christian,Islamivc,Buddhist,Jewish,and so on.The business of each day,be it selling goods or shipping them,went quite smoothly.(6)由连接词 in case,so that,unless,lest,for fear that 引起的状语从句中,谓语动词要用虚拟形式,即 should(might,would)+动词原形,例如:She put a blanket over the baby for fear that he should catch cold.她在那个婴儿身上盖上了毯子以免他着凉。The bad man was put in the soft-padded cell lest he injure himself.(7)if it were not for与现在事实相反,if it had not been for 与过去事实相反,两个都相当于but for:If it had not been for his help(=but for his help),we would not have succeeded.(8)虚拟语气用于 as if(though)引起的方式状语从句和表语从句中,其动词形式与 wish 宾语从句的形式相同。例如:She often laughs spontaneously,and her good humor breaks out as brightly as if it were a part of the sunshine above.她常常发出发自内心的微笑,而且她那美好的情绪像天上一道明亮的阳光一样,常常流露出来。They talked as if they had been friends for years.他们交谈着,就好像他们是我年的老朋友一样。She looks as if she would cry.她看起来好像要哭了。(9)其它各种句型,as though,suppose,had rather,supposing,if only 等等 If I were in a movie,then it would be about time that I buried my head in my hands for a cry.二、特殊形式的虚拟语气 虚拟语气的特殊形式,即用来表示要求、建议、命令、提议、意愿等的主语从句、宾语从句、表语从句和同位语从句中的虚拟形式,其虚拟语气的构成往往是由 should(可省略)+动词原形 that 从句。A、用于表示意愿、建议、命令、提议、请求等动词后的 that 宾语从句中,这类动词有:ask 要求 advise 建议 arrange 安排 beg 请求 command 命令 decide 决定 demand 要求 desire 渴望 determine 决定 insist 坚持 intend 打算 maintain 坚持主张 move 建议,动员 propose 提议 object 反对 order 命令 prefer 建议 require 需要 request 要求 resolve 下决心 recommend 推荐 suggest 建议 stipulate 约定,规定 urge 强调,促进 vote 公认,提议 decree 颁布(法令)pray 请求 注意:这类动词后面除了可接 that 虚拟句以外,也可以接 doing 或者 to do来表达,一般情况下,意思没有什么差别。She advised that we should keep the gate locked.(书面体)She advised us to keep the gate locked.(口语)She advised keeping the gate locked.(较随便)B、用于 It is+形容词或过去分词+主语从句中,这类形容词或分词有:新浪微博老曹考研 考研命题测试学专家 advisable 合理的 decided 决定的 crucial 关键的 appropriate 恰当的 determined 决定的 commanded 命令的 arranged 安排的 essential 紧要的,基本的 complied 遵照 anxious 焦急的 imperative 迫切的 important 重要的 desirable 合意的 better 较好的,更好 insistent 坚持的 desired 想要 asked 请求 keen 渴望的 incredible 难以置信的 adamant 坚定不移的 natural 自然的 insisted 坚持 necessary 必要的 suggested 建议 urgent 紧迫的 ordered 命令 shocked 震惊的 vital 极其重要的 possible 可能的 strange 奇怪的 preferable(好一点)proposed 提议 requested 要求的 required 要求的 recommended 推荐 resolved 决定的 probable(可能的)pity 可惜,憾事 shame 遗憾 注意:这类形容词后面除了可接 that 虚拟句以外,也可以 forto do 来表达,一般情况下,意思没有什么差别。It is essential that he should be prepared for this.It is essential for him to be prepared for this.C用于由表示建议、要求、命令、请示等含义的名词引导的表语从句和同位语从句中,这类名词常见的有:advice 忠告 decision 决定 demand 要求 desire 要求、愿望 insistence 坚持 motion 提议 necessity 必要性 order 命令 preference 偏爱 proposal 提议 pray 恳求 recommendation 推荐 request 要求 requirement 要求 resolution 决心 suggestion 劝告、忠告 例如:This is their resolution that extra-curriculum activities be made part of their school life.这是他们的决议:要使得课外活动成为他们学校生活的一部分。The motion that the remark of the last speaker be expunged from the record.该提议要求把最后一个发言的人的讲话从记录上除掉。三、混合虚拟语气 有时主句和从句的谓语动词指不同的时间,这时需要用混合虚拟语气。一般来说,在这种情况下,主从句谓语动词指代的时间不同,所以我们又可以错综时间条件句,在这种虚拟情况,动词形式应根据实际情况灵活使用,在做这些题目时候尤其要注意每道题目的提示语:时间状语。绝大多数情况下,从句或者主句都有相关的时间状语,这是我解题的关键。If you that late movie last night,you wouldnt be so sleepy.A.havent watched B.didnt watch C.hadnt watched D.wouldnt have watched 答案选 C。Many dead would now be alive if they have not attempted to return for something.Had Paul received six more votes in the last election,he would be our chairman now.混合虚拟语气还有一种情况就是事实和虚拟假设的混合句,这样的句子不仅仅是时间的不同,而重要是事实和假设的混合。I would have gone to visit him in the hospital had it been at all possible,but I was fully occupied the whole of last week.该句前半部分是假设虚拟,而后半部分是事实的陈述。Your math instructor would have been happy to give you a make-up examination had you gone and explained that your parents were ill at the time.该句前半句用的是假设虚拟,后半句主句也用的是假设虚拟(如果你去并且解释的话),但是后半句的从句用的是事实语气,因为“父母病了”是客观事实,故不需要用虚拟形式新浪微博老曹考研 考研命题测试学专家 had been。四、含蓄虚拟条件句 含蓄条件句是指句中没有明显的虚拟条件句,而是利用其他手段来暗示存在虚拟条件。但是这类隐含式虚拟条件句往往都可以转化为 if 引导的条件句。常来表示含蓄虚拟条件的手段有:(1)介词或介词短语,如 but for,but that,without,in case of,under more favorable condition等。the leadership of the party,we could not be living a happy today.=If there hadnt been the leadership of the party,we could not be living a happy today.A.In spite of B.But for C.Because of D.As for 答案选 B。But that she was afraid,she would have said no.(2)连词,如:so that,unless,in case,supposing,lest,provided(倘若),for fear that(唯恐),in order that,on condition that,if only(要是就好了)等。She listened carefully in order that she might discover exactly what he wanted.=if she listened carefully,she might discover exactly what he wanted.If only I had more money,I could buy a car.(注:lest,for fear that 和 in case 引起的从句中谓语动词多用 should+动词原形,但可以不用虚拟语气,而用动词的陈述语气形式。)例如:The foreign teacher spoke slowly in case we misunderstood him.这位外籍教师说得很慢以免我们听不懂。Care must be taken in using this method lest overflow should occur.在使用此法时要小心谨慎,以免会发生溢流现象。(3)通过上下文及内在含义,句中往往有 but,otherwise,unfortunately 等类似转折词。I thought the children when we returned home,but they were still awake.A.were sleeping B.would be sleeping C.had been sleeping D.would sleep 选择 B。(4)形容词及其比较级 A more careful person would not have made so many mistakes.A less conscientious man wouldnt have tried so hard to get this job done.(5)分词短语 Having known in time,we might have prevented the accident.Born ten days earlier,the boy could have seen his late father.(6)动词不定式短语。一般 intended/meant/hoped/wished/planned 或 was/were+不定式完成式或 had intended/meant/planned/hoped/wished/+不定式一般式表示虚拟。I intended I should call on you,but I was busy at that time.To hear him speak French,you would take him for an Englishman.She would be stupid not to accept his invitation.It would be easier to do it this way.(7)名词短语和名词+and 结构 A judicious man would not have committed suicide.A diligent student would have worked harder.(8)独立主格结构 All things considered,the price would be reasonable.(9)定语从句 新浪微博老曹考研 考研命题测试学专家 Anyone who had been in your position would have done the same.A nation,which stopped working,would be dead in a fortnight.(10)情态动词完成式暗示虚拟语气:I should hav
