2013年英语四级改错题常考要点-代词

考试网   2013-12-03   【

  一、代词

  代词中主要讲解六个问题

  (一) 掌握代词的几种格

  主格、宾格、所有格

  名词前面用代词来修饰,只能用所有格(my books)

  (二) 反身代词

  当主语和宾语表示同一事物时,宾语使用反身代词。

  He killed himself. (他自杀了)

  He killed him. (他杀了他)

  例:Researchers at the University of Colorado are investigating

  A                 B

  a series of indicators that could help

  C

  themselves to predict earthquakes.

  D

  分觯篋错,应改为them。如果用反身代词themselves,指代对象是从句主语that(即名词indicators),这显然是错误的。从句意来看,help的宾语应该是主句主语researchers,故应用代词宾格而不是反身代词。注意C并没有错,情态动词could 比can语气弱,表示较小的可能性。

  Indicator为征兆,这些征兆帮助他们来预言地震。主语是征兆,后面指研究者,不是同一个事物

  (三) 代词的单复数,代词的性别

  在考试中如果代词打横线,代词错误的概率是非常高的,因此代词打横线,应该先看代词有没有错。

  例:The continental divide refers to an imaginary line in the North American Rockies

  that divides the waters flowing into the Atlantic Ocean from it flowing into the

  A   B      C          D

  Pacific.

  分析:D错,应改为those。D指代复数名词waters, it是单数,显然是错误的,根据习惯故改为those。注意waters一词并没有错,它指江湖河海中的大片水域,可用复数形式。

  Water作为水是不可数名词,waters表示水域,通常使用复数形式,作主语谓语动词用复数。

  Work作为工作是不可数名词,work作为作品,可数不可数都可以,例如:

  Many of his works= much of his work, work都表示作品

  例:In 1920 the presidential candidate Warren Harding coined

  A

  the word “normalcy” to express social and

  B

  economic conditions they promised the nation.

  C       D

  分析:D错,应改为he。动作promised是由Warren Harding发出来的,故用第三人称单数he来指代。

  例:Many critics believe that Amy Lwell' s most important

  A

  work is not poetry, but his biography, John

  B        C

  Keats, published the year of her death.

  D

  分析:C错,应改为her。his指男性,显然是错误的,应改为her与后面的her同指Amy Lowell.

  (四) Who和which的区别

  which指代事物或者动物,who指代人

  who/whom son往往要改为whose son, whose可以指代事物

  例:The human body contains more than six hundred muscles who

  A            B

  account for approximately forty percent of the body weight.

  C                  D

  分析:B错,应改为which或that。先行词不是指人,而是指物,关系代词不能用who,故改为which或that。

  人体前面加定冠词the, account for 占有多大的比例,解释说明

  (五) that和which的区别

  介词后面使用which, 而不用that, in that除外

  例:When television was first introduced, the extent to that it

  A        B

  would affect society could not have been foreseen.

  C              D

  分析:B错,应改为which。The extent to which, 介词加which(引导定语从句),影响社会的程度没有被预见

  (六) 定语从句的特殊省略

  Reason后面有定语从句,中间往往省略why,

  Time后面有定语从句,中间往往省略when

  I do remember the time I heard the sweetest voice in the wild world.

  way后面有定语从句,中间省略了in which

  例:Research on pain has been neglected, although the mainly

  A         B

  reason people take medicine is to relieve pain.

  C      D

  分析:B错,应改为main。mainly为副词,不能修饰后面的名词,故改为形容词main。句子中people take medicine修饰reason,定语从句引导词被省略

  例:Commercial expansion from city to suburb has

  affected the way people in the United States----.

  (A) living and working

  (B) they live and work

  (C) live and work

  (D) to live and to work

  分析:选择C, the way people....影响了人们生活和工作的方式
