for it was not working right.
(分析)for虽然也可引导表示原因的分句,但它是并列连接词,用在compound sentence(并列句)中,这点与because、as、since等引导原因状语从句的从属连接词不同。
五,考核知识点:考查对compound-complex sentence的掌握和运用。
●试题:
:
7. If you want me to clean your windows, please give me a week‘s notice. I am very busy this month. (compound-complex sentence)
●答案:
7. If you want me to clean your windows, please give me a week‘s notice, for I am very busy this month.
●解题关键:
(1) 了解compound-complex sentence(并列复合句)的构成:顾名思义,compound-complex sentence(并列复合句)是由复合句并列而形成的。具体地说,compound-complex sentence(并列复合句)可以是一个简单句与一个主从复合句用并列连接词连接起来的,也可以是两个主从复合句的并列。
(2) 第7题原句中的第一个句子是含有条件状语从句的主从复合句,第一句与第二句是前因后果的关系,将两句话用并列连接词for连接起来,即可合并为一个compound - complex sentence(并列复合句)。
●考生典型答题错误分析
(错误)Please give me a week‘s notice if you want me to clean your windows, because I am very busy this month.
(分析)此句仍是complex sentence(复合句),因为because为从属连接词。在表示原因的连接词中,只有for是并列连接词,用于连接两个具有并列关系的分句。阅卷中发现,相当多的考生没有掌握好连接词for的用法。
六,考核知识点:考查对parallel structure概念的掌握和运用
●试题:
8. Minnie bought a ticket to the play. She went out for dinner. She arrived at the theater by 8:00. (parallel structure)
●答案:
8. Minnie bought a ticket to the play, went out for dinner, and arrived at the theater by 8:00.
●解题关键:
(1) 明确parallel structure(平行结构)的特点:parallel structure(平行结构)是把两个或两个以上意思并列的成分用同等的语法形式表示出来。平行的结构可以是单词、词组、从句,也可以是句子。
(2) 第8题原有的三个短句中,主语均为Minnie,谓语动词bought、went out、及arrived是意思并列的成分,可以成为平行结构。
●考生典型答题错误分析
(错误)Minnie bought a ticket to the play, arrived at the theater by 8:00,and went out for dinner.
(分析)Minnie买票、外出吃饭、到达剧院是按照时间顺序先后发生的,次序不能随意更改。
(错误)Minnie bought a ticket to the play, went out for dinner, then arrived at the theater by 8:00.
(分析)then不是并列连接词,不能取代and.
上一讲,我们对第一种题型“重写句子”的考核知识点与解题思路进行了分析和探讨,并对考生答题中的典型错误作了剖析。本讲我们将研究第二种题型“改写病句”,病句中的一些语病在中国学生的英文写作中十分常见,值得认真推敲。
