請看下面這一道題: 題一:The boys and the girls each _________ to do something different, which _________the teacher uneasy. A. want, make B. wants, makes C. want, makes D. wants, make 許多同學認為,each 表示“每個”,表單數意義,所以第一空填 wants,第二空前的 which 指前句所說的情況,表單數意義,所以第二空填 makes,從而確定答案為B。該分析只對了一半,即第二空填 makes 的分析是對的,而第一空填 wants 的分析則不對。其實,此題的最佳答案為C,即第一空應填復數動詞 want,因為此句的主語 the boys and the girls,而 each 只是主語的同位語,按照英語語法,謂語應與其相應的主語保持一致(即所謂的主謂一致),而不是與主語的同位語保持一致。 題二:He speaks French _________ German, but his mother _________ is English. A. as well as, language B. as well as, tongue C. so well as, language D. so well as, tongue 答案選B,第一空應填 as well as,表示“而且,還,和”,第二空格應填 tongue,mother tongue 意為“母語”。許多同學想當然地認為“母語”是mother language,其實錯了。英語中表示“母語”有三種常用的方法:native language,native tongue,mother tongue,但是習慣上卻不說 mother language。 題三:More than one student _________ read the novels, which _________ written by David. A. has, was B. have, were C. has, were D. have, was 【分析】此題容易誤選B,其實最佳答案為C。more than one student (不止一個學生) 從形式上看是單數,但從意義上卻是復數,它用作主語時,英語習慣上讓其謂語與該主語的形式(而不是意義)保持一致,即用單數謂語。至于第二空要用復數,因為 which 指的是 novels,故謂語用 were(from www.hz123456.com)。 |
