語法精析精練

考點提示：

1. 單項填空中動詞時態(tài)和語態(tài)是考查重點。考查的時態(tài)就是考試大綱要求的八種常用時態(tài)：一般現(xiàn)在時，一般過去時，一般將來時，現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時，過去進(jìn)行時，現(xiàn)在完成時，過去完成時，過去將來時。

2. 短文改錯中主要考查一般現(xiàn)在時和一般過去時。

一、動詞時態(tài)的判斷思路

1. 英語句子中作謂語的動詞因動詞動作發(fā)生或情況存在的時間不同，會有不同的動詞構(gòu)成形式，即時態(tài)。故在確定動詞時態(tài)時，關(guān)鍵的是確定動詞動作或情況發(fā)生的時間。時間可劃分為現(xiàn)在、過去和將來，由此將動詞時態(tài)分成現(xiàn)在時間時態(tài)、過去時間時態(tài)及將來時間時態(tài)，具體劃分如下：

2. 判斷動詞的時態(tài)時，先確定句中的動詞動作或情況發(fā)生的時間，根據(jù)時間確定是用現(xiàn)在時間時態(tài)、過去時間時態(tài)還是將來時間時態(tài)，再根據(jù)各相應(yīng)時間時態(tài)的基本用法，判斷句子動詞符合哪一時態(tài)的用法，最終確定該動詞的正確時態(tài)。

3. 根據(jù)動詞動作發(fā)生或存在的情況，也可分成一般體（表示某時發(fā)生的動作或存在的情況）、進(jìn)行體（表示動詞動作在某時正在進(jìn)行或在某段時間一直進(jìn)行）、完成體（表示動詞動作或情況發(fā)生在某時以前）和完成進(jìn)行體（是完成體與進(jìn)行體的結(jié)合，表示動詞動作一直持續(xù)到某時且還在進(jìn)行）。

二、幾組易混時態(tài)的區(qū)別

1. 一般過去時與現(xiàn)在完成時

一般過去時強(qiáng)調(diào)動詞動作或情況發(fā)生在過去某時或某段時間，是可以具體確定的，純屬過去，與現(xiàn)在無關(guān)。

現(xiàn)在完成時表示的動詞動作或情況發(fā)生在不能具體確定的過去某時或某段時間。它表示的事情與現(xiàn)在有關(guān)系，故此時態(tài)屬現(xiàn)在時間時態(tài)。

2. 一般過去時與過去進(jìn)行時

一般過去時只強(qiáng)調(diào)動詞動作發(fā)生的時間或情況存在的時間是在過去某時或某段時間。

過去進(jìn)行時強(qiáng)調(diào)動詞動作在過去某時刻正在進(jìn)行中或在過去某段時間內(nèi)一直進(jìn)行著。

3. 一般過去時與過去完成時

一般過去時是對現(xiàn)在說話時刻而言的，動詞動作或情況發(fā)生在過去某時候。

過去完成時是相對于過去某個時候而言，動詞動作或情況發(fā)生在過去某時候之前，表示的時間是“過去的過去”。注意：句子中一般有該動詞與之相對應(yīng)的過去某時間。

三、被動語態(tài)須注意的幾個方面

1. 熟記常用時態(tài)的被動語態(tài)構(gòu)成形式，分清某些時態(tài)的主動語態(tài)和被動語態(tài)形式。注意被動語態(tài)的動詞都是過去分詞形式。

2. get + 過去分詞相當(dāng)于被動結(jié)構(gòu)，如：Let’s ask the policeman for help， or we may get lost.

3. 易錯用被動語態(tài)的情況

1） 系動詞feel，look，smell，taste，sound，prove等不用被動語態(tài)。

2） happen，occur，take place，break out，last是不及物動詞，不用被動語態(tài)。

3） 動詞read，write，sell，wash，open，shut，lock，cut，wear，cook等表示主語具有的性質(zhì)、特征時，常與well，easily等修飾語連用，這時動詞不用被動語態(tài)。

4） 及物動詞cost，fit，have，wish或及物動詞短語arrive at/in，take part in，belong to等，不用被動語態(tài)。

When asked to speak at the Community Book Club Luncheon， I thought about several topics that might be of interest to a group of readers， and I considered doing a book review or discussing the life of a well-known literary figure， but I thought I would break with tradition in order to share some anecdotes from the life of a man， who， like you， enjoyed reading.

In spite of the fact that Thomas Alva Edison had almost no formal education， spending only three months in school， his mother taught him to read at quite an early age. Between the ages of nine and twelve， he read such difficult books as Humes’ History of England， Gibbon’s Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire， and Newton’s Principle.

As a young man， Mr Edison decided to read all of the books in the Detroit public library， systematically shelf by shelf. After finishing the first fifteen feet， he decided to reconsider the task.

A few years later， in Cincinnati， his love for reading almost cost him his life， and he stayed at the library until very late. Mr Edison started home with a pile of old magazines for which he had paid the large sum of two dollars. Doubting that he might be a thief， a policeman ordered him to stop. But Mr Edison was too deaf to hear the order. The policeman shot， and missed.

In addition to the electric light， Thomas Edison is known for inventing the photograph， microphone， mimeograph（油印機(jī)）， electric storage battery， and photographic film. Whenever he was paid for an invention， he used the money for his two loves—more experiments and more books.

A friend described Edison’s life in those busy days. “I went to visit Tom，” he said. “And I found him sitting behind a pile of books five feet high which he had ordered from New York， London， and Paris. He studied them night and day， eating at his desk and sleeping in his chair. In six weeks he had read all of the books and had performed more than two thousand experiments by using the formulas that he had studied.”

In recent years， lots of people have been drinking and driving， causing the number of deaths because of drunk driving to increase sharply. They show a total disregard for the law， and they don’t care about it. Thankfully， there are people on the road who do， like Larry Johnson， who was recently recognized by Mothers Against Drunk Driving （MADD） Barrie/Simcoe for following a drunk driver and reporting to the police.

Johnson was just driving out last October when he noticed someone in a car driving erratically. “It was 1：30 pm and I was heading into the town to get some dog food，” said Johnson. “This car came flying by the stop sign like a rocket. I thought if it was a teen， this was bad. So I called 911.” Following the car in his green pickup truck， Johnson watched as it drove up to County Road 90 and pulled into a ditch when it turned right. Then heading towards Barrie， the car kept driving in the grass for another 30 meters before it righted itself back onto the road. “I slowed down behind it to keep a safe distance，” said Johnson.

At Ferndale Drive， the car sped past the traffic light pole at the crossing， and kept heading along Dunlop Street towards Highway 400 north. At this point， Johnson had been following the car for about 20 minutes， and wondered where the police were. Finally， he heard the sirens（警笛）and saw an unmarked truck coming towards him on the highway.

“The truck forced the car to park by the roadside and I pulled up behind the car. The officer spoke with the driver， and then walked to me. He was a plain-clothes（便衣）police officer and told me that I had saved a little kid’s life. There was a three-year-old kid in the back seat.” said Johnson.

This spring， Johnson was given the MADD Community Hero award for going so far to save lives. “If I didn’t follow the driver and something unfortunate happened， I would have wondered how I could live with myself. I’ve learned how to do first aid and I thought if the car did turn over， at least I’d be able to help.”

39. When a mother is on MADD， her work is to ___ .

A. discover drunk drivers anywhere possible

B. follow the drunk driver and report to the police

C. help stop any drunk driving she notices

D. watch for all the drunk drivers around

40. What does the underlined word “erratically” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean？

A. Irregularly.B. Carefully.

C. Slowly.D. Safely.

41. Which of the following shows us the correct order of the events？

a. A plain-clothes police officer spoke to Johnson.

b. The drunk driver was found.

c. Johnson was recognized by MADD.

d. The drunk driver was forced to stop the car.

Scientists have discovered more details about how plants use water. Their findings could help to engineer plants that grow better and more effectively in conditions with higher levels of carbon dioxide（二氧化碳）. The carbon dioxide enters the plants through tiny holes or pores（氣孔）on the surface of leaves. However， each time a plant takes in one molecule（分子）of carbon dioxide gas， it loses hundreds of water molecules. Scientists say plants lose ninety-five percent of the water they take in through these pores. Some plants’ pores can tighten to save water during conditions of high carbon dioxide. Other plants are not able to do this as well. Now， scientists know how these tiny pores tighten in plants.

Julian Schroeder， a professor of biology at the University of California， says that carbon dioxide levels in the air are much higher now than they were in the past. However， he says， many plants are not closing their pores in order to hold in more water. He and his team have discovered proteins that control the tightening of a plant’s pores. The findings were published last month in Nature Cell Biology. Mr Schroeder believes the materials could be changed in some plants to increase their ability to store water.

The researchers found out that for every molecule of carbon dioxide taken in by the plants， they lost forty-four percent less water. They say this suggests that changing plants to save more water will not stop plant growth. This method might be used to help engineer food crops especially when the climate is dry. The discovery could help farmers meet a growing demand for food as water supplies decrease. However， the scientists say more research is needed.

42. The new discovery has been found because of the fact that ___ .

A. farmers’ growing demand for food should be satisfied

B. when a plant takes in one molecule of carbon dioxide gas， it loses hundreds of water molecules

C. changing plants to save more water will not affect plant growth

D. carbon dioxide increases while water supplies decrease

43. According to what Professor Julian Schroeder and his team suggest， which is TRUE？

A. The findings were published last year.

B. The plants lost fifty-four percent less water for every molecule.

C. Many plants are not closing their pores in order to hold in more water.

D. Changing plants to save more water will stop plant growth.

44. We can know from the passage that ___ .

A. it is a long way to go before the method is put into practice

B. this method must be used to help engineer food crops

C. no plants’ pores can tighten to save water

D. this method could not help farmers meet a growing demand for food

45. What might be the best title for the text？

A. New Understanding of How Plants Use Water

B. Details About How Plants Use Water

C. Helping Engineer Food Crops

D. Julian Schroeder and His Team
