第二章 语法
概述
一、此阶段的语法学习非常重要
这不仅是因为它是许多学校MTI考研的直接考点,而且它是语言水平和质量的重要体现,是我们做考卷其他部分时不可或缺的知识基础。较深厚的语法知识可帮助我们分析阅读理解和翻译中的长句、难句的处理,确保正确性和准确性。
如语法题:
1.No sooner____than he realized that he should have remained silent.(北京航空航天大学2014年真题)
A.the words had spoken
B.had the words spoken
C.the words had been spoken
D.had the words been spoken
本题考查no sooner...than...,常放在句首,表示强调,这时主句要倒装。话是被说出口,应该用被动。故答案选D。
2.While driving along the treacherous road,____.(北京航空航天大学2014真题)
A.my right rear tyre blew out
B.my right rear tyre had ablowout
C.I had ablowout on my right rear tyre
D.I had my right rear tyre blowout
本题考查时间状语从句省略主语与be时,从句主语必须与主句主语保持一致。从句还原是while Iwas driving along the treacherous road,故主句的主语是I。答案选C。
3.He is quite worn out from years of hard work.He is not the man____he was twenty years ago.(中国海洋大学2013年真题)
A.which
B.that
C.who
D.whom
本题考查that引导关系从句。当关系从句的谓语为be,关系代词在从句中又作表语时,应该用that或省略。答案选B。
4.There is more land in Australia than the government knows____.(中国海洋大学2013年真题)
A.what to do with
B.what to do with it
C.how to do
D.how to do it
本题考查than引导的比较结构。从句中的主语是the land,than引出后面的定语从句,在此的作用相当于than(the land which)the government knows what to do with,which代替主语the land在定语从句which the government knows what to do with中作介词with的宾语。答案选A。
5.There ought to be less anxiety over the perceived risk of mountain climbing than____in the public mind today.(厦门大学2012年真题)
A.exist
B.exists
C.existing
D.to exist
本题考查than引出后面的定语从句。从句中的主语应该是前面的anxiety,后面的over the perceived risk of mountain climbing部分作后置修饰语,修饰的是anxiety。than在此句的作用相当于than(the anxiety which)exists in the public mind today,所以答案选B。
如在翻译题中:
1.Most commonly,we come to books with blurred and divided minds,asking of fiction that shall be false,of biography that it shall be flattering,of history that it shall enforce our own prejudices.(How Should One Read aBook?—Virginia Woolf)
该句为省略句,of前省略asking,避免重复。然而中文可将其还原。
参考译文:我们打开书,往往是思想模糊,头脑割裂,对其求非所予。苛求小说真实,苛求诗歌造作,要求传记美化、史书认同一己之见。
2.And speaking of freedom,is not the author free,as few men are free?Is he not secure,as few men are secure?(The Joys of Writing—Winston Churchill)
本句迷惑之处在于表面是疑问句、否定句,实则为强烈的肯定句。据此,可试译为:
至于自由,时间鲜有,却为作家独享;世人生活皆有岌岌可危之感,作家心中却独存一份安然恬淡。
如在阅读理解题中:
1.All these stories are based on similar scripts:callous doctors convert harsh criminals into docile individuals who,once operated upon,become dull and lose their critical capacities,or,conversely,neurosurgeons remodel exemplary citizens in remorseless warriors who are unstoppable from committing cruelties afterwards.
提取出句子主干All these stories are based on similar scripts:doctors convert criminals into individuals,or neurosurgeons remodel citizens in warriors.由于插入语以及定语从句等成分,使得我们对句子不能提纲挈领,拨云见雾抓住句子主干。可见,扎实的语法功底不论在美文欣赏还是在应试技巧上都必不可少。
2.Imagine all the devotees of the humanities suddenly withdrawing to amonastery,taking with them all that belongs to them;the workaday world we know would turn before our astonished faces into something bleak,dark,soundless,bare of sensuous charm,and empty of any meaning beyond that of immediate needs and their fulfillment by mechanical aids.
这是由分号连接的并列句,对于其中分号后面的句子中的谓语turn,语法知识敏感的人立即就可以看出turn后面接着的before our astonished faces是介词短语做状语修饰turn,而turn与后面的into构成搭配。这样整个句子结构就明了清楚了,意为:“我们所了解的世界就会在我们的面前惊人地变成……”如果能分析句子成分,阅读理解就可以完全达成。
二、英语语法、用法中的“一般”和“特殊”
这个层次的语法学习需切记:要把握好英语语法的一般性和特殊性的关系。以一个改错题为例:
He has takenhonors Acourses throughout his tenure at his suburban high school,has already qualifiedfor Badvance placementin Ctwo subjects and expects to qualifyfor Dseveral others.
考生往往会选择A项,因为语法的一般规律规定:当一个名词修饰另一个名词时应用原型,故honors应改为honor;但是特殊的是honors也是原型,只不过意思有些变了,honors不是“荣誉”之意而是“优等成绩”之意了。这类特殊性有:waters(大水、水域)、readings(读物)、communications(通信)、regards(致意)、apologies(歉意)、brains(智力)、damages(索赔)等等,所以我们学习语法要多查勤查,万不可想当然。尤其针对考试更是如此,因为考试特别是国内出题的考试或多或少信奉“特殊大于一般”的原则。此题答案为D,for应改为in,与前面的in two subjects中的in构成并列一致。
1.有关定冠词的一般性与特殊性
一般性:天体的名称加定冠词the。
the moon,the stars,the constellations(星座),the sun,the planet等。
特殊性:除地球以外其他行星不可以加the。
Mars(火星),Jupiter(木星),Saturn(土星),Neptune(海王星),Mercury(水星),Venus(金星),Pluto(冥王星),Uranus(天王星)。
2.有关情态动词will和shall的一般性和特殊性
一般性:shall用于第一人称,will用于所有人称。
特殊性:shall亦可用于其他人称,表示讲话人的意志和决心。
如:Lincoln的The Government of the people,for the people and by the people shall never perish from the earth.(注:此处的shall要重读。)
另外,
一般说I shall see you.而其特殊性:Since Ishall be seeing you tomorrow,you can explain everything to me then.
前者句子表达讲话人的“意志”,而后者表达“事先已约定好的事。”
3.有关英语时态的一般性和特殊性
一般性:always,often,invariably这些词用于一般现在时的句子中。
特殊性:亦可用一般或过去进行时表示“不耐烦,不满”等情绪。
如:She is always complaining.
三、英语语法中的“其一”和“其他”
英研层次的语法要求同学知“其一”,更知“其他”。所谓“其一”就是人所众知的语法常识,“其他”指的是令人颇觉生疏的语法现象,只知“其一”,不知道“其他”是最有害的,因为国内考试所信奉的另一个原则就是:“其他”大于“其一”。正如Alexander Pope所言:A little knowledge is adangerous thing.往往似是而非的“其一”就成了典型陷阱。
有关词惯用法的“其一”和“其他”之辩举隅:
1.“如果”
“其一”(一般性):if
“其他”(特殊性):suppose/supposing/assuming/providing/provided that/on condition that/do…and…/should/were/had/but for
