●句型梳理

1.It is a pity that only six pieces of music in total by Abing were recorded for the future world to hear,but his popularity continues to this day.

It's a pity that...是一個(gè)常見的句型,意為“很遺憾……”。其中that引導(dǎo)的是主語從句,it是形式主語,用來代替后面的主語從句,以使句子平衡。例如：

It's a pity that you missed the important meeting held last Sunday.很遺憾你錯(cuò)過了上周日召開的重要會(huì)議。

It's a pity that she has made such a mistake.遺憾的是她犯了這樣的一個(gè)錯(cuò)誤。

【真題鏈接】

—The concert this evening is sure to be exciting.

—But it is a______that I can't go there with you. 【2015·綿陽中考題】

A.joy B.choice C.pity D.case

【答案與解析】C根據(jù)句意“——今晚的音樂會(huì)一定令人興奮。——但是很遺憾我不能和你一起去那兒了。”由具體語境可知,本題考查的是“It is a pity that...”句型,意為“很遺憾……”。故選C項(xiàng)。

2.That's how people in Japan are expected to greet each other.

be expected to do sth.意為“被期望做某事；應(yīng)該做某事”。表示“應(yīng)該做某事”時(shí),相當(dāng)于“be supposed to do sth.”形式。例如：

Mike could not be expected to finish all the work alone.不能期望邁克獨(dú)自完成所有的工作。

The French are expected to kiss when they meet for the first time.=The French are supposed to kiss when they meet for the first time.法國人第一次見面時(shí)應(yīng)該親吻。

【真題鏈接】

—Have you telephoned your husband?

—Yes.He is expected______back next week.【2015·河池中考題】

A.to coming B.to come

C.come D.coming

【答案與解析】B 根據(jù)答句的句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知本題考查be expected to do sth.句型,答句的意思是“是的。他下周應(yīng)該會(huì)回來”。故選B項(xiàng)。

3.Neither medicine nor rest can help him.

neither...nor...意為“既不……也不……”,是并列連詞短語,表示否定,通常用來連接兩個(gè)相同的句子成分。當(dāng)它連接兩個(gè)主語時(shí),謂語動(dòng)詞要用肯定形式,并且要與其靠近的主語在人稱和數(shù)上保持一致。例如：

In general,the weather in Britain is neither too cold in winter nor too hot in summer.一般來說,英國冬天的天氣不太冷,夏天的天氣也不太熱。

There is neither ice-cream nor green tea in the fridge.冰箱里既沒有冰淇淋也沒有綠茶。

Neither his father nor his mother is going with him.他的父親和母親都不打算和他一起去。

Neither my wife nor I have been to Brazil.我妻子和我都沒有去過巴西。

【特別提醒】

neither...nor...也可以連接兩個(gè)句子,但這兩個(gè)句子都要用倒裝語序。例如：

Neither did Eric write to me,nor did he call me.埃里克既沒給我寫信,也沒給我打電話。

【知識(shí)拓展】

both...and...是neither...nor...的反義短語,意為“……和……（兩者）都”,表示肯定的意思。當(dāng)both...and...作主語時(shí),謂語動(dòng)詞用復(fù)數(shù)形式。例如：

Both Tom and Lisa are from the United States.湯姆和麗薩都來自美國。

either...or...意為“要么……要么……；不是……就是……”,連接相同的句子成分，表示選擇。當(dāng)連接兩個(gè)主語時(shí),謂語動(dòng)詞要與后一個(gè)主語在人稱和數(shù)上保持一致。例如：

When Maryishappy,she eithersingsor dances.瑪麗高興時(shí),不是唱歌就是跳舞。

Either you or I am going there tomorrow morning.明天上午要么你去那里,要么我去那里。

1.I could speak______French______Chinese,but luckily I could talk with him in English.【2016·巴中中考題】

A.both;and B.neither;nor

C.either;or

【答案與解析】B both...and...意為“……和……（兩者）都”；neither...nor...意為“既不……也不……”；either...or...意為“要么……要么……”。根據(jù)題干中后一個(gè)分句的意思“但是幸運(yùn)的是,我能用英語和他交談”可知,題干中前一個(gè)分句的意思應(yīng)該是“我既不會(huì)說法語,也不會(huì)說漢語”。故選B項(xiàng)。

2.Neither Li Hua nor I______good at writing.【2016·永州中考題】

A.am B.is

C.are

【答案與解析】A neither...nor...意為“既不……也不……”,當(dāng)該短語連接兩個(gè)主語時(shí),謂語動(dòng)詞要與nor后的主語在人稱和數(shù)上保持一致。本題中nor后的主語是I,因此be動(dòng)詞用am。故選A項(xiàng)。

3.—When shall we send the washing machine to you,Mrs.Read?

—______on Thursday______on Friday,please.I'll be at home then. 【2016·海南中考題】

A.Either;or B.Neither;nor

C.Both;and

【答案與解析】A either...or...意為“要么……要么……”；neither...nor...意為“既不……也不……”；both...and...意為“……和……（兩者）都”。問句的意思是“里德夫人,我們什么時(shí)候把洗衣機(jī)給您送去？”。答句中后一個(gè)句子的意思是“那時(shí)我在家”,其中的“那時(shí)”指的就是前面提到的Thursday和Friday。由此可見,送洗衣機(jī)的時(shí)間要么是在星期四，要么是在星期五。

4.Both Peter and Tom______from England and English is their native language.【2016·百色市中考題】

A.am B.is

C.are D.be

【答案與解析】C both...and...意為“……和……（兩者）都”,當(dāng)連接兩個(gè)主語時(shí),謂語動(dòng)詞用復(fù)數(shù)形式。

4.I'd rather go to Blue Ocean because I like to listen to quiet music while I'm eating.

would rather意思是“寧愿；寧可”,經(jīng)常縮寫為’d rather形式。would沒有人稱和數(shù)的變化,其后接動(dòng)詞原形。例如：

Mrs.Green would ratherworkin the countryside.格林夫人寧愿在農(nóng)村工作。

【知識(shí)拓展】

would rather與than連用可構(gòu)成would rather...than....句式,意為“寧愿……而不愿……”,此時(shí)would rather和than后面都接動(dòng)詞原形。如果would rather和than后面所接的是同一個(gè)動(dòng)詞,那么than后的動(dòng)詞可以省略。would rather...than...也可寫成would...rather than...,二者的意思和用法相同。例如：

The children would rather walk than take a bus there.孩子們寧愿步行也不愿乘公共汽車去那里。

They would rather play soccer than(play)volleyball.他們寧愿踢足球,也不愿打排球。

【真題鏈接】

—Are you going swimming this afternoon?

—I'd rather______with you.【2016·蘭州中考題】

A.to go shopping B.go shoping

C.to go shoping D.go shopping

【答案與解析】D 答句中的“I'd rather”是I would rather的縮寫形式。would rather意為“寧愿”,后接動(dòng)詞原形,排除A、C兩項(xiàng)。shop的動(dòng)詞-ing形式是shopping,排除B項(xiàng)。故選D項(xiàng)。
