Unit 20 Gandhi
【例1】He went abroad at
the age of 26 and ________ Joan there.He
has been_______ Joan for 20 years.
A.married… married with B.married with…married
to
C.married to… married D.married… married
to
此题的正确答案是D(married…married to),marry
sb.表示和某人结婚,娶、嫁某人,不能用marry with sb.;被动结构be/set
married to sb. 也表示和某人结婚,表示已婚状态。选项A中前面mairred用对了,但后面merried
with用的不对,予以排除;选项B中前面 mairred with用错了,后面的married
to用对了,予以排除;选项 C中前面mairred to用错了,后面married也用错了,予以排除。如:
I’m glad Hubert married a girl of spirit.我很高兴休伯特娶了一个很勇敢的女孩。
His wife,to whom he had been married
for thirty years,was childless.他和妻子结婚三十年了,至今膝下无子女。
【例2】单项选择:
_________ severe rains the fields were
flooded.
A.Followed B.Following C.Follows D.As
follows
此题的正确答案是B(following),following(prep)意为“在……之后”,“经过”,构成介词短语,在句中做时间状语。选项A中followed是过去式,用在此处语法不通;选项目C中follows是现在时第三人称单数,用在这里也属结构错误;选项D中
as follows意为“如下”,是固定词组,后面引出所说内容,不可用在此处。如:
The city became a dark world following
the earthquake.地震城市变成黑暗世界。
Following many attempts the engine was
at last to start.在多次努力后,马达终于启动。
【例3】单项选择:
Then she insisted _________ silence.
A.Hall to keep B.on Hall keeping silence
C.Hall on keeping D.Hall keeping
此题的正确答案是B(on Hall keeping silence),表示坚持要某人做某事,用insist
on /upon + sb.+ doing sth.这里的sb.是后面-ing形式的逻辑主语,即行为发出者,多用名词普通格形式。选项A中Hall
to keep属错误搭配,某些动词如insist,suggest,hope,arrange等后面不能接宾语sb.+
to do sth.;选项C中Hall on keeping;选项D中Hall
keeping均属错误搭配,予以排除。如:
We insisted on(her)staying in London.我们坚持要(她)留在伦敦。
He insisted on a second message being
sent.他坚决主张再发一封短信。
【例 4】单项选择:
-May I have the honour of dancing with
you?
-__________.
A.That’s a good idea B.Thank you just
the same
C.With pleasure D.You are welcome
此题的正确答案是C(With pleasure),接受邀请去赴宴或共同参加某活动可用I’d
love to.(或:I’d like to.)Thank you.或Yes,with
pleasure.或I’d be glad to come.或I’d be
delighted to come.等。对方请自己跳舞,当然非常乐意(with
pleasure),这是对邀请或请求帮忙表示乐意很客气的答语。选项A中That’s
a good idea常用于对别人提议一道去做某事表示赞同用,用在这种社交场合不妥;选项B中Thank
you just the same.常用于拒绝某人帮助或别人未能帮助自己时表示客套,不合题义;选项D中You
are welcome常用于对某人的感谢表示客气.意为“用不着谢”,不能按字面理解“欢迎你和我跳舞”。如:
-What about going to the concert with
me tonight?今晚和我去听音乐会怎么样?
—I'd be glad to. Thank you.我很高兴去,谢谢你c
-Would you like a drink?你想喝一杯吗?
-Yes,with pleasure.是的,谢谢。
【例5】句型转换:
The children stood up as soon as the
headmaster entered the classroom.
①_______________________________________________________
②_______________________________________________________
此题可改写成以下两句而意义不变:
1.The children stood up on the entrance
of the headmaster.
2.The minute/moment/second the headmaster
entered the children stood up.
一个行为发生后,紧接着发生另一个行为,可用 as soon as引出时间状语从句表示。也可以用介词on(prep.)后接名词或动词-ing形式表示,还可以用the
minute/moment/ second以及 immediately(英国英语)等引出时间状语从句表示。如:
On his stepping out of the taxi he was
seized by two men.他一下出租车就被两个男人抓住。
On arriving at the station he heard
the good news.(或:On his arrival at the
station he heard the good news.)他一到车站就听到好消息。
He promised to attend the meeting, the
moment/minute he reached the office.他一到办公室就答应出席会议。
I left immediately the clock truck tweleve.钟一敲十二点我就离开了。
【例6】单词拼写:
Guess who t________ up at Mary’s wedding.
答案:turned
解题策略 首先,通过读题我们可以判断这里要填的单词为谓语动词,且应用过去式。其次,我们应该考虑到被拼写的单词还受到up的限制,可以判断这是一个不及物动词。
错误辨析 本题的解题错误有两种可能性,一是想不到动词turn;二是知道要填
turn,但动词的形式填错了,如误填turns或turning。其实,题干中的who已经暗示它引导了一个宾语从句作Guess的宾语。
【例7】选择最佳答案:
The clouds__________.
A.are building up B.are built up
C.are building D.are built 答案:A
解题策略 本题实际上在考查两个语言知识点。一是build与build up的用法区别,二是the
clouds后面到底用主动语态还是被动语态。首先,云的动态发展过程是一种自然现象,不存在被动问题,因此可以首先排除B、D选项。其次,build通常表示“建造”,而build
up可以表示多种意思,尤其这里的副词up很有意义,表示结果。此题应选A项,表示“云团正在集聚起来”的意思。
错误辨析 最大的干扰项是B项。如果误选B项,那么主要是以为主语不是“人”应用被动语态这一看法造成的。其实,反过来分析一下,难道云可以被人为地聚集到一块吗?既然不能,那么“聚集”这个动作又怎么能以被动形式出现呢?
