2018年高考英語重難點總結
2. what else, but a journey at the opposite and of the world. antarctica. 除了在世界的另一端即南極旅行,還能做什么別的呢?
[問]此句中but怎么理解?
[答]but在此句中作介詞,相當于except,意為“除……之外”,又如:no one but me 除我以外沒別人
no one but she saw the prowler.除她以外沒有一個人看見那個行竊者。傳統的語法學家考慮當but用于表示例外的意思時應該用什么形式的代詞,比如no one but i (或者no one but me )has read it 。 有人認為but在這種句子中是個連詞,因此應該使用主格i。然而虛度語法雪茄的討論有些不一致,即當but短語出現在句子末尾時用賓格me比較合適,如no one has read it but me (除我以外沒有人讀過它)。同時這種結構前置處理的重要性是值得考慮的,并且不會被認為是不正確的。此處,but還可用作連詞表示轉折,用作副詞意為“幾乎,僅僅”,如:i was going to write, but i lost your address. 我本來要寫信的,可是把你的地址弄丟了。(連詞)
the job is all but finished!這工作差不多完成了。ǜ痹~)
3. my dog team weren't with me to pull my sled. 我沒有群狗來為我拉雪橇。
[問]本句的主語是my dog team 為什么謂語動詞用復數weren't?
[答]team形式上是單數,但有時候表達復數的含義,謂語動詞用復數,在語法上這稱做“主謂一致”。試比較:
our team is sure to win this game. 我們的球隊肯定會贏得這場比賽。
our team are taking exercise now. 我們的隊員正在訓練。
family, group, crowd, class, government, company, population 等作主語時,也應根據“意義一致”的原則,按所表達的含義確定其謂語動詞形式。
4. another journey of challenge and danger was about to began. 又一次挑戰和危險的旅行即將開始。
[問]be about to do sth. 是什么意思?
[答]be about to 是一種將來時表達法,表示最近的將來,意思為“正要……”“即將……”。需要注意的是,若句子中有具體的時間狀語則不能用be about to, 而要用be going to, 如:
when i saw mary, she was about to get on the bus. 我看到瑪麗時,她正要上車。
hurry up!they are going to finish the work in five minutes. 快點!他們五分鐘就做完了。
此外,“be to do sth,"亦可表示“按計劃或那派將要做某事”。如:
we are to have to meeting this afternoon. 我們今天下午要開會。
5. i had travelled only two hours one day when the winds incresed so much that i had to put my tent up before the winds became too strong. 一天我剛走了兩小時,這時風變得太大,我不得不在強風到來之前搭起帳篷。
[問]此句中的when 是什么用法?so much that 是什么意思?
[答}when用作連詞,意為“正在……的時候”(=at the very moment),如,we were about to start when it began to rain. 我們正要出發。這時候就開始下雨了。so... that 意為“如此……以致……”與such...that同義,但so是副詞,修飾形容詞或副詞。例如:he was so hardworking that he was praised by the teacher.他很勤奮,所以受到老師的表揚。
