【例1】 单项选择:
Do you notice that you had made _______mistake?
A. so serious a B. such serious a
C. a so serious D.
a too serious
此题的正确答案是A(so serious a),不定冠词a/an通常放在形容词前面,但如形容词前有so,
too, how 时,a/an就该放在形容词后面,结构为so/too/how
+adj. +a/an + n. 如果没有不定冠词,就不能用这个结构。如:
I've never seen so beautiful a park
before. 我从未见过如此美丽的公园。
He had too small an income to send his
child to school. 他收入太少,不能送孩子上学。
【例2】 单项选择:
George agreed to receive his brother
and sister on condition ______they should
get something to do.
A. which B. when C. that D. where
此题的正确答案是C(that),on condition that相当于on
one condition,意思近于only if,后面的that-clause是同位语从句,说明条件的内容。选项A中which通常作疑问代词或关系代词,不能引出同位语从句;选项B中when,选项D中where都是疑问副词或关系副词,不能引出同位语从句。如:
I'll come on condition that John is invited,
too.如果约翰也受到邀请,我就来。
You may borrow the book, on condition
that you return it in a week.你可以借这本书,条件是一周后还。
【例3】单项选择:
A fat person has a great deal of _______.
A. meat B. flesh C. muscles D. pork
此题的正确答案是B(flesh),flesh通常指人或动物身上的肉,也可指供食用的兽类的肉,选项A中meat指供食用的动物肉总称,不合题意,选项C中muscles意为肌肉,可数名词,与a
great deal of连用不妥,且不合题意,选项D中pork指猪肉,不会题意。如:
Tigers are flesh-eating animals.老虎是食肉动物。
These sorrows are more than flesh and
blood can bear.这些痛苦非血肉之躯可以忍受。
I had permitted Mr Li to attend the
show. I had to keep my word.
此题中permitted应改为promised,promise(vi.)意为答应、许诺(某人)(做)某事,作出保证等,后接名词、代词、动词不定式以及宾语从句,有时可接双宾语,而permit和allow不可接双宾语,permit/allow
sb. to do sth.意为允许某人做某事,是复合宾语结构。如:
You’ve got to promise me to obey his
command. 你应答应我服从他的指挥。
I promised Mrs Li that I could stop
in to see her.我答应李太太,或许会停下来看她。
You promised me an orange. May I have
it?你答应给我橘子。我可以拿吗?
【例4】The children pretended being doctors
and nurses.
此题中being应改为to be,pretend(vi.)意为假扮,假装,后接动词不定式或宾语从句,不可接动词-ing形式。want,like
wish,hope,manage,offer,promise,pretend,decide,desire,determine,expect等动词后面接不定式而不能接动词-ing形式作宾语。如:
Let’s pretend we are cowboys.让我们假扮牧童吧。
Jack pretended not to see me In the
street.杰克假装在街上未看见我。
